The Overstay Reviews

Arrived during SongKran so everything was a bit mad, with the hostel being overbooked. The hostel needs a good amount of upkeep to get it back to standard, but some of the interesting people you met help you get pass that.

Hostel is more suitable for drug addicts or alcoholics who want to lie down after taking large doses and are indifferent to cleanliness. Garbage in the rooms is not removed, the sheets were not changed, the bed crawling ants, broken sockets and backed stones on the walls depict Pol Pot, the man, pulled out his eye and other depressive psychedelic. Oh, and if the other guests will steal your money, the owner does not help you, and if you act up, the police will come to you to expose.

If think you're a normal person don't book it!

If I was being kind I would say, "party hostel" If I was being honest I would say, "House party that we weren't invited to!" The place and staff were a mess. You shouldn't have to pay for that kind of experience.

Oh my god! It was really ugly to be there. In the internet they dont tell about how dirty it was.stinky.bad air.nothing for non smokers. Its like a party place. Feels like i was sleeping in a bar. They describe its for artful persons, but i would say, its a place for junkies there. The overstay is not a hostel for useing.they should take it out of the internet ir here from hostelworld.its really a ugly place with bad services,bad atmosphere.bad rooms,stinky,unclean,broken beds.

This place is cheap and fun. That about sums it up. It isn't anything spectacular but the vibe is good. Worth staying for a night if you're on a budget.

first I got robbed, then the room was dirty and not even ready for us. all nights there would be a party downstairs and everybody smoking all kinds of things. the owner very rude the other girls very nice. anyway, if you are a hippie u will like it maybe, if not, don't go there!!

Had the best time whilst staying at The Overstay! Staff were great and helpful. Felt like 1 big family.. Will be recommending to everyone!

Probably not the place to stay if you're new to the travelling scene. The spray painted decor might not be to everyone's taste but does create an artsie/squat type feel to it, in a good way. A good bar othe ground floor creating a good atmosphere and staff that can help you out. Quite a distance from the main parts of BK though and it's either a long trek/taxi/bus into the city every day and back. But for 100B, you really can't complain!

Characterful place with colourful graffiti art on the walls. Facilities are basic so if you are after something fancy or if hygiene is a priority, this place probably isn't for you. But if you want something cheap and cheerful, It may well be. Has an artist squat kind of vibe to it. There was no lock on the inside door to my room, which was the only downside for me.

There was no reception so it was confusing if we were at the right place. Beds were unmade and in a poor condition, with the mattress being stained and pillows were not provided. There were no lockers for valuables in the shared dorms and the private room was barely lockable with the door handle loose. It is built upon a great concept of a shared art space/hostel. But unfortunately it is poorly executed and maintained. We did not stay the night and left within and hour.

It's a punk rock hostel. Adjust expectations accordingly. Prepare for beautiful graffiti and art along all the walls, interesting characters in the bar, and good reads left on the shelves - but also bedbugs in the sheets, cockroaches in the shower, a lack of locks and trash left on the floor. I'd recommend it for one night, just for the experience (but not the bedbugs...)

most excellent place to stay in bangkok. a destination unto itself.

Nice place. Good partys

Not for all the people, I would be back for sure!

This was my first impression of Bangkok and when I first saw the building and my room it wasn't a good one. But it had some pretty look art over the walls and some kool travellers to chat to. The room was very basic but it had a aircon that helped. The bathroom and toilets were absolutely disgusting it looked like they had never been cleaned and the smell was unbearable to even walk past, I was truly shocked! But it was a very cheap place to stay and if you can handle the stench then go for it!
