First of all, the price is ridiculously cheap.The personal space in the 10-person dormitory with suitcases feels comfortable and not a little narrow, and the air conditioner is very cool, so it's great to sleep with a blanket on top.I've never been unable to wash because the public shower room was full, and the same goes for the restroom.I tried walking to the top of the MRT, but it took about 8 minutes slowly so I couldn't say it was close.I walked down to the skyline or BTS, but the path was all shaded, so I walked.There are Starbucks massage shops right in front and a large convenience store just before entering the alley.I don't think there's any reason not to come next time.I felt it was comfortable enough to see a few long-term stays and about 3 couples using the dormitory.

The hotel provides very good service. The room was clean and very fragrant. The bathroom itself is usable, fully equipped and clean. Definitely worth more than the price.

I booked this hotel for my concert trip. But I forgot to check again before arriving. As soon as I arrived I was canceled (just 1 day before my arrival) by the hotel. Even though they refunded me, that's not the problem!The problem is that the hotel automatically canceled my room without any notification or message!It's just a canceled status on the app and no email at all?!?!? This was extremely terrible when when I went to Bangkok, all the rooms were almost sold out because of the concert, making it very difficult to find rooms.I was looking forward to this hotel because of its good location but in the end it disappointed me! I will never come back and advise everyone I know to never stay here!

Considering the price, it's just the best. It's close to the station too. The staff really cleans it regularly.Not having an elevator may be a bit of a drawback... However, the price and clean facilities more than make up for everything.

It's so clean that it doesn't look like an ordinary youth hostel. Every day, I can see the staff cleaning it very carefully. The young lady and Adizai at the counter are very enthusiastic and kind to help.

I was being informed that my booking by Agoda is being cancelled by the hostel when I arrived at the front desk with my extremely tired body today. Ridiculous ! If you like this happened to you, try booking this Hostel.One thing is the young girl at the front desk is very polite and helpful, I told her that wasn't her mistake.
