Stayed in the hostel the first two nights in Bangkok. The staff is super helpful and very friendly. Will recommend good spots to you and gives you handy Tipps for your stay in Thailand. Every day u can join the social stretching on the rooftop and other activities during the weeks.The room is air conditioned which is awesome. No backpacks in the room rule let’s u sleep well at any time.There are lockers outside of your room to keep ur backpack save.Bathroom clean! Keep shoes off in bathroom area. It smells a bit like rooms that never really dry but it’s bearable and still clean. They provide towels, shampoo, body wash, and paper towels.Would book again :)

The hostel is great, a very social place, convenient if you go alone. It is very clean and the beds are comfortable. The only thing is that there is an Arabic pub downstairs and at night the music resonates in the rooms

Absolutely wonderful, kind staff - always ready to help (special shoutout to Jin, Shelly and Harry!). The energy in the place is awesome - you have the option to socialize & make friends or there’s plenty of space to chill by yourself if you need some introvert time. Facilities are always clean. They have free yoga every day and activities planned. Great location. Super comfy beds with chargers, personal lights and a little AC fan for each bed as well! Part of the wall of the capsule folds out to become a desk. Super safe as you have to use a bracelet with a chip to get in the rooms and your locker. No dedicated co working area but I managed fine in the quiet communal area. Clean towels always available. Free water. Perfect temperature inside. I could go on…. I loved my time at this hostel 😊

I loved this hostel, if you’re looking for a comfortable place to stay in Bangkok, the social capsule is perfect. The rooms are clean and air conditioned and the vibe is really chilled and easygoing. The rooftop is a nice place to meet people and play games, but theres also free daily yoga classes - so there’s no pressure to party if thats not your thing. The hostel is round the corner from Koh San Rd and 5 minute walk to the port if you want to get the tourist boat to other areas. Lastly, the hostel has great links to transport companies and you can book a night bus to most southern islands at the front desk.

I liked the location, the staff is very friendly and helpful. Beds are comfy and bathrooms are clean. They have a "no backpacks in the room policy" to make space in the room which works but also kind of impractical since you will have to spread your stuff across the common areas. But all in all a solid stay.
