Best Hostel I have ever stayed at. Place was clean and quiet at night. Staff was super nice helped out when and were ever they could. The staffs English was more than sufficient to address all the questions about Bangkok. Staying at this Hostel I think made the trip. The view from the roof was nice too.

Nice place, clean, friendly staff. Room was perfect for me with en suite, hot shower and A/C. Breakfast which was included was lovely and all round i really liked this place. Location was perfect, about 10 mins or less walk from the Khao san road so you're very close but away from the noise too. I will be coming back here in a few weeks and possibly again after than as i'm using bangkok as the centre point for my travels in SE Asia.

A nice little hotel for a reasonable price. Go downstairs to the kitchen/foyer every morning for a simple but tasty all you can eat buffet style breakfast which will save you some money if you're a big eater and a nice place to talk to fellow travellers. The staff were helpful and friendly and the rooms clean. The room I stayed at was on the 5th floor so it's a long walk up. It had air conditioning, small TV, fast Wifi when it worked, hot water shower and a safety box. The view was bad though.

the included breakfast itself makes this a worthwhile place to stay. we happened to stay here during the floods and they were super accomodating and great with passing along up to the minute info regarding the floods

The hostel was perfect and I have no complaints. Clean rooms, A/C if you want it, free and very good breakfast and the staff was very friendly. Security box in the room and you can leave your bags with staff to be watched over and locked up. It's around a 10 minute walk to Khaosan Road and there's taxi's and tuk tuks available right down the street or the staff will call you one. I will definitely stay here again when I'm back in Bangkok

Great location. Excellent friendly staff (excellent for one member). Excellent breakfast. Poor internet connetion. Excellent security,. we noticed how quick the front security gates were closed when a scuffle broke out in the street. Security cameras are throughout the building and monitored by staff. Beds are very hard.

Not Excellent locationn far from Khoasan Road. On ly 10 mins walk to river boats which are easy to catch. Rooms are large with private balcony. Air con works good. Staff were friendly. Free breakfast was excellent and there was free tea and coffee available all day long. Room had firdge and shower was ok. Rooms were quiet. The price is good and the hotel is always busy. Free wifi. We stayed twice in one month. Left to go to Chaing Mai and wanted to come back to Bangkok so immediately re-booked.

This is a clean, quiet, affordable place to stay in a great location. Its a 10 minute walk from all of the action on Khaosan, on a nice quiet side street. Free breakfast is pretty good. There are a lot of families and a diverse group of people staying here. If you're looking for a party hostel, or a place to meet young, single travelers, then this isn't the best place for you...but if you're looking for a clean, quiet place to stay, then it's perfect.

Good value place to stay. I had a very small room with two single beds, ensuite, air-con, view of not much - not inspiring, but cute enough, clean and good value. Breakfast was the best I've had at a hostel. Only real opportunity to meet other people was at breakfast; probably better to stay here if you already have peeps rather than if you want to make friends. Neighbourhood is fabulous, lots of vegetarian restaurants, near Bangkok's best blues bar and the cool Phra Aathit rd.

This hostel is very clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly. The breakfast was great. The location is good for exploring the old part of the city. However whenever we travelled to the new part of the city we always found it difficult to find a taxi to take us there! They always claimed it was too far to travel!!

A place worth it's money. Excellent location. Close to the tourist oriented area but not too close. Very clean rooms, rich breakfast, safe in room provided for free.

a great place to stay as always. Everything you need and only a 10 minute walk from the Khao San road. This is my 2nd time here. The only downside this time was that the wifi only worked on the ground floor.

The good features about this hotel are it's got a good location to walk to Khao San Rd., as well as several other tourist sites; and, the free breakfast is really good, too. The only problem we had is the street noise is really, really loud. I could even hear it through my ear plugs. If you're not a light sleeper, it's a pretty good choice.

This hostel is more like a hotel with nice rooms (air conditioned) and decent bathrooms in a good location.
