It was a nice hostel and clean. When I was there, I believe there wasn’t really anyone else staying, so it’s great if you’re looking for a quieter spot but as a solo traveler I was hoping to meet more people.

We booked a private room with private bath & it was exactly how we expected it to be. The room has A/C, universal outlets, towels, and a big shower. The staff was very friendly & the cafe was good for breakfast! Excellent location.

This charming, atmospheric, laid-back hostel is just ten minutes? walk from the lively Khao San Road, leading several of our guests to comment that regardless of ?if you want a quiet place [or] if you want to meet other travellers and go out, this is the place?. They have air conditioning, comfortable beds, clean bathrooms and an onsite caf?.
