Hip Box 26 Boutique Resort Suratthani

Resort

Simply worst place ever! Don’t go! nothing near! You cannot eat or do nothing else without a car! Worst reception ever! Bicicle for free is a cheat, they are all broken! Simply worst place I ever been!

I have stayed at similar amazing container hotels for similar money. This one just didn't get it right. Scruffy craftsmanship inside with shoddy upkeep and repairs. The swimming pool was murky and filter wasn't on. We were excided to get in on a hot day, but we had to give it a miss as it was so gross.

Budget friendly. Clean and a quiet place to stay and relax.

Will definitely return if I am again in this city, there is a swimming pool and the grounds are beautiful:)

Place is not at all like photos, bathrooms are horrible, smelly and moldy. Insects everywhere in the room. Had to deal worth huge, medium and tiny spiders as well as tons of mosquitos. The only person at reception who speaks English is not nice and very unhelpful. Like the cheap snacks they offer, the place is overpriced for what it offers!

The idea and design is cool if you not mind a super tiny room. Everything is so small here from room to pool. But as I said the design is great. Staff doesn't have much knowledge about nearby.

The cheapest I can get… Clean mostly self service.

The dorm is huge (triple bunks, 30 people) and you don't even get a blanket. No power plugs near the beds. The containers and the pool are nice, though.

You get what you pay… no locker facility. No a/c.

Cheap with interesting cabins from old shipping containers. Free bikes allow you to travel into town. Similar to Glamping.

You can spend a night here while waiting your next bus, it will not the best time in your life! The reception stuff is not friendly. You will not be shown a room before they scan your passport! And you will see it not entering inside! I've never seen such rules. They give you the key Just After you pay for the room plus deposit for the key and remote controls! Be careful, don't lose the receipt they will write, bring it back together with remotes and key! You will also sign a paper about penalties. Then you will sleep in a cargo container. No windows, just aircon. Not even one single hook for hanging your clothes. Put in on the floor, or create something. Good things — clean bedsheets and free bicycles. Use them for going to eat. The restaurant near hotter expected 400 baht for a meal I had just for 40 in 500 meters away.

PROS — I have stayed here for the past 2 years as I travel though for work. It's the best place for value with small gym and snacks walking distance to 711 and family mart. Also a really nice milk shop on the corner selling cakes and flavour milk. Also there is tuk tuk bus takes you a along the road to shopping malls and the downtown city. Nere airport! And nere bus station it's and plus of you have a flight the next day like me. They also able to do taxi service from hotel to airport at a ok price. Rooms are aircon with TV (only Thai) and also shower. Beds are ok. Room I would give a 7/10 for the price! It's amazing. They have bikes for use free and also you can book most of your travel there. CONS — Respetion don't speak much English (I speak Thai) and I use to help the people when I passed by respetion to help. Although the language is limited they are friendly and kind and safe people. They will do there upmost to help you if you are nice in return. Been kind and not getting frustrated goes a long way and in the end you will get what you need (and more) Some rooms can be little moldie from the rain BUT not dirty. Just moldie (damp) the gym dosnt not have aircon but had a fan. That is about it really I have the choice to stay anywhere in Suratthani but I always chose this place. Sometimes I stay in enougher hotel Sabaidee hotel is very good little bit more exspence but I spend time in both.

Cheap place to sleep when the train or the Bus to arrive late again in surat thani and you don't want to spend the night at the pier, Don sak, or in the night on a Boat. The room is minimalistic and small, but ok for sleep. Climate, TV, hot water. Tours can be booked at very reasonable prices directly at the reception. Koh lanta, koh phiphi, phuket, koh samui, koh phangan, krabi. You can definitely find cheaper elsewhere a couple of baht but if you have it after the hardships of Bus / train travel it fancy, everyone must decide for themselves. Budget place with a nice, friendly staff. Everything is okay. You can book your tours to krabi, koh lanta, koh samui, koh phangan, koh phuket, koh phiphi right on this place. It's fair priced.

Tiny little boxes, bad Service, dirty!

Not A place I would recommend. Price may be cheap but there were other comparable places nearby that look like they offered much more for the same price. Space was very small indeed, bed was very uncomfortable. Shower however I had excellent water pressure not sure how long that will last since the owner doesn't apparently know you need to tile the Gypson or the water will destroy it. Wi-Fi was terrible, basically nonexistent. Very easy to check into staff are reasonably friendly.

Very friendly staff and a cute little box with bed and bathroom for good money, definitely worth to stay 1-2 nights.
