Set in Lipa Noi, 2.4 km from Laem Din Beach, Baan Hinlad Home and Hostel offers accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge. Boasting a concierge service, this property also has a restaurant and a terrace. The hostel also provides free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. The place is peaceful and beautiful, the owner super kind and helpful! The area is quite local but has still beautiful beaches and waterfalls. There are also great local restaurants very close. The owner pick us up from the pier for the check in and check out which was a real plus. The free bicycle rental was also very practical to move around. I’d highly recommend to have a break from the touristy and agitated areas of the islands.
