Hangover Chill & Hill Hostel

The name gives it away — Hangover Chill & Hill Hostel isn’t trying to be fancy, and that’s exactly its charm. Perched on the hills of Koh Phi Phi, this laid-back spot captures the island’s party-friendly vibe while offering respite from the main strip chaos. Recent guests rated the location 8.7 out of 10, putting you close enough to the action but far enough away to actually sleep.

Two accommodation styles cater to different travel budgets: private Standard Bungalows sleeping two, or the classic backpacker experience in mixed dormitory rooms with bunk beds. The hillside setting means you’ll get actual views rather than staring at another building’s wall — a real advantage on an island where space comes at a premium. With both bathroom facilities and kitchen access available, you can save money on meals while still having the option to join other travelers for island-hopping adventures to spots like Hat Maya or Koh Phi Phi Le.

Insider Tip: Check-in runs from 2 PM to 8 PM only, so don’t arrive on a late ferry expecting to get settled. Plan your island transport accordingly.

Backpackers and budget-conscious travelers will feel right at home here. The 9.2/10 Booking.com rating reflects solid execution of the hostel basics without pretense. This isn’t luxury accommodation, and the name makes that clear from the start. The hill location means a bit more walking to reach restaurants and bars, but that’s the tradeoff for better views and quieter nights. Social travelers looking to meet others while exploring the Phi Phi islands will appreciate the mix of private and shared accommodations.

At $76 per night, you’re paying fair value for Phi Phi’s inflated island economy. The location gives you easy access to boat trips visiting Koh Bi Da Nok and Koh Mai Phai without the premium pricing of beachfront properties. Transport connections help you explore the wider island group, while the hillside position offers a break from the main town’s intensity.
