Reviews of Rimnim Hostel

Cleanness is wonderful Self check-in and check out is good Never met a Staff in person but they help with chatting app that's ok

A bit lonely

It’s always good to start with positives - 1) The owners are really friendly, I really enjoyed talking to them. 2) There are snacks and free goodies available for free. 3) Responses are quick when messaging. 4) Most amenities will be available, most things you need are readily there for you.

Whilst the owners were incredibly friendly, I think it’s important to talk about the negatives because I feel like they can improve and make the hostel better, if they wish. 1) The foul smell coming from the ground floor bathroom is a little overwhelming at times and smells like sewage. 2) My first night I paid 300 baht, this is actually a standard price for a more comfortable high end hostel stay, when I arrived to my room, I thought wow, this is nice. Until I received a message that my room was actually downstairs. My room was in fact incredibly small and narrow, the 4 bed shared dorm is more of a closet, you don’t have much space to move, the people staying there had their laundry hanging everywhere so that very limited space you have to move around, it’s taken up - it felt quite claustrophobic and perhaps even a fire hazard with no emergency exits. There is also the air con unit which is actually inside one of the beds because the space is so incredibly limited. 3) The shower, the shower isn’t actually in the building, it’s kind of connected to a room outside that’s been put together with covers to block the rain coming in but doesn’t work very well during rainy season, it’s very damp, wet and uncomfortable - it didn’t feel clean and was full of mosquitos. - something that would solve all of these issues - use the upstairs room that is reserved for “females only” instead. I was told that room is 100 baht extra (400 baht), but actually, 300 is a pretty standard price and what you would typically expect to pay for a room of that size / quality. It also has an en-suite bathroom that is clean, dry, smells good and is very well taken care of. There is space to move and for people to hang their laundry without making it feel claustrophobic. During my stay this room was not being used at all. I really think you should be putting guests in this room as a mixed dorm and reserve the downstairs room for the minority bookings which would probably be female only.
