Pajamas Koh Chang

This is an excellent place. I stayed a week and was so sad to leave! It became home. The staff are absolutely delightful and one of them had a smile on her face the whole time. They know exactly what you need before you've even asked! The breakfasts are great and offer something other than gluten, which is a nice change. I would prefer my eggs hot, but I learned to get them once a new batch had been cooked. It's a shame you have to pay for juice for breakfast. However, note that you should ask for coffee, not use a sachet as I did the first day. It's from a proper coffee machine and it's excellent! I loved that they had a fridge freezer for the guests to use and labels so everyone can mark their own food. The facilities are exceptional. The hang out areas are amazing. The photos didn't look real, but they are just as in the photos! I loved the music that was playing. You can walk to the beach barefoot as it's so close and along a boardwalk. It seemed to me the best beach I visited on the island as many of them aren't very wide. This one is long and wide (when the tide is out). There's a lovely book library where you can swap a book or read what they have available. They have yoga mats. The beds are super comfy, and I really liked that they have a space at the end of the mattress where you can put your stuff without it being all over the floor. It is secure, you have a key card to get up to the rooms, a key for your bedroom door and a massive locker under your bed. You need to use your own padlock. The location was good and you can get a taxi from outside the door. They organise buses for you and it was cheaper from there than from a local tour operator. You can do your own laundry, but it doesn't really come out clean. The place is really well maintained. An excellent place to stay, a home from home. I truly miss it! And no, I haven't been paid for this! ;oP

There was a great vibe on the pool and lounge area with backpackers (young and old) and some families. Really enjoyed hanging out even though I was not planning on making any acquaintances. The pool was also nice and clean and the beds comfortable. The breakfast was pretty good for a hostel and we weren't sick of it after 6 days.

We had a private room which was nice and spacious, good powerful shower and good air con. The breakfast was really nice with nice coffee. Location is decent for getting around but transport would be ideal. The local restaurants are really good. The common area was a nice place to chill and do work. The WiFi connection was good

We stayed 4 nights total after booking 1 night in the pool/garden facing room with ensuite bathroom and private balcony/terrace. The staff at reception are 10*. They were really friendly and helpful. Our bedroom had a Thai meets contemporary feel and was clean, maintained daily on request, linens refreshed on request. The private balcony/terrace had a small table and comfy contemporary Thai style cushions to relax on. The bathroom was small but decent size, with working hot water shower. The AC worked well. The pool clean and worm, enjoyable for swimming. We didn’t opt for the breakfast, but we did have the filter brew coffee.. Very good coffee! We paid for the first day for 2 large cups of coffee and they gave us refills the rest of our stay , which we greatly appreciated! We loved our private balcony, which was at the end of the garden with a view of the corner of the pool. The building was detached from the others, as in no shared walls, so we only had other guests living above us. This made our room quiet and peaceful. One night there was Thai karaoke going on next door but it finished at a reasonable time and didn’t bother us too much. The place is also a hostel, housed on the floor above the reception and breakfast area; again detached from the private rooms. It feels a young sociable place because of the hostel guests who seem to use the pool more regularly. We could rent a motorbike in decent condition as well as get help booking transfers to our next destination (Koh Mak) through reception, which all went smoothly. The location is a 2 minute walk to the beach and there are a few restaurants within walking distance, as well as a small shop across the road. There is also a 7-11 about 10-15 minutes walk away, but best to hire a motorbike to take advantage of all the sightseeing around Koh Mak. Altogether we were happy with our stay at Pajamas.

The staff is really welcoming, always smiling and they do everything they can to help you (even booking activities or taxis). The location is perfect. One minute from the beach. Also the pool is amazing and the common area is very big. I stayed here 3 nights but I would have liked to stay longer. Unfortunately everything was fully booked so if you want to book here, do it for more days because you will definitely want to stay longer. In addition to the pool, beach and many activities, this hostel offers the best breakfast buffet in Thailand, with fluffy pancakes and waffles, home made jams and peanut butter, fresh fruit and much more. Also in the evening you can have a beer or wine and relax by the pool or take part in a karaoke or a pub quiz 😁 And don't forget to rent a SUP board to enjoy the crystal clear water during the day or the spectacular sunset.
