OH Hostels - Bangkok

Nice

It's very good for living

Always be my go to hostel. Their staff was very approachable especially Lilli. I highly recommend this place for solo travelers.

The bedding, it's just a very thin fleece blanket, you also have to pay extra for a towel and a key deposit of 500Baht From the outside the place looks great and worth the price, but once you move in you realise you get nothing for your money. No water to drink at all, no facilities to make even noodles, and worst parts are: They turn off the aircon in the rooms at 11am until 3pm, there is no alternative cooling, no fans or anything. Afyer about 10 minutes you begin to sweat and wether you like it or not, you have to get up. Also at 11am the staff come to clean and they do t care that you are tired or sleeping they make all the noise they can. The hostel also has no policy on people talking on their homes in the rooms, so while you trying to relax or sleep, people will be chatting away on their phones in your ear. They advertised a gym, but it has been out of service since I can remember and noone bothers to fix it. The walls of the rooms are thin and if people talk or shout in the hallways or on the stairwell you can hear it throughout the building. Some rooms don't have any windows or light and are tiny, yet they cr 8 people in there. So what happens is, when the aircon is on, the room becomes like a fridge, you'll have to ask for a second blanket. The moisture in the air is so bad that you get all clammy and sticky. Trust me, I spent 2 nights in such a room. The floor are wooden and most of the floor boards are lose so if someone walks in the passages the beds shake and you will wake up. Their coffee bar is way over priced and the quality of coffee is not good at all, like water. If you smoke cigarettes, there is no place for you to sit and smoke, you have to stand on the bottom entrance of the hostel. I would not recommend this place, it might look nice, but that's where it ends. For much less you can find much better.
