A7 Hidden Hostel

The hostel offers dormitory beds, bunk beds, futons and private rooms in one building. Several rooms have a city view, and several have air conditioning, linens, a hair dryer and a TV. Bathroom arrangements vary, with some rooms using a shared bathroom and one having a separate shower/bathtub. Rooms sleep from one guest up to six, depending on the room.

Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms. The shared lounge is the common space where guests can relax, with a large flat-screen TV, cable channels and plush sofas, and it is a place to meet other travellers. Staff at the front desk speak English and Thai.

The front desk is open 24 hours, and staff speak English and Thai. Luggage storage, lockers and safety deposit boxes are available for guests, and there is an elevator in the building.

Laundry service and dry cleaning are offered, and daily housekeeping is provided. A kitchen is available for guests, and the shared lounge and TV area gives guests a place to relax. Lockers, luggage storage and safety deposit boxes are all available, and the elevator serves the building.

On-site parking is available for guests who come by car. Guests who arrive by Skytrain can reach the hostel from Nana BTS Station, which is 50 m away, and the kitchen is open to guests for their own cooking.

The hostel is in a side alley off Sukhumvit Road, in the Nana area of Bangkok. Sukhumvit Road is a long, busy artery with side alleys leading off it, and the streets nearby have tailors, small shops and the Embassy of Sweden. Restaurants and bars line the lanes around Nana, and the area keeps going well into the evening.

Nana BTS Station is 50 m away and Asok BTS Station is 700 m away, so the Skytrain is the simplest way to reach the rest of the city. Siam Paragon, a large shopping centre, is 2.3 km away, and Jim Thompson House, the former home of the Thai silk pioneer, is 3.1 km away. Soi Cowboy, a nightlife street, is 850 m away, and both Bangkok airports, Don Mueang and Suvarnabhumi, are a longer journey out of the city.

A good day could start with the temples of the old city, then return by Skytrain to Siam for the shopping. Chatuchak Weekend Market operates at weekends, so it is worth planning a visit for a Saturday or Sunday, and the evening can end on Soi Cowboy, the nightlife street. Bring a plan for the Skytrain, since the stations are the easiest way to move between the old city and the shops around Siam.
