The Overstay Reviews

So you really get what you pay for here. First of all, the place is impossible to find. Once you do find it, well, it's not much to look at. It seems like anyone can walk in and out whether staying there or not. The beds are very uncomfortable, better off sleeping on the floor. Nothing fancy but if looking for a cheap place to crash then go for it. Rooftop area is a nice escape although the view isn't something to write home about.

This place is not for everyone, if you are exhibitionist this is your place. The private room i was offered even there were other options available by the online booking information had a darkened window viewable from the next room. Door was also unable to lock from the inside. Revealing this information caused a immidiate eviction, beware, you might get raped or worse.

Well, it is the worst hostel in any points I\'ve ever seen so far. No one to awnser me, graffiti everywhere, people sleeping everywhere around at 3pm(looking stone or drunk). I never had such a bad feeling about a place. I had a look around and at the dorm... and then I just left. The ambiance was really not nice. Maybe if I would have stay longer, it would have change my opinion about there but seriously, I would\'nt recommend this place to anyone.

It's such an interesting place where art is evoluting permanently as much in the decoration than in the atmosphere created by the people staying and working here.You just part of it till you are here.

The Overstay seems to be a home for long term expats rather than a hostel. It was very dirty, there was no water in the bathrooms, neither to flush the toilets nor to shower. The toilets were so dirty that one absolutely couldn't go on them. You could not lock any doors. When we arrived, there was this crazy s&m party going on and i was very glad i wasn't traveling on my own. There was no fan in the rooms and it was very hot everywhere.

It's a interesting place. Not much of either a hostel or a guesthouse. More like a place to chill, and catch some sleep if you don't have much money. I would go for a private room, cause the dorms are hot hothot, and quite uncomfortable beds. But I really liked the atmosphere there, awesome people, and awesome owner. Go here if wanna experience different and chilled out, and if you are in to partying all night long, this is the Place to be!

- Walked in at 11 am... no lights on, Very smelly - people passed out on the floor - people looked off their faces on drugs - private room door would not shut - ants everywhere in the room - bed wasnt made... blood stains on the materess - no curtains in the room... very hot room no fan - door wouldn't shut on the bathroom - flush didnt work on the toilet - Did I mention it stank!!!! Horrible horrible place I lasted 30 mins in there and I was out... couldnt even stay the night

I had a good time there even it its not a proper hostel. Its more like an chilly place to hang out with nice people. Dont suspect a conftable bed or a working shower...somethimes you will slep at the floor... The area was quiet weird but intresting.

Actually I have never been to this hostel because of plan changed!!! :-)

Not clean at all, I wouldn't even take a shower there. I left in the morning after the very first night. I had a reservation for a single room and it wasn't available when I got there, because they said they overbooked. I don't recommend at all.

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

A wonderful place if you are ind of a person who loves interesting people who like doing interesting stuff. The hostel had diverse guests and some really interesting graffiti done on all the walls. Loads of music instruments. The staff was very helpful and kind to answer all our queries. Overall a must stay if you are in Bangkok and not very particular about cleanliness.

A lovely place with lots of interesting people. (:

Had a great time the people and staff with the Overstay were great. if your looking for something on a budget and want to meet people from all walks of life an artistic environment and beer on the cheap then you will love the Overstay.

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.

the overstay is for young people or people who likes to smoke herbe, so its not the hotel for \"normal\" people, but people are kind, they don\'t take care about us. the bathroom is not clean because they don\'t take care too. and at Sawasdee welcome inn the staff is not kind, the rooms are BEURK, the bathroom are not clean, its not like the pictures they show on internet

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.

This place was one of our favourite places to stay in southeast asia! The owner is such a nice genuine guy, the art work is amazing and the vibe is like no other place. Not the cleanest place in the world, but lets face it - your in asia. The price is cheap and the art work is awesome. Let us know if you ever come to melbourne so we can hook you up with a place to stay! xx

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
