YHA Bangkok Downtown Reviews

the personnels are very accomodating and speaks enough english to explain.

Terrible hostel. Badly managed, dirty bathrooms, roaches... Besides being incredibly small the rooms have been divided by drywall and transluscent plastic shields that give u no privacy, u can hear everything! Theres no management or staff, when we arrived at checkin time (around 2pm) there was a post saying that lunch time was from 10am-3pm... Give me a break! First time we've seen something like that! Staff has to be there during checkin and checkout at least... The cleaning lady checked us in

The double room we stayed in was very squishy, but the air conditioning worked. The wooden floor outside the shared shower and toilet were rotten and the hallway smelled like a urinal. The staff are really nice though! They are super helpful and enthusiastic. The hostel is very close to the Chong Nonsi train station as well. I did not think it was worth 20$/night though.

The taxis driver couldn't find the place from the airport so we drove around for a while before I just said khao son road, and ended up getting there around 4 am... it was not the best time after a 21 hour flight. I had to pay full price for the room which I did not stay in. Even though I used the exact address they had on the website, the driver couldn't find it. I should have looked at their 'directions' page for clarification or had their number to call for directions, lesson learned.

Location excellent, but facility really suck. Especially shared toilet facility. You sit on the bowl, half your butt is pressing against a cold wall. Shower drips in the afternoon because the whole building's water pressure is only high enough after work hour... OK if you just need a place to sleep.

The hostel was easy to get to when taking the BTS sky train. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was simple but clean.
