ViVit Hostel Bangkok

ViVit Hostel Bangkok offers dormitory rooms and double rooms. The dormitories are either mixed or reserved for women, and they have bunk beds. There are also beds in shared rooms, one of them in a female dormitory, for guests who want a bed rather than a private room. The double rooms have a queen bed and are set up for two guests.

The dormitories and the double rooms share their bathrooms with other guests. Some rooms overlook the street and others the city, and several have air conditioning. Free Wi-Fi covers all the rooms, so guests can stay connected in every room of the hostel.

ViVit Hostel Bangkok has a 24-hour front desk, a bar, a garden and a coffee shop. Breakfast is served as a buffet, and a continental breakfast is also offered.

Luggage storage, lockers and a laundromat are available, and dry cleaning is offered as well. The hostel has daily housekeeping, an elevator, a shared lounge with a TV area, a library, a game room, ticket services and a gift and souvenir shop, along with a convenience store.

The hostel has 24-hour security, paid parking is available nearby, and Wi-Fi covers the public areas as well as all the rooms of the hostel. Guests can communicate with staff in English, Mandarin Chinese and Thai.

Tanao Road runs through the Khaosan area of Phra Nakhon, the historic district of Bangkok where the royal palaces and some of the oldest temples are concentrated. The streets are busy with street food, guesthouses and small shops, so the neighbourhood suits people who want to walk to the sights and enjoy an active evening. Most of the sights are close enough to reach on foot from the surrounding streets, so a car is rarely needed for sightseeing.

Khaosan Road, the backpacker street, is 700 m away. The Grand Palace is 800 m away, with the Temple of the Emerald Buddha inside its walls, and the Giant Swing stands beside Wat Suthat, a major royal temple. Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn on the Chao Phraya riverbank, is 1.4 km away. For trips across the city, Sam Yot MRT Station is 850 m away, and Suvarnabhumi Airport is 28.1 km away.

A good first day is the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha in the morning, then a walk to Wat Suthat and the Giant Swing, ending on Khaosan Road in the evening, where the bars and street food stalls are a good way to finish the day.
