Internet access is available in the public areas as well as in the rooms.

The hostel sits in Bangkok's Khaosan area, part of the old city in Phra Nakhon district, where guesthouses, street-food stalls and budget hostels line the lanes. The area is lively in the evenings, and the temples of the old city are close by. Khaosan is a neighbourhood of backpacker guesthouses and small hotels, while the larger malls and shopping districts such as Siam are a little further away.

The Grand Palace is 850 m away, with the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew) inside its complex, and Wat Phra Chetuphon, known as Wat Pho and famous for its giant reclining Buddha, is 700 m away. Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, stands across the Chao Phraya river. For the metro, Sam Yot MRT Station is 500 m away, while Suvarnabhumi Airport is 27.9 km away and Don Mueang Airport is 21.6 km away.

A good day could start at the Grand Palace and Wat Pho, then cross the river to Wat Arun before returning to Khaosan Road for an evening meal. Evenings on Khaosan Road are busy with street food and bars, a contrast with the quieter temple grounds during the day, and the old city is easy to explore from one base.
