There were definitely some things I liked about this hotel. The place is super aesthetically pleasing, with a great design and vibe that naturally gets people talking. It honestly felt like staying at a friend’s home, which I really enjoyed. The room was spacious and quiet, perfect for unwinding. I also loved the lighting—it was set up in a way that made everything feel warm and cozy. The blanket was another standout for me; the fabric felt so smooth and high-quality, like something you’d expect from a nicer hotel. On top of that, the owners were super caring and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Even though there were some downsides, the overall vibe of the place made it feel special.

First, the door lock system was frustrating; the pick-lock mechanism was time-consuming and inconvenient to use. It felt outdated and unnecessarily complicated. Second, the cleanliness of the room was lacking. I noticed dust on the bed, which made it feel unhygienic and poorly maintained. The worst issue, however, was the exposed water pipes from another room visible on the ceiling. Not only was this an eyesore, but I also had to endure the unpleasant sound of water flushing whenever someone used the toilet. Lastly, the room had a humid atmosphere, which made it uncomfortable to stay in for extended periods.

It was clean and modern. Easy check in and out. 7-Eleven nearby. Lovely rooftop views and places for sunbathing. Towel and water provided.

It is in the middle of a residential area, there was absolutely nobody around so not great for a solo backpacker. Not able to get any food or drinks at the accommodation during the days of my stay, not sure if it’s a weekend only thing? The bunk beds are SO wobbly I could move the whole thing with just one finger. No lock on the dorm door and was not given a key. One lockable drawer per person for valuables.

The rooms were very spacious, the rooftop seating area was really cute and the views were insane. I liked the cafe downstairs and availability of pizza/pasta/grill.

The beds were very hard, uncomfortable and extremely squeaky. The bathroom window was open which we couldn’t close which allowed lots of mosquitos to enter. The room has a padlock to lock the door when you leave which I felt quite spectacle about. The location is quite far out from the centre it takes about 30/40 mins by taxi (dependent on traffic) which was really inconvenient.

Very stylish hostel with super comfortable beds! Rooms a big and airy with strong AC. Everything is very clean and well decorated. I'm staying at the hostel after a small surgery to recover so I'm spending lots and lots of time here. It's very quiet even if there are gatherings on the rooftop they don't go to late and not loud at all. Common spaces on the roof and the floors are comfy. The view from the rooftop is amazing....great to sip your morning Cappuccino and watch the sun come up! Location is in a very local and yet hipster like neighborhood. Very interesting combination of modern and traditional, it's clean and quiet. Loads of cute cafes and restaurants within walking distance (max 20mins which it is a very pleasant wall). There are some local eateries close by too. Two 7 eleven are close by. WiFi is very strong and reliable throughout the whole building. The self -check in process was super easy...just make sure to let them know ahead what time you're arriving and to receive the details on check in which I missed to do, but absolutely my own fault. There is no front desk so make sure to get the check in information before. Great stay and looking forward to come back!:)

Very Artsy place for very low price. Interior and common areas are very nicely designed. There is a Loft style, i like it. Very nice rooftop with nice view over the skyline. Nice and safe neighborhood.Very friendly staff. Really good value for the price.

There is coffee downstairs which is good but not real breakfast place. or any place within 5 min walk for breakfast.

The most stylish hotel I’ve ever stayed at!! Love the retro fan and camera in the living room. Room is big and has lots of natural light, comfy bed, 2 AC and balcony. Also has a strong WIFI. The rooftop is so cozy and has nice city view. I enjoyed working there every late afternoons. The owner is very helpful. I requested for a small table for my laptop. She ended up bringing me a desk and an office chair (thank you!)

Location is in the middle of residential area, with small alleys, so bus and BTS is 20mins walking. Would be nice if there’s a small fridge in the room and chairs for the balcony

Amazing room! Super spacious, stylish, clean, and lovely rooftop. We were so surprised at how nice it was for the price - it felt like a real treat!

Maybe the location wasn’t the greatest as was on the outskirts of Bangkok but we did know this before we booked.

Very clean, friendly, excellent staff and owners. Very accommodating, helpful and couldn’t do enough. Really enjoyed the rooftop bar and restaurant. Very pleasant stay.

Slightly out the way to the public transport, but easy enough to get to.

Great location, great people. Well appointed. 100% recommended

Just a little noisy between 8pm and 2am with youngsters drinking and chatting on the roof bar, but it is a hostel, not a hotel. No marks deducted for this.

Staff, self checkin and cozy place are all top notch. They are super helpful and will accommodate any request as much as possible. Very near from Ari restaurant and bars.

Wish there were other toiletries such as grooming kits especially for longer stays. Wifi seems to be a little weak at the unit I stayed but it was fine everywhere else
