DDM House

The rooms at DDM House range from a 15 m² mixed dormitory with bunk beds to 18 m² family rooms that sleep up to five guests. Most rooms have single beds, and some pair a single bed with a king bed.

Most rooms have air conditioning and a private bathroom with toiletries and towels. Some also have an electric kettle, reading lights and blackout curtains, and one family room has a flat-screen TV with satellite or cable channels.

The hostel has a 24-hour front desk, 24-hour security, an elevator, lockers and luggage storage. Express check-in and check-out are available, along with daily housekeeping and an air-conditioned public area with a shared lounge and TV space.

For meals there is a restaurant, a bar and a coffee shop, and the property offers alternative meal arrangements. Guests can also spend time in the garden and on the terrace.

Free Wi-Fi covers all rooms, and Wi-Fi is also available in the public areas, so guests can stay connected in their room and in the common spaces. Car hire is available too. English, Korean and Thai are spoken at the property, and rooms can have a refrigerator and free bottled water.

DDM House sits in the Khaosan area of Phra Nakhon, the historic old quarter of Bangkok where royal palaces, temples and museums sit close together. The streets around the hostel are busy with backpackers, street food stalls and small shops, and the Chao Phraya riverside is close by.

Khaosan Road, 500 m away, is the best-known street in the area, lined with bars, street food and market stalls. The Grand Palace is 1.1 km away, and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, Wat Phra Kaew, is within the same complex. Across the river, Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, is 1.9 km away, and Phra Pin Klao Pier is 200 m from the hostel for riverside boats. The Bangkok National Museum is also close.

A good day starts at the Grand Palace, moves to the river for Wat Arun, and ends on Khaosan Road in the evening. The Bangkok National Museum is a good stop for Thai art and history and sits in the same old quarter, so the palace, the temples and the museum can be covered in one day. Thonburi Station is nearby for trains if you are heading elsewhere in the city, and the riverside is the easiest way to link the sights together.
