Lub d Bangkok - Siam Square

Just this month, it was my first time to try dorm type accommodation and Lub d Bangkok was our chosen hostel since it is close to a BTS Station - National Stadium.

Locating the hostel is a breeze, just exit at Exit #1 of the BTS National Stadium station then before you go down the ramp you should see their logo.

Some of my insights for this place:

  • Very friendly staff. They even offered their shower rooms to us even if we are on early check-in, though no rooms available yet.
  • You may leave your luggage at their store room.
  • Very clean, organized and wide corridors, there are trash bins everywhere.
  • Haven't tried their theater/entertainment room but I saw a signage leading to it.
  • They have 8 desktop units free of use near the reception area.
  • Spacious dining area with tables and chairs both outside and inside the ground floor.
  • Design of the place is modern contemporary with sort of minimalist type.
  • Shower rooms and toilet are clean too. Though found some vandalism on the toilet. Free shower bath gel too and hand soap on their toilets. People also just leave their toiletries there. They also have laundry drying racks near the shower rooms.
  • Our room is located on the third floor and can't use the wifi there. We just stayed at the ground floor when using the wifi.
  • No elevators but stairs are not that steep and bearable.
  • There are electric outlets (2) for each bed. (as for the 4-bed dorm-type)
  • You may also hire a thick bath towel for THB50, good for your entire stay.
  • You will also be given extra linen upon check-in. I don't know exactly what this is for. 
  • No curfews as well. Their reception is open 24hrs.
  • You also have security card to access the place.
  • Sounds from the corridor can also be heard inside the rooms so when someone is drank and shouting outside, definitely you will be awakened.
Here are the pictures of the place:
