Several rooms have a shared bathroom with a shower. Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms, and the rooms receive daily housekeeping, so guests find them tidy each day.

The hostel has a bar with a pool table, darts and a foosball table, a large screen TV, and a restaurant serving a la carte food. Continental breakfast is served, and the drinks menu covers local and international beers, cocktails and spirits.

For daily needs there is luggage storage, lockers, a concierge, a shared lounge and TV area, and daily housekeeping. Security is provided around the clock, and free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms and public areas. Staff at the concierge desk can help with local recommendations and transport arrangements.

Azure Hostel Bangkok stands on Phra Sumen Road in Phra Nakhon, the old city of Bangkok, in the Khaosan area. Around it are temples, palaces and museums, and Khaosan Road, the backpacker street with its guesthouses and street-food stalls, is 800 m away. Because the old city is compact, most sights are a short walk or a short ride apart.

The Temple of the Emerald Buddha, 1.5 km away, sits within the grounds of the Grand Palace, which is 1.7 km from the hostel, so the two can be seen in one visit. Wat Arun stands on the far bank of the Chao Phraya River, across the water from the old city. The Sam Yot MRT Station is 1.2 km away for trips to other parts of the city, and a pagoda temple, Wat Parinayok Worawihan, is close to the hostel.

A day could begin at the Grand Palace and the Emerald Buddha, then continue across the river to Wat Arun, and end with an evening on Khaosan Road, where the street stalls and bars stay busy late. Because the hostel is close to both the old city and the metro, the route can be changed easily, with taxis or a river boat as connections.
