The hotel is incredibly convenient, just a 200-meter walk from the airport skyline—perfect for early flights or late arrivals. The room was spotless and well-maintained, with a clean, fresh feel throughout. Staff were friendly and helpful, adding to the overall positive experience. That said, if you're a light sleeper, be aware that traffic noise can be noticeable, especially during quieter hours. A pair of earplugs helped a lot. Despite that, the location, cleanliness, and value make this a standout choice in Bangkok. I’d definitely stay here again.
I was extremely disappointed with my stay at this property. The cleanliness was appalling—bed linens were visibly dirty and caused severe itching after sleeping on them. Despite reporting the issue, the response was slow and unsatisfactory, and even getting a full refund took much longer than expected. The overall condition of the rooms suggested years without proper cleaning. The location near the river is nice in theory, but the surrounding area is noisy and unclean. It's hard to believe such a place made it onto any booking platform, especially given the lack of basic hygiene standards. I’d strongly advise travelers to think twice before choosing this hotel—your experience could be just as frustrating as mine.

For international travelers, it’s super convenient to get around via boat or bus. Plus, being close to shopping malls and bustling local markets makes food hunting a breeze. The hostel is spotless, smells fresh, and the staff are genuinely warm and welcoming. Honestly, it feels less like a stay and more like coming home. There’s some traffic noise since it’s in the heart of a tourist area, but honestly, it doesn’t bother me at all.

Staying at Yaks House Hostel in Bangkok was an absolute highlight of my trip! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the BTS and surrounded by local eateries and markets. I booked a private room with a separate bathroom, entering through a shared common area that’s spotless and well-maintained. Everything you’d need is provided: push-button soap, shampoo, hot water (only one drain had a minor issue, but it didn’t affect comfort). The twin beds were surprisingly spacious and super comfortable—great for two travelers. The air conditioning worked perfectly, though I did notice some traffic noise since the hostel sits right next to a busy bridge between Rama VIII and Phin Geala. Still, not bad enough to ruin the experience. Breakfast was a self-service option, plus there's a cozy café offering free drinks—coffee, tea, orange juice, and bottled water. On the day we stayed, the power went out due to utility repairs, but the manager immediately apologized and offered each guest a complimentary drink. That kind gesture really stood out—so thoughtful and welcoming! The common areas are beautifully designed with unique birdcage decor, giving the place a quirky, charming vibe.
