The Chilli Bangkok Reviews

The Chilli is truly the hostels of all hostels. A no-frills facility that has the bone dry basics – bed, air conditioner, sink and bathroom in each room. Despite the minimalist ambience, the Chilli is very clean and well maintained. This hostel is ideal for college students, low-budget travelers, or backpackers. Or if you are looking for a place to simply use as a crash pad at the end of the day (isn’t that what most tourists do anyways?), I recommend this place. The only disadvantage is that it is

Very nice hostel. Staff will alway help you with any problem you have. If you\'re staying there - the best way of getting into the city is going (5 minutes) to the river and taking the boat - it\'s a nice trip and you don\'t have problems with traffic jam.

I can recommend the chilli hostel if you are on a small budget, yet looking for a cool, still welcoming place. Rooms are really small, but they made the most out of it getting a double bed and an own bathroom into them somehow. Its located in the city center, in walking distance to the central station (about 15 minutes), from where you have access to the metro . There is free wifi and guest computers in the lobby. The staff is most helpful!

The main door should replace with an access door system and the room key shall be kept by the guest instead of placing on the main desk before leaving the hostel. In addition, the bathroom should provide some hooks for clothes hanging and the AC mains power point shall be relocate nearer to the floor instead of ceiling.

Excellent staff and very friendly! Thanks so much!

Bit overpriced and rubbish location but free internet was a plus

The room was very very small, fitting nothing but two 90x210cm beds. So if you\'re very claustrophobic this is maybe not your place. The cover on the bed worked as your towel too, which was weird. All in all a very good place, since you probably won\'t be spending too much time in your room.

I had a pleasant stay at Chilli. The staff has been extremely friendly, welcoming and useful. The rooms very really tiny, but also really comfortable and pretty. The guesthouse looks brand new and the design is simple and pure - it's soothing and pleasant, and gives an impression of freshness. The only downside is the not very much convenient location with limited food/going out options.

This is a great hostel for the money. The building is new and the architecture very modern / industrial. The rooms, though are a bit featureless. I stayed for 5 nights and have to say that at times I felt I was in prison or in a hospital. The bed was very hard and I would have loved a nice blanket if nothing else. The staff speaks exellent english and the were very helpful. Had a nice Chinese new year celebration (head hurt for 2 days) with the wonderful Thai people who lived next door.

Well, the hotel has a very modern and clean look, though it also could be considered "spartan" in the extreme: concrete and metal and no furniture outside of the bed. Still, for money it's a good deal. 2/3rds of the staff spoke good English and were quite helpful. Rooms need better locks (door handle only) and, I don't know, tables. CANNOT USE THE TOILET FOR #2 because of arrangement plus the 1 power outlet is 6ft high! Who designed these rooms, Jebus! Many of the rooms lack windows with views.

Nothing annoys me more than ignorant reviews from ignorant people, Elin&Anne-Marie. Bangkok is humid, more humid than your \"air-conditioned\" room, opening a window would do nothing to alleviate the humidity. My room has an opening window, its closed. No mold, no humidity. No bars or restaurants? it\'s 10 minutes walk to River City bars and pier or MRT, and it\'s in Chinatown. Moron Cheapest, cleanest, private room in Bangkok. Great Location, Highly Recommend! Address is Chareon Krung, Soi 37

Chilli is a really nice place with nice staff. The design is modern and pretty cool. The rooms a bit small, but the price is very attractive making it an excellent place to stay. Getting cabs is really easy so getting to big tourist spots is not a problem (the price was so good that taking cabs wasn\'t an issue, and the cabs to the tourist areas were cheap - around 50B). I recommend this place.

There are no windows to open neather a draw-off in the room. The bathroom is a part of the normal room so that you have all the humidity of your shower in it room. The only way to \"dry\" the room is the aircon. - with the effect that there is a lot of mold in the air.. Absolute inacceptable to sleep there (potential healthrisk!). It\'s a pitty because the hostel itself has a nice atmosphere and citylocation.

For a sleeping point near the main station it works fine, and the rooms are nice and air conditioned (although you dont seem to be able to share the price of a twin room, which surely defeats the purpose if its the same price as a single) Its just a bit dead. if it was jam packed full of people it might have a bit of character but unfortunately when it doesnt its rather dull. there's not really anything of interest in the close vicinity, you'll find yourself needing taxis to get about. okay. ish

Tiny rooms, but cozy. Best shower ever, good Wifi. Not close to the sights, but perfect for a layover if coming/going by train. Will visit again!

The location is poor; hidden down a series of dark alleyways, with no food or public transport nearby. On arrival, I was asked to pay, then told my room was not available and offered a dormitory bed (which I refused), before I was offered the option of a 'bigger' room. The room itself was literally no larger than the bed, which had no sheets. The power socket was located nine feet above the floor (I'm 5'3"), and I had difficulty using the toilet as it was inches from both the wall and sink.

The Chilli Bangkok may improve its service/ facilities to its prospective guests in future by bringing its service and facilities to reasonable level such as, 1. The management may sell its rooms as single rooms or bunk bed rooms rather than twin beds or double in small rooms. 2. The power points for electricity are unacceptable where they are located on the high wall (approx. 2.5 meter). 3. The glass window in every room has meaningless since it cannot be opened and always be covered.

We left early, forfeited our fee and went elsewhere. its hard to find. in a scary little alley which is close to nothing but a very low end ping pong show. Tuk tuk drivers refused to take us there or just had no idea where it was. The rooms were barely big enough to fit the bed so only one person could stand up at a time . There was no ventilation so rooms smelled like stagnant water from the shower. The only power point was on the roof. The cost is the same as a standard motel. Don't stay here.
