The Mixx Hostel

Worst hostel ever mold on the bed sheets if I could give it no stars I would, never usually complain about places I've stayed at but it has to said worst place I've ever stayed.. we also gave them our laundry to do 40B per kg which seemed good until we got it back they said they'd put it in a washing machine but it was clear they just put it in a bucket of hot water or some nothing lol that. Our clothes still smelt and there were mold stains that weren't there before!!

Staff not very friendly. Bed was okay but not especially comfortable. Free drinking water and a good location if you want to go out, but don't expect a good night's sleep with the noise from the road downstairs and all the bars. Just because you're not directly on Khao San road doesn't mean it's quiet! Considering its location you would expect there to be a good atmosphere but the staff don't really encourage that, and seemed to prefer to market the hostel at families which seemed a bit odd. We were asked to keep the noise down at 10pm in the lobby, and for a few nights I had a whole family in my dorm, from grandparents to young children, which seemed a bit strange given the hostel's location. The showers and toilets are a bit dingy and don't always work. They were often cleaning or fixing them and I would be told that they would be done in 'half an hour' but they wouldn't be ready three or four hours later which was very inconvenient. It's okay if you really need somewhere to stay, and the price isn't too bad, but there are cheaper places on all the streets nearby and I wouldn't recommend it here, mainly because of the staff. I was not made to feel welcome - at one point I was in the communal area and a member of staff kept turning off the fan despite the heat, and despite my asking him not to; it seems that he was more concerned about the cost to the hostel (the minute cost of running a fan for a while!) than about the comfort of the guests.
