Bodega Party City Center Bangkok - Hostel

Neither of these are the fault of the owner but worth mentioning. It seems booking.com and other 3rd party sites are misrepresenting the types of accomodation they have and their availability. We booked a 4-person room, and upon arrival learned that they don't even have 4-person rooms and that he didn't even have any availability for us. He ended up working it out for us which was SO appreciated. Also, not the fault of the owner, but the stay ended up being miserable to the point we left early due to the people we were sharing the dorm room with. Big lights on, full volume talking and hanging out, using the hairdryer, playing music, etc. at 2, 3, 4am with no care in the world. They were also smoking cigarettes in the dorm room. Given, it was Songkran and partying was understandable, and we could have complained to the owner, but didn't.

Everything else. The room lacked frequent cleaning. The top bed was too close to the ceiling that you can not even properly sit on your bed. Beds did not have curtains so 0 privacy. Bathrooms and rooms are not on the same floor. The main light in the room was just above my bed so it was extremely inconvenient if anyone switch on the light. The lockers did not have the locks. The bathrooms and toilet were very dirty.

It’s very clean the stuff are amazing Ash, Abi , and mrj I don’t think I wrote a correct names they are amazing and I recommend every solo traveler to stay in bodega… Ali Moataz from Iraq ??

This hostel is in the city center and many places are close by. They have an amazing social area with a bar and the nicest people. They went beyond expectations to accommodate me and helped me in my travel related queries. Nhui was the best.

The place is clean, well maintained and the staff is helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this hoqtel to anyone who is looking for a good experience filled youth energy. Nothing to declare

Good

I am not one to write a review but I do not want anyone to ever have a night like I did at this hostel. It's a serious problem. I would strongly urge people NOT to stay here. I have travelled all over the world for years and have stayed in numerous hostels in South America, India, China, Vietnam, North Africa and Europe. I have never felt more unsafe in a hostel before. The hostel is motel style, meaning the rooms open onto the street. There is absolutely no security so anyone could walk in off the street into your room at any time. This is a busy area with lots of bars and nightclubs nearby. There is a lock on the door to the room but my roommates were very bad at locking the door. I was so scared. I was up every hour to make sure the door was locked (usually when I checked it wasn't locked because my roommates where in&out all night, most of the time I was alone in the room) I could not sleep soundly knowing anyone could come into the room at any point in the night. Another major issue re safety is that there are no lockers. When I mentioned this they said they could keep my valuables at the desk, which closes overnight until about 8am. Not one of the staff mentioned this to me so I am SO thankful that I did not leave my passport with them as I would have missed my early flight had I left it with reception because my passport would have been locked away god knows where with no one to get it for me. There was not even a phone number to call in case of emergencies and nowhere to go when I felt unsafe in my room. I felt so so vulnerable. I've never stayed at a hostel where the reception closes (and the fact that no one mentioned this to me was baffling). The lack of curtains, dirty washrooms, and having to pay extra for bedding are barely worth mentioning compared to the extremely unsafe situation I was in staying at this hostel. I am not a picky person, I know the difference between discomfort and when something is unsafe. This place is unsafe.

The staff is really nice and the location is great. Also its a relatively cheap price Unfortunately theres a lot of things that are not good about this hostel: -cockroaches in the bathroom and in general the bathroom is not clean and shampoo and shower gel are not provided contrary to the room description -you wont get a blanket they charge 75 Baht extra if you want one, I've stayed in a lot of hostels and this is the First time I had to pay for a blanket -there are no curtains on the beds -thin walls you can hear almost everything, its necessary to have earplugs -it said there is an age restriction only allowing people between 18-35 to book the hostel, however there are many guests that are a lot older ( I didnt mind but you shoud know if you care about that) -The AC is not working that well Especially the condition of the bathroom and the extra charge for the blanket are big no gos, I hope it can be improved in the future

Pleasant

Nothing …. I wonder how booking is rating it high Very bad …. AC not working …. Only fan …. When complained, the staff asked to pay extra and move to another dorm …. Common area not accessible beyond 12 where AC is working …. Extra for blanket, towel, etc …. Washroom doesn’t have hand wash, shower gel, etc …. I don’t even think anyone cleans

Pleasant

Price Might have been a famous hostel chain in the past but it's falling apart. Clearly needs maintenance, it's dirty, there are no lights in the room, no soap in the bathrooms and they even charge you if you want a blanket to cover yourself while sleeping. Ridiculous place

Bad

good location, clean facilities. little pricey for the price but location is important in bangkok overall positive

You pay what you get. In overall it was ok and good enough for a short stay as I was aware of it. The good: - helpful staff and kind. - the place is clean and the amnesties show some ages but it is ok. - electrical plugs and light for each bed. - towel is provided. - social place to hang out. The bad: - no privacy into the dorm room as there are no curtains for each beds as shown on the pictures. - small lockers just enough to input a handbag and bring your padlock. - no lockers or storage for backpackers or suitcases size. - beds are not assigned, so make sure to "mark" your bed. To late check-in, please ensure to check the open hours, otherwise you will "lose" one night.

Friendly staff and room mates. Kop khun krap
