Boxpackers Hostel Phranakorn

The family room is large enough, 10 minutes' walk from the night market, very quiet and not noisy

I really liked the location, near Khao San Road, quiet place and the staff was very friendly, they kept our suitcases and helped us order a taxi in the early morning to get to the airport. Second time staying with them and I would definitely do it again.

I used a mixed dormitory for 10 people as a female backpacker traveling alone. I was able to spend two nights comfortably. A recommended hostel. Cleanliness: Very clean. The room is clean. Cleaning was included in the shower room, toilet room, and two washbasins (with mirrors) that are almost outside the room. Facilities: It's still a new inn. ① Shower room and toilet: The shower room has a fixed shower and a hand shower. Luggage rack, shampoo and body soap available. Strong water pressure and always hot water. Drain water. There was one shower room and one toilet room in the semi-outdoor corridor outside the room on each floor. If it's crowded, go to the 3rd floor or go down to the washroom on the 1st floor and there are 3 showers and 3 toilets. It was full, but the shower and toilet were always empty. I put the toilet paper in the trash can, but it was cleaned and never overflowed. There were no insects even under the electricity of the semi-outdoor washbasin. ②: Laundry: There is a laundry service at the front desk for 100BT. After handing over the laundry net, they even dried it for me. There is also a coin-operated laundry store nearby. ③ Elevator: No, but it was a dormitory on the 2nd floor, so there was no problem at all. ③ Water: There was a free small water server on the first floor. ④: Dormitory room: The air conditioner is always on. There are lockers that can hold large luggage. Each bed has curtains, lighting, USB and outlet sockets. However, if the card key is removed, the power will not turn on. It felt a little inconvenient to charge the mobile phone, but in terms of crime prevention, it might be okay. The space between the beds is narrow, so a backpack or soft carry is fine, but it is difficult to expand a suitcase. ⑤ Towels: They lend you free bath towels. This is a great service. There was also a towel rack on the bed. ⑥: There is a shoe rack under each locker. Security: There is a cafe on the first floor, and you can use your card key to open and close to the guest space in the back, so it is safe. The room is also opened and closed with a card key. All the electricity of each bed was card key. The large locker can be opened and closed with the key attached to the card key, but there is also a padlock hole at the bottom, so you can double lock it with a padlock. Location: Facing Tanao Road. The old town of Sam Phraeng is within a 10-minute walk, the Grand Palace is a 15-minute walk, and there are many lesser-known temples and long-established restaurants nearby. Perfect location. No subway or BTS station nearby. However, it is an hour away from Suvarnabhumi International Airport by direct S1 bus and less than 10 minutes on foot from the bus stop. A 10-minute walk towards the Democracy Monument will take you to the Sensab Canal speedboat, which will take you to Siam Central World in 15 minutes. Pink Khao Man Gai is just steps away from the boat dock. There were two 7-Elevens within a 5-minute walk from the inn. To the Khao San area, it is about a ten-minute walk through a large street and across the traffic lights. I got the impression that it was closer than it looked on the map. During the day, there is a busy street in front of you. A lottery on the way from the bus stop to the inn? There are a lot of noisy shops lined up in the sales floor, and it feels like the area around the betting ticket office in Asakusa, so there is no problem. However, at night, restaurants are closed, and the impression changes to a surprising degree when it gets dark. It is not recommended for women to go out alone after dark because there are fewer cars and it is an area where thieves come out. On the contrary, it is quiet, so you can sleep soundly. Stylish cafes stand out in the old townscape, so I don't think you'll get lost. Across the street is a temple. Staff: Everyone was friendly and helpful. They kept my bag for free. Miscellaneous: There is no space for conversation during the day (there were chairs in the smoking area) The lovely cafe on the first floor closes before 8pm, but guests can use it as a shared space for free. No one was making noise and it was comfortable. There is an outlet and you can charge. In the daytime, you will need to order coffee etc. from about 100BT. There is a 24-hour front desk, so you don't have to worry about anything. It was a popular inn that was fully booked every day. There were many calm travelers who wanted to stay away from the Khaosan area, and I was very comfortable because it was not a so-called party hostel. This inn is perfect for travelers who want to spend their time quietly and comfortably at their own pace, rather than those who want to socialize with a lot of people while having a drink.
