What makes The Cocoon different from other hostels on Koh Samet?
The Cocoon was designed around one simple idea: travel is better when you’re well-rested.
We’re a comfort-first hostel that focuses on quality sleep, thoughtful design, and a relaxed social atmosphere. Instead of loud bars or forced party vibes, we offer a calm space where travelers can connect naturally, recharge properly, and get real local insight from people who live on the island.
It’s social without being chaotic, and peaceful without feeling boring.
Who is The Cocoon best suited for?
The Cocoon is ideal for:
- Backpackers looking for comfort and value
- Solo travelers who want easy social connection
- Couples who prefer a quiet, well-designed hostel
- Travelers who care about cleanliness, sleep, and good showers
If you want a party hostel, there are options on the island.
If you want to sleep well, feel comfortable, and still meet people — you’ll feel at home here.
Is The Cocoon a social hostel?
Yes — just not a party hostel.
Our shared spaces are designed to make conversation easy and natural. Guests often connect over breakfast, board games, movie nights, or while planning beach days and boat trips.
There’s no loud bar or pressure to drink. Community happens organically, which many solo travelers appreciate.
How comfortable are the beds?
Very — and that’s intentional.
Every bed includes:
- Proper hotel-quality linens
- Two pillows
- A reading light
- Universal plug socket
- Locker with built-in lock
- Full blackout curtains for privacy
- Strong air-conditioning throughout all rooms
We’ve stayed in a lot of hostels ourselves, and we built the beds we wish we’d had while traveling.
How are the bathrooms and showers?
Your day starts and ends with a shower — so we made sure they’re good.
Expect:
- Strong water pressure
- Reliable hot water
- Clean, well-maintained bathrooms
- Hairdryers
- Personal storage for toiletries
- A high bathroom-to-guest ratio
No cold surprises. No waiting forever. Just a comfortable shower when you need it.
Where is The Cocoon located?
We’re right in the heart of Koh Samet town, just:
- 4 minutes’ walk from the pier
- 6 minutes’ walk from the beach
Everything you need is close by — restaurants, cafés, bars, bike rentals, convenience stores, and shops — but the hostel itself is tucked away enough to stay quiet at night.
Central, but calm.
What facilities do you offer?
Guests have access to:
- Comfortable front-room seating
- Bean bags in the TV lounge
- TV with Netflix
- Board and card games
- A small library for book swaps and book purchases
- Outdoor drying rack for beach clothes
- Foot wash area to keep the hostel sand-free
We also provide:
- Beach towel rental (so you don’t need to use your bath towel)
- Free snorkel and mask borrowing
Do you offer breakfast?
Yes — and it’s simple, but done properly.
Breakfast includes real filter coffee, not 3-in-1 instant sachets, plus light breakfast options to start your day right. It’s the kind of breakfast we actually want to eat while traveling.
Can you help with tours and activities?
Absolutely.
We can arrange:
Because we live here, our advice is based on real experience — not a sales script behind a reception desk.
Is The Cocoon clean?
Cleanliness is one of our top priorities.
Rooms, bathrooms, and shared spaces are cleaned regularly, and we’re hands-on hosts who care deeply about maintaining a comfortable, hygienic environment.
Guests often mention cleanliness as one of the things they notice most.
Who runs The Cocoon?
We’re a husband-and-wife team.
Nick brings years of travel experience and knows what makes a hostel genuinely comfortable. May has lived on Koh Samet for over a decade and managed a hotel on the island, bringing deep local knowledge and hospitality expertise.
You’re staying with real people — not a chain, not absentee owners.
Why do guests call The Cocoon the best hostel on Koh Samet?
Because it’s thoughtfully designed, genuinely comfortable, and run by people who care.
No gimmicks. No forced vibes.
Just a calm, well-run hostel where you can sleep well, meet good people, and enjoy the island properly.
