A best place to stay for a females solo traveler. Good location, safe security, friendly staffs, and clean rooms. Especially if you still have feeble hours before your departure time and you want to go for a shopping first,you can store your luggages at the check-in desk even after you check out. 9/10 for the boxpackers hostel. keep up your good work.

Boxpackers. Solo female traveler in Feb

Very friendly staff. Great location. Rooms and showers are clean however sheets and towels have some stains (clearly has been washed just not replaced). Boxes provide more privacy than the avg hostel.

Great hostel in a good non-touristy part of the city. The bed, room, and bathroom were all clean and comfortable. My only issue was that the AC want working too well and it was extremely humid in the room, so humid that my mattress felt moist when I first got there. It felt cooler and less humid in the common areas without AC.

There are better box-style hostels in Bangkok.

The description of the hostel is not very accurate. The public space is more limited than stated, and not used very well so is therefore empty and you can't be very social. Premises is split over 2 sites across a small (quiet) road. You have to leave your rucksack in a locker on the ground floor as the stairs are too tight to carry it to your room. The A/C is not on all the time, only at allocated times. a large deposit (B500) is required for the key, which you get back just as you are leaving (and if you're leaving the country it's no use to get that cash then).
The boxes are very spacious, but there are much better hostels in Bangkok.

Nice Hostel, Nice breakfast

Hostel is clean, however you have to request a night before for your bed linens to be changed. Breakfast is really nice although limited choices. Room is safe with security locks in every room and also entrance of hostel. Toilet is clean however our toilet's shower do not have hot water so it's a point to take note.

Great hostel for >>bagpacker ♡

Have my great solo trip in bangkok with staying in \"Boxpackers\". Staff is 24 hrs services, walking distance to central & polite. Walking distance to shopping mall, near to night market & train station. Breakfast is good, room is clean, the only thing to comment is shower heater hard to control.
Feel happy to know new friends in boxpackers. It make my trip become more interesting & have lots fun with them.
Definitely will come again for next bangkok trip. Surely i will recommend it & share my experience with my friends.

nice comfortable backpackers hotel.

The personal space though small is pretty personal and private, to me at least. I only spent a night there, I was quite conscious about myself snoring and disturbing others, so I didn't sleep very well, but that might be due to me not getting used to the place yet as well. I noticed a female solo traveller as well who seems pretty comfortable to be staying in a mixed dorm.

breakfast is your normal fare, nothing to shout about. anyway, pratunam market is just a stone throw away.

The location is definitely the plus to stay here. 10-15 mins from airport rail, bts, platinum malls etc..

Podtastic . . .give it a stay, plod along to a pod

I flew to Bangkok planning to head straight out South, I came a across this chic hostel, booked a night, but stayed to, upgraded the second night from a pod to a double room, I'm greedy like that!
The pods are a brilliant idea, I've now stayed in many places in Bangkok and to be honest this has been the best of a good lot by far.
I'm planning to return and stay when I head north again to go to Chang Mai, I'm sure I'll be staying again on my return to Bangkok for the journey home! Love Bangkok, love Thailand and love the Pod hostel!!!

Perfect for backpackers

I spent my last five nights in Bangkok at Boxpackers in January 2015

The staff here are lovely and very helpful.
The facilities are v good for backpacker style accommodation.

My lil box was lovely, I had a window view, my locker was handy and under my bed, the mattress and pillow were sooo comfy, close to showers & toilets, it was quiet and there was aircon and a fan.

Yay for Free breakfast, I was a bit over eating a cooked breakfast by then so loaded up on coffee and had toast or fruit (with a bit of yoghurt I bought from the 7 eleven).

Great location to 7 eleven (2mins walk), BTS (8mins), klong/canal ferry (15mins), night street markets & food was put back on my bed instead of having to collect it.(5mins), dentists & optometrists (5mins), about four malls (12mins).

Boxpackers even did my laundry for 100baht - cheapest in Thailand, although admittedly they didn't fold it but it
was returned to my 'box' when done.

Enjoyed finishing a long day tripping around with a cold Chang and free wifi at 'Period' café which is connected to Boxpackers, perfect for sending emails home and writing travel reviews. The wifi is fast and works everywhere in the Boxpackers and Period buildings.

You have to pay 500baht deposit for the key, which is OK coz that was my taxi money to the airport!!

Great location for shopping!

