Staying at Zeds Hostel Bangkok was one of the most memorable experiences I've had in Thailand. The owner, Cherie, went far beyond just providing a place to sleep—she truly opened up her world to us. She personally led us on a walk through the Samsen neighborhood, showing us how locals live and interact with their community. We met friendly neighbors and even visited a traditional Thai music school where instructors teach the instruments used in Muay Thai stadiums—a unique cultural insight!

While the price is slightly higher than average, it's justified by the excellent location, cleanliness, and overall experience.

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.
Staying at The Printing House Poshtel in Bangkok was an absolute highlight of my trip. Located just a 10-minute walk from the Grand Palace and Khao San Road, it’s incredibly convenient for exploring the city center without needing to rely on transport.

I appreciated that breakfast was included, with four different options available; while not gourmet, they were satisfying and filling. The vibe here is very much geared toward international travelers, especially Europeans, making it easy to strike up conversations and share travel tips. Great location, excellent value, and a welcoming atmosphere—this place truly stands out. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, affordable, and authentic Bangkok experience.

This hotel offers incredible value and hospitality. Highly recommended!

While it's slightly tucked away from the main street, the lively atmosphere of the area still carries into the rooms—especially during evening hours when nearby shops play music. I found that either using earplugs or simply wearing myself out from exploring the vibrant streets helped me sleep better.
