Fine for 1 night, basic hostel, everything in good order, but the pods are very small. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. In the larger hostels you will find more company. Price decently, do it outside websites, saves 20% and can be done via WhatsApp.

We stayed here for 4 days during Bangkok trip. The room and toilet are small. The room has a weird smell, and the beds are very dusty. Due to the safety issue, we are unable to light up candles. The blanket looks like used many times and without blanket covers which is very disgusting. However, the owner is friendly and willing to arrange 1 room for us to stay together during our trip. They prepare everything you need Shampoo, Body Wash, Toothpaste, towels, Makeup removal, cotton, and a hair dryer. Overall is good at a reasonable price.

Very clean. Great location, can walk to many interesting sites and is close to a bus stop for traveling further around the city. There’s a spot for free coffee and tea. Definitely great value for money. Numerous cafes and coffee shops in the area. The hostel has its own coffee shop with good Thai tea. It is near famous restaurants such as the Michelin Star restaurant Jae Fai and Thipsamai, which is famous for excellent Pad Thai. You can walk to the Golden Mount very easily from here.The owner is lovely and gives great advice on things to do.
