Hash Capsule Hostel Silom Soi 3
This hostel is a budget-friendly option primarily for those prioritising location in Bangkok, but be prepared for potential issues with cleanliness and check-in.
Hash Capsule Hostel Silom Soi 3 offers enclosed sleeping pods in a central Bangkok location. Guests generally find the location excellent and convenient for exploring the city. While some appreciate the 'nice sleeping pods', the overall experience is marred by significant issues. Multiple reviews highlight problems with cleanliness, particularly in the shared toilet areas, which are described as not being cleaned often and having unpleasant smells, exacerbated by air conditioning issues. The hostel also lacks common social areas like a shared kitchen or living room, though it does feature a rooftop terrace. The self check-in process appears inconsistent, with one guest unable to access the property upon arrival.
