A Review of NapPak Hostel: The Perfect Place to Stay at Khao San Road

Months before my trip to Bangkok, I have been really busy finding the right accommodation. 

The reception area! Welcome to NapPark Hostel!

Here are the criteria I used in choosing what hotel/hostel I will be staying at.

Affordability. Travelling alone, affordability comes first in my list. The hostel needs to be budget friendly and should cater to the needs of a solo traveler.

Accessibility. My ideal location for a place to stay is it should be accessible from the major tourist sites, shopping districts and major transportation hub in the city.

Hospitality. When looking for a place to stay, I really look at how the crews and personnel accommodate their guest. Especially when you’re travelling solo and you don’t have anybody to depend on (talk to) but the staff at the hostel you’re staying at.

Other Factors. Since I am not a choosy person, other factors I consider (though not that important) are cleanliness, facilities, services offered (laundry and charter services) and ambience/vibe.

Based from the set criteria above, NapPark Hostel is the undeniable choice!

NapPark Hostel is awarded as the best hostel in Asia by the Hostelworld Awards. It was clean, modern, great for backpackers and solo travelers, it is near khao san road, grand palace, and other tourist sites!

It did not fall short of my expectations based from the reviews I read at the Internet.The staffs were friendly and very helpful. They immediately tend to your needs and at times go out of their normal way just to help you!

The facilities are great, WIFI connection is fast and in case you forgot to bring your laptops and smartphone, there are desktop computers available for 24 hours at the reception area. 

The computers with reliable and fast internet connection!

The pillows, beds and sheets are clean (although I heard one guest complaining about bed bugs but personally, I did not have the same experience because the bed sheets are regularly washed and changed by the staffs). The air conditioner is perfectly working (air-con room is a must when you come to Thailand because of the hot weather) and the comfort rooms are clean (even though it is shared/common).

The common area where you can wait for the check-in time!
