Absolutely loved my stay at Jam hostelThe staff are so lovely, the guests are really friendly, location is perfect for old town explorationThere’s activities happening every day, we even had a meditation class on the roof, as well as a delicious communal dinnerJust really recommended all around for me, would definitely come backI really liked having a private bathroom in the shared room, but the shower design made water spill everywhere on the floor etc, so that was a bit uncomfortable but not a deal breaker :)

I had a great stay at this hostel in Bangkok. The location is excellent, with a 7/11 conveniently right nearby and the party district just a 10-minute walk away. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the rooms are clean. However, the walls are quite thin, so it can be a bit noisy at times. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would recommend it for anyone looking for a central and lively place to stay.

I stayed here for 4 nights at a private room. Clean hostel with nice breakfast. I loved staying here, beside Khao san road but not bang on the chaos. Little walk and you reach the river front. Staffs are helpful. Would love to stay here again.

Hostel with great service and rooms all for pretty afforsable prices. There are no train or metro stations nearby so you'll have to take a bus or use a ride sharing app to get here.
