The Chilli Bangkok Reviews

The hostel is great for a night, not much longer. The facilities are clean and the staff was nice, but the room was tiny and the location is not great. It took me 5 taxis one night until I found one that could bring me to the hostel. You have to go through a small, dark alley to reach to hotel, not great for women that are scared in BKK :D

The rooms were very small but clean. The hotel was clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel is down an alley so it's a bit hard to find and your first time walking down it feels a bit sketchy but once you get used to it it's ok. The hotel is close to the central railway station (Hua Lam Pong) and plenty of shops but its a ways away from Siem Square and the night life. I have one more night in Bangkok before I head on to Cambodia and I will stay at Chilli Bangkok again.

The rooms really are as small as all the other comments suggest but overall the place is definitely worth staying at. The staff are lovely, it's really near the river and all the train station as well as having a MTS station just around the corner. If you're staying a few nights in Bangkok then the room size might eventually get to you but for a couple of nights it's perfect.

Great place to stay if you need to be close to Hualampong Train Station, but not really anything else. Staff was friends, even though they had a hard time finding my booking.

Good place to stay if you're travelling together, although the location isn't that great. You basically have to walk 15min to Hualamphong for public transport or take a cab/tuktuk to get anywhere. Oh, and it has got impossible toilets to sit on. You'll see it when you get there ;-)

Good price-quality correlation

Tiny rooms, a leaking water in the bathroom. Bathroom was so small in the bunk bed room that it was impossible to sit on the toilet straight. Airco v. good. Quiet area in the city centre. Location is perfect but be ready for a really small room.

Very small room, but comfy bed and big windows. We lived there for one week and they only cleaned once. The staff are not speaking that good english, but they are helpful none the less. 5 min walk to both pier and mrt, so location is good, but the neighborhood is a little "dead". But if youre ok with a 20 min walk it's plenty of fun in chinatown. The hostel is a little hard to find the first time, but if u see the 'charoen krung 37’sign, you will be fine.

Excelent hostel very new and comfortable.

Excellent staff. Mike was great, along with Dan even though I did not see him much. The "bar" area could use some work--the atmosphere was a little bland. I love the location. The Chilli Bangkok city map you provide is excellent--I preferred it over my 90 baht map from Seven/Eleven. The beer is a little over-priced.

Very helpful, kind staff, and it's quiet---which is both a plus and minus---as it is very hard to find, but when you do (and manage to get home again after an evening out) it is nice and quiet---except a generator/motor which turns off and on ever few seconds in the night. (sometimes you get used it, sometimes not, probably depending on where your room is.)

Staff cant even speak understandable english. Toilet's sewage system always down which have caused the many units to be flooded. Room is alright. Location is alright too.

good. value for money.excellent in all respect. i give a 5 star rating.

The hostel has a really cool style, but the room we rent was unbelievably small. Anyway, the Chilli Bangkok is a good possibility to pass the night for a very low price.

Clean, comfortable hostel. Computers available in the lobby and wi-fi for the first few floors. Very quiet location - there's not much around there but nearby are riverboat and metro stops and it's not far from Chinatown. Rooms absolutely tiny!

I was a little weary of leaving my door key at reception each time we went out, the keys seemed to be in plain view and reach of anybody walking in.

Rooms looks like a bird's nest. For a double bed room, only one person could fit it. Is impossible to breath! Staff doesn't speak English, therefore, cannot give you help and instructions.

Really enjoyed our stay, great little hostel. However the only thing we would say is to keep the room keys at reception in a more secure place because anyone can pick up anyone's key.
