Overrated
The hostel is really clean and has a nice aesthetic but that’s about it. I think you’re paying more for the look than anything else. The restrooms are cleaned often throughout the day but there are no air fresheners... so at the end of the day/evening with the hot air and humidity the whole corridor starts to smell bad. Also, almost half of the over head showers weren’t working and the placement of hooks within the shower were close to the water so everything would get splashed on ... especially when you’re forced to use the hand held shower head. If you’re into doing your makeup, the light quality is really poor for that. It’s like doing your makeup at a club. The rooms have really nice blackout curtains and mood lighting. The mattress and pillow is okay. The safe is ridiculously small and at the foot of the bed/inside the curtain so kind of awkward. So bring an extra lock for your luggage/backpack. Also, the bedroom door opens inward which is unsafe. There are some pieces of paper hanging up advertising food tours and a music event but it’s really minimal. I imagined the hostel would be way more inclusive and community oriented than that. The staff doesn’t interact much with the guests, which was fine for me but I feel like (since it’s such a big place), if I brought an outsider into my room, no one would notice. The rooftop is just it. A rooftop with a bunch of platforms to sit on. But the location isn’t bad... pretty close to a lot and isn’t very touristy.

Great sleep, but if you close the curtains you have no air, the room smelled like humidity. Location wise was great, close to looots of things but not lots of restaurant close (to my knowledge just one next to it) Breakfast, not that varied but cant expect much, right? Clean, pretty good. Service, meh.

Great stay in Bangkok
Once Again Hostel was perfectly located in old town Bangkok, very close to Chinatown, Wat Arun Ratchawararam Temple and several other incredible monuments and palaces. However, it also felt very cozy and off the beaten path. I felt dropped into a food paradise and would definitely stay here again. The staff was awesome and helpful. The dorms were clean and felt private, safe, and secure.

Ok for a short stay
I was looking forward to my stay here, I heard about the hostel via word of mouth on my travels in Thailand and I was impressed by their website and image. Overall though I would say that personally (for me) I was disappointed. Where it excels is in social activities and the location is ok, but once you get a little used to Bangkok getting around is not so bad. I had previously stayed in other accommodation in the city with less expense and higher standards and facilities (eg included cooked breakfast, immaculate bathrooms). Extra charges here such as towel rental were a surprise to me. The staff were very nice, the vibe is good, the location fine. I missed a window/ natural light in the superior dorm and felt like some finishing touches were missing from the place.

Modern hotel with friendly staff. Great atmosphere
The staff was very friendly. I really enjoyed the daily trips they offered. They also treated us to dinner during my stay. The beds were spacious and the privacy curtains were greatly appreciated. I absolutely loved the interior design and all of the plants. Also the rooftop at nighttime was a great place to make friends. The atmosphere was awesome. I will be staying here again

Excellent Staff and location!!
PROS The staff is very resolutive and helpfull. The location is super close to temples, khao san road, and Thipsamai ( delicious Pad Thais) You need to give a deposit of 200baths per towel and 100baths per key. The breakfast is basic but for the price that you paid is very good. Beds are confortable and clean.

Very noisy party hostel. Not worth the money.
The lobby and the rooftop were the best things about this hostel. They were clean, spacious and welcoming but unfortunaly that's where It stopped. What we booked on hotels.com and the room we booked was not what we recieved and the staff said they hadn't yet updated it on hotels.com because they swapped the rooms around. (No that's our fault) They did try to fix the situation but the solution saw us moved to a new room right next to the staff room and not a solution at all as the staff like to stay awake intil 3am. Very noisy hostel so if you want any sleep I wouldn't recommend and the bathrooms were dirty the whole time we stayed. Breakfast was toast and cornflakes so nothing to fet excited about. Stayed here's as it's a fair way from Khoi SAN Road but still just as much a party hostel then if we stayed on the road itself.

