Luk Hostel

Had 2 days in Bangkok , I and my bestfriend chose this hostel and we had suchhh an amazing time here. Its not a party hostel but its not a sober bare minimum hostel either. Its got the right balance. The beds were nice , the bathrooms were clean , not a fan of the cloth drying system , but I loved everything else. It was my first time in a tourist hostel. The people we met here were so kind and we made friends we wish to always stay in touch with. Its a good place overall. The breakfast was lovely and the location is fun. Chinatown has good places to eat , night markets and you get to alot of places under 20 min drive.

I didn’t like the breakfast…. It’s included but I left the place cause I couldn’t eat the same thing everyday. The toast is completely soggy, so it’s not really a toast, it’s a soft bread…. The breakfast don’t include coffeeee!!!!!! You have to pay for it and it’s around 80baht….. Also the quantity of the breakfast is very small.. you can’t repeat, they give you a dish and that’s it. Very disappointing, specially for a place that has their own cafe (open to the public too, not just guests). The second reason I left is cause every morning the cleaning ladies simply open the door of the room, switch on the lights and TURN OFF the AC, at 11am sharp. I felt like I was in a camp that wakes the kids up at a specific time and that’s it. Felt disrespected.. you cannot sleep without the AC cause the room has one small window for 24 people for example…. That was very annoying, felt like I couldn’t choose how much I wanted to sleep everyday. Also, there’s only one bathroom and it’s in a specific floor. Your room could be in different floors so you have to use the stairs all the time. Lastly, I felt that it was a bit antisocial hostel.. at least when I was there. Very very chilled, so if you trying to make friends this might not be your spot. The location is good, wifi works, the ladies in the reception are lovely and the beds are super comfortable.
