This place is safe, clean, and provides excellent services. Unfortunately, it's not really a hospital and lacks any character or atmosphere. It's basically a mini-hotel for young people.

Perfect hostel to stay at if you need to be near the Myanmar Embassy and near the skyrail.

Nice clean hostel. A bit too big for my taste, lacks the 'home' cozyness.

This hostel is very clean and the beds are awesome, you've got AC in the rooms, your own bedside lamp along with 2 plugs, a large locker, lots of showers, it's quiet but that means you can actually sleep at night (priceless)... the area is more quiet than the KoSan Road one, but there's a BTS station next to it so it's very convenient and it's also close to the Central Pier. the bar/restaurant and café are also pretty convenient, and you can meet other travellers around a nice bottle of beer ;)

This was my first place to go on my 2 week trip through Thailand. Even though I had a good stay there, I felt like I did not receive the "Thai Hospitality" that I was expecting. Maybe they just had a rough day when I first came in, but subsequently for the days after?

This place was awesome. It might be the best hostel I stayed at in South East Asia. The facilities make you feel like you are in a hotel. It is good. The showers are amazing. If you been on the road for a while you will really appreciate this. The staff is very friendly and fun. I think I made friends with everybody that worked there. The restaurant has really tasty food and is reasonably priced. I really enjoyed it here.

The only problem of this place is the distance. you have to take a cab to go everywhere, and it's pretty far from the khao san road, although it's close to the BTS it didn't really help us. Everything else is great

Very nice and clean hostel. Good facilities: restaurant, bar etc. Kind of far from Khao San road and the RCA but near the scirocco skybar (hangover 2 bar) which is recommended. Good air conditioning. Large rooms and good mattresses. Clean toilets Stayed in a 4 bed all male dorm with exchange buddies.

Only negative comment regards the lighting. The rooms and bathrooms are quite dark.

I very much enjoyed my stay here. The hostel is super clean, has amazing showers and general facilities. The movie rooms are great, lobby with computers + free wifi, free pool table and games makes for a great stay. All in all a fantastic hostel

Large, active hostel conveniently located near a Skytrain station, night markets, and restaurants. This hostel definitely attracts a younger, twenty-something crowd. The rooms are clean, but have no desk or chairs, so if you have a top bunk, there is no place to sit to put your shoes on or to sort your things--Make sure you request a bottom-bunk. The on-site restaurant is good.

Massive hostel, really nice decor. Front desk staff appeared rude. Never figured out whether you wait to be addressed or just go up and ask the question regardless. Both tactics where hard work for them. The rooms are big, clean and cool. The wardbrobe likes lockers are excellent. For lunch and dinner you get 10% off which brings it inline with restaurants in the area. Very close to the sky train and ferry. Didn't need to use tuk tuk or taxi. Quiet, relaxing hostel.

The staff were great, I think the place was just not quite what I was expecting. It wasn't a dump that's for sure, I think the pictures just didn't look quite like what is really there. If you are looking for a quiet place to stay then this is a great choice. But if you want to stay somewhere closer to a beach with sand, I would recommend staying at lonely beach (won't be quiet there though!)

Very impressed with this place! Havn't stayed anywhere with such comfy beds, spacious rooms, brilliant staff, good location, a reataurant on the ground floor, good quality food and very cheap! Bathrooms in general are clean but the showers in the female bathrooms could be cleaner, didnt get the impression they were cleaned every day. Beside this the place is an excellent hostel!

This was my second time staying there and since the first time it was brand new I had hoped that their cleaning staff would be better but its not. The shared bathrooms are disgusting, they were not cleaned the whole time I was there either trip. The staff is great and the rooms and rest of the hostel are kept pretty clean though.
