    Awesome Stay!!!”

    Staying at pillow hostel was a last-minute decision and it was probably one of the best decisions we had ever made. We arrived very early at the airport and was tired, but we were able to check-in at a very flexible time. The staff were very friendly and the location is just perfect as it's pretty close to most tourist spots in Bangkok. Though it was close to Khao San road, we had a good sleep. Amenities were like that of a basic hostel, but who are we to complain. Overall I'd give it a 9 out of 10 (Cos nobody's perfect right?). Would definitely recommend this place to travellers, or groups like us. Really had an awesome time here, wish we could've stayed longer.

    Great Location. Friendly Staff”

    Right at the heart of Khaosan road for all the party seekers. The clubs, pubs, bars nearby makes it the ideal place to stay at Khaosan Road. The lady who seemed to be the owner was helpful beyond words. We were in a family room which is at the top most floor so the noise didn't bother us much from the club downstairs but if you were to be in a hostel in the lower storeys you might have to bear up the boom from the music. Ideal if you are planning to party until late night. All in all great place to stay and i would definitey stay here again.

    This hostel is located in the middle of Khao San Rd. if you want a happy sleep during night time please find other hotel far away from this area. You can hear every single rhythm of cd/live band music but if you're happy with it just go ahead book this hostel. Staff are away nice and smile widely, not too much condition upon check-in process. I booked 2 rooms, there were cleaned as normal hostel standard, I can immediately sit on the room floor without hesitate. The price worth staying in budget hostel. Recommended!!

    Good, but very loud.”

    This resort is just off of Khaosan road, is in a good location, and is reasonably priced. The place is clean and the staff are friendly. Apart from the room being extra damp (even for BKK), the only issue is the noise from the nightclub adjacent to this building. If you're into listening to 30 second rotations of R&B and hip hop music with poorly added base until 3am, I suggest renting a room here.

The staff, specially the old lady, were nice. Location is perfect as the hostel is accessible to everything you need in Khao San.

    It is what you paid for. Bedrooms are very small! Staff not very helpful. It is however in the center of khaosan road which makes it very easy for you to get around Bangkok. There are a ton of restaurants, coffee shops and supermarkets around. Only issue is: noise !!!! If you are not in the mood to party don't stay here! You will listen to load music till 3am every nighy

    The location is good because it is in the heart of Khaosan Road. However there is a bar beside the hostel so at night you won't be able to have a good sleep. The loud bass is vibrating in our room. The staffs are good tho, they will help you carry your baggage upstairs since they don't have elevator.

    Prison cell?”

    This hostel was honestly disgraceful even by Khao San standards, and the only reason we stayed here is because we were getting picked up from there at 4.30am. Firstly, we were ‘greeted’ at reception by the least friendly woman I’ve met in Thailand - and I live here - even after addressing her in Thai. Secondly, we got the basic private room with twin beds. The smell of mold was so horrific when we opened the door that I don’t know how I slept at all. The room is tiny and windowless/claustrophobic, the mold in the bathroom is awful (see pics) and also full of cobwebs/dust, and the bed was of course rock hard. It also didn’t have a blanket, so I went to ask reception and was told one of the 2 towels on my bed WAS the blanket. It was only slightly bigger than the regular towel, and definitely didn’t keep you warm when you have the A/C on. Good location in between Khao San and Soi Rambuttri, but would literally never stay here again.

    Cheap hotel in Kaoshan road ”

    Very near to Lomprayah bus stop walking only few minutes, arrived very late 1am so choose this hotel, very convenient just inside night market. Room is small but clean tidy
