Description

Magic Hostel is a hostel in Loh Dalum Bay on Koh Phi Phi, with direct access to the beach. The setting pairs sea views with a short walk to Loh Dalum Beach and nearby restaurants and evening venues. Its accommodation is dormitory-based, with mixed rooms offering bunk beds rather than private suites. The room options are air-conditioned, tiled and include tea and coffee-making equipment and a dining area; the property has shared bathrooms with showers.

Free WiFi is available in public areas, and the shared lounge/TV area, minimarket and luggage storage add useful services for time between outings. The tour desk supports excursions; walking tours, pub crawls, hiking and canoeing are among the activities. Breakfast is served in the room, and express check-in and check-out are available. Guests often praise the beach access, quiet street, tidy shared bathrooms and helpful staff; some find the mattresses very hard, while thin walls can let hallway and street noise through.

Rooms

2 room types · 40–40 m²

Magic Hostel offers two mixed-dormitory bed options, both with a bunk bed, air conditioning and 40 m² of space. Each bed option accommodates one person. One is a bed in a 10-bed mixed dormitory; the other is a bunk bed in a mixed dormitory room. Both room types include a tea and coffee maker, electric kettle, dining area, fan, tiled flooring and drying rack, giving them a similar practical setup.

Details vary in smaller ways: the 10-bed dormitory also provides linen, a socket near the bed, a clothes rack and wake-up service or an alarm clock. The other option includes a socket near the bed and hand sanitiser. Air conditioning and a bunk bed remain common to both, while the individual fittings give each room type a distinct set of conveniences.
