Bed@Town Hostel

Bed@Town Hostel offers mainly dormitory rooms with bunk beds, along with a few rooms for two guests and a female family room. Rooms can have air conditioning, a shared bathroom with a shower, a locker and blackout curtains, depending on the room, which suits budget travellers and backpackers looking for simple, affordable beds.

Bunk beds are the usual sleeping arrangement, the rooms sleep one to three people, and the bathrooms are shared with other guests. Several rooms have a locker for keeping belongings secure, some have a city view, a window or a TV, and free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms.

The front desk at Bed@Town Hostel is open 24 hours, and the hostel offers luggage storage, lockers, currency exchange, a laundry service and daily housekeeping. Guests can use the shared lounge and TV area, and soundproof rooms are offered too. Staff speak English and Thai.

The hostel also has a concierge, a doorman, postal service, car hire and a taxi service, along with a convenience store on the property. Bottled water is available, and the public area has air conditioning. Free Wi-Fi in the public areas and internet services are also part of the facilities, so guests can get online outside their rooms too, and the hostel's public areas have the same air conditioning.

Rajadamri Road runs through the Siam district of Bangkok, one of the busiest shopping and transport areas in the city. Bed@Town Hostel sits in the Patumwan district, where malls, offices and food stalls share the streets with the hostel. Big C Rajdamri and Isetan Bangkok are both a short distance away, so shopping is close at hand.

Getting around is easy by BTS: Chit Lom station is 500 m away, and the Airport Rail Link station at Ratchaprarop, 650 m away, runs to Suvarnabhumi Airport, which is 23.5 km from the hostel. Don Mueang International Airport, 19.5 km away, is the other main airport. Jim Thompson House, a museum in a traditional teak complex, is 1.4 km away.

Pathumwananurak Park is a green space in the same district, and the Erawan Shrine is a busy stop on the way. A good day starts with the park, then the Erawan Shrine, where worshippers bring flowers and garlands, before a walk to Siam Paragon, a large shopping centre with an aquarium and cinemas. Erawan Shrine, Chit Lom and Siam Paragon all sit close together on the Siam side of the city. The Grand Palace and the riverside temples are a longer trip across the city, so plan them as a separate day.
