FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is it a hostel or a hotel?
It's a hybrid. High-end private rooms feel like a boutique hotel; dorms are upscale with stairs (no ladders).
How loud is it really?
Very. The pool area has a DJ daily, and Chaweng Beach is the party center. Expect noise until late.
Is it suitable for digital nomads?
Yes, there is a dedicated co-working space and strong WiFi, but focus might be hard with the party vibes.
Can I bring guests back to my room?
Yes, for private rooms, but they usually need to leave ID at reception. Dorms are strictly for registered guests.
Is the pool open at night?
Pool access is generally allowed until midnight, often accompanied by the beach club events.
How far is the nightlife?
You are in it. The hotel is on Chaweng Beach, and the main strip (Green Mango) is a short walk away.
