    The location of the hostel was great, with easy access to popular attractions and a lively atmosphere. the staff was friendly and helpful, providing useful information and recommendations. the cleanliness of the hostel, including the bunk beds and shared bathrooms, was impressive.

    the lack of larger lockers for storing baggage was a disappointment. the fact that the showers on the 4th floor were not separate from the toilets was inconvenient.

    During my stay at The Lol Elephant Hostel, I was impressed by the excellent location, just a short 5-minute walk from Khao San Road and the ferry pier. The friendly staff made me feel very welcome and were always available to answer any questions I had about the local area. The room was mostly clean with new interior, and I appreciated the free water, ice cream, and coffee that were provided. The WiFi was fast and stable, and the AC kept the room cool. I also enjoyed the warm water in the shower. One specific situation that stood out to me was when I arrived earlier than expected, and the staff allowed me to check in ahead of time, which was a great convenience. Additionally, there was a great breakfast restaurant just a short walk away on the main street.

    I got great value for my money at the Lol Elephant Hostel in Bangkok. The room was incredibly clean and comfortable, with cozy bed sheets and fluffy pillows that made it hard to leave in the morning. The location was convenient for exploring nearby sights, and the staff from Myanmar were friendly and accommodating, even offering to store our luggage for free when we went to Phuket.

    As for the breakfast selection, it could have been better if there were more options to choose from.

    My stay at the Lol Elephant was absolutely superb. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction. The common areas were cozy and inviting, perfect for meeting fellow travelers. The location was ideal, with plenty of food options nearby. The beds were comfortable, and I loved having my own small locker, fan, and plug socket. The check-in and check-out process was quick and easy. The water fountain in the kitchen was a lifesaver for staying hydrated. I had an amazing experience and would definitely recommend this hostel to others.

    I recently stayed at the charming Lol Elephant Hostel in Bangkok for 3 nights. The pillows were incredibly comfy and the view of the canal was lovely. The staff were friendly and the decor and style of the hostel were really nice. I also loved the relaxing atmosphere and the beautifully decorated communal spaces. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of space underneath for my bags. The cleanliness was impeccable, including the bathrooms. I had a great stay and highly recommend the hotel.

    Couldn't recommend this hotel more.

    Clean and comfortable with friendly staff. Good location near main sights. Close to shops, cafes, and eateries. Spotless interior and maximum privacy in pod-like beds. Comfy beds, personal fan, and locker. Nice common area overlooking river. Clean facilities, ample luggage space, and small locker for valuables. Accommodating and helpful staff. Homey lounge and kitchen areas for relaxation.
