    The curtains are very loud on the beds. I personally didnt have great sleeps because of some people coming into the room late, but I’m a light sleeper and that’s just hostel stuff. Would totally stay here again.

    Awesoke hostel. Great spaces in terms of comfort and socialization. Lots of chairs and places to sit, kitchen is great. Free breakfast of bread, peanut butter and jelly was so good. James and David are great. Tons of bathrooms. Comfy beds. Quiet side street, but not far from night life.

    Hidden gem in bkk

    Maybe the bed is a little firm for some.

    A hidden gem for a laid back time in bkk. The staff are super helpful and friendly, there’s loads of great books, free breakfast of homemade bread with homemade jams, peanut butter and dolce de leite, TV room with ps5 and Netflix. Seems to attract good guests too and cultivates a really homely atmosphere. The immediate surrounding area is calm but you’re close to night market and other food options. Close to metro, buses and river for transport to the rest of the city. Cheap laundry place 2 minute walk away. Highly recommend

    Best place ever! The staff is so friendly and the people staying there too. You can choose to be social or to just chill in one of many cozy parts in the hostel! I met so many nice people there! I extended my stay twice and will be back soon! James and David are amazing!

    Only thing I could think of was there were a few mosquitos in one of the bathrooms, plus the bathrooms could be ventilated better as they were really stuffy, especially after a shower. But really minor compared to the good things!

    Honestly my favourite hostel I’ve been to in Bangkok. Really relaxing atmosphere, nice social areas and a big tv with Netflix, nice people, especially the staff - David and James were super helpful and friendly. Plenty of toilets and showers, quiet at night, plus free toast and jams for breakfast!

    Can hardly think of something

    This is probably the best hostel I’ve ever stayed at. The staff is kind and helpful, the common areas feel cozy, you have everything you need to cook (which is quite rare in South East Asia). All the little details are thought of, sleeping light above your bed, soap in the bathroom, the « honesty market » you can get eggs and pasta from.. And the vibe is relaxed and wholesome. Cheers to James for his amazing work.

    Staff wasn't unfriendly, but not super outgoing either. Beds were a bit uncomfortable in my opinion.

    Lounge area and homemade bread every morning was incredible. So filling for most of the day.

    Everything is great!

    The place is a real gem indeed. James and David (the hosts) do a really good job. The always helped me with advice and were nice and welcoming generally. The place itself has several floors. You can chill on the second one or watch a movie on the top one. It is also good for solo travellers as everybody pretty much gathers in the morning to eat freshly baked bread and delicious peanut butter. Booked for 3 days but stayed a week. It is also worth mentioning that the place is clean as the cleaning lady works pretty much every day. Can be a lil bit messy in the evening due to a big number of people but generally cleaniness is well-maintained, which is a hugeeeee plus!

    The area is not the best but the staff and the facilities more than make up for that.

    The area is very cosmopolitan. On the flip side the staff are amazing, the facilities are class I could ask for more. Very highly recommended

    Like the other comments have said - this is definitely a hostel made by someone who knows what it’s like to travel. It’s such a great vibe. No reception, just a homely kitchen. One thing I found amazing about the place was how unbelievably clean it was, despite it being kept like a home, run on trust. There are books everywhere and great places to chill. Love this hostel and would definitely come back.

    That I had to leave!

    Everything was great! I booked it because of its high rating and it didn't disappoint! I met such amazing people at this place and I'm sure it's the hostel itself that attracts people who are respectful and cool. Despite it being new, the owners and staff are doing their best to make guests feel welcome and comfortable. Really it was the best experience I've had in a long time. They serve delicious homemade fresh bread, jam, manjar for breakfast (and I don't normally eat breakfast!)

    It's the first time that I'm coming back to the same hostel, and it's happening for a good reason. It really looks like a hostel that was planned by a solo traveler that knows what's important and what's not. It is super easy to socialise here, but still chill, it's not a party hostel. The beds are comfy, and the showers are clean. James is awesome and will do whatever it takes in order to make your stay more pleasant.

    Little light coming from the main window of the big dorm if you sleep in the upper bed not the best

    The vibe is absolutely incredible. It feels like home, the common area with the kitchen makes everything very cosy and sociable. Staff very helpful and accommodating. Breakfast is fresh homemade bread homemade peanut butter and homemade jam plus fresh amazing coffee. I mean what else?

    Feels Like Staying In A Home Rather Than Hostel. HOMEMADE BREAD, PEANUT BUTTER, AND JAM!!!

    There's a good reason for the high rating. It's well-deserved. You don't find many hostels that feel like a home nowadays. The owner is from Chile and he's around most days just hanging out. He bakes fresh bread in the evening for breakfast as well as churns his own peanut butter and makes his own jams. They have a little "honest market" if you want some snacks or eggs. Breakfast isn't listed as included, but it's there and it's the one thing everyone raves about. Bangkok is a logistic stop for a lot of people and this was such a nice home base. I spent a couple of days just lounging around, chatting, drinking coffee, and editing some photos. There's lounge spaces in different nooks of the hostels, so you can hang out with others or alone. A very social hostel in this aspect. You can order food from the stalls right out front and just bring it back and eat it at the hostel. The location is great with lots of restaurants and businesses around. I'd be happy to stay here again whenever I'm back in Bangkok. Plenty of restroom and showers outside if someone's already using the one in the room. Can't say a single bad thing about this place. There are also so many great books around if you want to read or buy.

    Sometimes during video calls, the Wi-Fi was weak and caused the video to freeze.

    I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS HOSTEL!! I kept extending my stay. All the staff genuinely care about both the hostel and their guests so much. (I even wish they could be more relaxed and take some rest.) Towels and an amazing homemade breakfast are provided for free. Wifi works fine anywhere. The common area is air-conditioned and offers plenty of space for socializing. It's a very sociable hostel at all times. In the female dorm, there's even a balcony to hang your clothes.
