Everyone here is very friendly! The environment is comfortable, clean, and has everything I need. The wifi is fast, the food for breakfast is delicious, and the beds are very comfortable. I've stayed in two different dorm rooms and enjoy the privacy of the curtains and having the security of the lockers. Laundry is available on site and it's super convenient. The plants in the back are lovely. The food offered for sale from the bistro is amazingly delicious. It's a good place to hang out and it's close to pier 4 for water taxi, to the local buses, to Chinatown, and to some "western" amenities (shopping mall, coffee shops). It's plenty quiet and the air conditioning is great. There's a refrigerator to keep things and everything you need in a kitchen to make use of that convenience. I had a late check-in and it was seamless. After a problematic taxi situation, the staff called to report the issue. (Wonderful!) They have helpful info on things to see & do in & around Bangkok. The bathrooms are clean and not crowded like some hostels. Plenty of places to hang things and store personal items. They even provide slippers and plentiful safe drinking water. This place is a delight and I'm so glad to have stayed here my first time in Thailand! I hope to come back! It feels like home away from home. <3 Oh, even the cats are great. They wisely keep distance. :)
