Urban Hostel Bangkok was an excellent private room with bathroom for a very reasonable price. The size of the room was fantastic, and the bed was very comfortable. I was grateful for the powerful AC too. It was also wonderful to have fresh bottled water provided by the hostel. I thought the building was clean and up to date. WiFi was decent, too. The staff was also friendly, and check-in was hassle-free. The only thing that was a downside for me was the location. It was a bit of a walk from the MRT station, and since it was my first time in Bangkok, I was unprepared for cutting across traffic (but I got used to it). You also have to walk a little ways to get to any convenience store. But otherwise, it's a wonderful hostel and I would definitely stay again.

Urban Hostel was a good spot to land after over 24 hours of travel from Detroit to Bangkok. Restful, friendly, clean, simple. Also in a non-touristy neighborhood - bonus.

It felt like home/family

This hostel is amazing. The workers are some of the most respectful and hard-working people I’ve come across. They were always eager to help with questions or issues, and they keep the place absolutely spotless! (You could eat off the floor). I won’t ever stay anywhere else in Bangkok.

Tout est ok mais...

Très bien situé, à deux pas du quartier chinois et de River City d’où partent plein de bateaux. Le personnel est accueillant, surtout l’employée du matin. Les chambres sont très correctes, climatisées (un peu trop...). Les sanitaires sont propres et spacieux. Seul petit hic, tous les services sont en supplément, jusqu’à la deuxième couverture pour ne pas finir en Miko dans le lit lorsque la clim est en forme... Mais sinon ok, le roof top est top.

良いところから⑤つ挙げますと ①深夜の時間帯でもチェックインに対応してくれた。 元の予定でも深夜1時過ぎだったが、飛行機の遅れで さらに遅くなって、3時前になってしまったが、待っていてくれた。 ②ドミトリーにしては綺麗（私が知る範囲ですが） ③トイレが壊れていないし、シャワーからお湯が出る。 （私の知る範囲では、大体どこかが壊れている事が多い） ④玄関の斜め前に屋台があり、裏手にはコンビにもあるので便利 ⑤最も重要！　安い！ 悪いところは、やや観光地から離れているので 探すときは、グーグルマップを凝視しながら探さないと難しいかも セーフティボックスは当然ないので、完全自己管理です。はい 一旦到着してしまえば、朝から屋台で食べて ２０分弱も歩けば、船着場のリバーシティに着けるはずなので （絶対に迷うのでグーグルマップ必須！）、乗船後 ワットアルンかワットポー辺りで下船すれば、市内観光が始められます。 ファランポーン駅も近いので、アユタヤにも行けますよ。 ただ　繁華街で遊びをメインに考えている方には、ロケーションが良くないですね。

Good location a few minutes from the ferry that will take you to all the sites and the train station that goes to Ayutthaya and close to Chinatown. Also not in the touristy area so food is much cheaper than near the big sites. If they are offering a private room with 2 bunk beds it means you will be getting the whole 8 bed dorm room to yourself, it was very nice. Very clean, good air-conditioning.

Amazing location, sooo close to khao san road and great sights around. Staff was very helpful, AC was exceptional and the bathrooms were clean. Only downside would be that you can hear the music from khao san road up until 12 am maybe a little later..

Kaikki tilat todella siistit, huone mukava ja ok, sijainti keskellä "aitoa" Bangkokia, lyhyt matka Hua Lampongin metroasemalle (noin 10 min kävellen) ja kävelymatka Chinatowniin, yhteinen parveke/terassi todella kiva. Kauppa miltei kulman takana ja ovesta ulos astuttaessa löytää ruokakojuja ja tuoreita hedelmiä. Pieni miinus meluisasta sijainnista, mitä voi tosin olla hankala tässä kaupungissa välttää. Kaikenkaikkiaan todella miellyttävä paikka ja kokemus!

The hostel is really clean and comfortable. There is everything you need : Washing machine, plates, fridge, ... The common areas are spacious and make you feel at home. The owner was really kind : He saw me on the way with my backpack and gave me a ride to the hotel. That was really kind of him! I will definitively come back.
