N5 Ratchawong Hostel

The rooms are exactly as pictured but the location is what is truly unbeatable. 1 minute walk to the ferry, Song Wat Rd, or 7-Eleven. Less than 10 minute walk to Yaowarat, and great street food right outside the door. The AC is cool, the water pressure is strong, and the staff are incredibly kind.

Close to Chaopraya river, can see river view from our balcony and gorgeous on the rooftop. Next to Ratchawong pier, quiet area. Clean, nice staff, friendly neighborhoods. Can walk easily to Songwart area, China town, Indian town, food street. Friendly staff.

The location: proximity to the underrated ferry, corner of Chinatown and Song Wat. Amazing and friendly food stalls right outside the door. I think I’m emotionally attached to them and the 7-Eleven right on the corner.

The place is quiet and convenient for river taxis and visiting the major temples next to the river Limited food options around or places to grab a coffee or drink

I love this place and return here every time when I'm in Bangkok for a couple of days. It's conveniently located - walking distance to everything I am interested in, rooms are clean, and beds comfortable.

Great location! It is a few meters away from Songwat road and walkable distance to the main Yaowarat area and Sampheng market, which is great for buying food at night. There is also a 7-eleven opposite and many popular coffee spots around the area. What I really liked was that the bus interchange was right in front of the hostel (I used the ViaBus app to track where the buses were). For 15 Baht, it takes you directly to Siam center. I took the bus back from Siam center several times too. It is also really close to a popular porridge shop called Tang Jing Dong Porridge 陳進忠. The pier is also at the hostel's doorstep, which takes you to many key attractions like Icon Siam and various temples. The private room we stayed in was great. The bunk bed was comfortable and clean. It was really cozy and the air-conditioning was strong. You can request for someone to makeup the room everyday and they changed the towels too. The toilet was well ventilated and there was hot water. The shampoo was surprisingly good too. The sink was located outside the toilet which is really useful when rooming with someone. There is also ample space in the toilet to put your toiletries. I also liked that you have to change into slippers when entering the building, as it kept the entire space clean. The shared pantry space was very helpful. While mineral bottles were provided everyday, there was a filtered tap which was a life saver...There is also a microwave, a shared fridge, and cutlery to use. It is also air-conditioned, and there were many power plugs which is great if you need to get work done. There is also a lovely rooftop space. You can also do your laundry here, though you have to pay 50 baht for it, and extra charge if you use their detergent. There is also a small outdoor space to hang dry your clothes! Staff was friendly! Shoutout to the male staff working the night shift (wearing the LFC jersey). Thanks for being super helpful and chatting with us every time we came back :) Slightly further from the nearest train station, but with many other forms of transport in the area, and taxis, it was perfectly fine! The pillow was also a little bit high so I wasn't used to it. The corridors got really noisy early in the morning, and there were many loud sounds for some reason, which woke me up early everyday. Other than that, it was quiet at night.

Bed was comfy. The staff were quite cold. Female bathroom felt cramped but functional. For one night it’s fine.

The bad was available from earlier that day but they wanted 300 baht for early check in. Expensive!

Clean, super comfortable beds, with laundry and kitchen facilities. Stayed here with my teenage son in private room with attached bath. Perfect for us.

Everything! It's my third time here. The staff is kind, I keep making friends, I can get work done in the lobby or in the tables inside. The rooftop has a privileged view over the river and city skyline. The bunk beds are super clean and stable, and the curtain's block most of the light. The rooms have ac so the nights are fresh and peaceful.

Hot shower water flow was inconsistent

Exceptionally clean even the hared kitchen. Very polite helpful staff. It's steps away from the pier to hop on a boat to get around.

Great location Excellent top roof No widow in room

Impeccably clean. Very helpful attentive staff. Great location.

Friendly, very clean, lovely staff!! And it’s in a good area.

Great location, very friendly staff, clean and great value for price (double room with private bathroom), beautiful views from the rooftop

Front desk staff will try and scam you for $. Noy is the guy. They might all be in on it. 5 tourist approached over 10 days, and various scams

Beds are comfortable and clean I stayed in a 4 bed shared room with two other guys - group travelers obviously. They had completely taken over the room, covering the floor with their stuff and making loud noise as if it was their private space. Why even allow this much mess in the room? The next day I went to reception to explain the situation and asked if I could be moved to another room. They didn’t seem very attentive and just said “sorry” instead of clearly telling me whether a room change was possible. In the evening, when I came back, I was told that room change is possible now. I don’t understand why they didn’t just tell me right away that this was an option when I first complained. It felt like they were waiting to see if someone else would book the room first.

Had been in Bangkok for work the past few days and extended only one more day so moved to this hostel. The room is very clean and the bed was firm yet comfortable. I had booked this because of Vijit Chao Praya Festival, hoping to see fireworks from the rooftop. However, the queen mother had passed recently, so they cancelled the fireworks. I was still able to walk about 20 minutes to an area near the memorial bridge to watch the drone light show. Lots of food and cafes nearby. Also close to the pier if you need to head to icon siam. Area gets quiet at night, with most of the crowds at yaorawat. There is a shampoo and shower gel dispenser in the bathroom. Towels are provided. There was the sewage smell coming from the bathroom but it goes away when you use the shower or sink and close the bathroom door. Would have liked a small table lamp beside the bed, but not really a big issue.
