One of the best hostel ever!
This is by far one of the best hostel/hotel that I've ever been in! It is super clean, facilities are more than what I expected & useful & I love love love spending time at the commonroom eating the biscuits & coffee :D The staffs are very friendly & very helpful! The simple decorations are so cute & I wish I could stay longer! For muslims traveller, this hostel is near to a lot of halal eateries. It is also located very near to the BTS station so travelling around is easy! Will definitely recommend this to friends & family & we will definitely be back! Thank you for your hospitality!

Great hostel - clean, comfortable, convenient
Loved staying here. The dorms were really clean, comfortable, quiet and nicely designed for privacy and space. Each bed has a privacy curtain and a shelf/locker within the bunk space. Bathrooms also very clean with shampoo/shower gel and hairdryers provided. Staff were friendly and helpful. And the location is perfect. So easy to get to either of the airports (via the BTS line from Phaya Thai and then airport rail link or shuttle bus) or into the city for sightseeing. Highly recommend this place!

One of a kind
Friendly & helpful staff. Good breakfast and variety of fruits. Free snacks (biscuits). It would be nice to have tea. Good wifi, bed is firm and comfortable. Everything is fabulous in Diff Hostel. Only minus points are 1. No human lift for upper floors but there's a lift for luggage 2. Can hear the doors closing and people talking in the corridor at night.

Very friendly and helpful staff. And very nice place and affordable!
Enkelt boende av bättre vandrarhemsstandard. Nytt och rent. Vi bodde i ett dubbelrum, sängen består då av en madrass på upphöjt golv. Bilderna på rummet överensstämmer med verkligheten. Bilderna över utsida och gemensamma utrymmen något förskönade. Ligger ca 6 stationer längs ”cityline” från BKK (flygplatsen). Resan tar 30 min och kostar 45 baht. Frukosten bestod av omelett, rostat bröd med smör och marmelad samt juice och te eller kaffe.

Good Staff, good location.
Staff is nice and helpful. They can provide me good advices on the site seeing spots.
Location is good, very close to BTS and 15 mins distance to airport city line.
No much restaurants nearby but its okay.
My 6-beds female dormitory is big enough. You can open your suitcase.
One problem is there are some insects and mites on my bed. That makes me feel uncomfortable.
There is a mosque nearby. But sound is not too big.
Overall is good.

Barulhento demais (tanto pelas escadas de madeira, como para o elevador (este somente para bagagens)
Sem cama (só o colchão no chão).
Secadores de cabelo também muito barulhentos em frente aos banheiros coletivos.

Convenient Location
You can easily come here from the Airport, because here is within easy walking distance from Phayathai Station.
Also, it is a short walk to go to SIAM.
