Known by many Dutch backpackers and the only hostel with pool in the list of best hostels near Khao San Road! The Here Hostel is located at a short distance from Khao San Road and you can walk to Thailand’s most famous Pad Thai restaurant (Thipsamai) in five minutes! The Here staff is great and always thinks along with you. Besides the pool there is the super nice There Bar * Garen where you can chill out and make new friends in the garden of the hostel!
If you want to sleep in the Here Hostel you can choose from many possibilities. For example, there is a bed in the mixed dormitory of eight, six or four people to reserve. But you can also book a double or quadruple room with a private bathroom, useful as a couple or as a group of four friends. And if you want to score a breakfast, you can do so for a small extra charge in the Here Hostel itself!
The Suneta Hostel, a modern hostel in Bangkok’s Old Town, is highly appreciated and recommended among many visitors who stayed there. It’s situated five minutes walking distance from Khao San Road! The friendly and motivated Suneta team knows how to deal with their guests and we have experienced that for ourselves. Super friendly and fun people work there!
In some dormitories this nice hostel has chosen to work with wooden partitions instead of the standard curtains. This way you have more privacy and it helps against the noise of your roommates, very smart though we say ourselves! If you’re looking for a hostel with an amazing service including a simple but good breakfast for a nice price, then the Suneta Hostel is the place to be!
Krit Hostel is a very tastefully decorated and modern hostel less than a kilometer from Khao San Road! In the common chill room the slogan ‘adventures are forever’ appears on the wall, we totally agree! It’s the adventurous memories that stay with us! In the Krit Hostel you can sleep in a mixed dormitory but there is also a separate dormitory for women. We hear from a lot of people that the beds are great to sleep in, in Thailand beds are often on the hard side… The staff is very friendly and speaks good English, handy to ask some questions about nice places in Bangkok! A nice plus at this hostel is that there is also a roof terrace with a few tables and chairs here and there. A nice place to get to know your fellow residents!
YUMMY
The Krit Hostel also has a cozy coffee bar! Here you can order delicious (ice) coffee!
The Born Free Hostel is a somewhat classic decorated hostel located in a cozy neighborhood with nice bars and restaurants. This less than 10 minutes walk from Khao San Road! The cheapest way to sleep here is in a mixed dormitory for up to 10 people with a fan. If you prefer air conditioning, you share a room with up to 6 or 12 people. There is a possibility to join certain beds together by means of the separate dividing wall. That means spooning with your girl for next to nothing! The staff is helpful and gives good tips on what to do in Bangkok. And that’s good because Born Free lends out free bikes so you can explore Bangkok by bike.
The owner and staff of The Oasis Hostel are very friendly and attentive, according to the many guests who have slept here. They are always there for you and will be happy to advise you about your stay in Bangkok. Outside there is a nice place to chill out and the beds inside are lovely! The cheapest option is to sleep in a dormitory with 4 or 6 beds. As friends or couple you can also choose to book a double room. The Oasis is located 700 meters from Khao San Road, in a quiet area with several restaurants, bars and massage parlours. An oasis of tranquillity yet close to the hustle and bustle.
d Hostel Bangkok is an insanely good hostel near Khao San Road! The hostel stands out immediately when you walk past it and that is not only what strikes you. d Hostel has nice soft beds, clean rooms and a number of nice public areas including a pool table! You can sleep here in a 4 or 6 person dormitory and there is also a special dormitory for women only. At d Hostel we also organize various activities such as a walking tour through Bangkok or a Thai Food Experience where you can learn more about the delicious food that Thailand has to offer! We really recommend you to sleep here for a couple of nights if you want to discover Bangkok as a backpacker.
The Azure Hostel is a clean and comfortable hostel where the staff really pays attention to its guests. The hostel is located in a quiet neighborhood, yet it is a 10 minute walk to the bustling Khao San Road. The cheapest option is to sleep in a mixed dormitory for 8 people but the hostel offers much more choice such as a double bedroom with shared or private bathroom. We have included this hostel in our list of best hostels near Khao San Road for its atmospheric artistic rooms and cheap options to stay here.
The name says it all, once you’ve slept here you’ll come back again, and once again and… The Once Again Hostel is about fifteen minutes walk from Khao San Road and only five minutes from the Wat Saket. It might not be your taste but we really appreciate the modern decor of this hostel! All dormitories and communal areas are spacious, clean and tidy!
You can sleep in the Once Again Hostel in a mixed dormitory of 4, 6, 8 or 12 beds and a women only dormitory is available as well. Did we mention that there is an amazing roof terrace? Or a pool table? Or the super nice staff? Yes, the price-quality ratio is very good here! They’ll see us again for sure!
