Drinking water system is not environmentally friendly ( giving everyone two plastic bottles a day) . It could be easily solved by a couple of modern hot and cold water dispensers and make guests use their own bottles. This would also solve the issue of one small kettle for the whole hotel ( there are no kettles in the rooms).

Great value proposition given the pool and nice rooms. Very helpful staff. My first room smelled very strongly of some kind of cleaner, disinfectant or possibly even insecticide. Second room was very nice upper floor and newer with no smell. The pool guy dumped concentrated bleach into the pool while I was swimming which I thought was probably not a safe thing. There was some pool rowdiness one evening not obviously stopped by staff but a kid screaming in the middle of the night was acted on.

Nice hotel in a great location
The hotel was clean, well maintained and in a great location. We were made to feel very welcome by the staff. Would definitely recommend to others. The only downside was a slightly hard mattress, and the (optional) breakfast options which were not as good as some other options for breakfast in the area.

Chern hostel is very conveniently located, everything is within a walking distance. The room has everything what you need but nothing to write home about. The property is a bit tired and needs updating. We booked several rooms and rooms on the 3rd floor smelled of drains. Pool area was surprisingly excellent. It is a great value for money however, it is not a comfortable holiday hotel.

I had a very nice stay at Chern hostel, it was quiet and clean and staff were very helpful! If you are looking for a party hostel to meet people I would say choose somewhere else but if you want a quiet one to just chill at then it's great! It had great air con and shower gel and shampoo! Bring a spare card with you so that you can keep the air con going when you leave as it requires a room card! Staff helped me to organise a taxi for my flight as it was very early morning and assisted me with everything I needed! Brilliant hostel

The private rooms are comfortable and with A/C. The location of the hostel is very good. Walk distance to the major attractions and street food just at the corner. The taxi from the airport cost around 400 Bath (12 dollars with tolls). If you don't want something fancy just stay here, is economic and very ok for the price.

Great location, friendly staff
My room was on the 4th floor. Initially, I was checked into a room with a safe that was not bolted down, so I could literally pick up the unattached safe. I requested a change, and I was moved to a room with a safe that was bolted down. The AC was great. They were great about providing a map of Bangkok, but the hotel is not associated with any tour operators. On the bright side, their focus is on the hotel, but it would be nice if they could at least recommend a guide or tour operator. The hotel is tucked away in a quiet alley. The quiet is nice is a big, noisy city, but it also makes it somewhat difficult to find. One of my Grab motorbike driver's Google Maps wasn't working, and we literally followed a tuk-tuk to the Chern Hotel because it is not easy to find. With Google Maps, none of my other taxi or Grab drivers had any problem. The AC worked well in the room, and it had hot water in the shower. Two big pluses. Just take the Airport Rail Link to Prayatai station (dirt cheap), and it was only 156 THB ($4.72 USD) for a Grab taxi from Prayatai station to Chern Hotel. If you don't have a big suitcase, save money by taking a Grab motorbike from the train station to the hotel.

Very friendly staff who were happy to help and booked an airport taxi. Room was excellent - the hostel name is misleading as for a private double it was as good as any hotel - very big room/bed/bathroom, clean, air conditioned and useful safe.

despite the neighborhood - some old buildings- the hostel is quite good and very close to all the touristic locations. They clean every day and change the towels as well. You will find a 7/11 market 2 min form hostel . Good AC.

Nice Location, not the cleanest.
The Hostel staff was very helpful. There is security outside 24/7 as an added bonus. The Room was decent- our outside sheet was stained when we arrived and housekeeping was not completed until the following evening. We did not have warm water when we showered and the drain was constantly clogged. Wifi was ok- you have to continuously sign in and it bumps you off after a while. It's less than a 10 minute Walk to Ko San which was pretty convenient and for the price you're paying, you could do much worse.

Not staying there again.
Everything in the room is pretty new, clean and works but the toilet has a sewer smell, seems to be a problem with the pipes, not a cleaning problem. Breakfast is alright but nothing special.
