The staff warm welcome makes this place more value to stay. Good location and easy to walk to local food market near Indian Temple.The simple rooftop but so chill.Even the room is too small for me but good mattress. The toilet is ok,clean,has tissue paper, dryer. will come back here for sure!

Easy to find since its location is on the main street. Walking possible to Metro station (1,5km); BTS station(1km). Car parking right beside the hostel. Self checking, check out if arrive later than 8pm. Have the coffee shop on ground. Room cleaning per 3 days. Yet service is super 5 star. I forgot jackets at another hotel, the friendly man staff supported me to call them, to asking them for delivery. Really appreciate him ❤️

I really enjoyed my stay here! Clean rooms, nice lighting, easy and clear instructions, has a floor guide plan, + convenient key system. Rooms and beds very comfy and cosy, have different levels of light, so you can choose whether you want bright light, or more subdued night lights. Air conditioning works well. Plus a great bonus is the cafe they have attached with great good priced coffee. Host and staff are friendly and helpful with requests. Also they have nice selection of food too, in addition good location for walking around to local markets, coffee shops and other local restaurants! I would recommend :)

Pretty terrible room... AC was leaking on my bed. Rust was coming from the ceiling onto my bed too. No soap provided to wash your hands. Location & customer service was fine.

Walls are thin (I can hear the heavy traffic from my room that is deafening plus bonus, the annoying loud snoring from my neighbor in the next room!), no elevator so if you have large bags then good luck. And yes, sharing the bathroom and shower with the entire floor of strangers. Not for me, and maybe not for you. Sheets are fresh and clean tho, and late check-in at 1am also very efficient and responsive. Location, could be better because there is not station near here. Big plus is the Mini Big C 24H store that’s around the corner for food and anything you need.
