Mind Day Hostel Khaosan

Bad, terrible. Here's why: 1. All rooms on every floor face the road, so the motorcycles and tuk-tuks are incredibly noisy at night. With 12 people in one room, someone is always coming and going, making it very loud. The bathroom door also slams shut with a really loud noise. 2. The tenants are low-class. People blast audio from their phones in their rooms. While women can stay in female-only rooms, men are only offered mixed-gender dorms. At night, women constantly chat with other men, making calls in the hallway and going in and out until 3 AM, unable to sleep. For the two days I stayed, the tenants in my room were awake all night and slept all day. 3. I booked for two nights. The first night was so noisy that I asked the owner if I could cancel the second night, but they refused, stating that cancellation would mean forfeiting the full amount. So I had no choice but to endure both nights. Getting even 3 hours of sleep a day was a luxury. I requested a refund several times, but the merchant instantly rejected it. I then contacted Trip.com, but they were completely unhelpful and clearly sided with the merchant. The platform and the merchant are in cahoots to rip off consumers! 4. I didn't check the reviews carefully when I booked, but later I found out this place has a history of theft, which made me feel like I had to keep my bag with me even when showering or sleeping. There was also a woman who kept doing suspicious things on the 4th floor near the entrance, like pulling her hair or sitting on the stairs talking on the phone, until after 3 AM. Very suspicious. Lesson learned: Looking back, I feel like such an ***** for trying to save money and booking two nights here. When booking hotels or guesthouses, always book for just one night and extend if needed. Before booking, always check the reviews, ignore the good ones, and only read the bad ones! If you're looking for an exciting experience and are a budget-conscious tenant, feel free to give this place a try.

Very appealing, not bad.

I've stayed in many hotels, big and small, across Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand, and I never leave reviews. But this one was the absolute worst! It was so noisy being right by the road that I couldn't sleep. The smell was awful, and the hygiene was terrible. I felt uneasy the whole time.