Decent hostel with unique style
I have mixed feelings with this hostel. I really like how they designed the hostel,love it! The bed is comfy,bathroom is clean and nice. Late night like Friday night and Saturday night can be loud from other people getting drunk from the walk way. The location is good enough if you dont mind walking to places or taking a bus,tuk tuk or taxi to go anywhere else ( I prefer the hostels that are more convenient like close to BTS or MRT so I dont have to deal with the traffic and scamming taxi/tuk tuk drivers ). Over all its a great experience,I would recommend anyone stay here to see way of Thai life and surrounding attractions.

Poor facilties....
There are 4 shared shower and 3 was spoilt when I was there. The locker in each bed is not working well, is very old and alignment is off. need to try many times before it could work. The interior is much older and messy that the photos.. Toilet is extremely dirty, papers everywhere on the floor throughout the day. Other guests all making lots of noise throughout the night till 6am. Guy coming in to female dorm.... couldn't sleep the whole night. Staff are friendly and helpful. Not an ideal location, easiest transport to town is 9m walk to the boat. The whole city is terribly congested and taxi wouldn't take you if you are exploring the old city. The other option is to take motocycle taxi.

Convenient location, helpful staff, very good
The staff are very flexible and helpful, facilities are good, close to a lot of the temples such as Wat Pho, Wat Arun and the Grand Palace. I think the only thing it's not close is a train station. It's about a 40min walk away but it's cheap to get a motorbike taxi or tuk tuk. Awesome stay! Wifi was good too :). Not good enough to stream tv shows but good for everything else. Thanks!

One of the best!
This was one of the best hostels we have had during the last 7 months of travel. The beds were big and had a great privacy curtain and had lockers in the bed area. The hostel was new and very modern and had a great rooftop patio. To top it all off the staff were amazing! Some of the most helpful we have had. They answered any questions, loved suggesting places and even offered to keep our little day pack there when we couldn't mail it home in time. They are holding it for 1 month for us! Very lovely and we will definitely be coming back! HIGHLY recommend!

Friendly Owner, Helpful Staff, Modern Style Hostel
Stayed here for 2 nights while in Bangkok. The owner spent his time answering all of my questions and his English was very good. Staff was helpful calling a metered taxi for me upon departure. The spicy spaghetti with Thai sausage was great from their cafe. Curtains for privacy with each bunk, an outlet, and decent size lock box in bunk with key fit my small/medium sized backpack. Free breakfast was simple with cereal, milk, coffee, toast, jam, and watermelon and small bananas. This hostel was definitely the most modern/trendiest hostel I have ever stayed in. Short walk to 7-eleven.

Good, clean hostel
New hostel so very clean. Staff was great and really helpful. Replied to my emails before arriving and gave me an idea of how much to pay for a taxi or tuk tuk from train station to the hostel. Called tour company for me and helped sort out details for the tour. I booked a deluxe dorm room but the room didn't have a window so it was dark. Since I was out most of the day that was fine for sleeping and actually felt nice and cozy. Bed was very comfortable. Large bathroom with plenty of sinks, shower stalls and toilets. Unfortunately, by night time the women's bathroom got pretty messy so it could use a late sprucing up. About 15 minutes walk to Kaosan Road but there are many more interesting neighborhoods close by to explore. Hint, if going shopping at Siam Square or MBK Mall take the canal taxi. For 9 bhats it's much nicer than getting stuck in traffic in a taxi or tuk tuk. Breakfast is toast, jam, cookies and tea but they have other food and coffee you can buy. 7-11 is down the street along with plenty of restaurants. Hung out in the lounge and met some other travelers and did some fun things with them like going to a rooftop bar, eating Indian food and walking around Kaosan Road area.

外観や内装はオシャレなカフェ風で、若者向けな雰囲気です。客層も同年代が多いのかなと思いました。シャワーやトイレもキレイで、ドミトリーの寝室も清潔感があり、また泊まりたいなと思えるホステルでした。朝食付きなところもありがたいです。 泊まっていたのはほぼ欧米人の若い人で、アジア人は私と数人くらいだったと思います。なんとなく居づらい感じもありましたが、私がひとみしりしてるだけかもしれないです。笑 受付の方がとても親切で、タクシーを手配してほしいと頼んだら細かく行先や時間を聞いてくださり、スムーズに手配してくれました。
