For my wife and I, this hostel was very good for location (heart of khaosan rd) and basic feature. Just able to provide what u need at the budget trip. I have no smelly toilet, which means it was good and its more better this hostel has hot water. We just use this hostel to sleep in very tired after... More

First of all, I really do think they try to make the best of what they have. The rooms are like broom closets, but they are clean. AC worked well. Location was right in the middle of Khao San Road, which worked for us since we were just staying for one night and getting a bus from the Lomprayah office... More

Great location and clean but our ensuite room had no sink, so had to brush our teeth in shower and no plug sockets to charge phone. All guest charged phones and cameras in the reception which meant you had to sit there and wait while your things charge. Apart from that the service was great. Front desk staff were always... More

Three of us stayed here and it was the first place we stopped that had a room for 3. It wasn't the best but you can lock the door with your own lock and the AC sort of worked. Now that I have visited the area a bit I will look for something along Khaosan Rd next time.

We booked Marcopolo as a last minute resort for one night, new years eve. It was the cheapest option (500B), and while we weren't expecting much, it was still disappointing. The reception is dingy and people can smoke inside (not appealing to us), and the wifi only works along one side of that room. Our room was like sleeping in... More

Well I was traveling alone and I just booked the hostel because of the price and their website looked like it was descent room. Maybe It was because I booked for only one person. But cold cement floor, extreamly thin walls (yes you could hear the other guests breathing), no cleaning of the room in the 3 nights i was... More

450 baht gets you a very soft small bed, mozzie infested windowless room with no plug sockets for your devices. They could not find my friend's booking so the service was questionable. The worst thing is that you can hear all the music from the clubs downstairs all night so do not expect to actually get any sleep. You can... More

We booked two nights at the Marcopolo hostel on the kaosan road in Bangkok as it had been linked to from the website a friend had recommended. The pictures on the website looked good and it seemed like good value for the money (650 baht a night for a deluxe room). The place sadly fell short of our expectations by... More
