About

Dear Bangkok (And Backpacker Friends),

We owe you an apology..

For far too long, you’ve been stuck with a bunch of wannabe party and social hostels. And frankly, we do not accept that the biggest, baddest city in the world should be without the biggest, baddest hostel in the world.
So... here we are. 😏

Let’s get weird.

So what can you expect from one of the most award-winning hostel brands on the planet?
(As decided by Hostelworld, not us… we’re just here to share the facts.)

You can expect:

- The best damn Tours this side of the Mehkong ✅
- A team (Family) that genuinely cares about your stay, making your trip unforgettable is our mandate ✅
- Epic parties / Wild adventures ✅
- Instant friendships that last long after checkout ✅

➡ If you’re looking to level up your hostel game, you’ve found the right place.
➡ If you’re looking for just another bed for the night, keep browsing.

Are You Ready?!? We cannot wait to see you soon!!!

I had an incredible experience here! Cruz and Pari were amazing tour guides on the canal tour, and the pub crawl was a blast. All of the staff were truly so kind and accommodating (Leo at the front desk always had a smile on his face), the beds were quite comfortable, and everything very clean! I felt very welcomed, and it was a great hostel for making friends as a solo traveler. Do be aware that the nearby clubs are loud late in to the night, a price to pay for the prime location.
