The Urban Age Reviews

Nice location near a Skytrain stop (Sala Daeng) and the Patpong Night Market. Bathrooms consisted of two shower stalls and a toilet on floors 3, 4 and 5, each leading into the hallway, which was slightly weird and not very private. Hostel had one computer to use (only the first 5 minutes were free; after that they charged), and they didn't have a printer (this was extremely annoying since there was no convenient internet cafe nearby). Dorm beds were okay, but no electrical plugs near upper bunks

Only sleeping on the floor would be worse than those mattresses

The place is quite good, everything you need is withing that area, food and transportation are easy to find. The staff are also helpful and friendly.

Just off Silom road ( a hot spot : night market, shops, groceries, restaurants...), 100 m from Sala Daeng BTS station, 200 m from Silom MRT station, the location is unbeatable. Beware however, dorms are on 6th floor without elevator and there is a certain lack of character. Staff very nice.

Very friendly and helpful staff, I loved this hostel, the location can't be any better. The rooms are big and with air con, free wifi, coffee and tea. I will definitely stay there again

Clean and big room. Staff is very helpful.

stayed for the 2nd time, staff really helpful as last time. will def come back

I have stayed four nights in this Hostel from 11 October 2011, and I have liked it. It's a not too big hostel in what I have learned businessdistrict of Bangkok, and not in the area with most hostels Walking distance to the Royal Palaca is between 1 hour and 1h15minutes. The hostel is clean, it's neat and the staff is very friendly, helpfull and interested in what you plan to visit in the city. I have enjoyed my stay, although in that period not so many backpackers visited Bangkok.

I have stayed here many times and every time it gets better. The staff are fantastic. The location is great and it is very easy to get here from the airport or Mo Chit Bus Station. It is close to the skytrain and metro.

Needs a common room. Dorms were cramped, very small locker space. Grand hostel if all you need to do is have somewhere to lay your head.

location was very good.

nice place, basic standards good for short stay, very frendly and helpful staff

great location on silom area, cheap price, clean, free wifi.

Location is very good, near by BTS and METRO and food court. Night is not so noisy even if the hostel is near by Pappon. A dorm room is at 6 floor, but no lift. It's a little hard. Laundry is a little far from hostel.

Helpful and pleasant staff, a quiet place in the center of Silom. Thank you!

Really nice services. keep on doing it for my next time !!

The different types of rooms which I have visited and surveyed at the Urban Age Hostel are more spacious,clean and tidy as compare with the other hostels which I have stayed in Bangkok before.On 14th Sept,2011, I stayed in the Double Room on the 4th floor(no window)but with air-conditioner and enjoyed with deep and peaceful sleep,spacious,clean & tidy room.The 2 Bed Dorm(2nd floor)with air-con,spacious,clean & tidy room which I have stayed.Bathrooms & toilets,spacious & clean.Staffs are friendly

The staff here make a rather ordinary hostel exceptional. Of course it is located in a busy and chaotic place, but they really work to ensure that your visit is comfortable. The beds are the biggest complaint we had, but few places in SE Asia seem to accommodate travelers unhappy with springs poking them all night. Go figure. Right after confirming our reservation, we got emails from the hostel confirming everything and offering advice on how to get there and adjusting our arrangements.

Babel is a very good hostel. The room was excellent and spotlessly clean. The staff were friendly and attentive. Certainly a place to recommend..

The hostel is a bit old but clean and neat. Staff are three exceptional friendly and helpful staff. It's right on the back of Silom road, easy access to the new city center and shopping places.
