I stayd at Smile Society for 9 nights during a stay in Bangkok. The locatios ieasy to find, being a short 5 minute walk from Sala Daeng BTS station, which is easy to reach from BKK.
I was staying in an 8-bed room and the bed was large for a dorm and very comfortable. The bedding was spotless and the room was tidied and cleaned on a daily basis. I requested a bottom bunk and this was provided. Even though the room wasn’t massive, there was plenty of storage room as each bed has a large locker. The shared bathroom is right next door and has two toilet stalls, two secluded urinals and two shower stalls, as well as a large sink. Shampoo and liquid soap are provided. The AC in the room is a godsend after a day sightseeing or upon arriving in Bangkok!
The hostel has a communal area with a dining table and chairs, as well as a comfy lounge area with settees. There are a couple of computers in case you didn’t bring a laptop/tablet/mobile and you can help yourself to hot drinks and biscuits whenever you like. There are soft drinks and beers in a mini-fridge to buy, but the price is very reasonable.
The hostel is mere metres away from a 7-eleven (several in fact), a McDonald’s, KFC, Burger King, etc as well as several places to buy street food, day or night. There are also places for massage and numerous cafes, bars and restaurants in the immediate vicinity.
Several bus lines pass within metres of the hostel, but I was never brave enough to try them out! You can grab a taxi, tuk
