About AMA Hostel Bangkok

AMA Hostel Bangkok is a hostel on Soi Sapanhan, in the Chinatown area. Reviews mention shared dorms with curtains on the bunks, private rooms, a kitchen, washing machines and free coffee. A small courtyard serves as a smoking area. Guests also like the building's design.

It has a 4.5 Google rating from about 270 reviews (November 2026).

Two reviews say the rooms are not soundproof and that dorm power runs on the key card. Ask for a quiet room when you book, and bring a charger for use elsewhere. A 7-Eleven is across the street, according to one review.

    I can’t say enough about this hostel. This has been my third stay and it is always the same 💕 Very clean, attentive and polite English speaking staff. There is a little courtyard smoking area outside. Beautiful architecture. The shared rooms have always been quiet for me. Soft comfortable beds. Honestly for the price I can’t stay anywhere else when I am here. And all the action of Yarowat and Chinatown just a short walk away. 10/10 thank you AMA staff for maintaining this historic and beautiful place.

    I've been to Bangkok three times and this is my favorite stay so far. Location is fantastic, I wouldn't stay anywhere else in future visits. Beds are comfortable (hard, but good bedding) and the bathrooms are clean. It's also a beautiful hotel.

    Excellent hostel for the price and location. Very clean nice private rooms, and bunk beds have curtains for sone privacy. It has a kitchen, washing machines, showers, free coffee and everything that you need. It's in a great location in Bang Tao and has a 7-11 across the street.. Staff were very kind and helpful.. It's a really good place to stay ...

    The electricity in the dorm room is controlled by your key card. You have to be present in the room to charge your phone or tablet. So disappointing to have your phone plugged in all morning and to return and find it still discharged. The rooms are not sound proof. You can hear a lot of outside noise. The AC is not very cold and the wifi cuts in and out. There was also a funny smell in the room. Is it mold in your AC unit? Or the smell from the last guest’s sweat? I just watched housekeeping change the sheets in the recently vacated dorm bed. No disinfectant was used on any of the surfaces. It would also be nice if they provided access to drinking water.

    I’m a crazy architecture lover, especially unique timeless buildings or with a distinctive design. I love how AMA uses the combination of green, red, blue and black to create a unique modern look that blends with the classic Chinese architecture and furnitures. I love the building. I like the location. The people are super nice. I reserve a room for four nights and put a request for a quiet room. As a solo female retired traveler, I don’t know how they assign me next to a room with eight young men and next to the shower. The men talk loudly with the door open. They parade their awesome naked bodies right outside my room. The rooms are not insulated well. I could hear the utensils dropping, people talking, rooster crowing, birds singing and showers running. This is not my type of sanctuary. A good night of sleep would be nice.
