Close to the pier and our dive centre. Good mountain view and cool bathroom.

Even in private rooms noises could be heard from the bar. When the artist was good we didn’t mind :P But in private rooms it’s not too bad and you sleep good.

The White Jail Hostel is amazing in every way! The facilities are super high quality with comfortable beds, plenty of bathrooms and it is extra clean and nice. Most importantly, is the super friendly and helpful service provided by Yupar who runs the reception desk and the entire hostel. Yupar has a very positive vibe and can help you with any questions about your stay and about activities in beautiful Koh Tao. After traveling for over two months this was truly one of my favorite places to stay in one the most amazing destinations in the world. Highly recommend the White Jail Hostel

I liked everything about the White Jail

The position is perfect. You can reach everything in less than 10 minutes. It was very clean. There are common areas, but this hostel seems not as social as others, so expect chilling and not partying. They also offer laundry service (express if needed). They serve food if you are hungry.

The bed was uncomfortable (a bit too hard). I requested a lower bed and unfortunately, it was not available nor was offered to me to change when available.

The first important thing to say is that its location is good, it is close to the port of arrival to Ko Tao and you have different gastronomic offers quite close where you can eat quite well and even at a good price. You also have plenty of places to rent a scooter in case you want to do so. Regarding the facilities, they are fine, although they could have signage so that people know where the balcony is where you can go to relax. Depending on where you choose to sleep, you will have more or less noise. In my case, I chose the beds in the boxes and although it is a bit more expensive, you rest quite well. There is good storage space to leave things and the bathrooms are generally always kept clean. Regarding the staff, I could stress that they are one of the best things about the hostel, helpful and friendly. Special thanks to Yupar, who is at the reception for his willingness to always help me. Recommended to stay here 👍🏼

What a cool place! I heard it used to be a prison a long time ago, so it was really interesting to stay there. The staff are super friendly and helpful. It was clean and exceeded our expectations. The rooms were big and in good condition. A light breakfast is available in the mornings, and there are bars and restaurants located literally next door. The bar had loud noise, but it stopped at a decent time and didn’t bother us at all as they provided earplugs. The room was spacious, and we had a nice balcony too. Got good value for the money.

Everything was good

We stayed twice here, as it's so close to the pier for arriving and departing. Staff very friendly and professional. We had a private deluxe twin which was right next to reception. It's a large room, good bathroom and very clean. We walked to Sairee beach in about 20 minutes. I had read lots of reviews about noise, but maybe they don't play as loud now, anyway it stopped by 12 ish so really it didn't bother us at all. Totally recommend staying here.

We'd have liked an extra pillow each 😁

Located near by the pier, closed to the centre but far from the main busy area. Very Clean, comfortable, providing all the services necessary for a pleasant stay. I could charge my phone wirelessly with the bedside table which was a genius and helpful touch. everyday fresh water bottles and toilet paper were left outside of the room. Staff was great!

No complaints!

it’s a good value for money and the rooms are very comfortable, we also really liked the bathroom

very very noisy at night but they let us know about this at the time of booking, they also offer hear plugs. The power went off for 4/5 hours almost every day and the room got so hot because the AC couldn’t be used.

The room i stayed in was clean and spacious. It was way above my expectations, with the glass doors letting in natural light onlooking the trees. There was music from the bar next door (which I thoroughly enjoyed listening to for the evening) it was loud, however it quietened down from 11:30 and after that, with the earbuds provided I had a great nights sleep! Location is great, near to the pier which worked for convenience but also close enough to the main areas

Nothing at all!

White Jail is central to everything, a sort walk from the ferries (saves time and hassle with taxis). We stayed in a double room at the back of the property which was ideal for us.

The only thing we slightly didnt like, and it is mentioned when you are booking, is the music next door, saying that it doesn’t go on late and the hotel provide ear plugs.
