    The location is super convenient—just a short walk from Phaya Thai BTS, with easy access to the airport rail link. The hostel is tucked away on a quieter side of Phaya Thai, which we really appreciated. Our room had a private bathroom that was kept spotlessly clean. There’s also a simple breakfast available in the common area and a cozy lounging space on the ground floor.

    Door in the dormitory room made a lot of noise (a bit of oil with solve that). 1 of 2 sinks not working. Mattress extremely hard.

    It was a safe place, with clean beds in a great location convenient to catch public transport. Nice locker. Towel and blanket provided which was great.

    I can not think of anything... I do wonder why lights are left on all the time. The air conditioning could be turned down a bit.

    Great value for money. The staff are excellent. Facilities as advertised. Proximity to the Airport Rail line was my main reason for choosing this hostel. Easy access to the metro to visit various places.

    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!!!!

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

    Awesome location at BTS Phaya Thai, the airport train is right there too. Very convenient. Lovely staff🤩 7-11 is on the other side of the street. Very good for a quick in and out or for a longer stay. On a personal note, I love the mattress. My next stay is already in sight.

    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.

    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.

    A curtain would probably make the experience better to give us privacy and keep our lights low to avoid bothering other guests while we are on our bank beds. We had to use the blanket to cover the bed while sleeping.

    The place is easy to find and near the station. It is clean and well maintained. The staff are very accommodating

    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.

    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.
