No.9 호스텔 칸차나부리

It’s a beautiful hostel in a great location. Rooms are quiet and air conditioned. Only issue was I arrived at 5 pm and no one around to check me in. I knocked and finally I went to someone else’s house to get help.

Stayed for 3 nights in B3. The receptionist was very welcoming on check-in and there’s a 200 deposit for the keys for the hotel and locker. She gave me a tour of the kitchen, bathrooms and the dorms. Mine had six beds, arranged capsule style. There was a locker assigned, but it was too small to fit my medium-sized backpack, so only my valuables went in the locker. There’s no window in the room, but it was large enough that it didn’t get humid when the AC was on. The bed had an electrical point, a private light and privacy curtains. The mattress was medium firm i.e soft by Asian standards. I slept comfortably all 3 nights. The two shared bathrooms each have a toilet. I only used one of the bathrooms during the stay and it was superbly clean. Shampoo and liquid soap are both supplied from dispensers. The shower worked well and I had no trouble getting warm water. I didn't try getting hotter water as the weather was insanely hot. Location wise, the hostel is located just to south of the train station approx 10 mins walk. Everything is on the doorstep inc. shops, massage, bars & restaurants. Overall, I had a fantastic style. I think the hostel is new as that's how everything looks. I only ever saw one staff member on duty and she was awesome. Very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Both the room and common areas were comfortable. I would have no hesitation in staying here again or recommending it to anyone.
