Chern Hostel

For the price, it’s good value. The pool was nice and clean, and so were the rooms. We had a comfortable bed and good sound insulation, so we couldn’t hear anything from the other rooms. The location is ideal, with lots of restaurants around and the main attractions nearby.

We liked this cozy place, especially the pool area and courtyard full of trees and other greenery. Public transport is close, and local taxis or tuk-tuks can pick you up and drop you off at the front gate. We didn’t have breakfast or try the gym, though I’m sure they’re good. My only personal downside was a slight musty smell in the room. In the tropics, with the humidity constantly high, I’m not sure much can be done about it. Still, a pleasant stay.

I’d recommend staying here. Despite the name, it felt more like an affordable hotel to me, though not a five-star one. The location is great, the design is nice, the service is helpful, and the place is clean. The stylish pool between the blocks is a nice extra for cooling off and relaxing. You can get a pretty cheap breakfast in the lobby in the morning if you need it. Reception is open 24 hours.

For the price, it’s very good value. The location is tucked away in an alley, so traffic noise is muted, and it’s less than 2 km from most attractions near the Royal palace. Rooms are clean and decent, with simple furniture, a comfortable bed, and a safe locker. Some face the garden, some the pool, and the unlucky ones look toward neighboring buildings, so you can ask for the view you prefer. They’ll also keep your luggage if you’re coming back after a short trip elsewhere.
