Most comfortable bunk beds I've ever stayed at!”

I booked a bed in the female only dorm and I had the best sleep out of all the dorms I've stayed at. The top of my bunk (the bottom bunk) was double the size of my last bed. I could stretch my feet to the ceiling and still not touch the top bunk. The beds have 2 curtains, one lacy one to let light in but allow for privacy, and the other one is a blackout curtain. You have many hooks in your bunk bed and you also get a locker inside the room. The hostel has a beautiful rooftop terrace and a clean washroom. In the kitchen they provide free cereal and milk. You can also heat up food and store them in the fridge. The best thing about it is the location - just a 15 baht ferry ride to many sites (Khaosan Road, Wat Arun, Wat Pho, Asiatique, IconSiam and Saphan Taksin to connect to the BTS). The only downside is that they don't do laundry.

Couldn't have picked a better hostel to relax in Bangkok”

I booked hostel Urby after a meditation retreat, so coming back to Bangkok was a bit daunting. Hostel Urby was the best choice I made- it sits on the river with a lovely view from the balcony over the city. The Dorms have the perfect cubby hole beds with curtains and ice cold air con (duvet's provided). The common areas are large, bright, clean and modern. I spent two days chilling here in and out of the hostel. There's tea, coffee, cereal and a microwave for making your own foods and drinks which they allow you to bring in. The bathrooms are cleaned every day twice a day and are really nice. The staff are so friendly and welcoming giving advice whenever they can. There's a little bar attached to the hostel with beers and coffee etc. It actually felt really fancy so I'd give 10 stars for Value for money if I could. Next time i'm back in Bangkok i won't look anywhere else, I'm staying here again 100%.

Most Astonishing Hostel I've Seen”

I only stayed at this hostel for three nights. I would honestly stay at this hostel longer, but I just really needed 3 nights in Bangkok. This is probably the chillest hostel I have ever booked. I was in love of the view that was in the back of the hostel. You guys really have to check that out. It is amazing. But everything about this hostel was perfect. The bed was comfortable, the whole building of the hostel (including the facilities) is spotless, the wifi was good and the staff was awesome. I wanna thank you to Hong or Kong (I can't remember his name lol) but he made my stay miraculous!

i stayed in hostel urby for a little over two weeks and truly enjoyed my stay. the facilities are very clean, as there is almost always someone cleaning the hostel. the beds are extra spacious with lots of headspace so you can sit comfortably in your own bunk. the curtains provide a lot of privacy and pretty much block out any light. the terrace with the view of the river and city is lovely with wonderful sunrises and sunsets. the location is in chinatown and a short walk from the MRT. the staff is so sweet and kind. i missed this place as soon as i left. i will return here the next time i’m in bangkok.

COZY & AFFORDABLE HOSTEL NEAR CHINATOWN ”

Love this hostel so much! everything was clean, cozy and every corner is instagramable. What I love the most is the balcony facing the Chao Phraya River, soo nice to eat breakfast there or even watch sunset. What I love most about the area is that it's only minutes away from Chinatown with lots of street food and activities at night. The two staff ( day and night shift) were very friendly and accommodating to all our needs they gave us a tour to explain every corner of the hostel. CONS: There's no elevator so if you have a lot of luggage, you might need the receptionist's help. ( they are so helpful!)

Ughh, that river view is fantastic”

Just great and helpful staff. Clean beds and common areas. I think it also good to note that the place is well designed -- very hip yet clean minimalist. Very convenient location -- Chinatown area, near a river boat station, and there is also a nearby train station (which can bring you to the Suvarnabhumi Airport). Just awesome stay here. But more than that, always consider that this place has the best view of Siam River.

Unmatched balcony view of the river”

A convenient place to be at -- you are already in Chinatown, near a river boat station, also near (1km away) from the train station. Beds are large. The place is always kept clean and tidy. The staff is awesome and helpful. This place is just simply great considering the location and price, and most especially that river view at the balcony. Very relaxing. I always have my morning coffee and cereals in the balcony.

Excellent place ”

This is my second time in Hostel Urby. I love the place because it is near China Town, MRT Station, and other tourist spots. Bed and mattresses are comfortable. The entire place is cozy, clean and well maintained. Staff are friendly and very helpful. The only downside is that the hostel is in the 3rd floor of the building and there is no elevator, just stairs. For us girls, carrying a suitcase/luggage is a bit of a struggle. Overall, it's a great place to stay!!!

Couldn't ask for better location in Bangkok and comfortable stay in the hostel with well-thought throughout the whole space. 10 mins drive to Kaosan road, old town area or city/business center of Bangkok.

Amazing view!!! ”

This was my first time in Bangkok. I was so happy I chose this hostel!!! It was so amazing waking up my first morning to see the city in front of me coming to life! And it was just as amazing to see the sunset over Wat Arun. Right in the middle of Chinatown, you can't help but feeling part of the neighborhood. Great rooms, very comfortable bunks. A great place if you enjoy meeting a few wonderful people from all over that just want to enjoy the beauty of the place. The people at reception where fantastic, Very helpful and genuine. There is a bar on premises, and owner is just as friendly and wonderful. The only thing that I thought could be improved where the cleaning times as they were just at same time as people were waking up and having breakfast. Overall, I loved it!!
