The staff is friendly and helpful. The dorms are kept clean and the air conditioners are crispy cold... sometimes to a fault. They turn them off from 2-5 I believe, so it's a good time to sweat off any liquor you may have in your system.

CheQinn was a quiet location off a busy area near Nana Plaza. The place was super clean and i was surrounded by friendly staff and other travelers. One of the rare hostels i have stayed in over the past few months that had a good wifi range in the rooms without having to migrate to the lobby for a signal. They also have the A/C on blast, which is good because the low was 85 degrees even at night!

Hostel is located in the infamous red light district on Nana, have to walk past a couple of bars to get to the narrow road where hostel was located. It was interesting enough checking out the sights and sounds of the district on the walk in, I guess it adds to the bangkok experience. Located right at the end of a narrow lane off the main soi, the hostel was about a fifty meter walk in. Safe enough to walk in the night and far away enough to not be disturbed by the noise from Main Street.

Decent. No balcony like the video showed and my hair product and shower gel went missing (which they found funny rather than concerning). But location is good but for the old farang in all the bars with Thai girls nearby!

Stayed in a horrible place in Silom and CheQinm was my saving grace! Friendly and accommodating staff with just an overall great vibe! Definitely staying here again at the end of my trip!!

Great Hostel could be improved with a few small things like having good Coffee (Machine ) a couple of Buckets for washing clothes

Love the hostel! Although it's sort of in an ... interesting area with all the hostess bars and ladyboys, there are consequently lots of police around so it's pretty safe. And only a short walk from the train. The hostel also has a great room layout, great wifi, good working AC (except 12-5) and the large sized luggage storage under the bunk beds is awesome. And all beds having their own light, outlet and desk is also a nice touch. Would definitely stay here again if I'm back in BKK

Great hostel and location. Preferred staying here over Khao San Road. It is kinda seedy in the surrounding area but this hostel is away from all that so do don't hear it. (Still have to walk past it....welcome to Bangkok!!) Facility is very clean and modern and the staff are super friendly. Won't let you sit there by yourself. :-) would fully recommend and revisit my next time in Bangkok.

Impressions: great and really cheap! Staff: welcoming and very helpful about Bangkok, transportation info, accomodation... Location: Soi 4 (Nana Plaza) is a red light district (many ladies & ladyboys). I found it quite fun, but some people might not like it. Also close to nice drinking spots (Soi 7/9/11) and close enough to Nana BTS station.

I stayed at Che Qinn for 3 nights from March 27-29, 2013 and it was an excellent experience overall. The staff was friendly and helpful and you can count on them to assist in whichever way possible. The dorms / rooms and toilets and showers are kept clean. The ACs in the rooms are kept off from 1-5 pm so that can be a bit of a bother in the heat. Since Che Qinn is at Soi 4 on Sukhumvit Road, it's a great location with easy access to the BTS. definitely recommended!

the place was beyond my expectations, provided prospective customers are aware tt it is in the middle of a red light zone , there was little to complain about apart from other guests who were making noise early in the morning when some people were trying to sleep.

It gets a 1.5/5. It's location is great, a few minutes from Haad Rin beach and I loved that the hostel supplied shampoo and soap. Everything else was pretty bad; air-con was out of commission so the place was permanently sweltering (they gave us a free bucket each to say sorry). It was too expensive also, the place smelled and the decor was, in a word, interesting... On the bright side, Marius is here for the party too and he brought a new friend; a german called Simon. The hostel also had some

It was a great place! I'll stay there every time I'm in Bangkok from now on. The staff are lovely and fun to sit and talk with! The nieghborhood is exciting and everything you could want is close by. The only thing I'd say that's bad is the Internet could have a better connection and they dont seem to have mixed dorms any more? Otherwise it's fantastic!

CheQuinn was lovely: quiet, modern, with great A/C, clean bathrooms, and a laid-back vibe. It's in the heart of the Nana district which is very convenient for Bangkok (just two blocks from the BTS rail system) but also thus very close to clubs catering to older men seeking prostitutes. CheQuinn was great for a bangkok stay--great value!

Loved this hostel. As a solo traveller I wanted somewhere that i would feel safe and enjoy. It's such a cute spot with high air conditioned rooms and a huge drawer for valuable items. Very modern, with the most friendly staff!

I had this feeling that staff only wanted to make money on me... common area is not closed. It was hot and the bugs there were very annoying. The room is small but looks very clean, A/C in the room was good. I could not make the water hot in the shower. Staff was rude once in a while. I will probably avoid staying there next time.

the first day was awesome. inside a red light zone, the hostel still stands clean and does not have doggy guests. But they need to check the water system coz the first day, water ran dry. it took them 1 hr to fix and it never happened again. the room's neat and spacey but a little sandy. Lastly, the toilet is smells. clean thou. i resorted to buying cheap aroma difusser in chaktukcuk solving the smell. overall its really value for money. loction is so near BTS, its like my own! thumbs up cheqin.

Chequinn is a great little hostel. The only thing to note is that it is not in the Khao San Road area, but is in Nana. Nana is the red-light district, so be careful the ladyboys don't grab you! The hostel is only a 5 minute walk from the Skytram, so it's well connected to everything except Dusit and the Khao San Road (but that's because those districts aren't connected well to the rest of Bangkok).
