I booked but I chose the wrong day, it was a different day from my flight, but that's okay, it was my own fault, then I booked again, staying 2 days in a mixed female room was very good, even though it was a sharing room, it felt like a private room, the toilet was very clean, cool room, clean bed, close to rachatewi station, breakfast suits my taste, if I come alone again I will choose this accommodation..

I recommend staying here for solo travelers and also budget travelers. The location is very strategic, close to BTS Ratchathewi, if you want to go to Pratunam, Platinum Mall, Tofu Skincare, Central World, just walk, the price is cheap and worth it, the bedroom and toilet are clean, equipped with warm water and a hair dryer, there is shampoo and bath soap too , and includes breakfast. I will definitely come back here again! :)

Pros:1. Convenient location, within walking distance to BTS and Pratunam Market.2. Bright environment with decent overall cleanliness.3. Towels are provided, and there’s shower gel in the bathroom.4. Free breakfast (bread, eggs, ham, sausages, juice, milk, coffee).5. Luggage storage available both before check-in and after check-out.6. Staff speak English, and one staff member seems to speak Chinese as well.Cons:1. No elevator; the stairs are very narrow, making it inconvenient and dangerous to carry luggage up to four flights of stairs.2. Staff are insufficient; check-in and inquiries require waiting. If you need to ask something in your room, you have to go downstairs, which is quite troublesome.3. Capsule room key cards need to be inserted into the capsule to power it. If you leave without the card, there’s no power, and you can’t enter the room without it. This needs improvement.4. Don’t expect great soundproofing in a hostel. You might be disturbed by the noise of others opening their luggage or moving around.(Side note to guests: please use headphones if you’re listening to music loudly—no one wants to hear what you’re playing.)5. Some hairdryers are broken.6. No USB ports in the room.7. Air conditioning in the common areas isn’t adjusted, making it a bit stuffy.8. No drinking water provided (need to purchase separately).9. No hangers.

Good hostel around BTS Ratchathewi. Staff are super professional and cute, specially the cleaning team, who make this place one of the cleanest hostels i've ever stayed ! Besides that, they prepare a super tasty breakfast all mornings. They are the stars of this hostel, period.About the accommodations, i had the opportunity to stay in a single room, bunk-bed dorms and the capsule-room. All good with the single solo room/bunk beds, comfy and cosy.But if you go for the capsule option, i wish you luck, due to the high number of people in the room you have the highest probability to share the space with non-sense and disrespectful people that will screw with your sleep big-time. Also, the wifi signal inside the capsule-room (4th floor) is almost non-existent.

Such a nice hostel. All that I can say is the place is very strategic just a short walk to pratunam market, bts ratchathewi, airport link phaya thai, tofu, seven eleven, siam mall, etc. The breakfast was very good, staff are nice, and the lobby is good. Room was clean, comfy and also toilet too.The cons is there’s no lift and the stairs are so small, so if you get 4th floor room it’s need an effort to take your luggage to the upstairs. I’m not recommend this hostel for light sleeper, but if you’re okay with the noise it’s a very good hostel.
