Urban Hostel was a good spot to land after over 24 hours of travel from Detroit to Bangkok. Restful, friendly, clean, simple. Also in a non-touristy neighborhood - bonus.

It felt like home/family

This hostel is amazing. The workers are some of the most respectful and hard-working people I’ve come across. They were always eager to help with questions or issues, and they keep the place absolutely spotless! (You could eat off the floor). I won’t ever stay anywhere else in Bangkok.

Stay here! Great

Amazing location, sooo close to khao san road and great sights around. Staff was very helpful, AC was exceptional and the bathrooms were clean. Only downside would be that you can hear the music from khao san road up until 12 am maybe a little later..

Luxury hostel for backpackers

A very good hostel. It's clean, pretty new and close to mrta station. Good wifi and breakfast available. The area is nice but very different, a lot of street food stands and they have hard beds

The hostel is really clean and comfortable. There is everything you need : Washing machine, plates, fridge, ... The common areas are spacious and make you feel at home. The owner was really kind : He saw me on the way with my backpack and gave me a ride to the hotel. That was really kind of him! I will definitively come back.

Great hostel, clean and friendly staff

I spent 8 nights at Urban Hostel in a private room. Very clean room, staff was friendly and the location is close to bus stops and main road. There is laundry on the 3rd floor, a drying rack and a communal fridge. Overall a pleasant stay and I would stay here again when I'm back in Bangkok.

Perfect hostel for backpackers

It was a wonderful experience to stay in Urban Hostel Bangkok. The place is neat and comfortable, and it is perfect for backpackers. Plus, they have lovely receptionist who can speak English. And it is very cheap for travellers.

Friendly and welcoming hostel, clean, fairly quiet

Good, value for money hostel. 5 mins walk from the river, MRT train 5 minute walk away, Patong night market 10 mins walk away, 7-11 3 mins walk away. Tasty street food just outside the hostel. Very friendly and welcoming staff (2 of them had good english too). A few different common areas to hang out in with a nice balcony area. Stayed in a private room which was clean and had a comfy shower. Overall, I would recommend for the price I paid.

Tout est ok mais...

Très bien situé, à deux pas du quartier chinois et de River City d’où partent plein de bateaux. Le personnel est accueillant, surtout l’employée du matin. Les chambres sont très correctes, climatisées (un peu trop...). Les sanitaires sont propres et spacieux. Seul petit hic, tous les services sont en supplément, jusqu’à la deuxième couverture pour ne pas finir en Miko dans le lit lorsque la clim est en forme... Mais sinon ok, le roof top est top.

엘리베이트 없어서 계단이용해야함. 매우 힘듬. 방은 아주 작고 가격이 아주 저렴한편도 아님. 도미토리 다중이용이라면 몰라도 완전 비추천. 방콕 시내까지 거리도 멀고 택시비니 뭐니 하면 중심가에 숙박 잡는게 훨씬 유리함.

良いところから⑤つ挙げますと ①深夜の時間帯でもチェックインに対応してくれた。 元の予定でも深夜1時過ぎだったが、飛行機の遅れで さらに遅くなって、3時前になってしまったが、待っていてくれた。 ②ドミトリーにしては綺麗(私が知る範囲ですが) ③トイレが壊れていないし、シャワーからお湯が出る。 (私の知る範囲では、大体どこかが壊れている事が多い) ④玄関の斜め前に屋台があり、裏手にはコンビにもあるので便利 ⑤最も重要! 安い! 悪いところは、やや観光地から離れているので 探すときは、グーグルマップを凝視しながら探さないと難しいかも セーフティボックスは当然ないので、完全自己管理です。はい 一旦到着してしまえば、朝から屋台で食べて 20分弱も歩けば、船着場のリバーシティに着けるはずなので (絶対に迷うのでグーグルマップ必須!)、乗船後 ワットアルンかワットポー辺りで下船すれば、市内観光が始められます。 ファランポーン駅も近いので、アユタヤにも行けますよ。 ただ 繁華街で遊びをメインに考えている方には、ロケーションが良くないですね。
