A few days in bangkokB

This place was amazing. The room was very comfortable with a very chic boutique style. The room was very clean and there was no street noise. A great selection for breakfast. The main sights were walking distance and there are many good restaurants in the immediate area. Highly recommended.

The decor was nice and the handling of negative situations was good. The breakfast was the best every morning freshly made. There were a few issues at the start but once a complaint was made it was handled quickly and professionally. The location was not great for transport as it is in the old town part of Bangkok. Nevertheless, it's a lovely place to stay and would return here if staying in the old town part of Bangkok.

Nett eingerichtetes Hostel

Wir haben zwei Nächte hier übernachtet. Das Bett war gut, der Raum ohne Fenster und etwas hellhörig, aber ok da nicht so viele Leute im Flur lang gegangen sind. Das Frühstück konnte aus drei verschiedene Menüs auswählen und war in Ordnung. Leider liegt es direkt an einer viel befahrenen Straße.

Nira's was a great hostel to stay at. The place was super cute- loved the old elevator, the coffee shop, and our private room. Place was clean and a d the free breakfast was great. I would stay at Nira's again. Nira's staff was also went above and beyond. I booked the wrong dates and they helped us out without.

Лучший хостел в историческом центре Бангкока

Проживали в этом холтеле 2 ночи. Хостел находиться в историческом центр Бангкока в пешей доступности ко всем достопримечательностям единственный минус метро далековато но на лодке можно без труда добраться до делового центра. Но главный плюс этого хостела это его сотрудники они просто молодцы всегда всё подскажут помогут посоветуют!!!! Молодцы! В стоимость номера входит завтрак что для хостела большая редкость. Для короткой остановки в Бангкоке.

More of a cheap hotel

Doesn't really have a hostel feel. There are no areas to socialize nor do they organize social events like walking tours or pub crawls. The staff don't speak English very well and they seemed to be understaffed so it took a while to check in. The room was clean and the location is within walking distance to the Royal palace which is nice.

キレイなバンコク好きな女子向宿

若干不便な立地。 ドミトリーではなく個室だったにもかかわらず、部屋にミネラルウオーター、コップ、ドライヤー、アメニティ、ティッシュ、フェイスタオルなど必要なモノが無く、値段に見合っていない。 すでに予約時に全額支払が済んでいるにもかかわらず、現地で未精算て言われダブルで支払った。 おかしいと思い翌日再度調べてもらって間違いだとわかり返金処理はしてもらったが、カード処理なのではたして本当に返金されるかは？ 雰囲気は洒落たカフェ風なレセプションと道を挟んだ向かいに別棟の古いエレベーターがある(若干趣がある？)宿泊棟に分かれている。 (雨が降ったら濡れて困るかも？) 地元オシャレ女子が好む西欧風な宿で全くバンコクらしさはないので、キレイなバンコクを好む女子向かも？ バンコクは様々な宿泊施設があるので、わざわざ不便で高くてバンコクらしくないホテルを選ぶ必要は無いと思う。 唯一、すぐ近くにバンコクで行列ができるパッタイ屋さんがある事くらい。

Comfortable Hostel in the centre of Bangkok

So nice staff! All of them just very helpful and friendly. The hostel is cute with vintage decor and love everywhere you look and offers much comfort. It's almost in the centre, you can walk around there and see a lot by feet.

Süßes Hostel mitten in Bangkok

Super süßes Hostel mitten in der Altstadt, ca. 5 Gehminuten von Golden Mount und Great Swing entfernt. Der Königspalast ist in 15 Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen. Die Zimmer verteilen sich auf zwei Gebäude. Wir waren im Nebengebäude untergebracht. Das Zimmer hatte eine tolle Größe, zwei Bäder lagen direkt daneben, diese wurden ständig geputzt, so kam man immer in ein frisches Bad. Shampoo und Duschgel waren in der Dusche vorhanden. Handtücher gab es im Zimmer. Die Zimmer und Betten waren sehr sauber. Ab abends war immer eine Sicherheitskraft im Eingangsbereich, der kontrollierte, wer ein und ausgeht. So fühlte man sich sehr sichere. Safe im Zimmer war vorhanden. Leckere kleine Straßenrestaurants liegen direkt in der gleichen Straße, Seven Eleven direkt gegenüber. Das Team des Niras war jederzeit sehr hilfsbereit, zB mit Tipps, Zetteln mit Namen der Sehenswürdigkeiten auf Thai für die Taxifahrer, Infos zu Preisen etc.. Das Haupthaus inkl Café war sehr niedlich und liebevoll eingerichtet. Tolles und günstiges Hostel für einige Tage Sightseeing in Bangkok! Durch die zentrale Lage hört man den Verkehr natürlich etwas, aber das war kein Problem für uns. Durch die Lage in der Altstadt keine direkte Anbindung an skytrain oder Metro, das sollte man einplanen. Jedoch hatten wir eine sehr gute Quote an Taxifahrern die mir Taximeter gefahren sind, also auf jeden Fall fragen und im zweife einfach weitergehen.

Good hostel but nobody knew about our reservation

I have to say that I'm disappointed that our expedia-reservation was not recorded in their system when we arrived although we made our reservation for a Double Ensuite Room already 2 months prior to arrival! Staff was confused and had to check back several times with their manager. In the end, the general solution provided was very fair: Instead, we were given a 6-bed dorm room which we did NOT have to share with anyone else. Moreover, they even refunded the price difference. The dorm rooms are located in a different building across the street. Bedrooms and shared bathrooms were clean. Beds as well. But maybe a bit hard (subjectively). In our dorm room, the nightly sound level from the street was clearly audible even though the locked window did not point towards the street. For any temperature adjustment, we had to pick up the AirCon remote from the ground floor. And had to bring it back directly after because there seemed to be only one remote control for all AirCons in this building. Maybe that's the reason why sometimes the temperature had changed "magically". Well, this logic did not become accessible to me. The man sitting at the ground floor entrance hall could not be consulted referring to this matter because English was not one of his skills. Breakfast is good and coffee tastes great. All in all, Niras is a good hostel with an appealing interior design. However, there is some room for improvement and our reservation problem was hopefully part of their learning curve.

Magical stay...

Like the title above, magical I think is the only word I can come up with to describe our 5 days stay. Upon our arrival my girlfriend and I were greeted with a warm friendly welcome from the staffs, and have stayed this way until the minute we left. The hostel is in a good spot as within 15 mins you'd be able to reach most attractions in the old district, everything is clean and the attention to details is flawless. The only complaint i can come up with is that the aircon didnt have a remote to come with it and the tv wasnt working, not that it mattered though. For me the true jewel of the place is the staff and the atmosphere it creates. Leaving was difficult and I miss the place already...if you have a heart of a backpacker this is a place you must visit.

Go somewhere else - location. is poor

Hard beds - location is far away from everything. One stained towel each for the two night stay. Bed sheets had hairs on them on arrival. Only redeeming thing is that it is located on the same street as the best Pad Thai restaurant in Bangkok. Thi Samai.
