Good location
Toilet is big for single occupy room. Location is near to Saphan Taksin BTS but busy road at traffic light. Walking distance about 3 to 5 minutes to BTS. Some part of toilet wall paint is fall out. Water heater is spoilt (not hot) when check in. Toiletries like shower gel, tooth brush only provided upon request. Really very budget type hotel.

Excellent hostel
Stayed in a suite with private toilet in January with my BF. This is one of the best hostel that I've stayed around saphan taksin area. The hostel is right beside the famous "ghost tower" (which is forbidden to enter if you are thinking of going...). The room is clean and spacious, but the downside is everyday we had to climb up/down 5 floors. However, the owner was very accommodating and letting us put our heavy shopping items on the ground floor so we didn't have to lug our shopping up! Definitely worth to stay, it's near the BTS and also a famous temple (but we didn't have time to go) and given the price, there's nothing much more you can ask for! I will definitely book my next stay this month again~ Also had to apologize as one of the delivery came in the middle of the night and apparently woke other guests up.

Worst I have seen in Thailand in 22 years
I checked out after 1 hour. The room was a travesty & grossly over priced - barely worth 500 baht. Given a worn out hand towel on check in that could not have been used as a bath towel. Mattress was a total disgrace - my dog would not have slept in it. There was a large crack theough the bottom of the wall you could see through.

Bad experience
A very terrible experience. No fridge, no tv, no pillow case, no bed sheet!!!!! Until I complain then they provide pillow case, bed sheet....

But their advertising they do have it.... I told him I want to checkout morning 7 am but nobody was there!!!! No refund my the key door money for me!!!! The bathroom doesn't have hanger to hang towel and clothes!!!!! No phone to call the counter. Other room complain the light bulb spoilt. I saw written in a paper.

Good hostel at a great price
Rooms are very clean and beds are relatively comfortable. Showers are spacious and clean, but the water could be hotter. It is lukewarm at best. Sai, the hostel owner is very kind and friendly if you have chance to chat with him. The other attendants who are sometimes at the front desk are not too welcoming and dont really speak English which makes it difficult if assistance is needed. This hostel is next to the Sathorn Unique building - a must-see for those adventurous urban explorers. Will book this hostel again the next time I visit Bangkok.

great location but poor service
My friend and I stayed here for 4 nights while travelling in Bangkok. My first impression of this hotel is that the photos on hotel.com are not real (like from design studio). Honestly, the room was so dusty and it wasn’t equipped with bath towel. The bathroom too wasn’t equipped with hanger. And later we had problems with the TV set and called down to the front desk for help. The girl in reception is unfriendly and unprofessional. The girl answered and told us probably we need to enter the password. And she promised that she will fix the problem when we come back to the hotel at night. At the same time, we did request for a bath towel from that girl. But then when we came back at night, we discovered that NOTHING has been done by that girl. It’s just an EMPTY PROMISE! we feel disappointed of the service that provided.

Good Location Lack of essential facilities
Convenient location, just next to BTS and Pier. It's just a very basic hostel, my room has just a bed, nothing else. They should have done proper decorations before rented it out. If you are just after somewhere to squeeze in, with the price you won't be disappointed.

Great service in NEW hostel
This hostel has only opened recently. I found it on only one of the hostel booking websites that I visit, and I'm very glad I made this choice. The rates are excellent and the beds are super comfortable and clean. I was very happy with the service - the staff know some English at least and are really friendly and helpful. The hostel is located far in Bangkok's South, but right next to Central Quay and the SKYTRAIN...most useful for getting into the other parts of the city by river, and getting to and from the airport. It is close to River City, maybe 20-25min walk along Charoen Krung. Unfortunately it was difficult to find when I first arrived, as the Soi was not listed (it is next to Soi Charoen Krung 51 and a Pizza Hut).

절대로 예약하지 않아야할곳
이곳은 48일 출장중 최악이었읍니다. 물론 숙박비가 저렴했지만, 시설이나 써비스에 비교하면 너무나도 비싸고비싼 비용지불이나는 결과가 나옵니다. 이곳은침실은 한국의 70년대 여인숙만도 못하다고 설명합니다. 찣어진 침구류, 도둑소굴같다고 밖에는 표현이안되는 내부인테리어와 어울리는 최악의 써비스... 비누도 없고요, 마실 물도없고요, 당연히 샴푸는 없겠지요. 이걸 보신다면 여길 예약하지 마셔요.1박에 100바트짜리 숙박이라면 모를까.

