Suneta Hostel Khaosan

Not so easy to locate for the first time, but once there, zero regrets with the booking. This was probably the hostel with the most homely feel during my stay in Thailand. It just felt like everyone (staff and hostelmates) were like family. It's a cosy hostel with really cute decor in the common areas. The staff organised awesome social events like cookery classes, trips to watch the boxing and evening trips to Chinatown. I was there during Songkran and it was all just such a great laugh with everybody! Very happy memories to keep with me. Location is terrific. So close to Khao San Road yet not particularly noisy! The Airport bus takes you to a stop approx 60 secs from the hostel. Pro tip: There's a convenient AIS shop just around the corner so you don't need to get ripped off buying a tourist SIM from the airport vendors. I stayed in the city walls dorm and noticed a lack of daylight. The "train" dorm looks better in the photos! Just watch those steps going up to the dorms! Grab on to the rails and don't rush! I kept tripping up on that same uneven one every... single.... time!

Suneta is a very good hostel, large varied breakfast choices, snacks, very comfortable beds, strong ac. The area outside is Khaosan, enough said. Dirty and noisy. Great access to the river ferries though, just a short walk.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The hostel is in a great location and the staff were really lovely. Would advise not to book the private bunk bed room as it is just off the main kitchen/social area so can be loud throughout the night. We would stay again in a different room :)

Love the location, beds are really comfy. You get some priva with the curtains. Hot showers, free breakfast.

I loved the four resident cats, and the cabin bunks!

I've stayed at a ton of different hostels around Bangkok over the years, but Suneta has quickly become my favorite! It's two sois away from Khao San, one of them being Rambuttri, but it's very quiet at night and I got some very pleasant sleep here. I had a cabin room, and it does get a little warm in there so I kept the door open halfway at night which helped a bit. I think next time I will go for the curtain bed because of this, but it really wasn't much of an issue! The cabin beds have TV inside, and I'm not sure if it was just mine or all of them – but mine had no English channels, only Thai. But I didn't mind as I hadn't come there to watch TV. :) The air conditioning is on all day and the room itself is nice and cold. Be advised that in the cabin room (not sure about the other rooms), there aren't any lockers. This wasn't an issue for me as I just had a small backpack which I kept inside my cabin, but they do have luggage storage in the lobby. One of my favorite parts is that have four absolutely adorable cats! They hang out in the lobby. Just watch that you don't leave any little things around, as they'll surely find it to be a toy! :) Free breakfast was simple (toast with butter and jam with juice) and they also have a paid option for 69THB which includes sausages and eggs. Bathrooms were NEVER crowded – toilets and showers were abundant and always clean. Staff were so sweet. It was so nice talking with them in the morning and evening!

Absolutely amazing, had so much privacy in the cabin dorm when closed up yet it was really easy to meet people and chat in the lobby. First time solo traveller here, and this place definitely helped me get off on the right food. Would go back and would recommend.

It was a good experience. It was clean and i enjoyied beeing there

Had an awesome couple of nights stay. The place was clean the staff were friendly and the aircon was a life saver

I stayed in the 16 bed mixed dorm. Each bed has a curtain that wraps around your bed, giving you privacy. The room has cold AC which is a must. Shared bathrooms but very clean. Not sure if it has hot water, bc it was too hot outside so I only took cold showers. The reception was extremely helpful and very friendly. Definitely recommend. Great location!

Suneta was my first experience in a hostel and it was great. The staff was friendly and very helpful. They gave me advice about what to do and helped me book a bus to Sukhothai. You are given a free towel when you check in. The room was clean and well thought out. There was lots of room to put everyone's backpacks, and we all had small lockers to put valuables in. Each bunk has its own shelf, a light, electric outlet, and a rack to dry your towel on. The bathrooms were clean, and there were seperate stalls for men and women. The location was right near Khao San Road, and taxis and tuk tuks were plentiful. Overall this was a great experience, the best hostel I've stayed in yet!

The staff was outstandingly helpfull. And the comming áreas very nice wich makes even easier to meet travelers. Thanks for everything

Suneta Hostel is a great place to stay in Bangkok. It is walking distance to most of the major tourist sites (Grand Palace, Wat Saket, etc.). It's near Khao San Road but far enough away that you're not actually staying in all of the chaos. (The proximity to Khao San makes it virtually impossible to get terribly lost in the city, as any taxi/tuk-tuk knows right where to take you). The hostel was clean and secure. And you can even book awesome day-trips at the front desk. Overall, the hostel is an incredible value. The staff was a bit hit-and-miss. A few of them were friendly and pleasant, a few indifferent, and one was downright rude (actually rolled their eyes and pointed to the paper in front of them when I asked what was apparently a stupid question). So it's a bit annoying to not know what you're going to get each time you approach the desk, but I'm sure most guests will come and go with absolutely no problems. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Suneta and would recommend it to anyone traveling to Bangkok!

This place really is perfect for a hostel. It's just a couple streets away from Khoa San Rd, the guy at reception was super nice, you can buy beers for 35 baht, and everything is clean and quiet, what more could you ask for for such a cheap place!

For a hostel, I was extremely happy. The hostel is just 2 blocks from all the action. Staff was very helpful with info on what to do and how to do it. Each bed in the dorm has its own door to keep some privacy, which can also be locked when you are away. The shared bathroom and shower are limited but serve their function. For the price they charge, I am more than happy to stay there again.

Booked a capsule, it's what you'd expect... a capsule. The free breakfast is just cereal with milk, toast with jam, and fruit juice. There's nothing fancy here, but the staff are friendly, they keep the place very clean, and the decor creates a welcoming feeling. Overall, very impressed.

Brilliant place to stay; lovely staff, everything is clean and tidy, the laundry service and breakfast were excellent. Good quiet location where you can't hear the outside noise at all. In terms of a backpacker location it is perfect, the dorm I stayed in was very social and I got to know everyone, we ended up going out for a meal and drinks together and it was lovely. 5stars for Suneta!

NIce hotel, nice people (guests and staff), very helpful reception, free breakfast. They have painted a map of surrounding areas - close to palace, museum and markets. The street food carts below are tempting. Would definitely stay again here.

I really enjoyed my stay at Suneta and met some great people. The rooms were clean, as were the bathrooms, the staff were friendly and helpful and the lsundry service was good. The hostel has 2 Guinea Pigs and a Cat whic are all adorable. The hostle is in a good locstion with a shirt walk to the hustle and budtle of khao san road. Be careful of the lift doors; thry shut quickly! I would definitely stsy at this hkstel again and would recommend it to others.

The staff are very helpful and their english is excellent. The price is reasonable. Breakfast involves toast and juice, but paying 8 pound a night is a good deal. Next to many tourist attractions.
