    The steps of the stairs inside the hostel are not friendly, especially if you have to bring your luggage

    If you need to stay near phaya Thai train station, to go to the airport, this place is perfect because you leave the station by the stairs and in one minute you are in front of the entrance. The place is nice, the managers are nice, there is also a breakfast included. Facilities are simple but I'd you want more, pay more elsewhere

    Its truly feels like I'm at home. 6 nights here and I wont have 2nd thought of staying anywhere else in Bangkok. Perfect location near to public transport, friendly staff and quiet environment despite of being in middle of busy city area. Will stay here again next time I'm in Bangkok. Thank you :D

    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.

    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.

    Always feel like home. Can't count how many times I've been staying here. Strategic location, near to public transport, cozy & silent environment despite situated in middle of the city center. The staff are super friendly too. Thank you so much and see you in next trip :)

    -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

    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

    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.

    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 💕

    the cleanliness is not always there, especially the bathrooms and toilets. We stayed in mixed room. Not so many people follow the rules. they were even a couple making love and that is without a curtain. Some takes shoes upstairs which is not allowed. My blanket was taken by some of the renter without asking for it. 😔

    the staffs, they are very friendly and its location is the best.
