The BOB Hostel in Bangkok

I stayed here for 3 nights during Songkran and had a really good experience overall. The staff were friendly, approachable, and always willing to help, which made the stay more comfortable.

The beds are quite spacious and surprisingly high—honestly feels like two people could fit. They’re also very comfortable. I liked that each bed comes with its own lockers, plus an extra small locker for valuables, so storage felt secure.

The hostel is clean and well-maintained. You do need to remove your shoes before going in, but that helps keep the place tidy. There’s no elevator, so be prepared to use the stairs. The shower and toilet areas are separate, which is convenient, and there’s also a space for doing makeup or skincare. They also offer laundry, which is a plus for longer stays.

One of my favorite parts was the rooftop area, it’s a nice spot to relax and unwind. For the price, this place is very affordable and definitely worth it.

The only downside is the distance to BTS Ekkamai, it takes around 20 to 30 minutes to walk. But on the bright side, it’s close to a mall and a 7-Eleven, so you still have easy access to essentials.

Also, just a small note: the hostel is located on the 2nd floor of a restaurant (you’ll notice a cow statue outside), so it might be a bit tricky to find at first.

Overall, a clean, budget-friendly hostel with great staff. I’d stay here again.

Had a great experience at The Bob Hostel! My flight was delayed, but when I called to say I’d be arriving after 12:15 AM, the lady on the phone was so kind and reassuring. When I finally made it, the gentleman at the desk was excellent and gave me a very detailed check-in. It’s a dormitory, so you can’t always avoid a snoring neighbor 😂, but the hospitality here is top-notch. Highly recommend for the service alone!

Location is number 1
Right in the downtown area of thonglo
Price is really good and affordable
My buddy and i we booked the bigger room upstairs on the 3rd floor, cause he had a friend with us for a few days while we were exploring bangkok! The 3rd floor is nice, it has the bigger rooms with private bath and toilet!
It is also super close to the roof where we are able to spark up a jay or some ciggies.
The people that stayed at the hostel were also super chill! The staff were also super nice and kind!
There is convince store 7 eleven! right across the street for all your late night cravings.
It’s also right beside don doni donki! Not sure is that right spelling but they got like everything you would need when you are travelling. I have been going there for food mainly and some cheeky snacks.

The best hostel ever ,the staff are kind

It is very close to the mall, convenient, not too many people to the point of being crowded, but it is difficult to find food in the morning.

There aren't many bathrooms, the water is light, but the price is cheap, acceptable. When I stayed in a shared room, at night it smelled very bad. I don't know if other guests smoked in the room or if it was just a smell that got in. I'd like the room to add an odor-free option or add an odor absorber. We didn't know there was a ********** next door, so we didn't know about this risk. It's good that we're not allergic, otherwise it would have been really bad. The smell is very strong.

The environment is not as new and clean as in the photos. You have to walk up the stairs. To be honest, the shower room is a bit dirty, there are black stains on the walls, and there is no hot water, but the hairdryer is powerful enough.
