Born Free Hostel

It's overpriced because for the same price you can get a separate AC room near by (7000THB/Month). If you take it for 2 people it's even twice cheaper than staying in this overpriced hostel room with 12 people. Because it's overpriced, it never gets full, so that's what I liked. BED BUGS. MANY. I FOUND THEM EVEN IN MY ALWAYS KEPT CLOSED BAG. NO AC. AC room they switch off the AC during day and it gets super hot. THERE ARE NO BED BUGS IN FAN ROOM, BUT FAN ROOM IS SUPER HOT NOW. I LIKED IT FIRST, BUT AFTER SOME INTERACTIONS WITH A STAFF I DON'T ANYMORE.

Good spot near Khaosan but not noisy

They change the room price after you check in. For example, if you stay several days, they keep charging you 170–190. But then you see the online price drops to 130 for new guests, while existing guests are still charged 170. They only adjust one day to the lower price and keep the rest at the higher rate. On top of that, they told me it was high season to justify charging 190, but this was in August, when high season actually starts in November. I found this dishonest and very disloyal towards guests who have already been staying there for several nights and want to stay longer. That left me with a bad impression.

The decorations looked interesting. The bed sheets seemed to be clean. At least I saw them changed after guests left. I found long blond hair on blanket though–to be fair, hair can cling to blanket even after washing....The real problem is, the vibe here was a little too "free" for me. No curtains on the beds. Topless guys here and there. Dark light in the common area. Personally that's not my thing.

The location is great. No train nearby, but not needed. Would be taking taxi or tuktuk anyway. Everything is super close. Everything good except running AC in the room. It was almost snowing in there.

This hostel is extremely conveniently located to tour around Old Town Bangkok on foot. Within easy walking distance you can reach the river, a variety of canals that are pretty cute to walk along, as well as Khao San Road. It is a basic hostel, so that should be what you are looking for - numerous people in each room sleeping in bunk beds. There are lockers provided and you can either bring your own lock or buy one there. I never had trouble finding a shower available when I wanted one. there are also a couple of common spaces with outlets and cushions with linens that get changed daily. All in all, this hostel suited me fine :). I mean - a couple times I wished I had a space to myself where I could close the door, but that's not what a hostel is :).

The stairs are quite steep and small as the fan room is on the 4th floor and the wifi didnt work in the room (for me).

just a perfect place!!

Location was close enough to central area. Very cheap. Front desk was very nice and helpful. Doesn't look like the photos. No AC. The plugs are wobbly so even the fan would go on and off. Could be cleaned.

Bathrooms were very small and common areas were not the cleanest

I love the aesthetics! There are a lot of communal areas. The main one has places to lie down (or sit at a table) and listen to relaxing music, and in the front you can watch how two massage parlors compete with eachother for customers. And there's also a couple of balconies. There's a couple of bus stops in the big street very close by, and you can also take boats to go places, because it's right next to the river. Within 1km there's everything you need, and I think it's around 2km to reach Khao San Road. BTS and MRT are reachable at around 3 to 4 km. There's plenty of taxi's and grab options though. The only reason why I give a 9 instead of a 10 is because at the top floor the shower doesn't really output much water and there's a couple of tiny ants making their way through the crevices. This is the first hostel I've been to that doesn't have cockroaches! :)

Location and very well taking care of. 24 hrs surveillance Nothing

Best hostel in Bangkok and probably Thailand! Staff is super friendly and helpful. Really relaxed vibe and everyone you meet is really friendly. It's also really clean! Can not recommend enough. 10 out of 10 everytime I stay here!

No AC

no water t refill

Common area was very hot

Everything was perfect and clean, safe place! Nothing

The smell of the weed, it's not that strong but we feel it. Our dorm was on the 4th floor and the steps are very narrow, so it can be uncomfortable if you have luggage. It's too hot in the room, no ac, but you book the upper bed fan right in front of you, so it can be dangerous if you are sensitive to the cold.

I was just for 1 night. I showered and i slept, nothung much to say, but everything was ok. The AC in the rooms are turned on at 4pm and during the whole night. Friendly staff Thats not the issue of the hostel, but i was szprised hiw non of the guset said HELLO back. Was hoping tomeet new prople but noone seemed to be interested in any contact
