I chose this hostel because it had a high rating (around 83%) but It's not so good as I expected. size of the room and bathroom altogether was so small that I had to close the door to wash my hand, the shower was terrible, toilet ok. The sheets of the bed had blood marks on it, the boiling pot was full of mold, moreover the elevator didn't work. The staff is very helpful though and the lobby is also nice. But they really have to decrease price for those kinds of rooms and clean more!!

I was sleeping in a 10 bed dorm. There is a locker, and everything is clean. No noises from the street which always helps to fall asleep in the unbearable heat. I wouldn't eat the 160 bht breakfast again tho, defiantly overpriced.

Quite cheap and the location is quite good because the metro and pier 8 are not too far. It was a bit overcrowded at that time. Then the rest was ok, nothing special.

By far the best hostel for the value we stayed at during our whole trip in SE Asia. The staff is incredibly helpful and has all sorts of info on different things to do and tours and shows to see. The restaurant is nice and there are plenty of places to relax at the hostel between your activities. The room was also very pleasant and nicely decorated. The water pressure in the shower was pretty bad, but we were also on the fourth floor. Overall, a great place!

Not a spectacular hostel, but not bad either. My friend and I stayed for two nights, and after that we had enough. Although they do provide free wireless it takes forever to connect. Also, when my friend had trouble connecting and she asked the front desk, she was told it was her problem, so they wouldn't even try to assist her. They do have good tourist information specialists though. When we asked how to see a movie, they answered all of our questions and more. Overall mixed review.

The hostel at first glance was nice until we woke up in the middle of the night infested with bed bugs. I have had an experiance with bed bugs in the US a few years ago and nothing compares to this. I woke up at 3 in the morning, tossed off my blankets and I was covered in bed bugs.

It was our second stay here, the first stay was great, the second stay not, so my review is a lot lower. As a hostel you have people arriving/departing early/late especially in a city like BK. Our room was empty when we arrived, but to get in early they wanted us to pay 450batt which is crazy, as the room was not that cheap even! Also first time here had great room, now a tiny one! Staff was also not as helpful. Internet does not work in your room.,go sit downstairs was the comment.

These guyz are awesome. Specially the service office guys who give you free and important guidance about how to plan your next destinations. The whole staff is highly cooperative. But wash rooms seriously need to be mainntained.

The guest house was in a quite back alley, far away from Khao San Road, but in a nice area and we could easily take a river ferry or overground train. It has a nice entry and relaxing common area, although we barely spend any time there, because of the great outside activities in Bangkok ;) The room we stayed in was clean, with a good, but cold shower. Overall we were quite happy with it, but are not sure whether to stay there again or go little more into the city centre.
