YHA Bangkok Downtown Reviews

If you are looking for simple, cheap and basic accommodation YHA Bangkok Downtown is suitable for a comfortable stay.

i stayed there as the hostel is 1 min walking from the bts train '' chong nasi '' very pratical if you have to catch the train from huaphalong train station or just go shopping .The staff is good ,, speak excellent english .Then for sure you get what you get for the price ,,, no kitchen ,, just a patio where you can relax but obviously in the same street you ll find a plenty of street food and restaurant .

Very friendly staff and good value for money. A nice simple hostel near the skytrain.

Great staff, value for money and close to SkyTrain!

Beware of the cockroaches in the bathroom!

Directions were good, but entrance is not on Silom. Also note that despite what is says on their site, a surcharge DOES apply for credit cards. Front desk guy very helpful and friendly.

My 3-night stay here in 4-dorm was pretty good. Arrived at 1:30am with clear instructions to get my room key. Staff were usually very friendly and helpful, like giving directions and generally positive. The manager also let me stay in the common room to keep using WiFi for hours after my checkout, which I really appreciated. The other guests were interesting and friendly. On the downside, it was small, cramped, stuffy, and the A/C is set only to run during the night (with day fans). Lame b-fast.

Staff friendly and helpful. My air-co broke and I got a room change. He also provided me with a lot of answers :). Location is great, 3 minutes walking from BTS (train/metro). Easy to get around. Room very clean & cosy. Just behind the hostel there is a local place for typical Thai breakfast (50BHT). Also at night when you are jet-lagged, from 5 minutes walking you can find a night market with good restaurants. They advise there is no lift up to 5th floor fair enough! Good for our legs!

Great hostel right next to the Chong Nonsi BTS station (just a few stops from Siam Square, and very near the attractions on Silom). The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the hostel's facilities were good. The bathroom and shower could use some better locks, though that's really one of the only negatives I can think of. I would certainly recommend this place to others and would consider staying here again. I've been to several hostels in Bangkok, and this one has been the best value.

Great staff, accessible location, nice rooms. Not much social interaction opportunity with fellow guests but thats not what I was looking for anyway. I would definitely recommend this hostel. The only negative thing I would say is that the bathrooms leave something to be desired.

Friendly staff, small but clean room, shared bathroom cleaned every day, breakfast pretty light but at least something, location close to skytrain and Phat Pong.

the staff here are very friendly, we arrived at 5 in the morning but we could get in and sleep on the sofas. Breakfast is included and although it is not the best it keeps you going for a bit after a night bus! The location is great near to the metro and food outlets. The only downside is we couldn't check in till 2 which was a shame. We were in the 4 bed dorm and it was very light and comfortable

2nd Stay in this hostel, only for one night this time round. Staff still smiling and great help. Took the city train from the airport then the sky train, so easy to find! Great stay, highly recommend this place to anyone!

YHA was in a good location which was about the best thing it had, the staff wernt very helpful and spoke only very little english. the hostel wasnt very clean and smelt strongly of mothballs. the beds were very hard and small so not the best hostel to stay at but it was ok and avalible when we needed it.

The front desk lady very friendly and helpful

Good to live near metro station. But not so close to scenic spots. Anyway, it is a cheap hostel, as one receptionist kept saying..

The staff leave the front desk at 11pm, so you need your card with you. Very cold in the room cause in ours we were sharing the aircon with the another room. Location: very close to the subway, but anything special in the area. Good value for the money but I think I wouldn't stay again otherwise...

yeh it was all good...friendly, value and clean... wish i hadn't left my favourite blue trekking towel there buddy.. keep it till next time for me? fully recommended

LOVED THIS PLACE!Great location for skytrain, the rooms were very clean and good size, beds comfy.The staff are super friendly, so genuine and happy ALL THE TIME, they made me feel very welcome. Great price and lots of lockers and secure places for your luggage etc. Hot showers and a balcony to hang any clothes etc. Free wifi(expect in 8 bed dorms). The day trip to floating market/rose garden was not worth it however this was not operated by the hostel so they were not to blame.I miss this place

Had a good stay there. The Staff is very friendly and helpfull. Room very small but was okay for me, make sure aircondition is not to cold for you because you can not change by yourself or turn off because is for more rooms. Finally i can recommend.
