The Overstay Reviews

TheOverstay is easily the best place I have stayed. The place isn't for all, its a little ruff around the edges but if your not a prissy traveler wanting your travels to be exactly like your home life I highly recommend trying out the overstay.This is not a normal guest house, character is oozing from the walls in the forms of artwork and music. 7 baht to get to Khao san road on the bus Lots of food in the area(cheaper than Khao san) Has an unmatched vibe to anyplace in bangkok Great people

Very bad! very dirty! Very hard to find. The doors do not latch. There is no security. The staff did not have computers and can not check reservations. I had to wait over 2 hours for a room. People sleep on the floor, without mattresses. Dirty bathrooms and no locks. The windows do not close. It's a spoon. The worst experience I had.

It smelt worse than a Amsterdam coffee-shop Its so so so dirty No locks on the doors also none on the bathroom door The bathroom was unhygienic & the shower water drain was blocked No internet in the rooms No sheets, covers on the bed, no towels No toilet paper Not close to the center of the city For the money you get a roof over your head It`s very cheap

Please be awake when we want to pay and don't leave a drunken Irishman to sort the bill.

It's perfect if you don't have any money at all. Not a good location and nothing really happens withing the bar if there's no party night (there's nothing close). You'll save lot of money but to lose lots of time getting to the city

What a rathole! Turned back and went to order a decent accommodation after waiting in the dirty, greasy, stinky lobby. The owners were too spaced out to service us and we waited for hours for our room to be ready until we got frustrated. What a waste of time and money! Not your best landing spot in Bangkok.

The overstay is really a perfect place for someone like good music a bit of underground and some nice and interesting people. Access was okay from downton.

i could not go to that hotel due to he floodings. the all area is just not safe and depending of the day/ time is flooded. the cab driver at th airport wouldn't even bring us near this area so .. so please do not take my ovaral as real i just had to writte something in order to live that comment

We couldn't even stay here! When we arrived to check in we were told by one of the guests who was serving behind the bar that the owner was out with a woman but that he would show us the dorm. The dorm was very dirty and had no door or lockers. We were also shown a double room which had no window and was also very dirty. The place looked shambolic but I suppose that's what you get for 88 baht!

This place is a bit of a black horse - it is a bar on the ground floor and then some rooms upstairs. TBH the rooms are very basic, ours was just a bed and a make shift lamp + fan. This said though, the staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable on Bangkok and the location is alright, close to the temples. It's cheap so don't expect much!

The only problem was that the owner was a black, and he was either sleeping on the sofa or smoking reefers the whole time we were there. He would put reggae music on in the early hours and stagger around the common area shouting and drinking beers. There were hundreds of cats everywhere - some of them obviously starving to death. We had no idea where they came from, but they had clearly gone to the overstay to die.

Alternative and Fun. Basic but good. No Aircon. Overall a crazy place to stay. With lots of music and alternative people.

for 80 Baht it's quite more then cheap to sleep here...don't expect any luxuary but you got a bed, nice staff and some kind of shower on every floor...it's what it is and it's great in my point of view cause don't forget it's god-damn cheap :) greetings to the guys there cause they really take care on your problems (i lost my baggage and they helped me to get it back). nothing here is about money, it's about an other understanding of traveling the world. take care

Hostel is way out of town but luckily there are lots of frequent buses that pass.when we were there the hostel was hidden behind construction workings - therefore hard to find. the place is not clean, bathroom was awful, i nearly through out every time i went in. doors have small padlocks on them, beds look filthy, luckily we had a sleeping bag! mirror on wall was jagged and broken!if you want to sleep at night dont stay here..punk bands play live throughout the night! cheap and cheerful i guess

great atmosphere, the owner is a handful of information and the hostel has a unique vibes to it, the rooms are simple yet clean will definetly be back on my way back to bangkok.

We have been there 2 days. Generally, city is boring, beaches so far (ab 30minutes by bus). Hostel was ok, just we had problem with bathroom (was out of order :/), and at night was totaly loud - I couldn't sleep. Good point is big hall with tv and a lot of dvd movies!
