Reviews of Niras Bankoc Cultural Hostel

24 November 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: One of the best hostels I have ever stayed in by far. Beautiful room, cosy & relaxo atmosphere, they have DVDs & books in the chill room, great coffee, it was very clean and the staff are FANTASTIC. Most facilities like washing etc available, and the location was perfect for my boyfriend and I, it was central but not in the midst of the hustle & bustle & noise of the Khao San Road area.

Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: Good location, close to Khao San Road and across the street from a busy night food market. Clean and comfortable.

Disliked: It was really quiet. Didn't meet many people. But then I was there in the off season and during the floods. On the plus side it did mean having a 4-bed dorm to myself.

Liked: Clean, very cool atmosphere. Good location, about a 10-15 minute walk from Khao San road. Staff was perfectly helpful.

06 October 2011 Charlotte would recommend this property

Liked: The hostel was very clean and well-maintained; it felt more like a home than the typical hostel. I met a lot of other travelers there who I ended up hanging out with during my stay. There are lockers in every room which was helpful. Cute coffee shop in the reception area, very friendly staff and lots of great food vendors in the area. I highly recommend it.

Disliked: Nothing

03 October 2011 Daniel would recommend this property

Liked: I liked that it was actually AWAY from the craziness of Khaosan road, but still close enough to walk there in 10 minutes; the same for the Golden Palace and other important sites. The staff were REALLY nice and helpful, the entire hostel was spotless, beds and lockers are big and new. They have a good lounge area, and I love it when hostels have free soap and shampoo in the (also very clean) showers! It's the little things that count. Good coffee too!

Disliked: Nothing!! I'd definitely stay here again.

30 September 2011 Alastair would recommend this property

Liked: Great cosy feel. Lots of old teak floors and furniture. Excellent DVD collection and a little common room for chilling/chatting/sinking a few Chang. Free netbook to use. Great showers. Comfy bed (as long as you like a firm mattress). Close enough to everything there is to see/do in Bangkok.

Disliked: Nowt.

28 September 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Really good hostel, great facilities and very helpful staff. The coffee was fantastic too, nothing better than a good cup as you're waking up!

Disliked: We had a double budget room which was quite small, enough space for a double bed and about a foot between the bed and door. Not really a dislike but probably should of spent extra as other double rooms were much bigger and even had TV's.

23 August 2011 Christine would recommend this property

Liked: This was a fantastic property. I've stayed a few times in Bangkok now and it was really nice. My partner and I shared a room and it was lovely and came with complimentary breakfast and water. Our friends stayed in the dorms and found them very comfortable and enjoyed that there were not too many people in the rooms. The coffee is great here, and it's got such a nice vibe.

Disliked: The location wasn't perfect, but it wasn't a long walk from anything. I would happily stay here again.
