Everything was perfect! Very thoughtful and pleasant aesthetic, very clean and the staff were so lovely. Beds comfy, wifi strong, a well oiled machine all around. I can see why it is such a popular choice. And the location means that everything within the old city is within a 15 minute walk. Thank you for a wonderful stay 🙏

Amazing owners, do everything to make you feel at home. The bunks give you a lot of privacy because of the curtain, each with it's own fan and reading light.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The staff and the Hostel. Warm and welcoming, clean and modern. I kept extending my stay and stayed for almost two weeks. The ladies that work there and the owner are super helpful and friendly and ready to help with anything. Free filter water and coffee and tea, they have a fridge and microwave you can use and you can do your laundry and use the tumbledryer for cheap. Great mobile coffee van right around the corner. Sunday night street market right behind them. Safe to walk around at night.

Great location, small social yet quiet no party hostel, met lovely people here. Very good value for money, good aircon, clean, clean bathroom and bedding, very pleasant atmosphere and common area to relax, study, read, work..very helpful and kind hosts. There is a small spa just at the corner run by a sweet lady who also does laundry at a very good price, very convenient. Felt very safe here and slept really well in the female dorm. Locker keys and fresh towel are provided at 300 Baht deposit. I’ll be back.
