I stayed there 2 times in a double bed in a share room, I had no issue, everything was perfect, the staff is amazing, music is good, vibe, easy for solo travelers, the hostel also offers you free water bottle, tea and coffee. As you can read up there, I highly recommend :)

I really enjoyed the hostel, it was lovely and clean and had great facilities. It's quite a quiet hostel which is what I wanted, but I wouldn't recommend if people are looking for a party hostel.

The Common Hostel is so wonderful. Comfy rooms, huge common areas, amazing helpful staff, clean facilities, spacious beds and storage, INSANE breakfast, good location and a really nice area. Enough people to meet without being on top of each other. The perfect quiet but busy hostel and everything was such a great experience. Great value for money in Thailand (where hostels can be expensive) THANK YOU 💜💜

Provided breakfast buffet is decent. They tried to have a social event for Christmas, which I appreciated, but not very many people showed up. The patio area out front is a decent place to hang out, but is missing a pool table or table soccer. The bathrooms are clean and there was always an open sink toilet and shower. Room AC works well. Onsite motorbike rental was convenient and easy. There is a guitar available!

The breakfast was great, good coffee, fresh fruit, different Thai dishes every morning. Emphasis on recycling and composting was appreciated. Great music always playing, very hip, comfortable first floor/lobby/dining/hang area. Super comfy beds. Good showers. Helpful and friendly staff. No curfew nice too.

Could hear people's flip-flops and talking in the hallway for the room I was in (near the top of a stairway) so it's not ideal for a light sleeper.
Staff were very helpful and kind. I really liked the breakfast and the water refill station. Place was very clean.

Not the most sociable if you were travelling on your own, but as a couple we didn’t mind as much.
Rooms and bathrooms were constantly being cleaned throughout the day. The bed was very comfortable. Coffee and water was free of charge throughout the day. The location was great, walking distance from the main attractions and restaurants. Overall it was a very chill atmosphere.

“Hotel quality at hostel prices”
- • Leisure trip

The downside of the pods is that you don't event see if there are other people staying in your room and that if you close the curtain you can't really feel the air conditioning. There is only one washroom for women in the whole hostel so no matter where your room is you need to go up or down to the bathroom. They have a no shoes in the room policy which helps keep the room clean but it's a bit annoying. Indoor shoes should be allowed. Not sure if the location is good or not. There are some stores and other hotels but I didn't see many touristy things nearby but it didn't matter because I was picked up at the hotel for excursions. They also have red bus-taxi that take you everywhere for cheap.
The bed was the most comfortable bed I had in my whole Thailand stay. (Mattress was not as hard as it is common in Thailand). The design of the room make the beds super private and you feel like you have your own room in your "pod". In your pod you have two private lamps, a locker, hooks, and the curtain gives you lots of privacy. It was a hostel experience for me like no other. It also helped that I had a room for 12 people all for myself 😄. Free water, coffee, tea and breakfast. The cafe next door was beautiful The staff were very polite

In the dorm rooms there is an automatic air freshener that goes off fairly frequently and it's incredibly annoying. Even in my bunk, nowhere near it and with the curtain closed I felt like I could taste the air freshener. So unnecessary!
Everywhere was clean and fairly comfortable. Free cold bottled water and tea available at all times

n/a This comment goes to some (impolite) backpackers: one of the nights that I stayed there two guys were yelling at each other at 3 o’ clock in the morning while the whole hostel was asleep. Furthermore, there was so much hair in the girls showers, which was really disgusting. Do you do the same at home? Just wondering

I stayed in a dorm room, the place was very clean. The staff were very helpful. Bottled water was free for guests and a machine was provided for refills to encourage guests to reuse the bottles. Breakfast was freshly cooked and high quality. It was easy to find and very close to several of the main temples and Sunday market. There is also a great massage place right next-door
