Once Again Hostel

4.6(888 reviews)

Tucked into Soi Samran Rat in Bangkok's historic Phra Nakhon district, Once Again Hostel offers a contemporary take on hostel living, combining streamlined dormitory-style accommodation with a welcoming social atmosphere. Its central location places guests within reach of some of Bangkok's most iconic landmarks, temples, and street food scenes, making it a practical base for exploring the old city on foot. The hostel stands out for its attentive, genuinely helpful staff, who guests consistently describe as warm and proactive in assisting with directions, tours, and local activity recommendations. Daily activities organised by the hostel give solo travellers an easy way to connect with other guests. The property itself features comfortable beds, well-maintained bathrooms, and rooms kept at a reliable temperature — details that matter when returning from a long day of sightseeing. An airy on-site cafe and a terrace round out the communal spaces, giving guests a relaxed spot to unwind. Good to know: Once Again Hostel is a popular choice with solo travellers and those on extended stays in Bangkok, so booking ahead is advisable, particularly during the high season between November and February.

Visitor Reviews

I had a great stay at this hotel and would definitely come back. • Amazing staff The staff is incredibly welcoming, friendly, and helpful. They really create a great atmosphere. • Daily activities There are organized activities every day, which makes it super easy to meet people and enjoy the city. Special shout-out to Yanisa for organizing an awesome bike tour. It was a fun way to explore a different part of Bangkok and see a place I wouldn’t have discovered on my own. • Great common areas The hostel has several common areas, all comfortable and inviting. There’s always a nice space to relax, hang out, or socialize. • Comfortable dorms The dorms are well designed, with fairly large beds and good privacy. Each bed comes with a personal locker that you can lock with your own padlock. • Clean and spacious bathrooms The bathrooms are big, clean, and well maintained. There’s enough space for everyone, and cleaning is done regularly. • Included breakfast Breakfast is included and it’s a real plus. You’ll find basics like bread and jam, plus a different Thai-style option each day, which I really enjoyed. • Little extras that matter Free drinking water is available, and there are always egg sandwiches in the fridge. Perfect if you’re in a hurry and need a quick bite. • Great location The hostel is very well situated. Near all major attractions. • One small downside Some showers didn’t have hot water, likely due to an issue with the water heater. This would be the only thing to improve. Overall, I had a fantastic stay and would absolutely come back. This hostel was a perfect way to start my trip in Thailand.

Once Again is by far one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at. I spent a total of three weeks here and leaving was genuinely hard. The entire team is absolutely amazing, and during my time there I truly found a new family. The hostel has a super relaxed atmosphere and is perfect for socializing. They offer an included, daily changing breakfast all week long, such as rice porridge, Pad Thai, Pad See Ew or roti — plus free egg sandwiches in the fridge anytime. There are plenty of great spaces to hang out: the lobby, the rooftop, and a cozy living room with Netflix and more. On top of that, there’s a shared family dinner in the evenings and regular activities, like going bowling, visiting markets, or just heading out for random walks together. I stayed in the 12-bed superior dorm, and I would choose this room again without hesitation — comfortable, well designed, and perfect for a longer stay All in all — we’ll see each other once again! ❤️

I stayed there for three nights, and it was my first time staying in a hostel and I have to say, it was an amazing experience! The beds were very comfortable, the rooms were at the perfect temperature, and there were plenty of showers for everyone. The location of the hostel was perfect ! The kitchen had free sandwiches and cold filtered water, which was such a nice touch. In the morning, there was also a free breakfast, and it was absolutely amazing. The hostel itself is very cozy, with lots of common areas where you can play games and relax. There’s also a rooftop, which is perfect for meeting new people. For me, though, what truly made the stay perfect was the staff. They were some of the kindest, most interesting, and welcoming people I’ve ever met, and they always made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this hostel !!!!!

Book Shoulder Season

Compare OTAs and Direct Rates

Always check the hotel's own website after finding a rate on Agoda or Booking.com. Many Thai properties offer a best-rate guarantee or throw in perks like free breakfast when you book direct.

Pool Villa Doesn't Mean Expensive

Private pool villas in Krabi, Hua Hin, and Chiang Mai start around 2,500–4,000 THB/night — a fraction of Bali or Maldives prices. Search specifically for 'pool villa' to surface hidden gems.
