Overall a solid hostel for the price, but it’s not social at all. If you want to stay in Bangkok with a lower budget this is a good place to stay at

Disliked: Cleanliness
ISanook used to be a premium stay in inner Bangkok. This is my 4th visit, and the cleanliness has really gone downhill. Its not really the staff's fault imo, as guests are leaving piles of cosmetics etc in the bathrooms. Many toothbrushes just sitting around, very unhygienic. Maybe there are people staying long-term.

Choose another hostel..rating 1 star

This hostel is not near any good cafes or food sources and hard to find as it is in Alley..it was dirty in the showers and they were not cleaned of hair innthe drain or shower liquids resupplied. Toilet paper ran out in all 5 toilets..Women dorm cramped and construction going on so noisey all morning thru day. The pictures of fun and meeting people at this hostel is not true. I would choose somewhere else. I left 1 day earlier

Pontos fortes: Excelente atendimento por parte dos funcionários Localização de fácil acesso para quem está de carro Cama confortável Observações: O quarto, a recepção e a cozinha possuem ar-condicionado, mas os corredores e os banheiros são bastante quentes. A internet é instável e cai com frequência. Seria interessante melhorar a privacidade nos quartos: não há cortinas individuais entre os beliches, então, ao abrir a cortina de um, a luz acaba atrapalhando o outro hóspede. Atenção ao reservar: verifique com cuidado no site para não confundir o hostel com o hotel. O bar e o restaurante estão localizados no hotel, e não no hostel.

ホテルの写真には、タオルがベットの上にあったので無料付属だと思ったら、デポジットを払って、いちいちフロントに交換に行かないといけない。シーツも言わないと交換してくれない。夜間はフロントに人がいなくて、西洋人のマネージャーのような人が、朝になったらスタッフに言ってと、適当な対応をするので、問題解決に至らない。夜間、フロント対応をする人が全く居ない日もあって、タオルを借りられず、脱いだ服で体と髪を拭く羽目に。１台しかない固定式のドライヤーは連続使用すると壊れる。部屋の中で明かりを付けて会話したり音楽を聴く客が多いのに（談話室はあるのだが）それぞれのベットにカーテンも無く、眩しい+うるさいで、眠れない。タイ人スタッフはほとんどが親切でいい人。

I enjoyed my stay in isanook hostel very much! Bed is clean and good, with many plugs available(up to 4!) beside the bed, and comes with independent bed lights. Kitchen There is a washing machine and dryer at the 2nd floor with a fee, also a place to hang your clothes beside it. Wifi speed is super fast, it expires every 3 days and you will need to get a new password if you're planning to use the wifi more. Bathroom is great! All as in photos exactly. Clean and sparkling, just dryer Cleanliness Comfort

最高のバンコクでの旅の思い出

良い点:格安かつ安心して、寝心地のよいベッドで快適な滞在ができた。スタッフがみんなとても親切。徒歩30秒のところにある小さな家族経営のタイ料理屋さんが激ウマ！！英語のメニューがあり、店主さん家族もとてもフレンドリー。３日連続でランチに通い、どの料理もプロの料理人の味のよう。良心価格。またこの宿に泊まりたい。 改善点:改善しようがないが、観光スポットから若干離れているから立地が悪いのは致し方ない。女子トイレに備えつけられているドライヤーの風圧が弱い。女性用シャワーの水圧が弱い(原因不明)。EVがないため、重い荷物を持っている人には急な階段を上がるのはきついかもしれない。

Everything was overall good in the hostel! Definitely one of the best hostels I have ever stayed. One thing to improve is for the staff in the reception to learn more about Bangkok, as we were asking some questions and answer was usually I don't know.

Väldigt rent och trevligt! Jättetrevlig och hjälpsam personal! Litet minus för att där inte fanns större skåp i sovsalarna, så man kunde inte låsa in sin stora väska. Men ändå tillräckligt stort för värdesaker + lite annat. Annars hur bra som helst! Skulle absolut besöka igen!
