If there’s one word to describe Hostel Thailand, it’s “narrow.”

The second word would be “tall” (the building), the third would be “clean,” and the fourth would be “friendly.”

Four bed dormNarrow
Upon arriving at the Hostel’s doorstep, you are faced with a glass door and a small landing leading up to a staircase going up to the 2nd floor where the “lobby” is. I doubt if the width of each floor would go over 4 meters.

In each floor, there are 3 rooms: 6-bed dorm, 4-bed dorm, and single/private room. There were only bunk beds in all the rooms, leaving you with just enough space to turn around.

On each floor, there are two toilet and baths, which are really just cubicles. Outside the cubicles, there’s a sink, a mirror and a clothes rack to hang and dry your wet towels and laundry

Tall
Since the space was narrow, it’s only logical that the building is tall. So on the first floor, we have the small landing and stairs and the lobby, office and computer terminals on the second floor. The rooms are on the 3rd, 4th and 5th floors.

Going up four flights of stairs may not be the greatest thing to encounter after a long day of travelling, but it pushes you closer to sleep. Which is good, because their mattress and pillows aren’t great sleep-inducers.

Nina Fuentes | Lovin' ManilaNina, going through quarterlife crisis, decided to stop talking about traveling and actually start traveling. Starting with a solo weekend trip to Cebu to a backpacking trip in Thailand and Singapore, she finally made it out of Asia and into Australia. After spending close to six months down under, she's happily settled in Manila (for now), intent to explore the best things the Philippines has to offer.