猫と遊べます
チャオプラヤ川のボート乗り場のすぐ近くにあります。川沿いの観光地にボートで行くにはとても便利です。建物の中には猫がたくさんいて、部屋まで遊びに来ることもありました。猫好きにはたまらないと思います。入口のすぐ外のコーヒー屋が安くておいしかったです。私は最上階の5階に泊まったのですが、階段を上がるにつれてだんだん熱気がこもっていました。部屋のクーラーを入れて効くまで、ちょっと暑さに耐えなければなりませんでした。あと何回かカードキーが使えないことがありましたが、フロントに言えばすぐ直してもらえます。それ以外は何の問題もなく、スタッフもゲストも猫もとてもフレンドリーでとてもくつろげました。

잠만 자기 적당한 곳
위치는 수상보트타기에도 좋고 메트로 타기에도 좋고 여행하기에 적합한 위치였으나 와이파이는 잘 안되고(유심산 걸로 이용하긴 했지만) 숙박하는 내내 청소도 이루어지지않았으며 방에 창문이나 외부 공기가 통하는 곳이 없어 공기가 답답하여 여행 후반부에는 머리가 아팠으며 방이라고 하기엔 그냥 빈 공간에 흰색 페인트만 칠해놓고 침대만 놓은.. 잠만 자기에도 살짝은 불편한 곳이었습니다. 그래도 무사히 여행을 마칠수 있어 나름 괜찮았다고 생각하지만 제가 해외에서 머문 모든 곳 중에서 제일 좋지않은 곳이었습니다.

Mielenkiintoista porukkaa hostelissa
Hostellin sijainti oli erinomainen ja luulen, että perushostel huone on ihan ok, mutta en suosittele valitsemaan perushotellihuonetta tästä paikasta. Muutama euro lisää ja samalta seudulta löytyy hotelli uima-altaalla ja aamiaisella. Toisaalta porukan yhteishenki oli ainutlaatuinen. Aina löytyi kaveri illalliselle. Pienen pienessä aulassa oli enemmän sykettä, kuin perushotellissa.

Типично бангкокский отель
Мы жили два дня и три ночи. Чисто, хороший лаконичный дизайн. У нас была довольно большая комната с ванной. Вид из окна на реку и улицу, виден поезд Skytrain и старинный храм. Из минусов: нет ни полок ни шкафа, вещи приходилось раскладывать на полу или полочке под телевизором.Очень не хватало хотя бы пластиковой этажерки. На улице довольно шумно, но все-равно спишь с кондиционером, так что ничего.И еще один странный минус: входная дверь- стеклянная. А в комнате напротив всю ночь горел свет, очень мешало. Но я думаю, что нам просто не повезло, на остальных этажах было темно. Отель маленький, всего 5 этажей по 2-3 номера на этаже.Наверх идти лень, но зато хороший обзор.

편리한 위치
후기 같은거 잘 안남기는데 오래 있지는 않았지만 남겨요~ 오전에 공항에서 스마트폰으로 예약하고 바로 찾아갔는데 사판탁신역에서 도보 2분이고 큰 길가에 있어서 일단 위치는 최고에요. 그 전에 카오산 호스텔은 직원, 시설이랑 어떻게 보면 위치상으로 좋긴 했지만 BTS 타기에는 많이 불편했거든요.. 사정상 오후에 체크인에서 당일 밤에 체크아웃을 하고 다시 체크인하러 와야 할 수도 있었는데 사정도 많이 봐주고 직원이 너무 친절했어요. 카드키로 되어있어서 보안도 괜찮고 얼마되지 않은거 같은데 깨끗하고 좋았습니다. 제가 갔을 때에는 옆 건물이 공사중이었는데 시끄럽다던지 그런건 없었어요. 근데 조금 어수선한 느낌은 들었습니다. 다음에 방콕에서 오면 또 여기서 지낼거에요 :) 정리 : 위치랑 직원 최고
