LITA Bangkok - Hostel

I stayed six days in a private room, and for the price it was a great stay. The people I met were respectful and nice, and there’s a well-kept shared kitchen on the main floor with free coffee and filtered water. A big coworking space is handy, too, though this isn’t a social hostel. I especially liked that the electricity stays on when you leave the room. The location is super convenient, less than five minutes from the MRT and close to two malls. It’s down a little alley, so nights are fairly quiet, though it gets noisy when the shops open. I felt safe walking there late at night. Room 401 was spacious and cute, with lots of hangers and a rack. I hadn’t requested a balcony room, but the balcony door didn’t close all the way, so music from the auto shop downstairs woke me in the mornings. I’m usually fine with street noise, so that was frustrating. Staff said they couldn’t do anything about it. The cleaning staff were sweet and helpful, and did a thorough job every other day. I appreciated the no-shoes policy, though there were still some moth-looking things and ants in my room. It wasn’t too bad. The bathroom was very small, which made showering and sitting on the toilet awkward for someone tall like me, but manageable. The sink was especially hard to use: it’s tiny, with a shelf right above it, so washing my face or brushing my teeth was almost impossible. I used the shower for that instead. There’s a paid laundry machine, but the dryer was awful and ate my money. Honestly, just take your things to a laundromat. Otherwise, a good stay. Without the balcony door issue, I’d have given it five stars. Thanks Lita Bangkok!
