HQ Hostel Bangkok

Industrial flashpacker hostel

What we say: 4 stars

HQ Hostel comes squarely out of the Bangkok condominium school of architecture. Lots of unfinished concrete walls, slabs of pastel hues here and there — all that is missing is an inane slogans along the lines of smooth live, style trend, sleep nice — which would be quite appropriate in the case of HQ Hostel. The offerings here are indeed smart and stylish — in an industrial kind of a way, and, as long as you've a bed well off the road, you'll probably sleep nice too. The rooms come in two main flavours — dorms — in ten, eight, six and four person varieties — and a handful of exceedingly smart double rooms on the top floor. As with the other hostels in this range, the double rooms are overpriced when compared to a hotel, but the rooms have very well sized open bathrooms and low slung beds. The bed in the room we were shown looked onto a large clouded window that separated it from the shower — we assume that's the substitute for TV. If anything it seems a bit silly to have such a large bathroom in such a modest-sized room, but we imagine it will strike a chord with some. The dorms are more standard fare — not the most crammed, but not the most spacious either. Bathrooms across the board are immaculate. Downstairs has a large minimalist finished common area and the staff were friendly, though we were surprised at how little English some spoke. Location is a stones throw from Silom. One note, there are a lot of stairs and a lot of low-hanging concrete blocks — watch your head and your step — going on the number of warning signs around, we imagine they're had some nasty falls — especially among guests who've had a night on the town.
