I've heard that in Bangkok you get what you've pay for

I was traveling on a budget and this was the more 'expensive' part of my stay, however I have stayed in other hostels in BKK that I enjoyed more and thought were better value for money.

My stay wasn't bad though - It is a really creative place, although I didn't interact with too many of the creatives - and the 20% off prices at the coffee shop downstairs when you are staying is great!
