Hotel Details

Location

A 10-minute walk from Hua Lamphong MRT and train station, placing you near Chinatown and local street-food stalls.
The hostel is within a 15-minute walk of Chinatown, Jim Thompson House (3 km), and MBK Center (3 km). The surrounding streets are filled with local food stalls and a 7-Eleven is a one-minute walk away. Don Mueang International Airport is 26 km from the property; public transport connections via the nearby MRT and train station are straightforward, and a paid airport shuttle can be arranged. The area is practical for walking to the river, Talat Noi, and Patpong Night Market, though some streets may feel less pleasant after dark. For longer journeys, the Grand Palace and Wat Arun are about a 1.5-hour walk away.

Accommodation

Private rooms and dorms with air conditioning, soundproofing, and free Wi-Fi. Room types vary in bathroom setup and view.
Private rooms include double, deluxe, superior, and family options, some with private bathrooms featuring a walk-in shower and bidet, while twin rooms and dorms use shared bathrooms. Family rooms come in two configurations: one with a private bathroom and one with a shared bathroom. The deluxe double room has no TV but offers a terrace with city views, a seating area, and a minibar. Dormitory beds each have a privacy curtain and require a lock for the lockers. All rooms are fitted with air conditioning, a washing machine, soundproof walls, and an electric kettle. Upper-floor rooms have access to shared balconies or terraces with skyline views. Road-facing or lower-floor rooms can experience street noise and the sound of the water pump, so lighter sleepers may prefer a room on a higher floor.

Dining

A la carte breakfast available for 120 THB. Snack bar, vending machines, and shared kitchen on-site.
Breakfast can be added at the property for 120 THB. A snack bar and vending machines for drinks and snacks are available. The shared kitchen provides cooking facilities and an outdoor dining area, letting you prepare your own meals. The immediate area is known for an abundance of affordable local street food stalls and restaurants, including Petit Story, 100 Mahaseth, and Hanaya Japanese Restaurant, all within a 0.5 km walk. A 7-Eleven is a one-minute walk away for additional supplies.

Leisure

Shared rooftop terrace and balconies with city views are the main leisure spaces. A tour or class about local culture can be arranged for an additional fee.
The property offers a large shared rooftop terrace and several balconies, providing seating areas and views of the Bangkok skyline - noted as the best feature by many. Board games and puzzles are available in the common area. A paid tour or class about local culture can be arranged. The immediate area is rich in street life and local food, but there are no dedicated wellness facilities such as a pool, spa, or gym on site.

Amenities

Free Wi-Fi, 24-hour front desk, lockers, luggage storage, daily housekeeping, laundry service, and paid airport shuttle.
Wi-Fi is available free of charge in all areas. The 24-hour front desk offers tour desk services, lockers (with a 40 THB fee for a lock), and luggage storage - useful for late arrivals or post-check-out exploration. Daily housekeeping is free; laundry service incurs an additional fee. A paid airport shuttle, including drop-off and pick-up, can be arranged. Public parking costs 100 THB per day, is on-site, and requires a reservation - street parking is also possible. The property has key card access, CCTV, smoke alarms, and fire extinguishers. Accessibility is limited as the building has stairs but no elevator. Pets are not allowed.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Choose a private room on a higher floor if you prefer quieter conditions, as water pump noise and street sounds are more noticeable on lower floors.

  • 02

    Factor in the 100 THB daily parking fee and reserve a spot in advance if arriving by car.

  • 03

    Take advantage of the 24-hour front desk and luggage storage if arriving late or departing after checkout.

  • 04

    Confirm your booking and payment method with the owners before arrival to avoid potential miscommunication.
