Scala Hostel in Bangkok

This is a great hotel in Chinatown. The staff was very friendly and was always available. I booked a single room with private bathroom. I had a ceiling leak during a thunderstorm, I messaged, and they came to offer a different room within 20 minutes. It is a budget hotel, but all the basic amenities are provided, aside from bar soap. Each room has an electric kettle. There is coin laundry on site, the dryer was broken, so I had to walk a few minutes to a 24-hour place.

Breakfast is toast and choice of instant drinks. WiFi is pretty stable. You can’t beat the location if you want a lively stay. Chinatown really wakes up around 5:00 pm and stays out until 2:00 am. That being said, I never heard the traffic or people from within my room. It was very quiet, I was on the back side of the hotel.

If you have a hard time walking or being very mobile, don’t stay here. There are only stairs, no lifts.

We have standard double room. Everything was clean and tidy. Room was small but I think for couple was more than enough. Staff was really nice and helpful. At night was quiet. Close to MRT. Definitely I can recommend this place.

Short walk from MRT. Lobby area has sewage smell. Toilet is clean but also sewage smell. Good hot water for shower. Bed is clean and firm. Good design with lamp switch and socket for every bed. Bring your own lock, there is a latch and the storage underneath your bed. Breakfast is basic. Toast and cereal. Need a deposit of 200 baht for access card. No lift, steep staircase, not suitable for huge luggage. One night 450 baht, booked via Facebook messenger, no advance payment.
