Ananas Samui Hostel

Ko Samui


This charming little hostel, set against a jungle-covered mountain backdrop, is run by an extremely sweet elderly lady, and is excellent value for those with their own transport, as it is quite far from any of the main roads and village centres. It's worth considering – given these prices you'll have change to rent a scooter (also available on-site).
