I booked the hostel, despite its relative distance from the city center, because of the themed room. I like unique rooms with character. I was also expecting it to be in a quieter neighbourhood away from many peddlers and vehicles. The nearest public transport I could find is the Hua Mak which is a 15-20 minute walk and could get you to the city center or directly to BKK airport. I'd probably enjoy the hostel more if I stayed in it most of the time. The design is well thought of, with obvious attention to detail from the lavatory down to the coffee cups. It more than compensates for its lack of a lift (which is perfectly understandable as it was an old structure.) My room's air conditioning couldn't cool the room though even at its lowest setting. But looking forward to try out its other rooms. Breakfast was limited but elegantly served and sufficient.
