A very good youth hostel. I stayed in a triple room with bunk beds, but they didn't affect each other. Breakfast was delicious. The transportation is convenient, with 711 nearby and the light rail just a few minutes away.

Take the airport express to the last stop. You can get there within five minutes of walking. It's in the alley (turn right and then left)The room is clean and can be equipped with a combination lock. The sleeping area has designed cabinets to store things and lock them, as well as lights and hooks. The design is very good;There are many Chinese people. If you want to make Chinese friends or exchange information, you can stay here; breakfast is included (fruit toast and egg dishes)Hostel people are very nice

Definitely will come again !!! Coning from ðēðū. The staff is super nice when we encounter some problem they handled it very well. For muslims I tell you this is one of the best choices to stay because the place is near with Halal street food plus the breakfast provided also halal. The cleanliness is top tier ðŊ and the thing I like the most regarding this place is near with everything !! We went to siam by walking only and its about 1km. They have 2 nearest bts skytrain station which is Phaya Thai and Ratchadewi which is only 400-500m which you can go there by walking as mentioned before. You also can get a taxi and there are so many taxis on that area. They provide laundry too. They also have one day trip for any tourist for those who is interested. And don't worry for the shared bathroom because it was so clean and it's located outside the room with huge mirror but of course if there's someone in the toilet we need to wait first. Overall our trip to bangkok is tiptop !!!! Thank you for giving us the best services ððž

Give it your full... The owner is cute and kind. I recommend it.It might be a little difficult for me. On that day I had to take 1 customer to the bus. Walk out and get in the car. But you can definitely forgive.If there is a chance to go back again I like the cuteness of the hostel owner.... Thank you.

Room: stayed there in a six-persons dorm room. The room is clean and quiet (sometimes a little noise from outside the hostel especially after 7 or 8 am, however, it still okay if you are not gonna sleep till that time and it usually quiet most of the time)Service: Service is good, helpful reception.Location: Location is good as it is in downtown area, 10-15 mins walk to two night markets and mall such as CentralwOrld, Big C, Market Bangkok, etc..Other,Each storey has 2 bathrooms and 2 washrooms. It well clean most of the time, however, during my stay, experience some guests are not flushing the water as much it necessary, and it is a bit disgusting to see it..

I've stayed here at least 15 times since 2017 when it opened and I have absolutely zero complaints about the staff. From Gift to Ben to Zandi and Aom and Jae etc . Everyone has been extremely hospitable and friendly while maintaining a high level of professionalism. The breakfast menu changes daily and the staff cook it on the spot for you with rotating fruit and juice/coffee/tea . If you have a morning flight and can't eat breakfast, tell the receptionist on duty the night before and they will have a sandwich bag with a box of milk ready for you at check out to takeaway. Towels are provided and there is hot water in the shower and sanitizer too. Beds are very comfortable and there is a privacy curtain and ac in the dorm. A safety deposit locker too. There is a luggage lift if your bags are heavy and the staff frequently clean and sanitize the premises. Toilets are spotlessly clean and there is a hairdryer to use and clothes rack to hang your wet clothes at the balcony which is sheltered but well ventilated and your clothes will dry the next morning. Location is super, right by the airport express rail link station and phaya thai and ratchathewi sky train stations. Multiple 7-11's within a 5 minute walk too and massage places and street food. The only hostel I will stay at in Bangkok.

I rented a separate room in this hotel with its own bathroom. Hotstkl is a hostel. The vertical shower head was completely clogged. I no longer pay attention to this in Thailand, itâs useless, this is a disease of all hotels, not to mention hostels (but direct hands and 7 minutes of time revived it), and the hand shower worked perfectly, but I donât use it, I like the vertical one. The water in the sink is only cold, even rather heated by the heat, there is no hot water. It was clean, excellent air conditioning with a very quiet mode for the night, those who are sensitive to noise were really pleased with it. The staff is very friendly and is at the reception 24 hours. Regarding the noise, the sound is very good, but this is due to the thin doors to the rooms. The location is just great, close to the metro station leading to the airport and to all the huge shopping centers. Of course, I donât know what to call breakfast. The first day was a fried egg with two sausages, juice, water, coffee, tea, 2 pieces of toast with a piece of butter and dragon fruit. Second day, chopped egg, two pieces of toast with a piece of butter, watermelon or pineapple, juice, water, coffee, tea. For those who save a lot, this is a great option. Cleaned and changed towels every day. There is no safe/locker in the personal room.

I went to Thailand alone from 4/23 to 4/28 and accidentally left a mobile phone at the hotel. By the time I noticed it, I had already arrived at the airport and completed check-in. âĶ

The room is very small, so it would be a bit crowded for four people!There is a balcony where you can dry clothes, but there is no washing machine.I personally think each bed space is very comfortable.The room card must be inserted into the socket to provide power.Disadvantages - the space after leaving the room has no air conditioning and is extremely hot.The breakfast style changes every day, which is great!
