As mentioned in the reviews, the room is larger than a double bed and is almost a private room. Best in the past. Super comfortable.

However, the Wi-Fi is weak even in the rooms on the lower floor, closest to the reception. Youtube etc.is impossible.
Even Google searches are stressful.
There were no reviews about poor Wi-Fi.

Air conditioner is available from 6: 00pm to 10: 00am.
It cannot be used during the hottest hours.

Luggage cannot be stored before check-in or after check-out.
Towels are also 20 baht.

There are many bathrooms, but
Some rooms have hot showers but some don't.
A little dirty.

The lady at the reception was intimidating and had a loud voice.

I hate not being able to use Wi-Fi in my room, so I changed accommodations. Although it's a nice room, it smells stingy and it's a waste.

Staff are unprofessional and rude. Do not talk properly and charge money for even keepig your luggage with them for sometime. Luggage safety is also at your own risk. They do not even give you proper guidance. You also have one key I.e if you put your phone on charge and go to use the washroom, your phone charging will stop. Worst experience in all hostels I stayed worldwide. Not recommended at all.

Rooms are good and comfy. AC time is 6pm to 10am. Toilets need to be repaired as some of the taps are broken. Out of 3 toilet, one of them was locked.

I stayed for a while before leaving, but the price was not burdensome and it was good to rest before leaving.
500 baht deposit for 330 baht.

A hostel where you can stay for a day inexpensively. It's better to have personal privacy than other domineries.

The Hostel is very unpersonalized, very hard to meet people here, staff not very friendly. Just a money making machine, but the bed is confortable, reasonably clean, toilets where not in good condition

Old hostel but kept well. Minimum service provided by the staff. Some walking distance from 2 big malls, BTS station and a park.

Everything is seriously degraded, the walls are damp and peeling, most of toilets are broken. Staffs are unfriendly with very confusing attitude. This is my worst experience with dorm in BKK

Worth the price. Next to 7-11.
Have big common area with outdoor & indoor seating.
But no towel provided

Okay so the 1 star is for the bed itself because its nice enough and felt pretty clean. However, once you leave the dorm, the rest of the common areas smell like sewage so horribly and every single bathroom has some kind of problem, whether its a broken sink, toilet, shower, no soap, no toiletpaper, etc. And they're all really really awfully dirty. The people in the dorm seemed to live there, as we stayed like 4 nights because I booked in advance (although we almost left early on many occasions but sucked it up), and they just hung around all the time.

The area its in is a little rowdy at night but you surprisingly cannot hear it from inside the room. Its right next to a 7/11 so thats also really nice. The reception was ok but not the friendliest or most accommodating.

Honestly, it has so much potential but its not being cared for or maintained at all so I unfortunately wouldn't stay again.

So many rules for everything! Fines for everything!

The beds are great. Double beds. Comfy and room to move about. But rules rules rules. Rules are OK but signs of rules everywhere and fines for everything. Bathrooms are gross. Not even allowed to heat up your drink in the microwave. Microwave is for heating up food only! Be careful-fine for that too!

If you are a person who likes cozy, clean, and quiet place, I will not recommed this hostel. I am pretty sure you will regret. The hostel staff are too much talking to follow strictly about their tons of rules and regulations. Sorry! But not sorry.

Always an easy spot to stay when in need. Pod style hostel with capsule bunks. A couple can also request a double sized capsule but I’m short so I fit pretty easily. Probably can’t be too intimate unless you’re a contortionist but hey, it’s Bangkok, do you boo boo!

Sehr schönes Hotel. Personal ist freundlich. Vor der Tür findet ihr alles was ihr braucht. Essen, bars, restaurants. Massage, 7/11. Preis Leistung Nähe gut. Auf dem Dach ist eine Terrasse, WiFi im ganzen Haus.

Been there a while ago, the rooms were very clean and the dorms were spotless. The only thing I did not like was the service. We traveled throughout Thailand and stayed at hostels but were always greeted with smiling staff except here.
However, it may be just a one off thing or may be they had a bad day. So cannot generalize.

Nice cheap and clean hostel with good facilities in a great location. Not suitable if you have large suitcases, no elevators, but adequate storage spaces for carryon luggage. You do have to rent towels. Staff can get finicky over the use of electricity and turning off lights etc.
Overall would recommend.
