5 best hostels in Ko Phi Phi

Hostels in Ko Phi Phi sit at the heart of island life, putting you within easy reach of Ton Sai Pier and the lively lanes of Ton Sai Village—where travellers cluster for tours, food, convenience shops, and laid-back nightlife. For many first-timers, the area is also perfectly placed for classic scenery, including the viewpoint that overlooks the “double bay” layout of Ton Sai Bay and Loh Dalum Bay.

These hostel-style stays suit backpackers, solo travellers, and budget-minded groups who want social energy without compromising practicality. The best-fit properties are the ones that help you maximise short island days: quick access to ferry landings, tour departure points, and walkable beach areas—rather than remote, hard-to-reach locations that add cost and friction. In Ko Phi Phi, that typically means staying close to Ton Sai Bay/Ton Sai Pier, or near Loh Dalum Bay for a slightly more beach-forward vibe.

From our inventory, options such as Kewalin Hostel and Neverland Hostel work well for travellers who want a reliable hostel base in the main zone. For a quieter, better-value approach, Hangover Hostel and Bodega Koh Phi Phi are set up for guests who prioritise sleep and location over extras.
