Best Koh Tao Cheap Hotels

DD Hut Koh Tao
3.0 star property
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (91)
"Loved the most the layout, design and location of the resort. The lighthouse design was so cute and like nothing we have stayed in before. There were only a few rooms on the property which made it feel secluded and peaceful. With a restaurant and infinity pool just 5 steps away from our rooms we couldn’t have asked for a better stay on koh Tao. Staff were so kind and helpful. "

Blue Tao Beach Hotel
3.0 star property
8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (42)
"Overall the hotel was very nice and in a great location with lots of bars and restaurants near by. The included hotel breakfast was very delicious. I’d recommended staying here for your time in Koh Tao!! The only confusion was upon check in we were told by the receptionist they would arrange a taxi to take us to the pier the next day at 9am as our ferry was at 9:30am and the taxi service would be complimentary. When checking out we found out no taxi was arranged and it was not complimentary...

The Dearly Koh Tao Hostel
2.0 star property
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (7)
"One of my favourite places I stayed while in Thailand for a month. Very clean and I loved my private room with the balcony. Great breakfast and the free beach shuttle was great. I did get woken up by nearby cockerels every morning but I didn't mind. The hostel didn't have a social vibe while I was there but I think that was more down to the people who were staying there at the time."
