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

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.

I arrived outside of the reception hours and they were so kind to leave they keys and instruction to go in. They have also received and kept my parcel safely that I have addressed to the hostel before I arrived. The location is very near to BTS/ARL Phaya Thai and bus stop. Not much restaurant choices but still okay to walk to Ratchathewi. Clean lounge and kitchen area. Love the painting on the wall. Kudos to the staff who is attentive and cater to all my questions. Will recommend to anyone coming to BKK.
There's no elevator and the stairs is quite steep but I guess it's the norm in the area coz this is like the 4th hostel I've stayed in with the similar stairs. There's also no privacy curtain on each bed which is quite a big issue for me. Wi-Fi is slow on the 3rd floor.

The best thing about In a Box is that it’s run by two competent and polite young women who are quiet and friendly and helpful. The place is very conveniently located near phaya thai station and you can easily get to know the train commute from this point. If you like a very quiet place far away from all noise then this is the place for you - guests don’t interact much with each other though and tend to keep to themselves; which is not a bad thing. Everyone seems to be in transit staying for a night or two. The beds are cozy and they are happy to provide extra blankets and pillows - and laundry is also pretty cheap i think. Breakfast is very simple (cornflakes w/cold milk + toast with butter and jam packets + coffee tea) and is the same every day. You can say this place is convenient, not cultural. Also, if you plan on partying a lot, this is not the place for you
On my last night i saw a big cockroach in the toilet - and I’m really glad it was my last night that i saw that ha ha ha

Wonderful location, exceptionally clean, smiling staff, free breakfast (basic) and constant run of coffee keeps one happy. Huge kitchen space with dine-in facilities, microwave to eat warm food if you bring from outside,. Lovely couch where you can relax and interact with other fellow travellers. Would love to stay again 💕
There's nothing except that the Aircon in our private room took a bit long to cool. But the service guy came in next morning to look into the matter and I hope the guests who checks in later won't face the issues we faced.

It was to much good experience of my life to stay in this hostel I have never thought that it'll be like this .The behaviour of receptionist was to much good with every traveler at every Time if some one needs help she always tries his best . I have to get some prints I go outside but I couldn't found any photocopy aur printing shop then I came to her & ask for print with in a minute she just print out my documents and deliver to me I ask her for money but he said no it's free for our customers... anyways whenever I'll came back to Thailand I'll stay there & also recommend other solo travellers to stay there. One more benefit that everyone want it's about 170m away from( BTS ).

Great location, literally just outside the airport train stations clean, quiet, lovely staff, breakfast isn’t amazing it’s pretty much just toast but it’s free and it’s something. I kept returning and cancelling hostels to come back here because it was my favourite place to stay in Bangkok
If I had to say anything it’s that you pay in cash but it’s not the end of the world there’s cash machines nearby it was just remembering to get cash out
