Good location and good ratingsI made a reservation here for 3 days.(Currently, 4:25 a.m. on the day of check-outThe alarm in the next room has been ringing for over 10 minutes.Actually, the person next door did not wake up, only I did.I'm staying in a private room.I can even hear the breathing of the person next door.I couldn't sleep for 2 out of 3 days because the room next door was noisy all morning...ㅠㅠOne day, a man and woman couple in their early 20sI played all night without sleepingI set an alarm for the next dayActually, I can't sleep because of a man who can't get up.I'm definitely not a sensitive person when I sleep...Agoda said it was clean and hygienic, but it was good.In reality, the cleaning condition is poor.Severe mold in air conditioner.In the photo, the private room doesn't appear to be this small, but in reality it's almost like a prison.

Actually a nice hostel, very good location. The absolute highlight is the roof terrace.But the crates in which you sleep are already borderline.Keeping a turtle in a small bowl doesn't seem very species-appropriate to me.

I stayed in a 6 person dorm and I was the only one in my room.The reality is much better than the Agoda photos!! However, the walls in the room are plywood, so you can hear all the noise from the hallway. There weren't many guests when I stayed, so it was okay.The bed, bedding, and towels were all clean.The stairs from the 2nd to the 3rd floor are very steep, so be careful if you are carrying a suitcase or have heavy luggage.I had a great night's stay at an affordable price! Recommended for Koreans staying in Maeklong

Value for moneyThe hostel offers a simple ambiance and basic amenities. Rooms, washrooms, and common areas are clean, with a perfect location near the railway market and local food street. The elderly owners warmly welcome guests with smiles, while their daughter provide me helpful suggestions for my bike trip. Simple breakfast includes toast, butter, jam, and hot beverages. The price is affordable. It seems to be the only hostel listed on Agoda for Maeklong, and the place looks better than depicted in the pictures on Agoda.

Take the train from Bangkok to Mahachai for 10 baht. Walk to the boat across to Tha Chalom for 3 or 4 baht, not sure. Take a tricycle to Ban Laem Station for 30 baht. Take the train to Mae Klong for 10 baht. From there, it's not far to walk to the hostel. 300 baht per night, sleeps 2 people. At Mae Klong, it feels like the weather is hotter than Bangkok. But the air conditioner in the room is very cold. I'll get a fever. The room looks cramped from the website. But really the bed is wide. The room is not soundproof. There are chargers for both beds. The stairs are not difficult to climb. The bed smells clean, the bathroom is clean.

Very good, very noble, lovely price, there is a private room as well. But the bathroom is shared. The owner lent me the kitchen and said it was great. Clean. 10 10 10. Very good location. Strong WiFi. There are cars that can park at the temple for free. In the morning, you can walk to buy things at the market. Walking is fine.

Very centrally located, just a 2-minute walk from the train market. The owner is super friendly, and the hostel is lovingly decorated. The rooftop terrace, in particular, is a dream, perfect for watching the hustle and bustle in the evening.Many thanks to the owner who drove us to the bus terminal and took care of the tickets.—————Very centrally located, just a 2 minute walk from the Train Market.

The rooms are economical and friendly. It's not like staying in a hotel, more like staying at a friend's or relative's house. Must be here.

Nice, little hostel and host. The daughter of the family can help you with everything, as she speaks quite good English.The rooms are tiny, tiny, but that’s ok for the time being there. Bathrooms are clean.You have to walk up two stairs to get to the rooms. Rooms have aircon, beds are ok for one or two nights (bunkbed, but one enough for two).Small breakfast in the morning and close to street vendors all around the Wat and train station. Close to the train market and near bus station for minivans and busses.And as I understood you can get bikes there for cycling in the city.In addition, you can store stuff I their fridge and they provide you plates and cutlery, if you’ll bring stuff from the vendors around.The daughter was so nice to give us a ride to the highway in order to get the minivan to Phetchaburi, as she was going nearby (no bus or minivan from bus station in town; other option: bus to Ratchaburi and Exit at Pak Tho and from there train to Phetchaburi).Overall, the hostel and the stay was great.Although I would personally not go again, as in the whole town it’s not possible to rent a scooter as - so the explanation of the daughter - foreigners mostly come for a daytrip and Thais have their own car. She used to have motorbikes, but due to COVID she stopped. Maybe she will do it again in future - hopefully - as this is the only reasonable way to move around for us, as we want to be independent from „taxi“ services. And I think most of the people staying in such an accommodation also want to travel independently.Nevertheless, everything in town you can reach by foot and the to the markets you can take songthaews or minivans - but still, exploring the greater surrounding is not possible. But this is not a failure of the hostel, as the demand is obviously still not so high to make it lucrative, so still 5 stars.

It's next to the market. It's very convenient to walk. The place was cleaner than expected. The steps are polished and shiny. The room is not as narrow as you think. In conclusion, the actual place looks much better than in the picture (booked from Agoda). Stayed in a private room with 2 beds.Grandma looks kind and smiles 😊Special: Nong Dukdik welcomes guests very well.

Great place if you know what you are paying for. Tiny, tiny (I mean tiny) rooms with thin walls, but when it is so cheap that's what I expected and it was definitely worth it considering there was air conditioning, the rooftop, fridge access, and proximity to a terrific market (one that frankly is much better, cheaper, and more authentic than any of the floating markets). White bread and jam packets is hardly a breakfast but it's still a great place for a night or two.
