Hostel Urby, Bangkok, Thailand

Location is right by the river. If you're not in a hurry and like a chilled out environment, this is a great hostel. Very clean, modern amenities. Nice views along the river. However, there's no staff on the premises.. I was accidentally locked out of my room in the middle of the night, and couldn't get back in the room. Luckily someone from another room let me sleep in her room which had a spare bunk bed. Staff at the reception, while friendly are also not particularly knowledgeable about local transportation, if it means going off the beaten path. Cereals and milk provided in the morning, but the same bottle of milk ran out by the 2nd day and the staff did not top it up. It's a relaxed environment, but the staff aren't particularly on the ball about service.

Great hotel away from all the chaos of China Town, but near enough. Very close to the pier where you can take a boat around Bangkok. Facilities are very good and the hotel is very clean. Also, there is an amazing view of the river from the restaurant here.

I genuinely could not praise this hostel high enough. We booked to stay here for two nights, but we wish we had stayed in Bangkok longer, just so we could stay here! The staff are so helpful, the facilities are perfect- there’s everything you’ll need and the overall cleanliness is nothing like we have seen in a hostel before. This is by far the best place we have stayed and would highly recommend to anyone!
