The people I met were great, it was unfortunate that Dave was not there as the biggest reason for me booking here was that I knew he would be able to help me with stuff- i was given dodgy and mostly incorrect info from the other staff which cost time and money however the people i met made it worthwhile.

room was clean, very good air/con, clean bathrooms. seemed pretty quiet and in downtown bangkok, so not as good for bars/backpacker services

This is my second stay here. It's always easy to meet people whether in the common room or hanging out in front near seven eleven. The rooms are all very clean and the beds are reasonably comfortable.

David is really helpful and give you lots of advice not only about Thailand but also if you want to travel to Vietnam or Cambodia. Only thing we found was that the bus we booked through Soi 1 to cross into Cambodia was a lot more expensive than that which other people paid, over twice the price.

the staff are amazingly helpful and friendly have loads of services of recomendations and how not to get scammed whilst staying in bangkok a really good place to stay whilst you find your feet in bangkok. I cant tell you how helpful the staff are they go out of their way to look into ways and give you recommendations of where you want to go in bangkok but we also had loads of help in planning our journey over to loas. You have internet access and the place is alwy being cleaned so you know the cleanliness is high on their priority a good atmosphere to meet new people especially if your starting off your trip i will definately be going back when we get to bangkok.

Dave the owner is very friendly and helpful and the common room is set up perfectly to chat with other hostelers. I arrived after 1am because of a late flight yet check in was no problem. Also very comfortable beds in the female dorm!!

The staff were friendly and all the other travellers I met were really nice. If you're travelling alone or want to meet other travellers this is a good hostel.

Dave the owner was VERY helpful in sorting out your onward travel and with advice for things to do whilst in Bangkok. The place was also kept incredibly clean and posessions were very safe. My only slight gripe is how far away from Koh San and the good nightlife it was but there is plenty to do down Thannon Sukamvit which is the road off where the hostel is.
