1. location - phaya thai BTS station is just outside the corner maybe 1-2 minutes walk only; phaya thai is also the last destination of airport rail line. there are convenient stores nearby where you can buy food late at night and bring it at the hostel 2. breakfast - they offer bread that you can toast & they have spreads like butter & strawberry jam; they offer cereals, tea, coffee & milk 3. drinking water - you can drink clean water and refill your water bottles 24/7 for free 4. room - it’s spacious for 4 people, we can open all our luggages and there’s still space to walk. there was a small living area where we ate are snacks/dinner. i also liked the sockets provided were near our bed so we can charge our mobile phones while lying on the bed, there were separate lamps as well so one can read a book while others are sleeping. 5. receptionist - she greeted us upon arrival and always smiling to all the guests; she was accommodating, she allowed us to check in earlier than the normal check in time. 6. bath towels are provided 7. hair dryer is also provided

-no shelf & hangers for our clothes -stairs are steep or the steps are kinda small; be careful when going up & down -no elevator but good thing our room is just on the 2nd flr -you need to leave your shoes outside or hold your shoes going up to your room

I very much liked that there was a kitchen/dining area and in this were essential accessories such as the use of a toaster, fridge freezer etc, so that you could plan your own meals (useful if you are on a tight budget) and sit in a comfortable area to eat. The hostel's own breakfast provision was just right for me, as I like basic staples like toast, coffee and delicious chocolate biscuits. Thank you! Very warm welcome from both receptionists.

The overall cleanliness was very good, but one area which was a let down for me was the shower/lavatory rooms. These were very dirty and unhygienic. No matter what time of day I used these facilities, I was standing in pools of water which presumably others had also stood in before and after me and I had to navigate my way around this to try to get to the washbasin and lavatory. At the very least, hand soap should be provided at the washbasins to ensure levels of hygiene.

Near the train which we needed to get to the airport link early. Good for light travelers. Staff is accommodating. Room is good, got hot water, and plenty of power sockets to plug gadgets with.

Got transferred to another hotel that they also managed, was notified early which is good. Got transferred to a 4flr hostel with no elevator. Not good for heavy packers which I had brought a big heavy luggage (32kg). Though they offered to leave the luggage on the lobby which my friend chose but i chose to carry it upstairs to the 4th flr

What a lovely, much-needed cosy space after a long-haul 11-hr flight!! The location was amazing, very accessible – just 8 stops (about 40 minutes) away on the airport rail link, which is directly connected to the airport. The station is also a stop on the BTS so it's connected to many tourist spots. The hostel itself was very clean and the floors were sparkly and spotless, maintained because everyone is asked to leave their shoes at the door. The beds were comfortable, and unlike many other hostels, the single pillow was nice and firm, and the blanket freshly cleaned and cosy. Each bed had its own power socket, shelf, and reading light too. The bathrooms were very clean, almost like they were unused! They were also spacious – and the toilets and showers were in the same room (like a typical bathroom in a house), so we got more privacy for bathroom time. The provision for lockers in the bedrooms helped keep the room clutter-free and tidy, and also gave me peace of mind knowing my belongings were secure. Despite being in a central location, the hostel common areas and the room itself was quiet. I didn't get to try the free breakfast (I opted to buy food at nearby Pratunam Market), but the offering seemed pretty good all things considered. There was also free water to refill my bottle throughout the stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful, they explained things well at check in and could answer my questions about transportation and where to go. Check out was painless – just a key drop.

The bedroom and hallways were a bit dark. During the day it was fine, but at dusk and later on in the evening, I felt like I could use more light. Also, the top bunks were a bit harder to get up on since the ladder is quite straight and steep, and the rungs quite far apart. If you have mobility issues, I'd request a lower bunk.

The atmosphere was quiet, and everything was tidy. The shared bathrooms were kept quite clean. The kitchen/dining and living areas were spacious. They have a homely feel to it. Despite it being in the city center, it is situated inside an alley, which makes it a bit secluded. For the value, I am completely satisfied. The personal locker was big enough for a large suitcase and a large backpack.

It is an accommodation for backpackers. I don't recommend it to those traveling with large suitcases because they don't have elevators, so you would have to drag heavy suitcases up the stairs. However, the lockers have enough space; alternatively, you can ask the reception to store them downstairs.

I really don't get where the bad reviews are coming from! My stay was perfect! I chose to sleep in the women's dormitory. The environment was very clean, both in the rooms and in the common areas. The bed and sheets were clean and the blanket provided was very warm. The air conditioning was a little noisy, although not enough to disturb my sleep. They allowed me to leave my bags in the hall after checkout allowing me to visit the city for the whole day. The location is excellent for those who have to leave for the airport the next day and well served by buses and the subway. Ah, they offer free breakfast, nice touch! Hot water, cold water, bread, cereals and jam.. the bread didn't taste great, so better to just go for tea.

a little noisy air conditioning

Very cosy, nearby bts station and strategic location for shopping in pratunam area. Clean room, responsive staff. Staff is easy reachable by whatsapp. Eventhough early check in not allowed, the staff is kind enough to allow us to leave our stuff in the lobby while waiting for room check in. Overall very staisfied with the accomodation. Kudos to the team🥰

You need to pay by cash. Good that we have clear notification on this. However its still good though.

Good location, staff were very friendly and helpful. All communal areas were clean and cool. Decent space for eating. Right next to Phaya Thai skytrain which is well linked to the centre and Airport

Air con didn’t reach the double beds in private rooms but other than that the room was very cool.

Perfect location to jump on the first Metro to the Airport early in the morning. Comfortable and clean

Booking stated that checking is until 22:00. However, on the door they wrote 21:00 so noone was there to let me in at 21:30. This made it stressful for me. I asked some people on the street to call the number they also put on the door since I had no Thai Sim card. Then a girl showed up and let me in. She was really nice and helpful. But communicating checkin times must be improved!!!!

Excellent position, nice common area.

The private room and the shared toilet are not located on the same floor, not a lot of stairs but still, at night a bit uncomfortable. The private room is very nice, but it is located right over the common area, so if people there are talking you can hear everything. I went to bed very early because of an early flight next morning and it was not super quiet, though not noisy either.
