10/10. Fantastic. Feels very homely. There is a kitchen, super clean bathrooms, and super clean dorms. Free drinking water, free icecream, there is shampoo and shower gel in the bathroom. Also free morning drinks like coffee. You can also use cutleries, the microwave oven, and the refrigerator. Feels like home. Also, my check-in time was at 14:00, but I checked in at 7.30 early in the morning. The young lady was asleep, she woke up in the middle of her sleep, and did all the necessities (If you are reading this I apologise for waking you up.). No doubt - 100% recommended. They will arrange your shoes regularly, they will also clean the dustbin every now and then.

Nothing.

The individual room is very comfortable, the shared dorms are good too. The cleanliness is impeccable and the girls on the staff are a model of helpfulness and friendliness. When I have the opportunity to return to Bangkok, I won't think of anywhere else to stay.

It's not exactly a problem, precisely because it's so good, the individual rooms are always occupied and I had to stay in shared rooms for a long time.

Loved this place!! Arrived without a booking ridiculously early in the morning ( as I had an unexpected layover in Bangkok due to an issue with Vietnamese Visa). They let me and my little boy stay on the common area until our room was ready. He place is soooo clean. Free ice cream wver day which is a lovely treat. The decor is beautiful. Room a little bit small but beautiful, functional and clean. Excellent value for money

Amazing Stay at LOL Elephant Hostel! I had an incredible experience staying at LOL Elephant Hostel during my trip to Bangkok. From the moment I arrived, the staff were welcoming, friendly, and always ready to help with anything I needed. The hostel has a fun and vibrant atmosphere, perfect for meeting other travelers while also having a peaceful space to relax. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with cozy beds and excellent air conditioning — a lifesaver in the Bangkok heat! The shared bathrooms were also well-maintained and tidy, with hot water and good water pressure. I especially appreciated the lockers available for securing my belongings. One of the best things about LOL Elephant Hostel is its fantastic location. It’s within walking distance of major attractions like the Grand Palace and Khao San Road, making it easy to explore the city. Despite being close to the action, the hostel is in a quieter street, so I could get a good night’s sleep. The communal areas were great for socializing, with a cool, laid-back vibe. I enjoyed hanging out in the lounge and the rooftop area after a day of sightseeing. The free Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, which was perfect for planning my next adventures. Overall, LOL Elephant Hostel is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a fun, affordable, and comfortable stay in Bangkok. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to other travelers!

The facilities were clean and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Walking distance to lots of street food, restaurants and massage places 😊 I loved just walking around at night and grabbing a bite then having a foot massage at the end of the day. The neighbourhood was quiet and I enjoyed having a peaceful morning at the balcony beside the riverside. They also have free ice cream (during happy hour)!

There weren't any train stations nearby so I would use the bus or the ferry to get around. The buses were a little hard to navigate around but the conductors were nice and tried to help me as best as they can. On the plus side, the ferry had lots of tourists stops.

Very clean. The single room is small but enough for one person.

The location is good if you wanna be close to the temples but too far from the metro (30 minutes). This makes it difficult if u wanna go for instance si Silom or China town. The hostel doesn’t really have a social atmosphere. There’s not a lot of hanging area and people are usually minding their own business, so not the best place to meet other travelers. The kitchen has only a microwave and warm water for coffee and tea. But don’t expect other cooking possibilities.

The staff are very kind, the free slippers and ice cream are very much appreciated! There's also a free drinking water fountain. I stayed in the 4 bed female room. The room is very small but there's a lot of privacy as the beds are well isolated, and very comfy! There's a small area in the common room where you can work if you need to. The hostel is right in the city centre, less than a 10 min walk to Khao San Road.

It would have been nice to have some more hangers on the wall in the room, there was nowhere to hang the wet towels or wet clothes if it had been raining.

The staff were exceptional, helpful and friendly. Easy to check in and out, the shared kitchen / lounge area is a really lovely space with free coffee and ice cream during 3-5pm. We loved sitting out on the balcony during the evening and watching the river go by, look out for the monitor lizards swimming along. We weren't sure how it would be as a family, but we had a family room for 4 and a twin room for 2 which was perfect. The WiFi is good on each level, you can store your bags before check in or after check out. Rooms are clean, beds adequately comfy and the water pressure in the showers good. Its an easy walk to the Chao Phraya River Express Boat, (use the orange flag boats as they are cheaper) and there is a bus stop right outside which is perfect (you can get a bus here that will take you all the way to the Van Terminal)

My only grumble is due to the room location is that our room didn't have a window, difficult to determine the time of night when waking up without looking at a watch/phone.
