Liked: Location was great, close to metro and sky train, easy to go everywhere, despite the entrance is quite small, it was quite easy to find it, as the direction given in their website was excellent!

Disliked: Not really dislike, but sometimes it was a bit annoying the amount of people offering the service of prostitutes in the streets nearby at all time!

Liked: Good Location, staff seemed friendly and helpful, good wifi near BTS which makes it easy to get around the city and to airport. Free coffee.

Disliked: Place could do with a bit of care upstairs. They turn the aircon off in the dorm 1-5pm....which is the heat of the day and is very uncomfortable in the dorm. Bathrooms could do with a bit of thought.....If you need to change your clothes... could do with a mirror and shelves to make this process easier.....All in all not bad for one night or so....

26 December 2011 Mathieu would recommend this property

Liked: Very clean hostel. The staff is very helpful. They will call to verify informations if they are not 100% sure.The hostel is really secure, doors are lock and guest have keys..

Disliked: The hostel would need a better common area. As solo backpacker, it was difficult to encounter other travelers. I would not recommand this hostel if you are easily offended by sex scence as it is very near the Patapong night market.

24 May 2011 Kelly would recommend this property

Liked: No one can dispute this place has a great location close to the BTS skytrain and MRT and local shops, supermarkets and a great abundance of food on offer wherever you go. If the places you intend to visit are centrally located, you might never have to catch a tuk tuk or taxi at all which is a great thing. The staff ate extremely pleasant and helpful with particar mention to Kieu who was so thorough and lovely in helping me out I couldn't not recommend the place. Also you probably couldn't get this location at this price elsewhere which is what you're mainly paying for.

Disliked: I stayed in a standard single room and to be honest the photos are misleading. The place is quite run down and old but given a layer of paint to modernise the rooms. It doesn't quite work. My room had a pretty obvious smell of mildew that was slightly improved with the use of aircon. My room was pretty bare basics: bed, air con, side table with a little safe on it. Shared toilets are pretty basic too. It's also a very quiet place (unless you count hearing your neighbors through the bedroom walls, which you can An's very easily too!) with no real communal areas.

11 April 2011 JONARD would recommend this property

Liked: The location is the best....near the BTS and many establishment 24 hours like coffee shops, bar (red light type and decent ones), bank, convenience store, hospital and etc. I also love how the staff assist me in all my travel needs like finding laundry shop, booking a ticket for shows and even help me looking for a good optical shop since I broke my glasses. Meet a lot of people as well. I think you just need to approach the other people in order to start conversion.

Disliked: None.
