Around Ari Hostel

Super clean and new.

The common area is surprisingly spacious for a small hostel, and it’s arranged with separate spots for relaxing, eating, and preparing food. The pillows, blankets, and towels are all very clean. It’s a new, quiet place that doesn’t feel crowded, with just one private room and one 6-bed dorm. The owner was always helpful, which I really appreciated. A few things to keep in mind: the hostel is in Soi Pradipat 14, about 50 meters from the beginning of the soi, so it isn’t far in. BTS Saphan Khwai station is about 1 km away. You can walk, but it might get tiring, so I’d recommend a taxi or Muvmi. Each dorm has one ensuite bathroom, which could mean a long wait during busy morning hours if the hostel is full. Space in the 6-bed room is limited, like in most hostels, and it may feel cramped if everyone brings large suitcases.

The owner was very helpful, and I was really impressed. This mixed-gender hostel is in a single-story house near the main road. The dorms have bunk beds and can feel a little small, mostly just for sleeping. Each bed has a power outlet, and there are small lockers and two shared bathrooms. The common area has new furniture and is well kept, with staff cleaning every day. There’s a coin-operated washing machine, a workspace, and a microwave.
