    The beds were like a rock. Did not sleep very well. Air conditioning only stays on between certain hours & then it becomes so humid. Some of the bathrooms were clean but not all.

    It was close to so many nice restaurants & the train stations. 7/11 right next doors with tourist sims so if you’re a traveller try & wait until you get to the accommodation. Staff were very helpful & friendly. I had 3 nasty mosquito bites & the woman at reception helped clean them & recommended an oil to stop the itching.

    Very hard bed that’s all.

    Everything was as it had been shown , lovely private , mostly quiet peaceful rooms. We had a good stay! The staff were kind and friendly. I Would reccomend, the only reason I couldn’t suggest a long stay is the beds are very hard.

    The bedrooms inside are clearly kept cleaner and seem more modern than the other areas including the bathrooms and toilets which are a bit worse for wear and need an upgrade. Most toilets have no tissue in them, most showers are a bit worn down and the shower heads need an upgrade. Could pay with card once on arrival and not again after which is inconvenient, making you withdraw from ATM any time you want to extend if you don’t have cash “card machine is broken”. It’s 2022, fix your card machine 😂. The place is just too hot! The air con is turned off in bedrooms from 10AM until 6PM! Why????? 😂 Guests don’t want to sweat in their beds when waking up. In addition, the air con in the common area is not turned on until 1PM! This is also turned off at 6PM! So you have a time period with no air con anywhere, just weak fans that blow warm air around. Stop skimping on the air con with guests who want to feel cool and relaxed not like a sweaty mess. Pleaseeee. It’s funny because the air con in the reception is on all the time for the staff, however, paying guests have to sweat upstairs. Staff seemed friendly and smiley which is good. This place is okay for a couple of nights but many things could be improved!

    Location is okay with a 7/11 right downstairs. Social area upstairs where you can chill and watch tv, work on your laptop or have a beer on the roof. Beds are a good size and fairly comfy.

    We found a used plaster in the bed and there's very little space to move about and organise yourself outside of the bed.

    The bed was spacious and had good lighting.

    The hostel is not quite clean, there is no hairdryer or mirror in the bathroom, and some trash is still leftover when I check-in. You can rent the towel for 20 THB not included in the room charge.

    Like the location next to 7-11 and in the center of good restaurants, 5 mins walk to BTS station. Very convenient for whoever looking forward to a short trip or business. Super worth of money spent as it's one of the cheapest around here.

    I arrived a little bit earlier and they asked to pay more 200baths to save the luggage until the check in time. They don’t give a towel you need to pay 20baths to get one. The facilities are poor, the pics look better then in reality

    1. The air-conditioning will be switched off in the morning and will not be turned on till 6pm, while the reception at the ground floor was cold and cozy. Also, the air conditioning is not very effective in the night. 2. When I complained that it wasn't hot and I was sweating, the guy coldly said, "what can I do about it?"

    It was in Sukhumvit.

    Two other guys and I were once chatting on the passage while taking on shoes then the manager appeared and shouted very offensively to get out of the way which was very unacceptable.

    The location is quite accessible and the price is pretty fair.
