The excellent hostel I ever met! Warm environment and super nice staff(actually they just like my friends!) room and bed are comfortable, air conditioner is great and bathroom is better than 3 stars hotel! Though it is not near any mrt station , in Thailand taking taxi even cheaper than mrt if u are group of people to go. Btw I miss u bu ber(I m yoko:))

Love this place. Stayed here twice, book-ending my Cambodia trip. Staff was great about advice on how to get around, and also brought me medicine when I was passed out coughing in the common room.

I initially planned to only stay 2 nights at Niras Bankoc, but in the end I stayed for 4 nights. The staff is excellent, especially the receptionist, gave information that I need (tourist destination, how can I get there, etc). This place is strategic, it is not too far from tourist destinations like the Grand palace, Khaosan Rd,etc. food around the hostel is very easy to find, even Noodle resto in front of the hostel is very good. Overall I highly recommend this hostel. -Parlin, Indonesia-

Staff were so welcoming, friendly and helpful with their local knowledge. If you can print a map of the location that would be helpful though as I found not many taxi drivers knew where it was

Owner Comment (Hide)
Thank you for your comments.However, please kindly consider tthe problem you experienced is about lack of knowledge of taxi drivers .Kindly to be clarified that our hostel is centrally located in the old city and close to the Bangkok city hall.

The staff at Niras are EXCELLENT! They'll help you with anything you may need and always with a smile on their faces. I've stayed there twice and when I came back the second time the woman behind the desk remembered my name! It was a great feeling in such a big city to have a place to come back to that felt so comfortable. Beds and bathrooms are clean, air con is great! what more could you ask for?

The staff were absolutely wonderful, and the facilities are stylish and comfortable. There are loads of DVDs you can borrow, and lots of books in the public area, and here are nice large cabinets in the dorms so you can easily lock away your whole big backpack. And the staff were super helpful and friendly (and also stylish, incidentally). I'm going to stay there again when I return I Bangkok!

Loved it here - friendly staff, quirky but modern place, common room with DVD player etc and nice dorms with massive lockers for your bags. Coffee shop out front too, though could do with serving food for a bit longer in the mornings for those who need an extra hour of sleep! 15/20 minute walk from Kohsan, easily managable and we did it each night, plus keeps you out of the hustle and bustle. Definitely stay here again, lovely place.

Niras was great, they let me sleep in the lobby after my flight got in at 4am and helped me when a travel agency tried to sell me an extremely expensive bus ticket. They have great tea and a great atmosphere.

I intended to stay at Niras for three nights, but ended up booking a bed here for each night I stayed in Bangkok. The staff is amazing, they cooked for us more than half the nights I stayed and also were always interested in showing us around Bangkok. It's a 15 min walk from Khao san road where there is a lot of action, but not right on the strip so you can escape the madness to sleep. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone!

Niras Hostel is located in the old part, you can easily walk to the sites and Khao San and China Twon and so on. Good restaurants. The rooms are nice, the beds are big and good, showers clean, huge lockers, wifi in the common area and friendly staff. The price is a little bit high for a shared room compared to other places but it has airconditioning, so thats good.