Stayed here for a night, and it was a pleasant stay. Staff will try to allow for early check in if possible, but that is subject to availability (as any traveller should know). There are several lounge areas to hang out at, and the beds and bathroom facilities are pretty decent. They have a locker just by your beds for storage of backpacks, and maybe small to medium (?) sized luggages. Breakfast was normal for a hostel: they offer a choice of 4 set menus with a mix of eggs, sausages and rice dishes, on top of a small toast, cereal, salad, juice, milk, coffee buffet.

Location wise the area is pretty accessible. I walk to and fro the BTS all the time, but I travel light. Shouldn't cost that much for a tuk tuk/taxi if you have luggage though. The hostel provides easy access to the Pratanum area for shopping (if that's your thing). Arunda massage just down the street gives a decent massage if you're tired after all that shopping.

Excellent! Shower heater not stable.

Excellent! But a pity the shower heater comes on and off. Rooms are nicely done up, just that when new backpackers come in, the sounds from the lockers and their actions are very loud and it disrupts my sleep. But overall, such cozy hostel!

Awesome place

The hostel location is the biggest selling point. It's walkable to the skyrail link for the airport, walkable to the major malls (pantip plaza, diamond fashion, palladium...).

Super clean rooms and showers. Each \"box\" has a draw curtain, plug point, night light and a reading light. This place had the most privacy of all the hostels I've stayed in.

Only thing that could've been better was the AC / air vents. There are no individual fans, and the AC is set to about 27-28C. I get hot when sleeping, so was a lil uncomfortable at times.

Great for travellers on a budget

Boxpackers is situated near many shopping malls that are easily accessible by walking. The nearest BTS is less than a 10-minute walk. Hotel staff are friendly and very willing to help. Get to make new friends living in the same dormitory, or at the cafe during breakfast.

Good Choise, Good Value

I wanted a budget accommodation with a bit of privacy in a modern spot. I was lucky to have a pad with a window which made all the difference. The room itself also had windows, something to request if you get depressed otherwise. The boxes are as illustrated and arriving is pretty painless. They will ask for a $500 B deposit for the key that opens multiple electronic doorways, there is a skinny lift for luggage but mine didn't fit, so it was 3 flights up stairs. When breakfast is included there is a choice of 4 dishes plus a buffet of white toast, juice, tea and coffee. The installations are pretty modern and inviting, though they won't turn the AC till 6pm and some of the common areas will be hot as hell! Overall a good and comfy experience in the Siam Square area, the sky train is only a short walk from the location which is a blessing. Avoiding the hardcore Bangkok traffic is a must, specially any route near the railway crossing. DO NOT take the bus or a taxi to the Airport or Train station, you must likely won't make it!

저렴하며, 깨끗하고 편안한 호스텔! 굿

Siam 중심가에서 멀지 않은 거리이기때문에 다른 곳으로의 접근성이 좋다. 박스형에 커튼이 있어서 프라이버시를 지켜주며, 아주 깨끗하다. 샤워실 , 화장실도 깨끗함. 조식은 기본 토스트와 음료 야채셀러드가있고, 에그와 라이스등의 종류 중에서 주문을 할 수 있다. 조식도 만족스러움. 직원들의 서비스는 친절하지만, 사무적이다.

這是個值得住的背包客棧。

我第一次泰國自助旅行。住了這家背包客棧，雖然，是在一條小巷內，但是他臨近百貨商圈，到便利商店也很近，在旅社的同一條路上，前頭是按摩街。
搭乘交通工具也非常方便。
服務生很有禮貌，我詢問問題，也都給很明確的答覆。
是一家，我下次去泰國，還會選擇住那的旅社。

모든것이 좋아요

저는 도미토리 룸에 묵었는데요 각 침대마다 사물함이 있고 관리도 잘 되어 만족스러웠습니다. 그리고 직원의 서비스가 굉장히 만족스러웠습니다. 제가 핸드폰을 잃어버렸을때 많은 도움을 주었고 위치나 관광지 등 호텔서비스와는 관계없는 질문에도 잘 대답해 주었습니다. 자는동안 에어컨을 빵빵하게 틀어주어 편안한 숙면을 취할 수 있었습니다. 그리고 무엇보다 마음에 들었던 서비스는 아침식사 서비스였습니다. 아침식사시에 3가지 메뉴중 하나를 선택하면 즉시 주방에서 요리를 내옵니다. 그외 시리얼이나 토스트, 커피 등은 무한정 가져다 먹을 수 있습니다. 가격대비 정말 만족했던 3일 이었습니다.
