Arawana Hostel Silom

Cheap price considering it’s the Songkran season. A handful of local vendors in the morning. Staff can consider to be a bit much friendlier. Also a hit far from public transportation

Nice place to stay

Best

It was the first time I stayed here . The first impression was very friendly and pleasant to check in . The staff are very nice and helpful. The room is very clean and comfortable with the full of cartain and cool AC. The toilet is clean and with toilet paper. The bathroom has hot water ,shower gel and shampoo . On the 5floor has kitchen with microwave,kettle and freezer. But the refrigerator is not cool and freeze not working.

Spacious room There is no light at the ground floor about 2100, if there are no customers. I got bitten by Bed bugs during my sleep.

They changed bed sheet in week not on guest checkout..

The location is good and hostel is cheap, AC is on almost every hour. Someone snores loudly everyday which bothers me too much. I got bitten by bugs, so not really a pleasant stay and mattress too hard.

Convenient location, very friendly receptionists, cheap and comfy, although bed curtains could be long enough to cover the entire bed ;)

Everything was new, comfortable bed, fresh sheets. The bathroom is new, but not well maintained, a lot of hair and dirt.

Front No sitting arrangements if any guest come to see us Daytime is very hot and evening time is not allowed Stairs

Old woman behave very bad

Nothing - - - From my experience, I do not recommend this place for several reasons, including: 1- There are a lot of bedbugs. Like you sleeping with scorpions. I changed the room three times without success. And the psycho who working there asked me to sign so paper promising that I will never give bad review about Bedbugs and what happened. 2- Theft: I was robbed inside the room. They stole seven hundred baht in cash, an electronic cigarette, a power bank, earphones and a bath towel. I also found a local trying to open my locker. When I told the boy who works at the reception, he said sorry we can do anything . I told him, can you give me a towel because I need to take a shower? He simply said I have to pay one hundred baht. In short, the place is not safe. 3- The Lady*boy who works at the reception, one of the rudest Thais I have ever seen in my life, he has a complex about foreigners, you will not even see a smile on his face. Although his job is to receive people and smile, no, this person is completely different from the rest of the Thais. 4 - If you go to the reception to ask for a service or ask about something, they get angry and it shows on their faces that they do not want to see you they want just to eat and play and watching movies there , except the guy from Myanmar and the Housekeeping the Burmese who working there are very nice. While the two people from Thailand, the ladyboy and the girl, are very bad. And are not able to have this sensitive job . 5- If you arrive after 11 pm, you will not find anyone at the reception, even though the lady*boy lives in a room inside the reception, and he can see all people who came late ,he will not serve you, or Open the door for you ,many people they pay online and it's ended with, waste their money and booked for a nearby hotel, The big joke once a Japanese person came late, but the ladyboy was in the shower up , so the guy he catch him when he will open the reception , you know what happened ?

solo traveling

The price

Good value accommodation and the location is nice. Needs a bit more cleaning though but manageable.

I stayed there more than 2 weeks. Reception guy was nice and helpful. Room was comfortable. Showers were ok. They have washing machine you can hang clothes to rooftop. I lost my wallet at the hostel. Reception guy informed me by e-mail. Staff overall really nice. Common area need improvements. It is not comfortable. At the end of the day you want to relax. They can improve rooftop area. No elevator. You have to go up stairs to 4th floor. Cafe in the basement is useless. Just few people no vibes I didnt see even menu. Location is so-so. If you like Silom and Samyan area i think it is ok for you. BTS is 1.5 km far away.

The bed was comfy in the female dorm, curtains and outlet by the bed, easy access with a key card though you have to pay 500 cash deposit, there are tables for you to sit, location was okay Your roommate might make a phone call or something in the middle of night, and somebody took my water I put on the table, no elevator

comfy bed, small room did the job for 3 nights for that price, staff helpful, clean shared bathroom and showe., but location is fine men bathroom is in the 3rd floor so if you need to use it in the middle of the night means you already waken up climbing all those stairs. my room was next to reception so a bit noisy at night with music and chatting. staff starts a bit later than needed, so if you have early check out, you need to inform them in advance to collect your deposit otherwise you need to wait until some of them start work.

I have a good stay here. The staffs work so great and responsive. Front team is a great team I like The Manager don't know her name/Thiha/Nat- Two housekeepers so sweet people. They speak many languages, so I recommend here. -

Best budget hostel: great value for money. You can work downstairs and upstairs, the temperature in the hall is comfortable, each room is protected with a key. Lots of locals, but very accommodating and polite. Nobody makes noise and it's quiet at night. Not an air conditioner, but a refrigerator - it’s very cold and cold, but that depends on the neighbors. Lizards and cockroaches in the kitchen are an abomination, i rarely went there.
