About Mays Hostel
Mays Hostel is a small, privately run hostel located on Sa Song Road in Hua Hin. It is managed by Chris and May, who have earned an excellent reputation for their warm hospitality. The hostel is remarkably new and offers bright, well-maintained rooms and bathrooms, which guests consistently describe as spotlessly clean. The atmosphere is more like a cozy home than a typical hostel, making it a comfortable base for both short trips and longer stays in the Hua Hin region.
Guests can expect a hostel with clean, comfortable beds, pleasant showers, and a central location from which to easily explore the city. What sets Mays Hostel apart is the personal dedication of the owners, who genuinely care about their guests and assist with practical matters – according to reviews, they even personally drive visitors to the train station when time is tight. The hostel is ideal for solo travelers and anyone who values personalized service over extensive amenities.

Simply a perfect experience at this hostel. I spent four nights there and was thrilled: - The accommodations are clean, new, and comfortable. The showers are also very pleasant and clean. The hostel is very quiet – perfect for undisturbed rest. Laundry facilities are free. - The location is ideal: just a one-minute walk from the night market, which offers a wide selection of restaurants and food stalls around the clock. Two 7-Eleven stores are directly opposite. - The hosts are incredibly kind. They speak fluent English, are helpful with everything, and make you feel right at home. There is free water daily and many other thoughtful touches. Since the hostel is brand new, there aren't many reviews yet. The best hostel in Hua Hin – book it now!
I was really worried about missing my train. When Chris and May found out, they immediately took my luggage and drove me to the station. It all happened so fast! Amazing, what a great team! Maybe that's one of the reasons they've been running this hostel as a couple for over twenty years. Thanks to their kindness, I finally made my train. Thank you so much for your help – you're such lovely people. The hostel itself is wonderful too. The location is great, and although it's small, it's very clean and cozy. Highly recommended!
I had a fantastic stay at May's Hostel in Hua Hin! The owners are incredibly friendly and I immediately felt at home. I was there for a week and honestly didn't want to leave. The hostel is super clean, comfortable, and very well-maintained. The location is perfect: right next to the night markets and just a short walk from the beach. Everything you need is within easy reach. I really have nothing to complain about and I'm so glad I chose this hostel. I'll definitely be back!

Tips for visiting hotels and resorts
Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.
After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.
A pool villa doesn't have to be expensive.
Villas with private pools in Krabi, Hua Hin, and Chiang Mai are available from around 2,500–4,000 THB per night – a fraction of the prices in Bali or the Maldives. Search specifically for "pool villa" to discover hidden gems.
Location is more important than the stars
A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
