HuaHin Night Market Hostel — Hotel in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province

this hostel is run by the perfect little accommodation couple. One likes to play games (mostly board games), the other likes to watch movies. And the mother.. well... she’s on higher spiritual plane. :p

the hostel is surprisingly hot, especially since i had just come from camping for most of my trip. Every common area would need a fan to become livable, otherwise, mosquitos will come. The roof was unfurnished, and the sofa on the second floor didn’t have a fan, so, that leaves the room and the first floor.

the dorm room has 4 beds, no windows, and absolutely freezing cold air conditioner (unfortunately, my roommate was a cold cold European).

parking is... chaotic. A car is surely impossible during the night, but a motorcycle can be parked, you just have park before the night market begins, otherwise... well.. you can take a stroll with your motorcycle. :p Also, there are about 6 or more dogs that can pee on your motorcycle, every night (yes, 6 or more dogs, owned by the lady next door). If you have saddle bags, i don’t think it’s safe place, as i’ve seen one shady guy pass by several times..

there is a key deposit. i forgot that idea still existed! :/

at around 300 baht (post-covid re-opening), it’s not quite Ko Phangan / Pai price, but it’s possible Hua Hin has become expensive, as every other business shut down.

mentioning covid, this isn’t exactly the safest location... :3

the male manager (/owner?) is super friendly / amiable. I had a sorta emergency, in that i needed a place to stay to use as an address to extend my visa. He helped by answering a phone call and writing a letter from/to the immigration worker. It all worked out fine, all thanks to him! Though he was busy “working” (playing some crypto game, lol) at the time, we were able to get one board game in. He’s possibly the friendliest and most helpful hostel manager i’ve encountered in Thailand!! His partner, on the contrary, was stuck looking at screens (either youtube, tv, or movie) so.., i couldn’t really communicate well with her, beyond watching a movie with her. :/ maybe that is the covid life?? loll

anyway, though a little expensive for me at the time, i’m very thankful for the visa help. Eventually, one gets tired of the trash ‘n smells ‘n sounds of the night market and those dogs.., and even the decaying city (where’s the beach?). It’s quite the experience (great for backpackers!), a good place to explore the city from, but not a place to stay long-term,...

Im used to hotels, this was my first time in a hostal, i was absolutely shocked at how incredible the staff are, the facilities, the cleanliness and the rooms! |They even give you a little extra by suppling free water, free coffee/tea, and even a little basic free food. The location is perfect, right in the middle of the night market (hence the name) but no trouble sleeping at all. |At the end of our stay we booked a bus ajd boat journey through the hotel at recption as we were going to koh tao, the staff are so friendly they take you free of charge to the bus stop and wave you goodbye as you leave, they never stoppedcsmiling and always asking if theres any problems or if you need anything. |Literally cannot fault this place.... all my friends are used to hostals and thet said it was the best they had been in|And Wow so cheap!|Thank you to all the staff at night market hostal, keep doing what your doing and if we return to hua hin we will all be choosing to stay...

I stayed for 2 nights and it was amazing! The staff is super friendly and helpful, the location is really good as it is located exactly where the night market is. Every time I need an information about where to go and where to eat the staff/owner is happily provide me the information. He arranged the bike renting for me as well (250 baht/day).

Free coffee and instantly noodles, is amazing even though I didn't try the noodles but it is what we call a good service. The internet and room is good. The bed is separated with blocked bed so guest also have their own little privacy when sleeping. Oh the rooftop is also adding the value to...
