Reviews of Scuba Square Hostel

Great location next to the pier and a great sea view from the common area. Large capsules with dark curtains. Very clean.

No lockers for luggage. Not enough spaces to dry clothes and towels.

I stayed there for 10days in total and I couldn’t recommend the place more. It’s cheap, amazing sea view and it’s just by the pier, so as soon as you arrive you don’t have to worry about getting a taxi. Mattresses are the most comfortable I’ve ever had in a hotel and you get a private pod. On top of that, it’s not a party hostel, so every night I slept very well, without anyone interrupting me. It’s very clean, during the day there is always someone cleaning the place. The staff is really nice as well. I recommended the place to my friends who stayed in a different hostel and they were all glad that they swaped. I’m coming back to Koh Tao in two weeks and I’m sure I’ll stay in the same place.

Literally nothing, best hostel I’ve ever stayed at by far

The best thing about the hostel is the location - right by the sea - 5 mins walk and you could be in a beautiful spot where is a swing. Also Rajar at the reception was amazing. Helped me with anything I needed like arranging private taxi bike, booking snorkeling etc he was chilled an fun and that made the stay so great! P.s comfortable beds too!

The beds are really comfy the location is really close to the pier, there's a lot of restaurants and shops nearby.

Not enough showers, there's a rooftop bar on top which is really noisy, the blanket was too small.

Location near to the pier ,

The manager not really friendly, no towel. no soap in a shower

Staying at Scuba Square Hostel is a ‘no-brainer’. Best location, literally on the beach, housing a stunning sea-breeze from the common area seats and beanbags, but above all - the best vibes. Priceless. The staff here are abundant in kindness and chill. They will go above and beyond to accommodate any specified need or additional request. Rajar in particular is found to say ‘no problem, brother’ in the most warm way to any request little or large, and for me he epitomises the overall welcome found at Scuba Square Hostel. I found the fellow travellers here to be mainly divers and free spirits, very respectful and not a crowd who are up loud and partying. As a solo female traveller I felt not only safe but cosy and ‘at home’ amongst a tribe. On another practical level, the hostel is less than 100m from the pier which, on an island where there are few and very expensive taxis, will save you precious Baht on transport to and from your accommodation!!

I chose an air conditioned dorm room. The room itself is adequate, basic but nice. The air conditioning was only permitted for use however between 7pm and 10pm. The peak heat of the day is between 1-5pm so this meant that daytime use of the dorm room was impossible, for relaxing. This is the only major flaw of my time here. Air conditioning restrictions are common on Koh Tao but never as extreme as this was.

good location friendly helpful staff. Bu don't go to their recommended bike rental (really bad experience)

Super clean, 6 bed in one dorm with curtain, near to the beach. The staffs are friendly especially the receiptionist Guy was down to Earth. Love his vibe.

Will come back to this hostel.

Good location, nice guy on the check in

Even with aircon on the top row of beds was really hot to sleep in. The pillow had a scent of body odour. There was blood smeared above the men’s urinal

Great location right beside the pier. Around many cafes, restaurants, dive centres, and even a rooftop bar right above. And it faces the sunset right on the beach! Very helpful and friendly staff - at the reception and housekeeping. Bunks are very spacious and comfortable. Building seems newly built, so everything is in good condition and the staff keep it very clean. Part of Scuba Club dive center, so it's really easy to organize dives which depart and return right at the hostel.

Aircon in the room is only on 7pm-11am, and it gets reallyyy hot in the day that it's not possible to rest in the room in the day. But the staff are very nice and will help switch it on for short hours if you ask nicely. WiFi doesn't reach inside the dorm if you're in the further end of the rooms.

Location close to harbour. Bed comfy, curtains, enough sockets. Light switch at bed entry. The guy checking me in was very nice and professional.

-1 bad/slow wifi connection especially in room, had to use sim instead. -1 Aircon not on throughout the day -1 no shoe policy implementation doesn't make sense.. You will get your feet dirty in the hallways and go to bed like that. barefoot in the toilets? Disgusting. At least Provide slippers for the bathroom and/or inside. -1 no noise insulation, everything carries through the place. you will hear people walking and talking in the hallway. The cleaning stuff at 8 in the morning. Construction drilling at 9 am. Small stuff already needs repair. Missing shower knob. Broken door latch in the room.

Nothing

All

Comfortable, clean and great location

Comfy, lounging areas, rooftop bar, friendly staff

Location (close to pier, 7/11), pretty sunset views. The bathrooms were pretty clean.

The towels they “provide” for 250 baht deposit (they return 200) were dirty and smelly. The blankets were also not washed (we saw hair on them). There are no options to lock the rooms.

Very nice staff
