The Blocks Hostel Sukhumvit 10

The rooms measure between 18 and 30 m² and range from mixed and female-only dormitory beds to private rooms with king, queen and twin beds, with the Triple Room sleeping up to four guests.

Several rooms have a private bathroom with a shower and toiletries, and some add a bathtub, a refrigerator or an in-room safe box. Netflix streaming and flat-screen TVs appear in a number of rooms, air conditioning appears in several of them, and hair dryers, reading lights and towels are part of the room set-up in many of them. The dormitory rooms have a bunk bed, while the private rooms have a king, queen or twin bed.

The hostel has an elevator and a terrace, along with a game room, lockers, luggage storage and safety deposit boxes. Express check-in and check-out are offered, and daily housekeeping is provided. Security is 24 hours, and the public areas are air-conditioned. A shared kitchen and a game room give guests space to spend time indoors.

A shared kitchen is available for guests. Free Wi-Fi covers all rooms and the public areas, internet services are also offered, and English and Thai are spoken at the property.

The hostel has a 24-hour front desk, so help is available around the clock, while check-in itself runs from 14:00 to 20:00. English and Thai are the languages spoken at the property, and the terrace is one of the common areas.

The hostel sits on Sukhumvit Soi 10 in the Klongtoey district of Bangkok, in a busy stretch of the Sukhumvit corridor where hotels, small shops and street food stalls line the side streets. It is a practical choice for travellers who want to be close to the skytrain and to Bangkok's central neighbourhoods without staying in the old city. Hotels, street vendors and the BTS stations sit within a short distance of each other, which keeps the area easy to explore on foot.

Asok and Nana BTS stations are about 350 m away, and a 7-Eleven and an ATM are 150 m away. Siam Paragon, the large shopping centre near Siam Square, is 2.6 km away, and Jim Thompson House, a museum of Thai silk in a teak house, is 3.4 km away. Soi Cowboy, a lively lane of bars, lies 500 m off.

For a full day out, combine a walk around Sukhumvit with a visit to Jim Thompson House, then head to the older quarter for the Grand Palace and Wat Arun. Chatuchak Weekend Market, a large weekend market with thousands of stalls, is a separate trip for a weekend morning. Benchakitti Forest Park, a green space with a lake, is a nearby place for a quiet break.
