This hostel is what it is! It’s not a five star hotel, and doesn’t pretend to be. But if you want somewhere cheap to crash for a few nights, and don’t need luxury then this is a great option.
It’s in a nice neighbourhood, relatively quiet but with some pretty chic bars and restaurants, and very insta-friendly community spaces. Close to the BST station, so you can easily get around.
The staff are super friendly and helpful, and pretty relaxed about the hostel policies :)
The property itself has definitely seen better days (there was noisy building work going on during my stay) but it was generally clean and everything worked (air con, hot water in shower etc).
My room was tiny, the single bed pretty much took up all floor space. There's not much privacy into the rooms - gaps around the doors, curtains don’t fully close etc. - so consider it more like a semi-private dorm. It does mean you get to know your neighbours very quickly, which is good if you’re looking to socialise.
The bar was pretty fun to have a few beers in before going out. Dont be intimidated by all the super buff Thai guys hanging out there - they’re all masseuses waiting to get a booking from a guest (the ratio seems to be about five masseuses per guest, so no worries about nobody being available if you do want a massage!!).
Guests also have access to the gay spa on the upper floors, which is also open to the public and very popular with Thai guys. Worth checking out!
