Double B Hostel

Alles war super stimmig und das Personal außerordentlich freundlich. Absolut empfehlenswert. Super leckeres Café im Gebäude.

It was perfect and affordable

Nothing

The surprise is when you walk inside the hostel.

Location is away from tourist attractions, however, easily assessable by Grab (taxis).

It looks cool and hip and seem to be quiet new, as well as in decent condition. Beds are really comfortable and the A/C is super.

However, I don’t get the high ratings for this place. It was the combination of the ratings and the design that drew my attention to book — and to be honest, my expectations weren’t at all fulfilled. This place is a lot more about the looks than actually being a convenient hostel. The seating feels weird to sit in because it’s a hip and expensive coffee place included in the hostel, so I always ate outside. The toilets in the dorm areas are some of the tiniest I have ever experienced. It felt like I had to tuck my feet behind my ears just to make it fit. No toilet paper by 12 in the morning, an overfilled rubbish bin, also no hand paper and no soap at the sinks — which is kind of annoying for a fancy place like this. But now to the most annoying part, which made me write this review in the first place. Check-out is at 12 a.m., though the hostel was completely empty. They have plenty of cameras upstairs, including one that can almost peek into the shower section when moving out and accessing the wardrobe. There is also a telephone with which they can ring you — which they did, pleasantly, two days in a row. One day, I was five minutes late to check out and they called me by name asking for it. The second day, they called at 11:57 while I was in the shower, and again at 12:04 when I was already finished and about to come down. I haven’t experienced anything like this ever. It felt like Big Brother was watching, and this is not it. Sorry, but that’s one of the rudest things I’ve experienced so far. Let me know that I’m late once I’m done — worst case, charge me extra. But please do not watch me like an animal and call me. Thanks, but no thanks. Never again. There are so many better options, especially at this price point, which is a lot for a hostel in Bangkok. Never again.
