Stay Thapae Hostel

Staff : The staff could speak English, and those who couldn’t were still patient and used a translator whenever needed. The rooms and showers were cleaned every day. Location : The location was very good and safe, near the night markets and about a 20-minute walk from the bars in the old town, as well as many small Thai restaurants and coffee shops. Place : I was also able to work online there, which was great. And they provide water.

Nothing

The beds are very comfortable and the AC definitely works here. The comforter is also very warm just in case people get cold with the AC on. I liked how the female room was the same price as the mix hostel room. The reception was lovely and so kind. She does not speak English but nothing google translate can’t fix and the use of hand gestures. Even though it’s right next to the Night Bazaar the hostel is quiet at night and the blackout curtains work wonders. There was a weird smell on the first floor due to all the rain and leaking, and did not extend the stay because of the smell and the common area basically being out of service due to that. BUT when I was checking out they were ripping up the flooring which helped the smell immensely. I think if they turn the wooden bench into cement like everything else then there would be no smell. It’s just the soaking wood. If I knew they were taking the flooring out I actually would have extended and I hope they keep the concrete instead of putting in new flooring. On the 3rd floor only 1 shower got warm and I could never get the other shower to get warm. Also with the showers it would be great if you could maybe get some of the calcium buildup off with some white vinegar and a plastic bag (would make it easier to wash hair as the water sprays in all directions directions). Other than that for ladies that have really everything you need. Shampoo, body wash, nice hair dryer, and little rubber bands for the hair. Other than that this place is definitely a place I would stay at again.

Great location where you can get to mea kampong,doi intanon and mon cham van station by 2-3 min walking., good pricing , have common space for dining with water dispenser and refrigerator.( have bread, jam and fresh milk for breakfast service . Not sure about fee) . Self service with well support from staff. Recommended for no-car traveller. Have some dusk in headboard light cove.and found some small stain in bedding equipment. But overall area still clean and tidy.

It's will be better if they have the roof for the motorcycle because the brid's poop all over my motorcycle.

The only problem was that the staff didn't speak English

The staff was very nice and helpful.

Staff was very nice and helpful, the hostel was super clean and location was great! Near the night market and quick walk to everything else. I ended up returning after visiting Pai :)

Except for the aircond. It broke down on my 2nd day there. Water started leaking. Just get that fix and room is ?. The locker also is without lock. Need to buy/bring your own.

Extended my stay a few times because it was so nice!

Very nice place! The room was clean, with comfortable bed and good air conditioner. It located in great place, near the night market.

Location is the best. The rental is reasonable. Toilet floor is not clean enough. Shower room is slippery when it wet.

Close to two big night markets Friendly staff Clean room and bathroom

Charming place due to the comfort, location, and staff! Bunk beds are cubby style which allows for more privacy. Towels soft and clean. Staff kind and helpful. Easy late check in. Modern and clean. Extra storage space in rooms. Quiet area in the city but walkable to the action and close to songtheaw transport hub. Provides breakfast and drinking water. It got fully booked up sometimes! Haha

Do not recommend! I’ve came in around 5pm and no one was there - reception only works till 4pm. They left instructions on the door how to get in but anyone could do it (access code was on the door) so I wouldn’t feel safe at night. The hostel itself was empty. No single soul and it’s a high season in the city now. When I got to the room I was shocked to see the state of one of the walls. Looks like a water damage covered in mould! Unsafe to stay. After contacting the property they acted like they had no clue about it. I’ve decided to leave after 10 min of being there and found a different hostel for a night. Don’t trust all the good reviews and be careful!

Looking for a another visit soon

the bathroom is in the third floor, no common spaces

location & bed no

Friendly staff and comfy bed. Good location with less than 5 minutes walk to night bazaars. The place has no lift, so I had to carry my luggage to the 4th floor where the female dorm is. But look at the positive side it’s a good exercise.

The hostel looks a lot better in the pictures than in real life. This mostly has to do with the fact that everything is super small. The girls room was on the 4th floor and it was very hot in the hallway.
