Yen Inn

Such a great hostel experience, especially having a dedicated women's dorm! It made this trip truly memorable. My only suggestion would be for the women's restroom facilities to have separate toilets. I stayed for several days, and every night, a group of guys would be drinking and, let's just say, have very poor aim, splashing urine all over the toilets in every stall. Plus, there was always overflowing poop – it was absolutely disgusting. I'd rather hold it until I couldn't anymore or wait until morning after the staff had cleaned, which is when I finally dared to use the restroom... truly a pity for them. Also, I'd rather eat snacks in my room than have to see that group of idle guys constantly sitting in the common area drinking or coming and going, staring around.

This room type is a twin room with a bunk bed. The first time, I accidentally booked a mixed-gender dorm. However, the guy in my room went to bed before 10 PM and was quiet all night, so he didn't disturb me at all, and I slept really well. The next day, I switched to a female-only twin room. My roommate came in at 2 AM and woke me up as soon as she opened the door. What's worse, my room was right on the main hallway, next to the shared bathroom. That night, the entire hostel, even the dorm beds, was fully booked. There were so many guests walking around late at night, opening and closing doors loudly. Then, at 6 AM, someone started knocking on individual room doors to wake people up. I couldn't sleep a wink all night. To make matters worse, after that group stayed, all the public areas, including the trash cans in the bathrooms and toilets, were overflowing with trash, and the toilets and sinks were left very dirty. If the hostel is fully booked again, I'll never dare to stay here.

The room and bathroom were quite clean, and they provided snacks and drinking water. However, the toilet and shower are shared by both men and women, so if that's an issue for you, you might want to reconsider. The front desk staff's quality was very poor, and their attitude was terrible. Maybe it was just one person, but either way, I won't be staying here again.

Since I only stayed for about 4 hours, I didn't really get to experience any facility issues. At least the bathroom was decent and quite clean. The power outlet in the dorm room was in a bit of an odd spot though; it was a hassle to charge my phone while sleeping because it kept falling out.

The location was surprisingly convenient, being close to the BTS station and shopping areas. The surrounding neighborhood felt very safe. The room itself was a bit compact, but the bathroom was remarkably spacious. Overall, it was good, new, and clean.
