168 Hostel

I arrived at the hostel at 10 am and when I called the hostel (door was locked) to ask if I could leave my luggage there they offered me free early check-in! Very nice of them. Even though I never met the owners/reception staff I was helped by a cleaning lady and everything was very quick. The room was clean and the sheets and bed were very comfortable. I had the room closest to the bathroom/toilet which was convenient too. Clean, big showers with very good pressure and big mirrors and space to brush your teeth, cleanse your face etc. Only one toilet but never had to wait to use it since there wasn’t many guests at the time I was staying there. Also there was a hair dryer but I didn’t use it. The location was very good, easy to find and, I as a solo female traveler, never felt unsafe or alone. There’s also a 7-eleven just over the street and roughly 10 minutes away by foot is MBK Center and Siam Discovery, Siam Paragon etc.

The one thing I have to say that I particularly didn’t appreciate was the noise at the property. I didn’t meet more than 2 other guests but at night, you could hear between the walls when someone was coughing. It was supposed to be quiet from 11 pm to 7 am but after 11 pm you could still here people talking and before 7 am, people talking and coughing very loud. It didn’t bother me that much since I was jet lagged and slept during the day and didn’t have a schedule but it might affect others more. Also I never met any staff other than the cleaning lady, I would have wanted to atleast see some staff sitting in the reception at some time.
