I enjoyed my stay very much! It is located in the centre of the city, MRT and skytrain station are in 5 mins walk. One of the highlight is the kind hospitality of their staffs. They gave us a lot of useful info. of where to go and what to do in New Year Eve. There is a lovely lobby providing free coffee & coca, u can meet other travellers as well. My friend had problem with her passport and she had to stay over there for some extra nights, the kindful help form the staff were highly appreciated.

I love this place. The owner and staff are good people. They are willing to help you with anything at anytime. To be honest, I don't understand how they manage to be so nice. If I owned a hostel, I'd probably be unable to do so. I have stayed at this hostel more than once, and I have to say that I always have an amazing stay. Every time that I have stayed here, the staff helped me plan my time in Thailand.

The hostel was great! The staff was extremely helpful, friendly and professional. The rooms were incredibly clean, no signs of bugs at all, and the location was perfect, not in the hub of everything tourist, but around market areas and near the Sky Rail.

Really liked our stay there and the staff is great! It's also handy that there's a common area downstairs and you can help yourself to some coffee & tea.

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.

Dear guest, Thank you so much for your nice review. It was our pleasure accomodating you. About the bed, we have checked and found that one of the bed parts was missing which made the spring came off. Therefore, we have changed a new bed and everything is ok now. Next time, please feel free to let us know straightaway if there is any matter occurs during your stay. All the best, Urban Age

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.

The management is very hospitable and helpful. We really appreciated the welcome at 2 am (which is when we arrived at the hostel) and directions to places in Bangkok.

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.

Dear guest, Thank you for review. We are so sorry that due to the sturcture of our building hostel, there is no elevator. Although our dorm is on 6th floor, our stairs are quite low, so it is fast and easy to get there. Or, if you do not want to carry your luggage up all the way, our staff are happy to help or we have a storage room on lower floor:) For laundry service, the lacal laundry shop nearby is only a 10-minute nice walk:) Regards, Urban Age

This hostel is in a very central and convenient location. You can easily ride the skytrain (only 5 minutes away) and see all the sights in the city for cheap (no taxis necessary). It's also in a very lively fun location. The night markets open up each evening and there are tons of good bars, restaurants or massages (legitimate ones) nearby. The staff was also incredibly helpful, friendly and spoke great English. We asked many questions and they were always great at offering opinions and advice.

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