It feels like living in a tree house. The room is in a building-within-a-building layout. The environment is very natural and quiet. The breakfast provided is also very healthy. Most of the people living here are European and American. There are yoga classes every Friday at 5:00 pm. It’s about a 10-minute walk from BTS Ari.Only the bath towels have a strong musty smell, but everything else feels great!

Very nice hostel! It was calm but still felt very cozy. The yard is a really nice place to sit and read or to meet other people. Really loved the breakfast! It's clean, has good facilities. I really recommend going there.It's a bit far from the centre of Bangkok. So if you want to go see a temple or whatever, you have to travel a bit (not too much though). It's also very nice to not be in the busy centre of Bangkok the whole time :)

Such a nice place and very easy to reach via Ari Bts with just walking. The attendant are very careful about your needs and they will help you beyong their capacity. I am so happy to be a part of it and will visit again for sure. Only thing that i think is lacking near this place is vegetarian food which is not easily available so please be mindful. Thanks and have a lovely stay.

We came upon this hotel quite by accident and were so happy to find that we had found a treasure in Bangkok! This place doesn't exactly have the atmosphere of a hotel, but more of an international hostel that puts a lot of emphasis and attention on community and sustainability. We sleep in the rooms with the private bathroom and they are simply lovely (there is also the option of a dormitory). Each room has a gallery with a comfortable bed, a central space overlooking the beautiful courtyard and comfortable shower facilities. Everything is tastefully decorated and very clean! In addition, the hostel offers common areas for sitting, a delicious breakfast, free water, strong Wi-Fi and a washing machine. The staff is very very nice and speaks English! It was really fun to use them for recommendations. The atmosphere here is just great and how fun it is to have a place like this in the middle of a busy city like Bangkok. This is the only place I will sleep in Bangkok!Note for improvement - the double mattress in the room we slept in was really old and not very comfortable, it is recommended to replace it :)

Great chill hostel! The rooms are nice and air conditioned, very clean bathrooms and the breakfast was great :))) Location was a bit out of the way and not near Khoesan road but if you’re not interested in that then this is a great choice :)

This was my first hostel experience, and I've gotta say, it was absolutely amazing! From the moment I stepped foot into the hostel, I already felt welcomed! The staff were absolutely great. I lived in a 4 person mixed dorm, the place was well maintained and clean. Each bed is provided with a duvet and a pillow, with 2 power outlets and a reading lamp. There also is a little curtain for privacy. There are lockers available in the rooms to store your belongings (do bring your own lock though). You are also provided with a towel upon check-in.There were 2 shower cubicles and 2 toilet cubicles in the male toilet area. The soap and shampoo are provided. There is also a hairdryer available for use. The reception counter has free ear plugs available should you need them. They also sell items such as toothbrushes and insect repellent. There is also a washer and dryer available at the common area.The hostel has free yoga and muai Thai classes which you can sign up for. Free breakfast is available daily at the cafe up front. You're given platter of watermelons, dragon fruit, passion fruit, a slice of sourdough bread with butter and jam and a cup of yogurt. Coffee/ tea is available at the counter as well. There's also a bar that's open till 12am at the hostel. Free drinking water and ice are also available at the counter all day long.I'd recommend having some inscent repellent handy, as you're definitely gonna get some mosquito bites while you're there, as the place is located around loads of trees.There's loads are cool cafes and restaurants located nearby the hostel, it's a really cool neighborhood hood to be in. The closet BTS station would be Ari, which is about 5 stops away from the city center (about a 30 min travel time).Would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone that's gonna be in Bangkok, it's a great place to meet awesome people!
