this is a great place if you want to be close to Khao san road but if you want some good quality of sleep as well. It’s a nice hostel and it’s quiet but it’s just a 5 minute walk to Khao san Road and the other tourist streets. It’s a great hostel to meet people and it’s really clean.

We had the private room with en-suite and it was absolutely perfect. The road outside is a little noisy but they provide free ear plugs which was nice. Staff are very very friendly and incredibly helpful. They do clothes washing and drying for 100THB which was good value I think. 15min walk to the G
