Overview

Two minutes. That's how far Roxx Social Hostel, Cafe & Bistro says it is from Khao San Road, which puts you about as close to the action as it gets without sleeping on the strip.

The hostel has its own café and bistro serving local dishes and drinks, plus a social bar area for evening drinks. Rooms are strictly non-smoking, Wi-Fi is free, and you can pick a dorm bunk or a private room. It draws backpackers and digital nomads in roughly equal measure.

Highlights

  • About 2 minutes' walk to Khao San Road
  • On-site café and bistro
  • Social bar area
  • Dorm bunks and private rooms
  • Non-smoking rooms and free Wi-Fi

Location

The hostel is right by Khao San Road in Banglamphu, the backpacker heart of the Old Town. The Grand Palace, Wat Pho and the river piers are a short walk or tuk-tuk ride away.

Expect noise and crowds outside in the evenings; that's the trade-off for being this close.

Good to know

  • Smoking isn't allowed in the rooms.
  • Light sleepers may want earplugs, given how close Khao San is.
