    They turn the AC off from 11am-7pm. I've never seen this before in an hostel and it's annoying if you wanna relax a little bit in the afternoon. One time I was there from 4-7 and they didn't turn it on even when I asked and then I left at 7, no one was in the room and they turned it on... Didn't really make sense.

    The staff was very nice and the room big for 4 people.

    One of the best and most social hostels I've stayed in. I had an incredible stay! I made so many new friends here and the staff was lovely too. If you're looking to meet new people you definetly won't have any problems here. They have a really comfy common area to socialize, some nice activities and the beds are also very comfy. I made some great memories here and will definitely come back to this place again!

    Everything was totally fine. Our room had no window which was odd but fine, we were just sleeping there.

    The atmosphere was very chill, the staff was very friedly and helpful. The location is nice as well, you're near Kaosan Road, 30 min by foot away from the Great temple which was very nice. I would recommend.

    They don't serve food, but there's a couple of restaurants next door and a 7-eleven 1 mins walk so it was all good.

    Really good location. Away from the mayhem of Khaosan but still only a 10 mins walk so it's the best of both worlds. Really easy to meet people here, so it's great for a solo traveller.

    Few people did the activities so some wouldn’t run. Private room was fairly pricey (for having no window too), I’d get the female dorm next time.

    Great location down a quiet street. Nice outside seating area. Sociable, but did depend on the day. I’d stay here again!

    Female dorm is perfect - only bottom beds, only 4 beds, private toilet and hot shower outside (so a lot of privacy). The vibe in the hostel is great. A lot of nice people and a big chill-out area whith games etc.

    Not much really.

    Very nice hostel. We had a twin room, it was clean, well set up, there was a window, the bathroom was good, the beds ok. It was relatively quiet, walls are not very thick and you can hear when people talk in the hallway, but they was no loud noises late or early. Having the cafe downstairs is nice, you can have drinks and eat. The staff was nice and helpful. The hostel proposes activities and tours. The neighborhood is really good: it's 5 minutes from Khaosan road and touristic places, but it's in a more "authentic" area, more residential, less noise. And in a small street, so no car noises. Overall, it's friendly and you can have opportunities to meet people, and yet it's quiet, so very good deal.

    The community area just works. You come easily in contact with others and it's a very nice place. It got cleaned every day. All in all a great experience so close to Khaosan. Water was for free!

    The bed was stiff hard. There was a window but it gave out to a little alley so not much natural light. It was far from public transit and other areas around Bangkok. Graabs quickly started to add up.

    Location was close to Old Town, temples and Kaosan road. It was quiet at night. The communal area was also a nice feature. Made it easy to grab some food or a drink right on site. Staff was friendly.

    The internet was terrible in the private rooms, 1 night there was no WiFi all evening and the other nights was just enough to scroll social media and research things to do but it cut out incessantly. I tried in the social area and it was slightly better but not a good idea if you plan on working or relying on WiFi. My room was near some stairs so from about 9am you could hear people moving around, especially heavy luggage, and talking. There was a window but it looked into a cleaning bit so kept the windows and blinds closed which made the room smell quite musty (it wasn't damp or anything, just no airflow.

    Social hostel with something on most nights, always people chatting. Good size room, big bed and good shower. Great, really central location to shops, restaurants, walks along the river. Can book minivan to airport for 250baht, can leave luggage there during the day

    Stairs to the upper level may be problematic for anyone with large bags or mobility issues (note: there are rooms on the lower level). And the rooms near the reception and bar could be a bit noisy late into the night (ear plugs were enough to drown that out).

    I stayed here twice, at the beginning and end of my trip in Thailand. The private rooms had good bathrooms with hot water, comfy beds and were clean. The bar was social and offered good coffee and fair prices on drinks. The staff was fantastic, they were so helpful and made you feel very welcome. Location was okay, near Khao San Rd and with plenty of food options around (7-11 and great restaurants), but it was a little time-consuming to get to other parts of the city on public transport (but definitely doable).
