BRB Hostel Bangkok Silom

Will stay again and recommend to others

Pros: Already reviewed, I booked a 3rd night because I wanted an extra night in Bangkok and no question as to where I would stay because I would pick here everytime :) friendly staff, clean cosy bed in cubical style and private an location is fantastic

Cons: Nothing for me it is perfect place to stay in Bangkok

My fave place to stay in Bangkok, will return again

Pros: I love this place so friendly and clean and was nice to be remembered from my trip 2 years ago, as I solo female traveller I felt safe at all times. The staff are friendly welcoming and helpful and I adore beautiful cats outside :) also the gentleman often found outside I’m not sure if he owns the cats but he is very nice and friendly too, everyone always smiling. The dorms are clean and cosy cubical style, I have stayed in a private room before and it was just as clean and very spacious. Great price and location my go to place each time I return to Bangkok. Maybe see you again next year :)

Cons: Nothing to dislike about the property, I did catch a man 3 times from the dorm across from the ladies shower room/toilets using the women’s bathroom despite sign saying women only, for me this is a minor annoyance as men pee on the seat but for some women this could be unpleasant getting out the shower to find a man stood there.

Comfortable beds and common area, unpleasant urine smell

Pros: Excellent location. Comfortable firm beds. Before checking in and after checking out we could stay in the common areas and use the kitchen. Staff is helpful and respectful. There are games like cards and monopoly. There is a coin based washing machine and a dryer (though unfortunately no detergent). The common areas is nice to hang around, though the atmosphere isn’t really social.

Cons: It was too cold in the room, had to complain about this multiple times before it was fixed. It is expected we walk bare foot in all areas, even the toilets, but it is not clean. It was kind of disgusting to walk barefoot on wet bathroom/toilet floors with hair strands all over. Also, as each floor only has a female or male bathroom, men were using female bathroom and toilet frequently. Personally I don’t care if a man sees me walking out of the shower, but the mess they leave (not flushing, urine stains on the floor, lifted toilet seat) was disgusting. The hostel should install a fine for those who use the wrong toilets/bathroom. Also, the urinals in the male toilets were stinking horribly, and the bathroom doors are always open. I would suggest cleaning the bathrooms/toilets more than once a day and putting deodorizing/cleaning blocks in the urinals to eliminate the stench. The entire floor was stinking most of the times due to this. Imagine urine stench combined with hot humid air (the hallways aren’t air conditioned) while climbing stairs 🤮 . Also, the ground- and 1st floor always smelled bad like a male changing room because people leave their sneakers outside the lockers as there aren’t enough lockers and this area is not ventilated.

A well located and cozy hostel perfect for Bangkok

Pros: The hostel is nice located close to Dala Deang station. It's clean and my single room was nice. i liked how the room was made, painting on the wall, nice lights and a table. The private bathroom was also very big in comparison to the hostel. I got a lot of space

Cons: As with a lot of hostels, I don't like the way they store the shoes, this area is always messy and smelly. But it's a hostel thing, it's not specifically different here but also not much better than in others. I didn't like that I didn't have a window in the room and that it was not mentioned.

Easy locomotion

Pros: The place has a great location with easy access to everything.

Cons: The only thing that displeased was the bed, it has a very hard mattress (very hard like stone) I had difficulty resting properly.

Pros: Bed is big, comfy and curtains give privacy. Good toilets, nice chill out area. Great location.

Cons: Aircon too cold.

Good value and central location

Pros: The hostel was in a good location; at the end of a quiet street but in a lively area. There were plenty of shops and restaurants in the area and, importantly, a good launderette 100 metres away. Very good for transport connections from both airports and Ekkamai bus station (to Ko Samet). My room was not large, but good enough, and clean. The shower was good. Good wifi. Even though it was by the stairs it was not noisy. I would stay here again.

Cons: No lift so I had to carry my suitcase to the 2nd floor. But that wasn't too bad, and it is a hostel fter all!

I come back again and again. See you next time:-)

Pros: Staff and location. It's a very nice place and they have a kitchen so you can make your own food. They have a few spaces for work downstars if you're a digital nomade. Location! A few minutes to skytrain and shoppingmalls. Supermarket around the corner. And close to Lumpinipark to.

Cons: The beds are hard to be honest. I would love if they changed the matresses.

Pros: Quite clean in general. Good air-conditioning. Small guest pantry is good that I could make a tea myself and BJ use the fridge.

Cons: To me, the pillow is too thin and the bed is a bit hard. It would be good if they remove the urinals in the male toilet as they can be smelly... since some guests may forget to flush after use.. Actually, there are enough toilet bowls inside the toilet already.

Pros: Excellent location and affordable price. The staff were very accommodating and helpful.

Cons: Bad smell the shoes when you get inside, and there is no lift, so you need to go upstairs.
