One of Bangkok's best hostels

What we say: 4.5 stars

There're hostels and there're hostels and then there's Refill Now — what is, without a doubt, one of the best-looking hostels we've seen in Southeast Asia — and we've seen a lot of hostels. Located well off the tourist-circuit in the back-blocks of Sukhumvit Soi 71, you couldn't ask for a more authentically Thai location — believe us you won't be jostling for footspace with other tourists in this part of town. A good night market less than two hundred meters from Refill Now starts to get going around 18:30 and offers lots of great Thai food, a beer stand, and lots of good people watching. The purpose-built four-storey building — think loads of white and polished metal in a contemporary minimalist style — boasts a bunch of immaculate dorms and private rooms (all with shared facilities) and when we say the facilities are immaculate we mean i m m a c u l a t e — if you're a cleanliness nut, look no further than here. The accommodation sits atop of an equally stylish cafe and restaurant which backs onto a small, but refreshing swimming pool. The top floor is reserved for the inhouse massage service. Dorms are quite spacious and very well-maintained and come in both mixed and female-only flavours. The location is ideal for those looking for a comfortable night's sleep not far from Bangkok's new airport — we'd say this is easily the best hostel near Bangkok's airport (Airport Rail Link station Ramkamheng is short taxi ride away). While Refill Now may seem like a world away from Bangkok's delights, it's only a walk to the khlong, from where you can catch a canal boat into the heart of the city, and it offers a free tuk tuk service to the BTS Skytrain which brings much of Bangkok within reach. Price wise, Refill Now will set you back more than the average Bangkok hostel, but this isn't your average Bangkok hostel. Free Wifi and computer terminals in the lobby. Friendly, helpful and accommodating staff. Very highly recommended.
