Hostel frequented by many travelers for whom the staff organizes events every evening.

The rooms are air-conditioned during a time period ending at 11 a.m. However, fans will continue to run. Intimacy is not great. Only a curtain while the head and feet are in plain sight. Not to mention the upper beds which do not have curtains.

Only payment in cash which is annoying when backpacking. We also regret the increased price of girls' dormitories

Drinks in the bar was an absolutte disaster. Totally clueless, making syrawberry daiquiri without ice in a shot glass etc.

I didn't like the hostel because of one person of the staff.
One night there was a super drunk guy in my room, who felt on my bed on me while i was sleeping, breaking the curtain and also scaring me so much. This guy already before was super annoying. He tried to enter a bed of another guy, and he was splitting everywhere.
I went downstairs in the middle of the night, i told what happened and i asked the staff to keep this guy somewhere else but my room.
This one guy of the staff told me that it was not his responsibility and that I booked a dorm and not a private room, so i couldn't complain.
I was shocked because of his answer and i told him that the solution for me was to call the police right in that moment.
He bagged me not to do so.

In the mean time, i got a support of a guy who was sleeping in my room, who was annoyed by the drunk man before too.
The person from the staff kept repeating that the drunk man was not his responsibility and that thr only thing he could do was to move me to another room. But what about the other 9 people sleeping in my samme room? !? ! He would have moved onee by one everybody if they complained, maybe leaving the ddunk man alone in a 10 bed dormitory? BAH.

AFTER ONE HOUR OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS, he finally accepted to take care of te drunk guy.

Anyway, i felt very unsafe and not respected in that hostel.

Rooms are good but they can smell bad because there is no ventilation system.
Bathrooms are clean.
The location is very good.

The hostel is nice and clean, the common area is cosy and the staff organizes social events almost every evening.

Love this hostel! Nice and clean facilities, great public area to hang out and relax and many organized activities so it’s easy to connect with others! Also beautifully located, 5 min foot walk to Kao San road but in a quiet neighborhood at the same time with great places to eat just meters away. Staff is very welcoming and helpful!

6 years ago I was backpacking with my best mate. On our first night staying at this hostel I met a young British lady, Mollie. The hostel hosted a night out and Mollie and I spent most of that night together.

A few days ago, Mollie and I got married.

Back Home Backpackers will always hold a special place place in our hearts as the place we first met.

This hostel is solid if you’re looking for a simple accommodation which I know most hostels are. I had hoped for a bit more pizazz since I booked a private room, but it was really simple (shower head and toilet right on top of each other kinda thing). Taking stairs up to the third floor in the unforgiving heat of Bangkok wasn't easy but the staff helped me with my luggage upon my request and were kind about it. The AC remote was not user friendly and seemed to not work properly. Room was clean and location was good.

The hostel is nice and clean, the common area is cosy and the staff organizes social events almost every evening. The area around is full of hostels and restaurants/bars to serve tourists, so prices can be higher for not so authentic food. We went for one of the recommended tours (train market and floating market) which we would not recommend as it’s expensive and the places are overcrowded with tourists.

Good hostel on a nice Bangkok location. The staff was super nice. The private bedroom could be a bit bigger, but it was nice anyways.

Honestly I thought as far as hostels go this place was great. Not the most modern spot but the staff are all really nice and host nightly events to get people to socialize. It's on a little quiet side street away from the craziness of Khao San but still a close walk. Also I had to check out a few days early and they refunded me! So nice:)

Good location but pretty expensive. Good facilities but the walls are as thin as paper. Not bad in general, they charge too much.

Really nice hostel for a solo travel, because it has a really social vibe and the staff is so kind. The location is perfectly because of the Supermarkt and restaurants and kohsan road is around.

Really enjoyed my stay here! Great social atmosphere and lots of fun games to play/ chill out spaces. My only feedback would be please do something about the beds. I was not the top bunk and everything someone just walked past the bunk I would rock like I was in an earthquake. They bed supports are so loose that someone just waking gentle past the bed to exit the room will wake you up. Recommend getting a bottom bunk that is away from the door.
