Tatamka Hostel

ครั้งแรกกับการพักแบบโฮสเทลในชีวิตและการเดินทางคนเดียวครั้งแรก เลยไม่รู้ว่าต้องจองห้องแบบไหน ไม่ได้เจาะจงว่าเอาห้องแบบผู้หญิงล้วน ทำให้กังวลนอนไม่หลับเกือบทั้งคืนเมื่อได้ห้องพักรวม แต่โชคดีที่เจอเพื่อนร่วมห้องดี ความสะอาดห้องพักดีตามสมควรแต่ห้องน้ำใช้รวมกันอาจจะยากในการรักษาความสะอาดให้ดี ทำเลดีมากสามารถไปยังจุดท่องเที่ยวต่างๆได้สะดวก พนักงานให้ความช่วยเหลือดี

服務員很好

熱水不夠熱，地點好，便宜無所謂了

Excelent facilities for a solo traveler. Dorms are pretty, clean, modern and spacious. The bed also comes with a little nightstand and a reading light! Good security system and handy 24h service. Easy check in and out. Shared showers are private with locks and a loundry soap is only 1€.

Staff are super friendly and the communal areas are great! The dorm rooms are really poor quality and the beds are extremely creaky - so we were being woken every time someone turned around or arrived during the night!

The stay on the basement level was generally a good one in an 8-bed dorm room spacious enough to move around (with also a "long table" in the middle), and yes the bathroom (ensuite) came with like a nice-sized area of sinks & mirrors; and the "common area" on the main floor is also a pretty nice hangout area (although just in the dining room of that area briefly during my 2-night stay). And as for the convenience of food & some other essentials, there's a "small-but-well-stocked" grocery shop just across the street, then to the right and just about a 5-minute walk is a Vietnamese restaurant (for my "main meals" with a "nice variety" of delicious items to choose from), then about another 5-minute walk after that restaurant is a McDonald's (for breakfasts during my stay). And also not having to walk too far from this hostel by going the same way to the McDonald's as just mentioned followed by a right turn and for about another 15-minute walk is a straight way to the Castle Square & the Royal Castle (a "great interior" of both a palace & a museum for a worthwhile visit).

Too much politics... I understand that we need to help refugees. However the manager turned this hostel from hospitality business into political propaganda means. Some receptionists wear badges with one country flag, etc.. The only thing the hostel did not yet is painting its building into the one country flag colors. People come here from multiple countries, they might have different political views.. That's why the business should stay out of politics. When I asked the reception lady why does she wear a badge with a flag of one country, she told me a lot of bad things about my motherland. Interestingly, she has never been in Ukraine or in Russia personally. I am ok that business should help war refugees. However I am not ok with staff making political propaganda. People come here from different countries and the business should stay out of politics. I spoke with guests from Ukraine in the hostel and they were much more polite than the receptionist . Though I need to admit: most other administrators at the reception overall were nice and friendly.

Nice budget hostel close to public transport and stores

The general cleanliness was very good. And their availability was constant. But it stops there. One of the shower stalls ( one out of the two on our floor) wouldn’t drain. Quite disgusting. No internet for nearly every hour we were there (more than 24). In their advertising they should have made it clearer that the rooms were by default coed. Even though they were advertised as economical, the prices were very high due to an Ed Sheeren concert but it was not worth the $52/person per night. It was very hot also; they needed to invest in ceiling fans or other types of cooling mechanisms.
