Within 5 mins walk to BTS stations or Airport rail link to Suvarnabhumi airport. The bus stations are also very near, so from the hostel it’s really easy to go to most places of the city. Free breakfast everyday not so much variety but it’s fine.

I booked a room with a private bathroom. The room was just nice for two and the private bathroom was spacious. Not much amenities provided, just towels, hair dryer, shampoo and body lotion and a smart TV. A decent stay for a short trip.
