as others have pointed out it's not exactly a very clean and hip hostel. but on nights when you couldn't find an empty bed anywhere this hostel is truly a saviour (yes it happened to me. precisely due to the bad reputation this hostel has plenty of empty beds even on the day itself) the shower's cleanliness was a bit...

It's 3am here and our first night staying here (unfortunately we have another night booked as well) and I can't sleep. The rooms have giant indoor opaque windows so the hallway and adjoining room light shine in brighter than the actual room lights. The. The ac is on and it's freezing - the paper thin sheet does little to help.... More

This hostel was average for it's facilities, not bad at all. It's very near to the centre of things, near to the BTS station for the sky train and easy to find. Me and my friend were on a 2 month trip of Asia and this was one of the first places we stayed at, but it ended up being... More

The YHA in Bangkok was probably the worst accommodation that we have stayed in on our travels of South East Asia. However the staff are most friendly and helpful. I would probably recommend paying a little bit more money and staying in a nicer place. The rooms were very small, and this place did not have an en-suite bathroom. Also,... More

I booked this YHA hostel expecting the same standard of the more modern YHA hostel on the Sukhumvit Road. It was disappointing: narrow stairs which really should have guardrails in places, cramped washing / shower area and arctic air-con made for a somewhat challenging stay.TWe had to chase up clean towels from reception as there were none in the room...

I cannot recommend staying at this hostel. There were some little animals in my bed that bit me all night and I was allergic to them. Also, the rooms are really small and air condition doesn't work. Showers are only cold. Staff was not really friendly. And if you're unlucky, you have to haul all your luggage upstairs to the... More

We booked before we arrived in Thailand as we had been using YHA in New Zealand. It appears NZ is far superior. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was adequate but the shower and toilet were awful. Cockroaches all over the place. We were supposed to stay 2 nights but found a lovely hotel for our second. Decided from... More

Staff very friendly and helpful. Air-co broke and I got an upgrade to an even a better room, Hostel is simple but clean and very good located. Just behind it you have a local place with Thai breakfast (50BHT) and a night market with some nice Thai restaurant. The BTS (metro station) is 3 minutes walking, 2 station from the... More

The couple that runs the hotel were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was small, we booked the budget double room. But the price was right and the location next to the BtS station was great. Breakfast was good and for us it wasn't too loud. The walls are thing, we did not have loud neighbors, but if they talk... More
