dara three hostel

The dormitory rooms all measure 30 m² and have bunk beds, no windows and a shared bathroom. Each of them has an electric kettle, a hair dryer, a shower, toiletries and towels, and wireless internet access comes with them.

Some of the dormitories have air conditioning and blackout curtains. The blackout curtains help keep the light out during the day. A further room is allocated on arrival, sleeps up to three guests and has wireless internet access.

Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms, and the hostel has a garden. Paid parking is available on site, alongside bicycle parking.

For luggage and laundry, the hostel offers luggage storage, lockers, a laundry service, dry cleaning and an ironing service. A shared kitchen is available, along with a shared lounge and TV area and Xerox and fax facilities in the business center, and the hostel also has a dry cleaning service on site.

The hostel has 24-hour security, air conditioning in the public areas, and private check-in and check-out arrangements. Staff speak English and Thai, and the shared lounge with a TV gives guests a place to sit between outings around the city.

The hostel is in the Khaosan area of Bangkok, in the Banglamphu neighbourhood, where Khao San Road is 600 m away. The street is known for its guesthouses, street food stalls and bars, and it is the best-known travellers' street in this part of the city, so the area is busy with visitors from morning to night.

Within a short walk you will find Norrarat Market, the Pipit Banglamphu History Museum and Wat Mai Amatarot, a pagoda in the same streets. The Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew) and The Grand Palace are a short taxi ride away, at 1.6 km and 1.8 km. Don Mueang International Airport is 20.1 km away and Suvarnabhumi Airport is 28.1 km away.

A good day starts with the temples of the old city: the Emerald Buddha and the royal palace, then a walk across to Wat Arun on the far bank of the river. Wat Arun sits across the Chao Phraya River, reached by a boat from the piers near the old city, so plan the river crossing as part of the day. In the evening, the stalls and bars of Khao San Road are a short walk back from the hostel.
