Lovely helpful staff, great place and affordability for young travellers.

There's was 6 of us in the 6 bed dorm at the top and we had our own garden chill area too.

Cute cats live at the property.

We came back to hang out for the day one time because we enjoyed the vibe there.

Thank you to the staff!

There is no elevator and so you must be comfortable with stairs

Very nice staff, comfortable beds (we had an AC room), amazing location! Favourite neighborhood in Bangkok!

Only negative aspect are the bathrooms- the upstairs shower and toilet are in the same cabin (there are two of them) and the toilet couldn't be used a lot of the time because there was shower water splashed all over it. There are two toilets on the first floor which don't have that problem.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Born Free Hostel during my visit to [insert location], and I can confidently say that it was one of the best hostel experiences I have ever had. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere that instantly made me feel at home.

One of the standout features of Born Free Hostel is its impeccable cleanliness. The common areas, dorm rooms, and bathrooms were spotless, creating a hygienic and comfortable environment. The hostel staff made it a priority to maintain cleanliness throughout the day, ensuring that everything was neat and tidy.

The staff at Born Free Hostel truly went above and beyond to make my stay memorable. They were incredibly friendly, approachable, and always ready to assist with any inquiries or recommendations. Whether it was suggesting local attractions, arranging transportation, or providing insider tips, they were knowledgeable and enthusiastic about making my experience the best it could be.

The communal spaces at Born Free Hostel were fantastic for meeting fellow travelers and forging new friendships. The common area was cozy, inviting, and thoughtfully designed, providing the perfect atmosphere to relax, socialize, and share stories. The hostel even organized regular events and activities, creating opportunities to connect with other guests and experience the local culture together.

As for the accommodations, the dorm rooms were spacious and comfortable, offering a good night's sleep after a day of exploration. The beds were cozy, and each guest had their own storage locker to keep their belongings secure. The attention to detail, such as individual reading lights and power outlets, showed that the hostel had truly considered the needs of its guests.

Location-wise, Born Free Hostel was situated in a convenient area, close to public transportation and within walking distance of popular attractions and amenities. It made it incredibly easy to explore the city and discover hidden gems without much hassle.

Last but not least, the affordability of Born Free Hostel was a pleasant surprise. Despite the exceptional quality of service and facilities, the rates were very reasonable, making it an excellent choice for budget-conscious travelers who still want to enjoy a comfortable and memorable stay.

A beautiful hostel in a great location, very friendly accommodating staff and a very relaxed vibe all around. Wasana was extremely helpful in assisting with the organisation of my trip and made it so easy. Would 100% recommend staying here!

Keeping in mind, that the hostel is only about 8€ a night, you Can't complain! Everything is clean, the dorm has a good size, the shower and Toilette are in one Cabin, two on each floor, but the bathroom itself is Not seperated from the hallway so Not so much privacy here. The ac room has a nice cool temperatur and the hostel is in a lovely neighboorhood:)

The hostel is very nice, located close to khao san road. There is a nice long area and the host is very nice. The reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that in the dormitory the AC makes a lot of noise.

What can I say about this hostel? It is great. Very social but at the same time quite when you need some rest time. People are keep coming back. I will definitely stay there again!

Khaosan road is not good for transportation.
This hostel has its own vibes but it needs more ventilation cause it smells weird.

Hostel was clean, prices are decent, location is a bit far from public transport and other attractions, but still okay.
My only issue was no curtain/ privacy in the dorms or double bed dorms. Double bed dorms have a see-through pull down wall on some beds, not all. My first ever hostel I’ve had this experience. Feels very uncomfortable.
No towels available to use or soap. Wifi is good.

Best hostel I've been so far. Near from everything but quiet for a great sleep. The personal is available and kind and the atmosphere with the guests are very friendly. I spent 5 nights there and I felt happy there.

Atmosphere is great, calm in a good way, staff is very polite. Two cats living there) Wasana, the manager, is such a nice host. She provided me with very helpful info about where to get stuff and where not to. After I got a little bit tourist scammed, I asked her a lot of things I wish I’d asked before. We had a nice conversation and she helped me plan my further trip to Changmai. She has a background in tourist management and knows what’s important to the guests, but not getting hard on you to sell stuff. Felt very greatful for the good energy she puts into this.
AC at night is fully on, so pick a scarf. As usual, bathrooms can get crowded at times. Beds are comfortable.

The friendliness and coziness of the place and the location absolutely outweighs what they lack in the quality of the dorms. Dorms are 3.5/5, but everything else makes up for it. I went through many of the Bangkok's districts and this is by far the friendliest one of them both for 'tourists' and 'travelers' with all the services available while still being not short of streets without single 'Caucasian' in sight. Bicycles provided free of charge.

The hostel is in a wonderful cosy neighbourhood of Bangkok. The rooms are cool and comfy, and there's good bathrooms and a relaxing space for before and after check-in/ checkout and for socialising with other travelers. The staff there are lovely and warm people, and they are enthusiastic about Thailand so have lots of tips for where to explore, and the cheapest ways to do it! Amazing food is a 2 minute walk away in any direction too. Highly recommend this place for a night or a longer stay:) there's also a couple of chilled out cats hanging around too

Had the most amazing stay at Born Free - the hostel owner Emma couldn’t have been kinder to us and helped us out through our disorganization! Lovely staff and really clean rooms. The air conditioning was a life saver. Definitely recommend.

Great hostel close to Khao San Road. It is located in a side road, so it is very quiet and pleasant to sleep. The hostel is super clean and very nicely decorated. The beds are comfortable and at night is a pleasant Themparatur to sleep in the AC room. The owners and staff are very friendly and helpful and always have tips for excursions. I would come here again and again.
