"Pleasant stay in a Bangkok Hostel with an cool interesting owner"
This place has everything you need: clean rooms, nice breakfast and coffee service, luggage storage, computers, and even help with booking rides to the airport—just like any good hostel should. The owner is a pleasant, witty, and down-to-earth person; I really enjoyed our short early-morning conversation. The rest of the staff, including some engaging French folks, were also lovely. 5/5 for service without hesitation!
"Quick week in BK and off to Phuket…"
PLOY offers good amenities at a low price, perfect for world travelers on a budget. I stayed for a quick week in Bangkok to see the sights before heading to Phuket and Koh Samui. Thailand is a great backpacker destination, and PLOY fits the bill with both bunks and private rooms with shared baths at fair value. It’s always busy here—no surprise since Bangkok is such a major hub for business and tourism. The place isn’t perfect, but at this price you can’t expect luxury. As long as your expectations match the budget, it’s worth it. Better to save your money for the nightlife, food, and experiences the city has to offer.
"Nice hostel"
We booked a double room as a couple for a two-night stay in Bangkok, and it was exactly what we needed—simple, sufficient, and definitely clean. Breakfast is included in the already very affordable price and was decent. The street is calm, so we slept well without too much noise (a big plus in Bangkok!). Overall, a good stay and great value for the price.
"Budget stay but clumsy"
The hostel is in a convenient location—Bus No. 21 from Suvarnabhumi Airport drops you within walking distance. However, our booking voucher listed check-in and check-out as 00:00–00:00, so we assumed check-in was flexible. Once we arrived, we were told check-in was actually at 14:00, which was frustrating after traveling. The rooms are very small, with beds placed so close together that there’s barely space to move once you put your bag down. On the plus side, some staff members speak Hindi, which is helpful for Indian travelers. A strange policy is that they don’t allow refilling water bottles. While the cost is low, you can find better accommodation for the same price—or by paying just 50 Baht more. Don’t be misled by the photos online, as they make the place look more spacious than it is.
"Quiet Night"
A great hostel if you’re after a quiet night. I stayed for 2 nights and finally caught up on some much-needed sleep. The staff were very friendly and helpful with local information, and the place was clean with warm private showers. Breakfast was included and made for a nice way to meet other travelers. There’s also a cozy seating area where you can read, chat, or enjoy a few beers. Overall, a friendly and relaxing place to stay.
"Cheap, but many stairs to climb"
This hostel is a solid choice for backpackers or solo travelers on a budget, but less suitable for families with kids since there are up to five floors and no lift—you’ll be carrying your luggage up the stairs. Rooms are clean, showers are hot, and there are even a couple of cats roaming around (worth noting if you have allergies). Breakfast is simple but sufficient: French toast, baguette, coffee, tea, juice, and milk. The location is convenient, with ATMs, street food, and small eateries just outside, and many other hostels on the same street. However, to get a taxi you’ll need to walk about 0.5 km to the main road. Overall, it’s a cheap and decent spot for backpackers or adventurous travelers, but families would be better off booking a proper hotel.
"Great common area"
The best part of this hostel is the common area—comfortable, with plenty of seating and light music playing throughout the day. The staff are friendly, and the location is convenient, fairly close to Khao San Road. On the downside, the air conditioning made the nights very cold, and I had to sleep in layers. Breakfast is included, but it’s quite basic (just toast and jam).
"Good value for money"
First of all, the hostel does not look like the pictures. It’s very small, with little space in the bedrooms to put your backpack, and even going to the toilet feels like a quest. The lockers didn’t work properly either. The reception experience wasn’t great, as the girl at the desk couldn’t even tell us where the airport bus leaves from. On the bright side, one of the owners was very friendly and shared helpful information. Breakfast was definitely a highlight—surprisingly good! The location is excellent, and the atmosphere around the hostel is brilliant. If you don’t mind very tiny spaces, you’ll likely enjoy your stay here.
"Decent but cramped"
Decent hostel in a good location—just a 7-minute walk to the central party district. It’s very budget-friendly, though a bit cramped. The staff are friendly and helpful, and while the free breakfast is simple (just toast and jam), it’s a nice touch for the price.
"Ok for a night or two."
We arrived late at night for our first stop on a long SE Asia trip. Check-in was straightforward, and we stayed in an 8-bed dorm. The room was very small and cramped, with beds right next to each other and quite hot, though the bed itself was comfortable and the privacy curtain was a nice touch. The location is decent—just a few minutes’ walk from Khaosan Road and close to a 7/11. There’s also a small chill-out area, and the staff were nice enough. Unfortunately, the hostel lacked atmosphere; it felt like it was just us and the staff, which made the stay feel a bit odd. For that reason, I wouldn’t stay here again.
Ploy Hostel
Extremely cheap hostel in Khaosan. Dorms are simple but clean. Best for backpackers looking to save.
