8.5Verified guest“I loved cycling around and the free WiFi made it easy to share photos. The continental breakfast was excellent. Only downside: the TV in the common area was so interesting I nearly forgot to explore.”
8.5Verified guest“Staff, especially receptionist Tum, were incredibly kind and helpful. The hostel had everything I needed—fruits, tea, biscuits, coffee. Lobby was spacious with nice seating inside and out. Check-in was fast, with a secure key deposit. Dorms were well-laid-out with comfortable beds, curtains, lock boxes, and reading lights. Bathrooms were spacious with hairdryers. The quiet location was convenient to restaurants, bike rentals, and temples. Nothing to complain about.”
8.5Verified guest“The lobby is huge and nicely decorated, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Check-in was quick and only required a 200 THB key deposit. Dorms are spacious with comfy beds and privacy curtains. Air-conditioning works well, and each bed has a lock box and reading light. Toilets are clean and have hairdryers. Great location on a quiet street, near restaurants, coffee shops, and a Muay Thai gym.”
