MediLeaf Hostel – Apartment in Haad Rin, Koh Phangan

Description

MediLeaf Hostel is an apartment in Haad Rin, Koh Phangan, 9.6 km from Thong Sala and close to Haad Rin Nok Beach. The ground-floor accommodation includes a one-bedroom apartment and air-conditioned twin or double/twin rooms. Private bathrooms are available in most room types, while the Standard Double or Twin Room uses a shared bathroom. The apartment has a refrigerator, kitchenware and an electric kettle; room facilities include showers, towels, hairdryers and safety deposit boxes. Free WiFi is available, and free public parking can be found nearby.

Haad Rin suits travellers who want beach access alongside busy evening entertainment. Guests mention nearby convenience stores, bars and party venues, and praise tidy rooms and bathrooms with daily housekeeping. The main trade-off is noise: bass and music from nearby clubs can carry indoors, while the surrounding streets can be lively. Room sizes and bed arrangements vary, from a private apartment for up to three people to sea-view rooms and a simpler shared-bathroom option. A refundable cash damage deposit is required on arrival and returned after a check-out inspection.

Location

Hotels in Haad Rin

Haad Rin occupies Koh Phangan’s southern tip, where the beach strip, village services and late-night venues sit close together. The village is 9.6 km from Thong Sala, the island’s port town. The Full Moon Party site is 150 m from MediLeaf Hostel, while Ban Haad Rin and Haad Rin Nok are each 200 m away. Haad Rin Nok is the monthly Full Moon Party beach, and guests also mention nearby convenience stores, bars and party venues. Guest feedback describes music and crowds after dark, so this is a lively rather than quiet place to stay.

Koh Phangan has no airport, and most visitors arrive by boat at Thong Sala. From Koh Samui, the Haad Rin Queen sails directly from Bangrak to Haad Rin; its ferry terminal is 450 m from MediLeaf Hostel. Shared songthaews connect Haad Rin with Thong Sala, while the hill road into the village is steep, making a local taxi or songthaew more manageable with luggage than a scooter. Free public parking is available nearby without a reservation. Samui International Airport is across the water, so arrival involves a ferry connection rather than a direct road transfer.

Beach options include Leela Beach, 350 m away, and Haad Seekantang at 500 m; Haad Rin Viewpoint is 600 m from the apartment. Haad Yuan, 2 km away, has no road connection, and taxi-boats leave from Haad Rin. You can spend the day between the local beaches, walk up to the viewpoint or take a boat to Haad Yuan. The Full Moon Party is held monthly on Haad Rin Nok, with busier streets around event nights.
