Great staff, very sociable and welcoming bar & reception area and right by the beach. Obviously we're talking about a hostel here, so facilities are what you pay for. I think the private room (shared bathroom) was very much value for money with a good bed. My room was on the side of the building and could not hear the bar or the road at all. So if you value a quiet room, you can ask for the side room! Loved the place, super good vibes, had a great week making new friends as a solo traveler.

Nothing really, as long as you are aware you are staying at a social hostel, meaning that music will be on til midnight and that hostels do lack in certain luxuries hotels have, you'll have a blast.

The social area was great, the bathrooms were clean, the beds were super comfy

Nothing! ( besides somewhere stealing my shoes that I left at the door🥲)

Clean, good number of bathroom, good staff

Nothing to say

We absolutely loved our stay at Echo Hostel, the main area was awesome with lots of seating options and a pool table, perfect for socializing, and the beach seating was lovely and relaxing, they had some activities like morning yoga, and drink specials on nights that there were parties going on around the island. The staff were lovely and truly cared about providing us with an excellent experience, any issues we had (which were hardly any) were addressed with kindness and care. The location is great for getting around, very close to the night market for some yummy late night eats, and many little shops nearby. The rooms were clean and we always saw people constantly cleaning the bathrooms and main areas.

Everything was great. There were some ants in the bedroom when we arrived but hey, it’s Thailand, it’s hard to get away from them. We just asked the cleaning staff for a morning sweep and the ants would stay away for most of the day!

I stayed here for the full moon party and it was great! Loved being right on the beach and the rooms were very comfortable with everything you need- curtains, sockets and lights by the bed. The hostel organised transport to the full moon party as well as the other parties like the jungle rave which was great. The bar was a nice area to socialise and the staff were friendly.

The food served in the restaurant isn’t great and I found it to be very strong smelling when you leave your bedroom first thing in the morning. I thought the hostel wasn’t that social. Could’ve been because of the full moon party but it largely seemed to be groups rather than solo travellers who were friendly but didn’t want to socialise much. They do play music until around 2am but this didn’t bother me as I knew what I was signing up for with booking a more ‘party’ hostel! Other than a few restaurants there’s not loads around the hostel so you need a scooter or to pay for tuktuks to go to the busier areas.

Echo Hostel is 𝘵𝘩𝘦 place to stay at if you're visiting Ko Phangan, there's no contest. The hostel itself has a very nice vibe to it, the interior design provides a relaxed and light atmosphere. The location is superb, everything is within reach - you can rent a scooter right across the street. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful - always smiling and always readily available for anything you might need. The owners are usually to be found in the lounge area, and if you encounter any kind of problem, then trust me, they will go up and beyond to help you. The food they provide is also great. I stayed here for 5 days and I enjoyed every second of it. No real complaints.

At times the music was a bit too loud, and seldom were there any breaks to just enjoy the silence and buzz of this place. Although not to worry, the music they play is quite good and chill.

Very easy to socialize and great hangout area! The best place to come to as a solo traveller.

One of the volunteers told me that *this is not a 5 resort hotel* when i asked if I could have some help with the AC. Not very charming answer lets say.

The bar is really nice - comfy, nice beach area, chilled people and good vibes. The staff is very helpful, as long as you have questions. The location ist very good you can easily go to the night market, rent a scooter and get your laundry done. You can reach different parts of the Island in a short time and there are different Restaurants around or you can eat at Echo Beach, too. A 7-eleven ist also near and you can have a chilled time at the bar. They also have a lot of special offers and music all the time.

In comparison with other accomodation in Thailand I found it quite expensive for what you got in the room (private). I also would have liked more instructions where to find what e.g. that there ist a water refill (I just found out the day I left). Nevertheless, if I have asked, they would have told me, I think. It was all a bit passive Service like.

Looooved this hostel. Very nice social and chill. Staff very friendly. A lot of comfortable seats in the living room and outside (hammocks, cushions, chairs). In front of the beach for a little swim (even tho the sand is not the best with corals). Possible to use mats for yoga. Pool table. Close to cheap and good locals restaurants in town. Clean (the staff team cleans every morning).

The restaurant is good but a bit expensive. Big dorms and we ear the music from the bar until 1am but not very loud.

Felt like home from the first second I got here. Amazing common area, big space and lot of spots to chill. The beach side is nice, under the shade of coconut trees. Always great music (techno, dub, good electro, rock, some dnb sometimes - never mainstream). Free pool table where I got stuck for hours playing with amazing people. This is more than a hostel, a lot of people actually come here without even staying here. Thanks Echo I'll be back!

Music was sometimes a bit too loud, dorms are not the best to be honest, showers neither. Might need some renovations and a deep cleaning. But the social side of the hostel was so great I didn't really care.
