Location is the main reason to book Lucky Hostel. It sits in Haad Rin, the part of Koh Phangan most associated with the Full Moon Party, so you are staying where the nightlife action is rather than commuting in from elsewhere on the island. The party area is around 0.6 km away, which is roughly an 8-minute walk or a very short taxi ride. That matters on big party nights, when roads get busy and late-night transport can be harder to sort out. If convenience is your priority, this setup makes practical sense.

This is a 2-star hostel, so go in expecting a simple, budget-focused place rather than polished facilities or a resort feel. The current rating is 7.6/10 from 17 reviews, which points to a decent but limited sample rather than a strong consensus. Haad Rin is one of Koh Phangan’s busiest and most commercial nightlife areas, especially around Full Moon dates, so noise and crowds are realistic trade-offs. Lucky Hostel makes most sense for backpackers, first-time Full Moon Party visitors, and groups of friends who care more about price and location than peace, privacy, or downtime.
