Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The Hipster is a no-frills place to stay if you are like us and just sleep there, leaving early in the morning and returning at night.
PROS: Near the airport. Quiet side street. Hotel staff were always friendly and helpful. Inexpensive taxi / tuk-tuk ride into the city. Comfortable small lobby area.
CONS: Not in the downtown area, so you just can't go out and walk around. Very no-frills rooms, just a typically hard Thai bed, wall mounted TV and small table on the porch area. Bathrooms could use an upgrade. Parking on the street can be a challenge.
All in all, I would return to the Hipster. It's more like a hostel than a hotel; the logo even has a backpacker on it. None of the flash of the big downtown hotels, but none of the crowds, traffic congestion and noise either.
