Cher Hostel Bangkok

The location worked well for events: Union Mall and Siam Paragon are nearby. Impact Arena is quite far, but I had no trouble booking a Grab or Bolt. There’s also a nearby bus stop if you’re comfortable using public transport. I stayed in the Girls' Dormitory for four days and three nights. The large bed fit me at 145 cm, and the soft pillow and duvet made it comfortable. The toilet and shower were right outside, as was the dining area since the dorm was on the M floor. The electric door locks helped me feel safe. I arrived early and had to head to an event before getting settled. The staff kindly let me check in, shower, and leave my things in the lobby. Breakfast had enough choices, and there’s a fridge for your food, with a note posted about when it will be cleared out. The refundable deposit is 1,000 THB for private rooms and 300 THB for dorms. I’ll definitely book again.

This is a good spot if you want somewhere quiet to chill. The rooftop is lovely, the staff are friendly and work hard, and the dorm was spotless. It looks really nice, and feels more like a hotel with shared rooms than a hostel. I kept extending my stay because I liked it so much. The MRT is a 15-minute walk away, which was fine for me. There are plenty of food options on the busy street.

I booked two nights in a private room at first, expecting to move closer to the main sights, but ended up extending for seven more days in the female dorm. It’s a lovely place that feels more like a hotel than a hostel. The street is lively, but the hostel stays quiet during the day and at night. There are lots of nearby restaurants and plenty of 7/11s on the same street. The Sutthisan MRT is convenient but still a 15-20 minute walk; I felt safe walking even at night. It’s on the blue line, which also goes to Chatuchak market, Terminal 21, Chinatown, Wat Pho, and the Grand Palace. Getting from the airport is easy, though it takes about an hour on the Airport Rail and MRT blue line. A Grab was about 540 baht in the evening. The female dorm gives each bed its own private area, light, outlet, small shelf, and key-locked drawer underneath, with a free towel included. The private room was gorgeous and definitely hotel-like. Showers were clean, with reliably hot water and good pressure at any time. The rooftop is open 24/7, though its indoor area only has AC from 1-5pm. There’s a treadmill and a few mats in that indoor space, a nice surprise for runners wanting to exercise in the afternoon heat. Simple breakfast is included, like waffles, cereal, juice, and toast. A laundromat is about 350 m away, with a quick cycle of 25 minutes washing and 25 minutes drying for 10 kg. There’s no proper kitchen, but you can use the shared fridge, microwave, kettle, and dishes. The dorm toilets and shower were generally clean, though they weren’t deep-cleaned during my stay, and there was soap on shower doors and hair in drains. When I politely mentioned the clogged drains, staff were happy to clear them. It isn’t a social hostel, but it’s a good place to reset from the city. I’d stay again.

The lobby is really pretty, with velvet, brass, and muted emerald colors. Some of the bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom fixtures aren’t practical, though. It looks better through a lens than in person, but still feels safe and sanitary.
