    My locker was broken and I'm not a big fan of leaving my shoes outside!

    Pretty basic but good value. Nice staff and the rooms were okay. I like how there was stairs up to the top bunk as opposed to a ladder!

    staff had assigned someone to my bed by accident and weren’t there to sort it out so i had to ask the other guy, but staff were very good at replying on whatsapp to resolve.

    great curtains, ladder, and beds. you have space next to the bed too

    Wifi in the room was almost non-existent. The room had a strong damp smell and somehow the AC couldn't provide proper ventilation. There was a bad smell in the common area which I believe came from the kitchen sink.

    Spacious beds with sockets and privacy curtains. Clean bathroom separate from the showers. Comfy common area. Kind staff.

    Blanket didn’t smell clean and the place the in general has a funky smell like old feet, lots of banging doors at night.

    Great price and great location! Free water and no plastic woohoo!! Also I lost my Prada sunglasses and the owner found and gave them back, if that’s not trustworthy then wow!!

    - there’s a lot that should be fixed, replaced or improved; everything is quite old and it seems nobody did any improvements in a long time - it’s not really clean; the essentials - bed sheets, toilets - are clean but other than that not enough - WiFi is terrible, very slow in general, often disconnecting or not working at all, at last floor mostly is not working at all; my 4G phone spot is blazing fast comparing to the wifi - my blanket was a bit small even for me (I’m a small person) - overall I would say you get what you pay for (being a cheap hostel) but for just a few extra money you can get much more extra value

    - the normal/regular stairs for the upper bunk beds - the area (nice area, close to the park, quiet in the night)

    Don't bother to save 50 baht if you sleep badly and hate stairs. The upper room is not that good; the toilet door is noisy ;) the stairs are steep. The toilet is a bit old, let's say. No free water or coffee, which is a normal thing in Thailand. Still don't want to cimplain it's cheap. You get what you pay for.

    The location is good; in the center of the old town. The lady working there is helpful even though a bit of better English helps to communicate. It's not really a capsule hostel, but you have privacy with a curtain and a separate light, a locker, etc. There's a little balcony to hang your laundry. A good kitchen. It is cheap. I changed into the 4 bed dorm room as...pls read what I didnt like...

    It was extremely hot and quite difficult to sleep because of this, though this was not the fault of the hostel, as there was AC we later learned! Again not a dislike but more a disclaimer - was not very social for a dorm hostel if that is what you’re after

    The lady on the desk was really lovely and accommodating. Was good to have curtains around the bed, a charging port and a locker in the bed space.

    There is no common room, so you cannot socialize with people. The bathroom is clean, but it is just behind some walls in the floor.

    I liked the bed in the dormroom. It is big and you have much place for your own stuff. It was silent and a curtain gives you good privacy. Good Wifi. Friendly owner. It’s cheap and when you are spending the day just sightseeing outside of the hostel, you get everything you need.

    A social bar close by would be nice. This is located on the quiet side of the old city.

    Capsule has curtains and extra space for your bags. Hostel is quiet and the ladies running the hostel are happy and charming. One of the better hostel I have stayed in.
