This was perfect. 110000VND/pax/night?, even cheaper than locally. The host was so friendly and provided free Thai pineapple cookies and water, and took away all trash quickly. The room can be as dark or light as you want, and very cold with the AC. Bathroom and sink are always clean, and the host didn't interrupt anything at all. Around the hostel were so many good food stalls, especially the milk oreo that I kept drinking and drinking. It was very close to a big mall, and you can go by car to Jodd Fairs and the airport in 30 minutes and 1 hour, respectively.

Dormitory room, clean bedding, soft mattress, clean toilet and common space, there is a kitchen where you can make coffee, tea or cook noodles. Location is close to the market, a short walk to 711 and the bus station. Friendly and enthusiastic host, deposit 500 baht when checking in, get it back when leaving. Location is a bit far from BTS

The receptionist is not always there all the time so make sure that you save their WhatsApp number. The door can be opened only if you have the key so you need to call them before you arrived. The hostel is quiet as only few travelers stay so I had the entire room for myself (of course in my bed) and the cleanliness is exceptional! Make sure to prepare 500 baht for deposit which will be returned when you leave.
