Sukhumvit Soi 1Backpackers Hostel Reviews

Nice place with lots of information and advice for future travels posted on the walls. Good location but facilities aren't up to scratch for the price and there is very little security.

Good location. David, the owner, is very budget-oriented which means that you get tens of tips and tricks how to avoid scams and travel cheaply in Bangkok. That was great. Rooms and bathrooms good as well. Only problem, in common room basically no air. Fans were not good enough.

the place was great friendly staff great people staying there little messy but not dirty

The only thing I could say about this place is that there are no locks on the doors. I was there a week and had no problems whatsoever, but it made me very nervous as anyone could come in the room. They do have cameras and 24 hour reception but you never know! The air conditioning was a life-saver and the beds were comfortable. I recommend it to someone who wants a good night\'s sleep, and won\'t get overheated. But for security reasons, be a little cautious.

11th stay at Soi 1 hostel. This should speak for itself, but really this is the perfect hostel. The location is perfect regardless of whether you want to enjoy the city, fly in/out of the airport, or go on pub crawls. The owner, Dave, is full of helpful information and has plastered every wall with incredible tips. The place is priced just right to keep out the hippies, and is just worn enough to keep out the superficial tourists. Facilities are clean and this is a great place to meet new folks

This was our first time in Bangkok but the place seemed pretty good for the price..not in the main backpacker area but it is close to a busy street and shops and a 15 min walk from the boat which takes you right into town. The staff are friendly though and they are there 24 hours.

Nice clean hostel out of the kho-san road area. heard the owner normally puts on pub crawls but he was away on holiday. staff were helpful but the bus to siem reap was expensive, shop around to get it cheaper. Rooms dont have locks but there is 24 hr security and free lockers available

A bit pricier than some other places I found but really good atmosphere. I was starting off my Thai trip here and wanted to get some good advice starting off. The staff were great and pointed me in the right direction.

Soi 1 was by far the best hostel I\'ve stayed at yet

A really fun place to stay especially if travelling on your own. Easy to make friends. The staff is very helpful on giving directions and have a lot of knowledge about Bangkok and the areas surrounding the hostel.

I love this hostel, fun and friendly, perfect if you are a lone traveller. Will definitely be coming back!

The location is great with the walking distance to Siam MRT. The staff was friendly and the room and bathroom looked really clean. It's great value for money.

Great place to meet people and party. Go to the deals section and check the bar crawl. You won't be disappointed!

Good location for embassy needs which is what we wanted. Only problem was the adjoining room had to walk through our room which ment we couldn't lock our door. Dave was a good laugh and took us out to all the good bars. Great restaurant round the corner too!

Friendly and helpful staff and very clean hostel! Absolutely recommendable!!!

Just enjoyed my tenth stay here since 2008. Stay here if you want to enjoy Bangkok. Fantastic location and staff, with all of Bangkok within striking distance. Run by Dave, a legend amongst SE Asian backpackers. Great pub crawls, full of information for Thailand/Laos/Cambodia, and pool table/tv/netbooks for hire. Great for single travellers, safe/storage available, and comfortable beds with A/C. You are making a mistake if you stay elsewhere. Great restaurants, food stalls, and local street bars

I was recommended this place by a friend and having just been there I would recommend it to others! The owner Dave is a legend - likely to be out partying as much as anyone half his age! The staff were kind and informative. The lockers are right in front of the reception desk. It's on a quiet street, so no disturbance when you finally want to sleep. It's close enough to some interesting areas though, and it's near to the Phloen Chit Skytrain Station. Soi One is where I'll stay upon my return! :)

This hostel is awesome if you are looking to both party and see the sights of bangkok. It is not located on the infamous Koh sahn road so is quiet enough away from the party scene but is so close to the sky train for transport. The suburb is great for shopping, eating and partying too. Dave and the staff are great and know the ins and outs of what should be done in bangkok. First time in thailand and I would definitely come back to this

The best place to stay over when backpacking in Bangkok. Dave is the owner and an excellent adviser - I promise you, you need that in Bangkok!
