Stayed at the end of January 2012 in th eprivate room with bathroom. Not only is the location of this hotel very difficult to work with, but the bathroom and bedroom were not clean at all, and when I first turned on the air conditioner a cockroach fell out and scuttled under a cabinet. Yuck! There is no sound insulation... More

We've stayed in a lot of places over the last 6 months RTW and i've come to realize that it's the people that make a place stand out and that is true of this hostel. It is clean, comfortable, in a good enough location (bring earplugs!). It's the staff and atmosphere that really makes this histel stand out! The staff... More

We loved our stay at Niras. Being our first time in Bangkok, we found that we were greeted with smiles and plenty of helpful advice on hand. The hostel itself has a very cool vibe and feels a lot more personal than a lot of places we have stayed. The coffe shop downstairs where our tasty free breakfast was served... More

My brothers and I arrived at Niras, being this our first trip to Asia and Bangkok our first destination. Everything was fantastic, they helped us with our luggage and received us in the street, as soon we got off the cab. Check in was quick and easy, we even had a nice and fresh welcome drink. A girl showed us... More

Love the historic vibe of this place. Nice coffee shop and great coffee on the 1st floor. Very accommodating staff. I stayed there for several days with my friend before we headed off to Hong Kong. The location is great and close to all the attractions from temples and museums (e.g. Grand Palace, Wat Pho, National musuem, Golden mountain) to... More

This was a fantastic hostel - a Bangkok oasis! My wife and I sstayed here for three nights and loved the free wi-fi, friendly staff, location (if you don't mind cabs or walking a bit, it is in a quieter, calmer area with great street food at night), high level of cleanliness, and overall vibe. The AC worked great! The... More

This hostel is in a great location, pretty out of the way but close to the bus station and Wat Po/Grand Palace. It is not by the skytrain, so you may spend a little more on taxis. Very clean, comfortable and trendy. They have a great breakfast and the staff are more than willing to help you plan some parts... More

On this, my first trip to Bangkok I followed trip advisor reviews to the Niras Bankoc. There are many pluses: an interesting building, a very helpful and accomodating staff, an incredibly clean building - rooms and bathrooms - good coffee, and central to the attractions of "old" Bankoc. The challenge for the hostel is its identity. I stayed in a... More

We loved Niras Bankoc. The hostel itself is a lovely building, and the cafe downstairs has yummy breakfast for cheap. The staff we SO helpful with everything, and we had a room made up every day, plus towels. We stayed in a Standard Private room, with a great aircon that keeps the room nice and chilled. A smallish room, but... More
