The Blocks Hostel Sukhumvit 10

Big change here! Used to be a very good hostel, completely different now- beware. Almost nothing left of the common area, now obviously some kind of office, saying "NO OUTSIDERS ALLOWED". Room extremely cramped, no lock on the door(!) Ac doesn' t work. Sign saying construction work will start Oct 2024(!) Obviously not much has happened during seven months... Easy to find a better alternative, there are plenty!

Well, the location is good. Walking distance to terminal 21, time square and lots of convenient shop and massage center. Price is really cheap, compare with others. But............ the hostel is not safe to stay. Why ? 1. The hostel is still under renovation, but still open public to stay. The dust and the hazard for tourist. 2. If you have sensitive skin, please avoid 100% 3. The walkway is narrow, not as what you see in the photo publish. But. The staff is really friendly. Helpful and it was giving a plus point thru out my stay

Very close to a scam. Look at the date of the photos when you want to consider coming there. There is no one at the front desk, just a phone number to call. The common area on the ground floor has become a warehouse (look at the picture), the rooftop is a dump of broken mattresses, rubble and has been converted into an apartment of someone who lives there, so you can't go in. The rooms are bare, no windows, with cracks in the wall and dangling light sockets. It is located in the back of the other buildings. There is nothing except a very shady massage parlor and air conditioning motors

Room was nice, it has AC and the bunk beds/mattresses are good as well. During my stay it was quiet. The sink would drip from the bottom somethings but overall it’s perfectly fine. You even have bathrooms outside the rooms as well and elevator. I see a lot of critics here which are from idiots. If you want 5 star conditions don’t stay at a hostel. The location is also very good.

The hotel exceeded my expectations! Impeccable service, comfortable rooms, and a stunning view. The amenities were top-notch, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend for a relaxing stay!

Location is good but service is pretty poor, workers weren't always around or provided good service when required. Both rooms I was in were smelly, perhaps mold. AC's hardly worked and kept leaking water At least it was quiet in the hostel The bed was decent

Cheap, clean, great location, 5 min. walk to Terminal21 and Asok Metro station. Near to all the activities in Sukhumvit. Highly recommended!

It's true that some rooms don't look like the pictures, because those are the rooms with windows. I happened to stay at a room without windows, but they were still pretty fine. I read comments saying they were super narrow. Unless you're an elephant, they're really not. ‎‎‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ Each room has a toilet and each floor has an additional toilet on the corridor. The bunk buds are really sturdy and do not squeak. The rooms have 5 beds, but the several roommates I got during my 1-month stay were all pretty mindful of their noise levels and the beds were rarely occupied all at once anyway. It's a pretty quiet place overall. ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ There were some issues however. There was a bit of a moldy smell in the room, the AC dripped a fair amount and the pipes under the basin were leaky, so both the room and toilet often had puddles on the floor. For me these were bearable inconveniences, but we might have different levels of tolerance to suboptimal conditions. ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ At some point during my stay I was invited to move to a room with windows. I took a look inside and it seemed nicer indeed, but the curtains weren't blackout and I like it dark while sleeping. Besides, I feared that it would get too hot during the day from the sun. Probably a non-issue but I declined anyway. ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ The kitchen has a communal fridge w/ freezer, microwave, water boiler and cutlery. ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ The staff is usually absent from the reception and they don't speak much English, but that was fine for the most part, considering that they will quickly come down if you call the number at the reception, and that if you need help with something that they cannot understand, they will put you on the phone with this thai lady who speaks good English. ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ All in all, for 250 baht a night (approx. 7€) in this area, I think it's fair value. ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ However for people with disabilities, this is not the place to go to. The elevator is old-school and it only goes up and down if both manual doors are completely closed, which the other guests often forget to do, or do improperly. This means that more often than not, the elevator will not come. You'll be stuck with using the stairs, which do not have a handrail. There is also a small step when entering both the toilet and the shower. ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ Edit: I'm not sure why someone mentioned this in their comment, but yes there are ladyboys staying at the hostel. Whether they are sex workers or not is none of your business. Besides, from what I've been told, they have their own room because they're kind of long-term guests, so it shouldn't affect Your Prudishness anyway.
