Lub d Bangkok

Slick flashpacker hostel

What we say:

Lub d fills what used to be an office building with a refreshing approach to housing backpackers in Bangkok. The bulk of the rooms are dorms, which, while clean, are nothing to get excited about. What is worth getting excited about are the top floor double rooms — the only offerings with private bathrooms. They're very smart, and, for a guesthouse, very spacious affairs Comfy beds, desk and, as with the entire place, WiFi enabled. Only strange bit is that the basins are not in the bathrooms (which are split, shower in one half, toilet the other, instead the basin is beside the bed — handy if you like to brush your teeth in bed. On the topic, bathrooms — both the shared and those in the double rooms are immaculate. Downstairs has a very large common area and bar — the best of all the Silom hostels.The front terrace was full of young smokers on laptops. Common area is well stocked with games and the accommodation is all swipe card protected. There's also an intimate mini theatre on the first floor — ideal for slumming it when the heat or the rains get you down. We found the staff to be just ok — perhaps we got them on an off day, but they were the least helpful we came across. The hostel is located half way down Decho Road between Silom and Surawong roads— Lub d has a second location near Siam Square — make sure you know which one you are booked at!

modern and good

A very good modern hostel. Very very clean, awesome hot showers, lockers (bring your own padlock), towels, free WiFi or internet-computers. They location can be something you like or not. You're far from Kha San, but close to Silom, Patpong and skytrain (BTS). Good atmosphere and easy to meet other travellers. Quite big dorms (8 persons), so not always quiet, although they keep the action out of the dorms.

Great place!

This is a great place to stay. The rooms may be nothing to get excited about the shared bathrooms are without a doubt the nicest and cleanest I've ever seen, and there is a great, very social vibe to the place. We booked a twin room online and got two nights for the price of one--so it was cheap too.
