My cocoon Hostel Chaeng Watthana

Overall, this place isn't going to win an award for aesthetics. BUT everything's functional. It's a decent, very affordable, & convenient place to shower & sleep if you're in town for a concert at Impact Arena (only a ~5 min bike ride away). Beds aren't cramped, & are on the firmer side. Pillows are thick (mine was the fluffy kind). Room temperature to blanket thickness ratio is perfect. Privacy curtain is also thick & just the right size. Towels are super absorbent (like hotel standard), water pressure is strong & the water temperature can reach scalding. Showers also aren't cramped & have ample space (2 racks + hooks) to hang your towel + clothes. Only down side is that there's only 1 sink & there isn't a hand soap dispenser ready. Depending on the room you book, you might not have space to store your luggage within the room itself. Lockers come with a key but are located outside the rooms. & they're barely large enough to store a duffle bag vertically. There's a café & nicer restaurant just behind the building, & a cheap local food place that's 2 min walk. 7-11 located right across the street, & another that's 2 min walk away too. The owner is very kind, earnest, & tries his best. He cleans & maintains the place by himself (including washing the linens). I was so thankful he allowed me to check in early, & that on the last night of my stay, he took the initiative to switch me to a room of my own so I could at least get a good night's rest (because I unfortunately had a very inconsiderate bunkmate). I personally feel this place would benefit from having some house rules (to help with very inconsiderate guests), & the owner could use some help in maintaining certain areas in the space.

Friendly staff/owner I'm not sure. Safe and secure, near to the DMK airport which makes it convenient for travelers.

Nice location, clean restrooms and bathrooms. The staff is friendly and kind. I will definitely come back in this hostel.
