I took a bus from Don Mueang Airport to Khao San Road to get to the hostel. The fare was 50 baht. I guess most people take a taxi or train, though. There were only three passengers, including myself. The bus stops east of Wat Bowonniwet.
From there, it was an easy 3-minute walk to the hostel, which was located on the 'north side'. It's highly recommended for exploring places like the National Museum, National Gallery, Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaeo, and Wat Pho.
I'd stayed in various dorms in my twenties, but I was surprised by how clean this dormitory was after 30 years. A 300 baht deposit is required upon check-in. You'll also receive a room card key and a key for the security box. I stayed for two nights, and since it was low season, I had a four-person room all to myself on the first night. On the second night, I shared with a British man. Free Wi-Fi, towel changes, and mineral water service were also excellent.
There's a small pool too, which was great for relaxing after a morning of activities and returning after lunch, allowing my tired body to rest. The toilets and showers were separated for men and women and were kept very clean. There's also a convenient common area with sofas in front of the reception.
I was also satisfied with the kind service, such as arranging a taxi to the airport via an app even after an early morning check-out. All this for about 1500 yen per night.
If I have the chance to go to Bangkok again, I'd definitely like to stay here.
