great staff, terrible noise

TERRIBLE NOISE. impossible to sleep properly I had never had such a noisy room in 20 years of travel The air conditioning makes the noise of an airplane, the road is super busy (noisy motorcycles, tuk tuks) super hard bedding Unattractive value for money. even if it means having such basic comfort, you might as well pay less elsewhere

It was absolutely brilliant to start and end my trip to Thailand

I made two stays there and if there is just one thing that I didn't really appreciate the first time in a single room, it was the cleanliness of the toilets which was average. BUT it's really to be demanding

For the managers, the presence of cockroaches in the hostel was a normal thing and in fact they demanded payment in full for the 5 nights booked, without offering us any accommodation!!!!

Nothing.. just a pity that the kitchen closes at 6:30 p.m. the dishes looked appetizing. A shampoo for the decorative cushions in the bedroom would be nice..

The beds are extremely hard, especially in the private rooms. Even for Asian standards. Lying on the mattresses literally hurt our bodies.

The bathroom has a bad smell from the drain, so buy a silicone drain cover to seal it to prevent the smell

Nice stay in Bangkok

Unfortunately, the hostel has very poor soundproofing, which means that we could hear our neighbors chatting until late at night and hear, unfortunately, a large and busy street. We still slept very well. However, this can be a problem for sensitive people.

In order for the light to work, the card must be inserted into the bed. An inconvenience if you first have to climb across the room into bed in the dark.

Everything is fine. For the price we would probably do it again.

The bathroom could be refurbished. First of all, wastewater can have its own sewage connection rather than drain into a shower. There was mold in several places in the bathroom. But for the local conditions, this is probably quite normal or standard. It was still cleaned or cleaned every day.

Although the rooms have lockers, the place where they let us leave our luggage after checking out, on the contrary, seemed a bit unsafe because it was open and accessible to everyone.

Our room was right next to a somewhat outdated elevator which woke us up a bit rudely at one time or another. However, it is not used very often.

Rooms facing the alley or the street are not soundproofed and the windows are not tight. Very loud. The rooms at the back of the building are pleasantly quiet. So please check when booking.

Great hostel, well furnished, in a very good location and competitively priced.

The breakfast is a bit poor, you can choose between 4 menus. There was no TV (but there is a "common" room in which we also did, although we did not use it, but always saw it empty) ... but the main drawback is the duvet: I understand that there is air conditioning, but how to use duvet in Bangkok when it's 25 degrees outside at night?

It's okay for the price

There are not many options and quantities for breakfast, but you can drink unlimited coffee. In addition, the elevator is broken. If you live on the fourth floor, the staff will not take the initiative to help you with your luggage. The place where you check in is not the same place as where you live. There are no slippers in the room, only disposable cups are provided, and it is not easy to dry clothes without hangers

There is no worse experience for my wife. What would it be like to let the parents of the hotel owner experience it?

The facilities in the room are really bad. The shower water is small and there is no hot water. I was the only one who took a shower on the first day (because I was already wet), and I was so cold that I couldn’t take a shower. Imagine How does it feel to not be able to take a shower on such a hot day? Moreover, there is no hot water in the basin, and there is no plug, which is really speechless.

Very noisy around, poor sound insulation

The hot water is hot and cold, the bed is easy to make noise, and the sound insulation is poor. You can hear talking up and down, left and right, and it is even more noisy when you are next to the road. The toilet is relatively humid, there is no space to dry clothes in the room, and the room is sloped. You can live better at this price, couples don't need to live here. It may be more suitable for a youth hostel.

Not bad

Personally, I was in a hostel and it was worse than a refrigerator... it was so unbearable that the first night I slept on the couch in the hallway! The next day, I was able to take the remote to turn off the air conditioner, but when there are several of us, we don't necessarily decide.

Right in the heart of Bangkok in a very warm establishment that I highly recommend!

A kettle in the rooms or in the common room is welcome.
