Ci home

Air conditioning is standard in every room at Ci home. The rooms range from a queen suite for one guest to a triple room, and they include a queen room with a balcony and a deluxe queen room.

Rooms have a private bathroom with a shower, toiletries and towels, and most of them include a flat-screen TV. Views depend on the room: the triple room and the queen room with a balcony have street views, and the deluxe queen room has a courtyard view. Hair dryers, slippers and ironing facilities can also be found in the rooms, so guests have the basics for a comfortable stay in the city centre.

The hostel has a game room with board games, arcade machines and video games, and a coffee shop on site. Alternative meal arrangements are offered, luggage storage is available, and private check-in and check-out can be arranged. Guests who arrive before the 14:00 check-in can leave their bags at the front desk, and the same luggage storage service is there for the day of departure after the 12:00 check-out.

The property is smoke-free, with non-smoking rooms and soundproof rooms, and it has 24-hour security. A family room is offered, and internet services are available along with WiFi in the public areas. The hostel is managed by a private host, so the self check-in instructions come directly from the property once a reservation is made.

Ci home sits in central Bangkok, in the busy neighbourhood around Hua Lamphong, the city's main railway station. The streets here mix shrines, markets and street-food stalls with the trains and traffic, and the area is convenient for travellers heading on by rail or metro. Street life runs through the day and into the evening, with vendors, the sound of trains and the bustle of the station all part of the setting, so the hostel suits guests who like to be in the middle of the city rather than in a quiet residential street.

Chao Mae Tubtim Shrine is 350 m away, and Sam Yan Market and the Chulalongkorn University Centennial Park are 400 m away. The university campus lies just beside the park. The Yaowarat Chinatown Heritage Center, a museum on the history of Bangkok's Chinatown, is a short walk on, and it is a good place to learn about the neighbourhood's trading past before an evening meal in the lanes nearby.

For a day of sightseeing, the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha are 3.4 km away, and Wat Arun on the Chao Phraya river is 3.5 km. Taxis are the simplest way to reach the old town, and the metro and trains will take you back to the hostel in the evening, while Don Mueang International Airport is 21.5 km away for departures.
