Its location is even more convenient than Holiday Inn Express as it is right in front of the National Stadium BTS station. In fact, I learned of this hostel cause I would pass by it on my way back to Holiday Inn.
They have different room types, the dorm, econo twin, econo double and the double deluxe. You can check out photos of the rooms here.
We booked the econo double located on the fourth floor. They don't have a lift so just be ready if you have a heavy luggage.
The room doesn't have its own toilet so Em-J took quite a bit of convincing. Upon getting there, that's what we first checked out. Fortunately, there was nothing to be concerned about. The shared toilet is clean and well maintained. Its also but a few steps away from our room.
My only problem is I normally use the toilet in the wee hours of the morning. Heading out of the room is certainly not as convenient.
Check-in was efficient and the staff were really friendly. The lobby is free for all but you would need your own key card to enter the hotel area.
Facilities:
They have a veranda outside where you can just chill and people watch.
The lobby is quite inviting with several computers and couches if you just want to hang out and meet new friends.
There is a theater on the 2nd floor, it was quiet when we got there but this would be perfect if you are travelling with a big group.
They also have friendly instructions on how to operate the tv and the dvd player.
There is a laundry area as well which I forgot to take a picture of and best of all, you can actually leave your luggage with them even if you're not checked in. They can keep it for you for as long as a month! How nice of them.
They also have different activities planned which you can take part of if you don't have anything planned.
The room with the industrial look is just about the right size.
The bed is comfortable and they have a nook if you feeling like literally rolling out of the bed and using your computer. If you have a problematic back like me, then you'd be glad to know that they have a desk available as well.
Towels are also provided but if you are staying in a dorm, they charge extra for the towels.
While the room is comfortable, I actually didn't like that the airconditioner blows straight at you and try as I might to adjust the fan, it stayed that way.
Overall, our experience was more than satisfactory and I would have no problems staying here again the next time I'm in Bangkok.
