Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and had new bed sheets, but the lack of clear instructions for the TVs was a downside. The dorm room had only one air-conditioner and fixed fans, making it uncomfortably hot in certain areas.

The hotel offers a cozy and laid-back atmosphere, ideal for those looking to relax. The rooms are basic, and the smell of smoking inside was a downside. The communal areas provide a casual space for guests to unwind, but the distance from major tourist spots may be inconvenient for some.

I felt like I was squeezed into a cozy and comfy hostel bed, great value for money despite paying extra for a specifically female room that is well ventilated. The location was slightly far from tourist attractions but was great near the BTS. The dining was good with fish and meat dishes. The facilities were well-equipped.

I had a mixed experience with the room setup, as I was squeezed into a hostel bed despite paying extra for a female-only room. The single air-conditioner and stationary fans made one side of the room uncomfortably hot. The location was great, near the BTS and had convenient facilities nearby. The dining options were limited but the staff was friendly and helpful.

My stay at the hotel was cozy and comfy, offering great value for money. The room, although quite small, was perfect for our first day. The location was really nice, being close to the skytrain and very central, but it was slightly far from tourist attractions like the grand palace and Khao San Road. The service was top-notch, and the prices were very reasonable for such a central location. The dining experience was delightful with homemade products, making it a great stay overall.

The hostel's location is incredibly strategic, near the BTS station and offering some of the best street food experiences in Thailand right across the street. The rooms are spacious but encountered some issues with a smoking odor during the stay. The prices are very reasonable, considering the ritzy location.

Arriving in the room at 3 a.m., I was surprised by the smell of smoking inside and just a couple of fans for airflow. The dorm room lacked privacy for getting changed. Despite these issues, the hotel offers good value for money with a convenient location.

The hotel has a wonderful location, easily accessible via BTS and near restaurants and street foods. The rooms were basic with just a couple of fans in the dorm room at night, but still suitable for getting changed. The service was efficient and convenient, offering typical amenities like dry cleaning and laundry. Despite minor drawbacks, the hotel is a decent choice for budget-conscious travelers.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel! The location was perfect, near the BTS station and within walking distance to the trendy Sukhumvit area. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the lack of proper air conditioning made one side of the room very hot. The service was good, with helpful staff available for any needs. However, the abundance of 'special' massage places nearby might not be everyone's cup of tea.

The hotel is a good spot for backpackers looking to relax and save money, near the city and the BTS station. The female room, although well-ventilated, may not offer significant difference. Enjoyed the convenience of being on the 5th floor!
