Holiday Station Hostel

4 Benjamin Kuehn - 3 years ago

Great hostel, arrived without reservations and we're able to get a mixed room with 4 beds for 240 baht a night plus a 300 baht deposit for a key that they reimburse every dollar when you give it back. There's places to charge your device's along with showers and a good bed. Only problem is you get one thing blanket but there is a heater if you need to.

Stayed for one night in a private double room. The room reeked of mold and was extremely musty, and the bathroom was dirty. Had we not arrived late at night, we would have left. Run away. Even at this cheap price point, I don't expect a moldy room.

We rented a 4 bed dorm it was nice u0026 clean u0026 not in a bad location. Beds were fine. A good place to stay. Bunk beds are solid with no noise u0026 each bed has a light and a plug. The lockers we had could be opened when locked they were bad , appart from that it was good.

It was a cool hostel, but the rooms were not what we're pictures when we placed our reservations. The air conditioning was also quite loud. But overall they were clean and the beds were comfortable, and the staff were very pleasant

Let me count the ways in which this hostel was quite simply awful. 1. Our double bed suite was frankly a prison, lacking any windows or sources of natural light. 2. The "AC" box rooms have centralized cooling running through them only from 6 PM to 9 AM the next day. This means in the absence of any other form of air flow (remember there aren't any windows or any fans), the room can get incredibly stuffy, airless, and hot. 3. The "private" room's air conditioning is not only subject to the hostel's ridiculous policy but also that of your neighbors. Despite being in a pod by yourself, the cooling functions in a quadrant fashion, so your neighboring room's inhabitants feeling hot translates into your room's cooling being turned down—just so you can have the pleasure of waking up sweaty and out of breath. And all of this within that infuriating time period when they're supposed to be running the cooling! If I wanted to be a victim to my roommates' whims and fancies, I would have selected a dorm. 4. The place lacks any sort of ambiance and holds no events to bring people together. 5. The bathrooms are rarely cleaned. Once a day is hardly enough when the volume of people using it is high. There's pee on the seats, wet floors, and toilet paper strewn about soaking it all in. It also doesn't smell too great. 6. The temperature adjustment for the shower head is placed out of reach of women, unless you're of the Amazonian variety, you won't be getting your hands on that! 7. The "beds" are mattresses on the floor. 8. The electric outlet (yes, just the one) is inconveniently placed. 9. The receptionists are barely conversant in English and almost always rude, unhelpful, apathetic, and almost reluctant to acknowledge a paying customer's presence. Don't expect any help from them should you have a problem with the facilities. 10. A towel is not a suitable replacement for a blanket. 11. There aren't enough hangers to dry your clothes on. 12. There is no lift so expect to carry your luggage up by yourself with no help from the staff.
On the other hand, the rooms are clean, they offer free usage of board games and hammocks, free printouts, and have a couple of nice people at the front desk.

Stayed in the twin room with private bathroom and it was nice. Good air conditioner and had a decent tv. 2nd night the room was booked and so we had to change to twin room with shared bathroom which was terrible. No air conditioning so it was really humid at night and the mattress was just on the floor.

An old ancient theatre that is renovated into a hostel. Very convenient place..rooms are clean and good security. There is also a washing machine to wash your clothes (30 bahts only) ..nice lobby to relax and very close to the market and main Street
