PIER 808 Hostel

Pier808 was perfect for my holiday. The location was perfect for investigating Chinatown, Old City and the popular temples and palace of Bangkok. Being on the waterfront with the ferries, I was able to easily do 1 temple/palace a day and do other activities or come back to relax in the air-conditioner before heading out for more activities. The hostess is genuinely interested in you having a great stay and will give you heaps of tips like using Muvmi (rideshare tuktuk) and where you should visit. The wholesale markets that pop up on weekends are super interesting. Talad Noi is also really close by and is super quaint and trendy and should be investigated. Pier808 will allow you to see a locals Bangkok whilst having the benefit of being near the major tourist attractions. Everything in the hostel is brand new and well designed. As an example - Internet/wifi was 300Mbps in the dorms.

This is my favorite hostel in Bangkok. It was comfortable to live here. The beds are soft, the place is quiet. The rooms and showers are clean and in good condition. Guests are provided with clean towels. There is also a microwave, a kettle and a big desk at the reception area. They provide a laundry service, too. I like that the place is not overcrowded. Special thanks to the girl at the reception. It is nice when the hotel staff cares about you and tries to help if you have any questions.

The lady who works at the desk is so polite and friendly. She goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. She was really helpful giving suggestions for things to do and ways to get around the city as I was only visiting for a short while. The location was so handy for getting to places easily with the hop on and off tourist boat really good value for a day pass. There is also a 7/11 in very short walking distance which comes in handy. I had a private room and the view from the balcony was gorgeous. You should definitely head up to the rooftop for sunrise, the skyline at that time of the day is stunning from up there.

Very kind hosts. The rooftop was great, and we had a (slightly obstructed but partially visible!) view of the river from our room. Our stay was quiet and the room was clean with comfortable beds. They had a free bottled water refill station in the lobby and easy access to snacks to buy. There was an elevator to all floors.

The hostel is new (as of early 2024), clean and quiet, thankfully not a party place. It is a great base if you want to explore Bangkok, with easy access to the main sights, but in an authentic neighborhood in Chinatown. There’s a 7-Eleven around the corner, Yaowarat night market is closeby, and there’s also a hip street with great trendy cafés, restaurants and an art gallery just around the corner (Song Wat Road). The pier / boat stop is literally in front of the house, and the boat takes you to all the main stops on the river (e.g. Wat Arun or Iconsiam) for 30 THB. The rooftop has amazing views of the skyline and partially the river, it was very peaceful and nice to sit out there at night. I also have to mention that the Hosts are so incredibly nice! They went out of their way to give me good tips and a great experience in Chinatown, thank you so much once again for that, it made my stay all the more special!! :)
