OK budget option

Friendly welcome, convenient location for Khao San Road. Room clean. Communal areas a little messy. Very hot in room even with fan. Bearable but not spectacular.

Budget friendly stay!!

The rooms are good and big enough. Staff is nice and friendly. The front lobby area is good and nice seating arrangement. good WiFi connection. Locality is safe and good. Near to the main road & 10 mins walking to the famous Khaosan road. Few things which can be improved. The fan for lower bunk bed is not good. It was very hot. Less number of bathrooms, the toilet, wash basin and bathrooms should be separate so more people can use them. I lost a few small kinds of stuff which I left on the bed.

Cleanliness was tip top. Great ambiance and vibe. The owners are uber friendly and know the ins and outs of the city. Oh, and the music is always bumping.

寝泊まりするだけなら問題ないかと。バックパッカーが多いのでコミュニケーションが取れると一緒にご飯や観光に行けると思います。 セキュリティーはロッカーがあるのですが南京錠を自分で購入しなければなりません。 私は現金を盗られていたのでその点は注意が必要です。

エアコンが入るホテルはvistaの方でホテル変更になりました。 トイレ、シャワーが清潔感がなく水しか出ないので最初は無理だと思いましたが、慣れれば快適でした!アメニティが不足しているので持参するのがオススメです。バスタオルも持参するのがいいです。 スタッフさんにタクシー捕まえてもらったり、ローカルバスも教えてもらいました。 チェックインするとき24時頃で、心配したスタッフさんが近所を自転車で回ってくれてました。 とても優しいです。

Ein entspanntes Hostel in einer angenehmen Lage. Nicht zu weit weg von der „Feiermeile“ und den Shoppingmalls im Zentrum. Auch drum herum hat man alles, was man braucht. Selbst wenn man mal einen Tag nichts machen möchte, weil man auf die große Stadt Bangkok keine Lust mehr hat, kann man dort in der „Chillout-Area“ abhängen, bisschen schlafen, lesen und die entspannte Musik hören. Im Born Free Café auf der anderen Seite kann man außerdem gut frühstücken. Für Omlettefans empfiehlt meine Freundin dort das Omlette. ;)
