"I loss my all Cash from my bed Management Not helpful be careful I spent all day in Police station No one help me be careful wit"
On 18 August 2025, while staying in the 24-bed dorm (room 507, 5th floor) in bed number 16, I discovered my bag was missing. It contained three mobile phones, VND 10,700,000, 370 TB, $55, my bank card, and other important documents. Using Google’s mobile tracking, I found my bag near a dustbin on the 4th floor. While I was fortunate to recover my phones and documents, all the cash was missing. The hostel management identified another guest (bed 15) as the one who moved my bag, but they refused to take responsibility. I was sent with a receptionist to the police station and spent the entire day there without food or water. Throughout the day, no one from the hostel, including the owner or manager, contacted me or provided any assistance despite my repeated requests. I remain without my lost cash and have received no communication from management. Questions for the hostel: Who is responsible for customer security? Why were my requests for assistance ignored? Why hasn’t the hostel filed a police complaint against the individual responsible? Why has the CCTV footage not been shared with me? I expect clear answers regarding the handling of this incident and accountability for the security failure.
"Good Vibrant Hostel, But Food Rules Not Enforced & Bathrooms Needs Clean More Often"
I stayed in dorm 502 on the 5th floor for four nights and had a generally good and comfortable experience. Entry to the hostel is via the ground-floor café, which is a fantastic social space, and there’s also a rooftop area—partly air-conditioned and partly open—that’s perfect for hanging out. Check-in was smooth at the 5th-floor reception, with lifts available (or stairs if preferred). The hostel prefers cash payments, or a 5% surcharge for credit cards. The dorm room was small and windowless, and despite a dehumidifier, ventilation was an issue. Privacy curtains on the bunks could make it hot and humid, but leaving them slightly open helped. The bunks are solid, custom-made, and well-equipped with individual lights, electrical outlets, and foldaway desks. Lockers under the lower bunks were large enough for big backpacks and could be locked securely. Bathrooms and showers are on the 4th floor, with ample hot water, liquid soap, and sufficient facilities even during busy periods, though cleanliness could be improved. The bathroom arrangement is unusual and may take some getting used to. The location in Chinatown is excellent, with countless restaurants nearby, and the Wat Mangkon MRT station just 5–10 minutes away. Despite daytime activity, the area is quiet at night. Overall, the hostel offers a vibrant atmosphere, thoughtful amenities, and everything you’d want from a hostel, making it a great choice for travelers.
"Great location in the heart of Chinatown"
This hostel is modern, clean, and ideally located in the heart of Chinatown. A vibrant food market right outside offered delicious meals, which we enjoyed on a couple of evenings. The stay included a free breakfast from a small pancake truck nearby, and the beds were comfortable. Overall, a highly recommended option for travelers looking to explore Chinatown.
"Arrival in Bangkok"
We stayed at this hostel for one night before our flight to Chiang Mai. While the surrounding area isn’t the most picturesque, it felt safe due to the busy streets of Chinatown. Our private room was small with only one window, but considering the price, the cost-benefit ratio was very reasonable. The reception staff were friendly and welcoming, and the bathrooms were clean. Overall, our short stay was comfortable and pleasant.
"Great base for Chinatown"
I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel, conveniently located just a 2-minute walk from Chinatown’s main street—close enough to explore, but far enough to avoid nighttime noise. A nearby metro station made commuting around the city easy. I stayed in a female dorm and had the chance to meet some great people both in the room and on the rooftop. The staff were attentive, helpful, and spoke excellent English. Bathrooms were cleaned regularly, the rooms had good air conditioning, and each bed featured privacy curtains with ample locked storage underneath. Thoughtful lighting solutions made it easy to find your belongings without disturbing others. Overall, I would definitely recommend this hostel as a comfortable and well-located base for exploring Chinatown.
"Good experience"
Located near Yaowarat Road, this hostel is a great choice for exploring Chinatown. The staff are very friendly and helpful, making check-in and stay smooth. Each bed comes with a locker underneath, so you can securely store your bag instead of leaving it in the middle of the room. The only downside is that the toilets are not always perfectly clean, though this likely depends more on other guests than the staff. Overall, it’s a convenient and welcoming place to stay.
"Great Hostel"
I stayed in a 4-bed mixed dorm, and the room was very clean. Each bed had a privacy curtain, which was a nice touch. The only downside was that the room had no windows, so it was always dark and required lights to be on. Showers and toilets were very clean, and the common areas were inviting, with a bar offering affordable food and drinks. The only issue occurred on the last night when the air conditioning in our room was turned off, making it extremely hot and stuffy, which made sleeping difficult. Overall, it’s a comfortable and well-maintained hostel with great amenities.
"Neat and modern hostel, but not the fun and meetings you might hope for."
This was my first hostel experience, and the place is neat and modern. The beds are very firm, which I actually preferred over soft ones. Comfort was as expected for a hostel stay. I also hoped to enjoy the social and fun aspects of hostel life, but it was a bit hard to find in this location. Overall, a clean and basic option for first-time hostel guests.
"Disappointing"
Luk Hostel is still under construction, so it doesn’t yet look like the photos on the website, which only show planned designs—especially in the common areas. Rooms are spread across three floors, but the washrooms are only on one floor, which is inconvenient at night. Of the six showers in the female washroom, only two have doors that can fully close. The hostel also doesn’t offer the daily activities advertised, which was one of the main reasons I chose this place. When I asked the front desk, they mentioned organizing something but had no clear plan and didn’t inform guests in advance. I also found a used condom next to my bed and informed the staff. Although they offered to change the sheets, they went ahead and changed them while I was out, without addressing the cleaning I requested. Additionally, the lockers under the beds are not secure—locks can be bypassed easily, allowing someone to access your belongings. Overall, the stay was disappointing due to incomplete facilities, lack of advertised services, and poor attention to guest concerns.
"Average Experience"
We really enjoyed our stay at Luk Hostel, which is perfectly located in the heart of the city. We stayed in a private room and shared the bathroom with other guests. The bed was very firm, but we got used to it, and the swamp cooler in the room was a welcome relief after a long day in the humidity. The bathrooms were adequate, though they could have been a bit cleaner. Considering the low price, the stay met our expectations. Overall, if you’re looking for an affordable, no-frills place in a central location, we would recommend Luk Hostel.
