About

We are in a traditional Thai / Chinese building, featuring a beautiful in house balcony and interesting but somewhat quirky architectural elements.

Downstairs is a cozy lounge with plenty of sofas and tables. We provide guitars, chessboards, a book exchange, free city bikes and maps for discovering Bangkok's forgotten neighborhoods and self-catering facilities such as a refrigerator, boiler, toaster, microwave and cutlery.

Our small cafe is just around the corner, which offers plenty of vegetarian Thai and Western options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We use only high quality ingredients from the local markets and royal farming project.

Don't miss out on our local weekly events such as street soccer nights, night bike tours, club and night market nights.

If travel information is needed, we also run a travel agency called Born Free Travel, so guests may inquire or book transportation, tours and accommodation in Thailand directly on-site.

This hostel has three dormitory style rooms and one private room.

A basic 10 bed mixed dorm with shared bathroom. The Room has rotating fans on the ceiling for the top bunks and a small private fan for each bottom bunk.

A standard 12 bed mixed dorm with air condition and shared bathroom. This Room has a more creative bunk bed setup in which dividers can be removed allowing couples and good friends to sleep next to each other. Every bed has a reading light, personal pouch and a comfortable thick blanket.

A superior 6 bed mixed dorm with air condition. The room has an en suite bathroom with hot water and a cozy balcony with comfortable sofas. Every bed has a reading light, personal pouch and a comfortable thick blanket. This dorm is also suitable as a private room.

Summary of traveller reviews

Born Free Hostel in Bangkok offers a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, perfect for travellers seeking a chill vibe. Guests appreciate the great location, close to Khao San Road, and the helpful staff. The common areas are cosy and inviting, and the resident cats add a unique charm. Some recent reviews mention that beds lack privacy curtains and that bathrooms could be cleaner, but overall it's a solid choice for a budget stay.

This was actually an amazing hostel- my last review was so innacurate do not ever go near Shine Power the dudes insane. But yeah this one, Born Free, SO SO NICE. Its a 10 min walk to Kao Sahn and you have to take your shoes off before you enter kind of vibe. So peaceful quiet clean and safe. Definitely not a party hostel. You will sleep like a baby
