Varinda Hostel

We stayed just one night because we had a fligth to chiang mai the following day. The staying was really nice and it is close to the centre and a metro station

Best thing about this hostel is that it is actually very near to Queen Sirikit MRT (via exit 4, u-turn after exit and turn left, walk pass the fence opening and go straight and turn right into small ally and turn left again to find Varinda Hostel signage). The hostel is very clean (relatively new) and we loved the cosy simple room layout. However, the staff do not provide daily room-cleaning service so you have to request for it when you leave for the day. It is also true that the staff do not know English at all, hence a google translator works better. Despite that, all the staff were very welcoming and will not hesitate one bit when we need help.

Though a little hard for my taxi driver to find, the place was quiet, clean and reasonably priced. There was also two bottles of ice cold Singha water waiting in the fridge. It is slightly off the beaten path, but in close proximity to a taxi waiting zone.

Very close to MRT station. Very secure, requires the use of a proximity card to access the office and the room building. Hot water, tea and coffee in the office. Very comfortable bed, firm but not stone hard. Clean, university size fridge and free bottled water. Internet is not very reliable. Area is ok, narrow streets, dimly lit but full of locals, small business, street food stalls. Across from the convention center to which you can walk to using the MRT station as an underpass for the road.
