Loft Hostel Koh Tao is a 2-star hostel in Mae Haad, Koh Tao, 150 m from Lomprayah Koh Tao Pier, with mixed dormitories and an on-site tour desk. Its three accommodation options provide a bunk bed for one person: a larger dormitory with a balcony and a view, and air-conditioned beds in 6-bed and 10-bed mixed dormitories.
The hostel has a terrace, a shared lounge and a games room, alongside activities such as walking and bike tours, hiking, movie nights and evening entertainment. The tour desk, luggage storage and laundry service are useful additions for island stays. Free WiFi is available in public areas, while parking is not available on site. An on-site restaurant serves local dishes, and the bar offers beverages and light snacks. Mae Haad’s ferry connections, beach and nearby shops put everyday island services close by, with Sairee Beach also close by.
The accommodation consists of three mixed-dormitory options, each offering a bunk bed for one person. The range includes a 40 m² dormitory with a balcony and a view, as well as air-conditioned beds in a 16 m² 6-bed dormitory and a 20 m² 10-bed dormitory. All three room types have a private bathroom among their features, while the smaller dormitories also have a fan.
The layouts suit solo travellers choosing a shared room rather than a private bedroom. The 6-bed option has the fewest beds, while the larger 10-bed room offers more sleeping places; the 40 m² option stands apart for its balcony and view. Safety deposit boxes and clothes racks are among the practical room features, with linen provided. Each booking is for one bunk bed, so the room’s stated size describes the dormitory rather than a private room.
At 40 m², this is the largest of the three dormitory options. A balcony and a view distinguish it from the air-conditioned beds in the 6-bed and 10-bed rooms. The room also has a seating area, a fan, a mosquito net and a safety deposit box, alongside its private bathroom.

Mae Haad is Koh Tao’s west-coast pier town, where ferries arrive and everyday services such as shops, restaurants and dive schools cluster near the waterfront. Loft Hostel Koh Tao is 150 m from Lomprayah Koh Tao Pier and 150 m from Mae Haad Beach. The nearby Welcome to Koh Tao Turtle Monument is 250 m away, while Rama V Shrine is 300 m from the hostel. The area is a practical place to start exploring on foot, with the ferry terminal and beach close to one another.
Koh Tao has no airport, so visitors arrive by boat at Mae Haad. The hostel is a short walk from the pier, making it straightforward to reach after landing; on-site parking is not available. Travellers flying to the region can use Samui International Airport, 63.4 km away, or Chumphon Airport, 85.5 km away, then continue by ferry. Connections to the island run from Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and the mainland at Chumphon, with crossings subject to cancellation in rough seas.
For a beach day, Sairee Beach is 750 m away, while Jansom Bay Beach is 1 km from the hostel. Sai Nuan Beach is 1.4 km away and Chalok Baan Kao Beach is 1.8 km away. Koh Tao is known for diving, and the Mae Haad and Sairee stretches have dive schools, restaurants and beach bars. Mae Haad and Sairee are linked by a flat coastal path that takes about 15 minutes to walk. Koh Nang Yuan, with its joined islets and sandbars, is a popular boat trip from the west coast. The west and south coasts are generally the calmer side from November to March.
Guests often praise the central setting near the pier, dive schools, restaurants and shops, as well as the friendly, helpful staff. Feedback is mixed on bunk comfort, with some reports of sagging mattresses and thin blankets; a few guests also describe bathroom facilities as dated.
