Hotel Details

Location

A 3-minute walk from Khao San Road, with quick access to Grand Palace and major temples.

The hostel sits in the Bangkok Old Town district, a short walk from Khao San Road's nightlife and restaurants. Temple of the Golden Mount is 2 km away, Temple of the Emerald Buddha 3 km, and Grand Palace 4 km. The area is well-served by public transport; the Chao Phraya hop-on hop-off boat pier is a 10-minute walk. Don Mueang International Airport is 25 km away, reachable by taxi or Grab in about an hour. Despite being close to the main attractions, the hostel is set on a quiet tributary canal, offering a peaceful retreat after sightseeing.

Dining

Self-catering kitchen with free coffee, tea, water, and daily free ice cream 3-5 PM.

The hostel provides a shared kitchen with a fridge, microwave, sink, and free hot drinks (coffee, tea, Ovaltine) and chilled water around the clock. A highlight is the daily free ice cream offered during the 3-5 PM happy hour, much appreciated in Bangkok's heat. The property does not serve cooked meals, but a wide variety of restaurants are within a 5-minute walk, including Khao Tom Bawon (0.5 km), Patonggo Restaurant (0.5 km), and many others. The communal balcony overlooking the canal is a popular spot for enjoying self-prepared breakfast or takeaway food.

Leisure

Peaceful canal-facing terraces and a shared lounge with board games.

Leisure options are low-key but intentional. The hostel has two outdoor terraces with seating overlooking the canal, providing quiet spots for reading or relaxing away from the street noise. Indoors, the shared lounge offers comfortable seating, a TV, and board games for casual entertainment. There is no pool, gym, or spa, making this property better suited to guests who prefer quiet downtime and socialising over active wellness facilities.
