tl;dr
Seen from above, the pool at Nolo Hub Pai is shaped like a phallus — an ‘eggplant’, if you prefer — with NOLO HUB PAI in tiles along its length. Possibly the only eggplant-shaped hostel pool in the world. You don’t have to be staying to swim in it: buy a drink at the bar and you’re welcome.

The phallus-shaped ‘eggplant’ pool and the garden
From the loungers it just looks like a pool: blue water, NOLO HUB PAI in the tiles, and the garden with its thatched shelters all around. From the air there’s no mistaking the shape, and the footage at the top of this page is the easiest way to see it.
Swimming if you’re not staying: hours, a drink at the bar, towels and showers
You don’t need a bed here to use the pool. Buy a drink at the bar and you’re welcome to swim, then stay for the loungers and the shade of the garden.
Bring your own towel. You can leave your valuables at reception, and there are showers in the bathrooms downstairs.
It’s a 10–15 minute walk from Walking Street, the same walk as to the night market.
On Saturdays, the market at Bodhi Tree Park is right in front of the hostel.
Staying with us? The pods, the bar and everything else are on The Hostel.
