Us Hostel

Top choice in Ko Samui


Laid-back Us Hostel is a superb backpacker option. A large swimming pool sits surrounded by a series of converted shipping containers that have been stylishly stacked to create a cool, modern hostel with a large open lobby, where excellent coffee and Thai food is served. Rooms are clean and spacious, and the staff are knowledgeable and super friendly.

The hostel can also arrange scooter rentals and all sorts of onward travel tickets.
