Overall a solid hostel for the price, but it’s not social at all. If you want to stay in Bangkok with a lower budget this is a good place to stay at

Disliked: Cleanliness
ISanook used to be a premium stay in inner Bangkok. This is my 4th visit, and the cleanliness has really gone downhill. Its not really the staff's fault imo, as guests are leaving piles of cosmetics etc in the bathrooms. Many toothbrushes just sitting around, very unhygienic. Maybe there are people staying long-term.
This hostel is not near any good cafes or food sources and hard to find as it is in Alley..it was dirty in the showers and they were not cleaned of hair innthe drain or shower liquids resupplied. Toilet paper ran out in all 5 toilets..Women dorm cramped and construction going on so noisey all morning thru day.
The pictures of fun and meeting people at this hostel is not true. I would choose somewhere else. I left 1 day earlier
Pontos fortes:
Excelente atendimento por parte dos funcionários
Localização de fácil acesso para quem está de carro
Cama confortável
Observações:
O quarto, a recepção e a cozinha possuem ar-condicionado, mas os corredores e os banheiros são bastante quentes.
A internet é instável e cai com frequência.
Seria interessante melhorar a privacidade nos quartos: não há cortinas individuais entre os beliches, então, ao abrir a cortina de um, a luz acaba atrapalhando o outro hóspede.
Atenção ao reservar: verifique com cuidado no site para não confundir o hostel com o hotel. O bar e o restaurante estão localizados no hotel, e não no hostel.
très bien pour notre nuit de transit. Douche impeccable.

Disliked: Room comfort
Not recommendation.
Air condition, WiFi are good but room is so dark and small. One of male staff isn’t kind and some regular customer and hostel staff like friends. Looks like annoying for me.
I enjoyed my stay in isanook hostel very much! Bed is clean and good, with many plugs available(up to 4!) beside the bed, and comes with independent bed lights.
Kitchen
There is a washing machine and dryer at the 2nd floor with a fee, also a place to hang your clothes beside it.
Wifi speed is super fast, it expires every 3 days and you will need to get a new password if you're planning to use the wifi more.
Bathroom is great! All as in photos exactly. Clean and sparkling, just
dryer

Comfort
Very kind front desk ladies and cleaners. comfy bed, good lockers. good water pressure and clean bathrooms all the time. wish they dont have to charge for the towels. But overall stay was nice.
Everything was overall good in the hostel! Definitely one of the best hostels I have ever stayed. One thing to improve is for the staff in the reception to learn more about Bangkok, as we were asking some questions and answer was usually I don't know.
Väldigt rent och trevligt! Jättetrevlig och hjälpsam personal!
Litet minus för att där inte fanns större skåp i sovsalarna, så man kunde inte låsa in sin stora väska. Men ändå tillräckligt stort för värdesaker + lite annat. Annars hur bra som helst! Skulle absolut besöka igen!
