Location
Revolution Hostel in Bangkok is located perfectly off Khao San Road with a small alleyway taking you to the start. It is remarkably quiet considering only a stone’s throw away is the hustle and bustle of Khao San but it’s no means silent. Revolution always seem to locate near a 7/11 which is perfect for their customers to grab snacks from.
The side street offers a few food spots but is otherwise quiet with limited activity during the day.
Revolution also offer further stays in these locations : Chiang Mai, Pai, Kanchanaburi (new site) and Koh Tao, with more coming soon! We will be sharing further reviews on these other hostels.
Private Room Experience
At Revolution Bangkok, we stayed in a private room which had all the required amenities for our stay. The room was big enough for us 2, and also offered a separate toilet and shower room which was a nice touch. The shower room was rather large which can definitely be a problem when staying in Hostels in a city.
The room also had great storage space for all your gear. But one of the best features was a mosquito covering around the windows to allow for natural air in at night but none of the bugs. Mosquito bites can be an issue in South East Asia so these nets really helped us sleep easy at night!
Breakfast wasn’t included in our stay but they offer both westernised and local options at a budget-friendly cost! Perfect for any traveller.
Other Rooms
For dorms, Revolution offer 16, 10, 8, 6 & 4 bed dorms. So if you don’t mind the larger rooms, or want a smaller dorm, they have options for you. They also offer female only dorms if you would rather. All of these rooms come equipped with your own bed, a towel, access key, shared bathroom access, a bed light and personal charging port which is essential for all travellers. Find out more here.
Social Areas
The social areas are great! They have a balance of busy and quiet which suits any of their guests. First up, is the quiet reception area that is a great place to order and eat food, enjoy the peace or relax with friends. Here they have tables dotted about and even offer some board games which is the perfect ice-breaker for meeting new people.
The outside area is where it’s at! This is where all the evening activities and entertainment happens which includes gender bender night, quiz nights and so much more. Here there are benches which soon fill up in the evening and they even have a pool table. There is also an outside bar and a small stage in the corner where they present the events. Beyond the pool table is a small stone garden area with stalls and tables for when the social areas are super busy.
Tours Available
The hostel offer a great display of tours in Bangkok including temple hopping, river boat tour and a pub crawl. Although we didn’t partake in these tours during our stay, we did enjoy their gender-bender night activity and later in the night joined some rev reps and rev enthusiasts out on Khao San Road to a nightclub. The evening was really fun and turned out to be a late one… 5am!!
If we had more time we would have loved to enjoyed a river boat tour and maybe even the pub crawl but all of the people we met highly recommended the tours.
Would We Recommend
Revolution, Khao San By The Bliss is by no means everyone’s cup of tea but if you LOVE party, or even just travelling alone and want to meet people, then this is the hostel for you. The hostel do amazing with creating ice-breakers to meet fellow travelers and organise some amazing trips for all to enjoy. The daily evening events really offer some great entertainment even if you want to sit and observe the carnage.
Staying in the dorms have good privacy considering you are sharing the room with others. The curtains give good privacy, and you have all the space required for your luggage and more! The private rooms are very similar to a hotel as they are super spacious and provide great comfort when you need a night away from dorms.
The social areas really are the hotspot for the hostel and provides more than enough space to meet people and have a great time during your stay. The staff are also very welcoming and supportive when you are staying and are happy to help with any further plans out of or around the city. We would totally recommend staying at this hostel and when we visit Bangkok again, we look to stay here!
