Very clean, nice and quiet. That was basically everything I wanted! Beautiful little garden on the roof that we spent a bit of time relaxing on :)

A great hostel in a beautiful neighborhood. quite far from downtown and backpacker central, but worth it if you want some peace and quiet. Kitchen is there for your own use and the rooftop lounge is fantastic! Staff were always very helpful and even provided free breakfast everyday.Shared washrooms were always clean.

good place to stay location wise rightt next 2 the sky train for ease of travel around also great food stalls right outside the door,but as previously written it can be a very noisy hostel there is a 12 o clock curfew on noise on the roof but i was kept awake until 230am by people on roof playing guitar singing etc (not ideal when i had 2 be up at 430 to catch a train)

Great place to stay in city, although set on the busy Sukhumvit Road, the hostel was pretty quiet. Staff helpful when wanting to book a trip to tiger temple, great stay for a couple of nights.

I didn't like this hostel at all. There's absolutely no atmosphere whatsoever! The staff was very rude and wouldn't let any one who's not staying at the hostel inside. Which is good for security reasons but is really a hassle! Luckily it's located right near the BTS staying, which is probably the only good reason to stay at this hostel...

I like the location, convenient for the transportation by skytrain. The staff are friendly. Room is simple with beds and a small cabinet only, but still fine for us. But it would be great if there was at least a hair dryer, the hostel can put it at the reception desk for the guest to borrow :) We need the hair dryer, indeed. We cant wait 2-3 hours for the hair to get dried.

Very good hostel and very clean. I've stayed in many hostels and I've never seen such clean bathrooms. There is a kitchen, laundry and a common area where you can meet other people. Breakfast is simple but appreciated. The staff is helpfull and the free internet and wifi is an extra plus for the hostel. I have enjoyed and would definately stay again.
