good stopping point if you need a place quick after a long train ride. however walking 5 floors up with a 20kg backpack almost killed my knees. also spotty internet. ask for a lower floor if you can.

I enjoyed my stay. The staff were helpful, the lobby area with the little restaurant was a nice place to chill out. The food that is served is good. MRT station is just around the corner so it was easy to get to places.

Right next to the train station. Great location for catching trains. Is very clean and modern. A little distance from Khao San Rd but easily reachable by tuk tuk.

As this was the first point of call for me relocating to Thailand I had a lot of luggage and was dissapointed by lack of lift, having to lug my baggage up many flights of stairs in 40 degree heat. Room was very small, but clean enough. Bed was very hard, but seems typical of hostels in Thailand.

It was a pretty legit hostel. Right by the train station so it's easy to get to and from. Nothing stood out but there wasn't anything bad. Good air conditioning. Nice size rooms and clean. I'm super strict on a clean room so I was impressed.

Very unfriendly lady at the desk when we arrived. Our booking was wrong and I had asked hostel,world to change it but they never got back to me about it. There were only 2 beds for 3 of us so we had no option but to leave and find somewhere else. No help from receptionist and no help in trying to get the computer working ( NO EIFI !!) so that we could search for somewhere else. Didn't stay and wouldn't recommend it further. Have not had my deposit back either.

All of our rooms are full that night. And we tried to find a new place for another person who did not book a room with us. Also, we provided wifi to these customers. We already did our best. Customers should not have complaint like this. This is unfair.

@Hua Lamphong is located in a strategic position just in front of the railway station and on the same footpath of the tube station. The staff is simply amazing, helpful & friendly. The room were comfortable and clean, the food was cheap and fresh. Best value for money, I used hostels mainly but my parents ( they are 60 yo ) found the place nice, clean & comfortable too !

I wasn't allowed to bring my fiancee to my room, so we had to use the public space to unpack my bags and repack. :(

A customer booked for a single bed room and it is for one person only.

being directly oppossite the central train station this is perfect for the early morning train to Cambodia . Also well positioned for post office, MRT and Chinatown (great for night time eating). Reception staff answered all my questions well. Bathroom took all day to drain but I'm getting used to flooded bathrooms now so nothing unusual. Good wifi in room despite being on 4th floor. Would stay again.

For those traveling by train, @Hua Lamphong is a perfect choice. Located just across the main station, it was really easy to access. Especially for me who were trying to catch the early morning train to Arranyaprhratet heading to Siem Reap, Cambodia. I stayed at @Hua Lamphong for just one night. I arrived daytime from Butterworth to Bangkok by train. After checking-in, I decided to go on Bangkok city tour which is also easy to do with the hostel location as starting point.

If you have a lot of luggage request a lower floor as there is no lift, staff were friendly enough and the room was lovely and clean, easiest place in Bangkok to get to and from, free internet usage would have been appreciated though as wifi was tempermental and you rackup quite a bit using the internet when paying for it.

The hostel was in the most ideal location: right beside the MRT and right across the central railway. Don't expect a scenic view, but expect easy access to everything (including a bank with ForEx next door and a 7-11). Also, the staff were very helpful to us, even in the oddest hours of the night, and were more than willing to give us commuting directions from the doorstep. The only problem we had was the flights of stairs we had to take going up and the hard pillows. I would definitely go back!

As hostel you can enjoy staying at there. Cz location is close to the subway, and Train station which is toward Ayutaya. By taxi and any vehicle, you just pay within 100bath to the central. Of course, you can reach to Sukunvit by subway which is more cheaper. For female from Japan, staying there naught be hard, because air conditioner is always working even in the midnight. if you want to meet someone, I don't suggest.

Very good location I stayed in a single which was good value for money although a bit dingy though. The food was particularly good.

We had a good first experience. The hostel we booked was near the trainstation and the surrounding was chaotic. But the hostel was an oasis in the crowed and the food was very good.
