clean, friendly, helpful, and well-run; excellent value for money

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Feb 17, 2016
The staff at Link Corner were all very welcoming and friendly. They let me store my large bags in the luggage storage room for my entire stay. They showed me around, showed me to the mixed dorm I was assigned to, and explained the basic rules of the hostel to me. The room and the shared bathroom were both very clean. This is probably mostly due to their policy of no eating or drinking (except water) anywhere in the hostel except in the first floor lobby/kitchen area. It's a bit of a nuisance, but it's worth it to not have to deal with insects everywhere.

The showers were surprisingly clean, had plenty of hooks for clothes and towels, and 24-hour hot water.

The air conditioning in the dorm room worked very well. The lockers in the dorm room were clean and large enough for a decent-sized backpack, or two smaller backpacks. Guests just have to provide their own lock. Towels are not provided, but can be rented from the front desk for less than $1. Washing machines and laundry detergent are available for less than $2, with racks for air drying.

The people at Link Corner also gave me advice about the neighborhood around the hostel, things within walking distance, as well as destinations around the city.

The 1st floor (European numbering, so 1st floor is above the ground floor) is a nice chill space with couches, pillows, a public computer, air conditioning, and good wifi. Unlike many hostels in Thailand, there was good, strong wifi everywhere in the building, not just near the reception area.

The only real issue is the lack of an elevator in a 6-story building. Be aware of this before you book.

The neighborhood was interesting and livable. Ratchaprarop Street had street food and shops, and nearby side streets had affordable massages and restaurants, as well as shopping areas with souvenirs, snacks, sweets. Rangnam Street had lots of street food and restaurants, coffee and dessert shops. Directly across the main intersection is a 7-Eleven, and next door to that is a place called D' Desktop, which has western breakfasts (French toast, fried meats, toast with jam), *real* coffee (from real beans and an espresso machine, not Nescafé), and co-working space.

As explained in the listing, Link Corner is right next to the Ratchaprarop Station on the airport link line to/from BKK (Suvarnabhumi Int'l Airport). It's also a short walk to the Phaya Thai BTS station, as well as to boat taxis that can take you toward the center of the city.

Basically, my whole experience at Link Corner ranged from positive to fantastic. I would stay there again in a heartbeat, and I would recommend it to friends. Excellent value for money. Excellent service.

Super fast, free Wifi and a room just to work/chill with cozy furniture.
Super fair price, open kitchen, the nicest staff to spend an evening talking with.
No matter if single or bunked bed room - always worth it.
I wouldn't recommend any other place.

For the cheap price and perfect location next to the airport line and shopping streets it was what we asked for. But the rooms next to the road was terribly loud - now I know for sure that Bangkok never sleeps. Due to the hostel's central location, it will be loud from the streets, I can accept this but a warning might have been nice. Very friendly staff! Nice and helpful! No safety Box in the double room. I would recommend this hostel if you are on a budget and want a very central location!

Highly recommended as place is close to shopping and food 5-10mins walk. 2 mins walk to the airport train, food stalls, massage, hair salon, pharmacy. This is my 3rd solo stay at this place and I feel safe and secure (very important) even though bathrooms are shared. No issues with WiFi and the staff are pleasant and helpful and responsible. Overall I like this place for convenience, safety and the price is good. Highly recommended.

It is a very good hostel that you can choose as a backpacker. The price is cheap enough, the room is clean, and the receptionists are extremely friendly. It's close to the mrt station and reachable to bts station by 10 minutes walking
