No.9 Hostel Kanchanaburi

Conveniently located in the city center near amenities, the hostel offers clean, comfortable rooms with friendly staff. Guests appreciate the comfortable bed and air conditioning but note the lack of windows.

Stayed here for 3 nights in one of the six bed dorms. Immediately on entering the hotel, there is a guest area with chairs & tables with the reception behind. The staff was very welcoming on check-in and the whole process was pretty straight-forward. There’s a 200 deposit for a swipe card for entry into the hotel and keys for the locker. I was given a tour of the kitchen, bathrooms and the dorms. I think there are two dorms with six beds each, arranged capsule style. There was a locker assigned, but it was too small to fit my medium-sized backpack, so that went on the floor while valuables went in the locker. There’s no window in the room, but it was large enough that it didn’t get humid when the AC was on. The bunk had an electrical point, a privacy light and privacy curtains. The mattress was medium firm i.e soft by Asian standards. I slept comfortably all 3 nights. The two shared bathrooms each have a toilet. I only used one of the bathrooms during the stay and it was superbly clean. Shampoo and liquid soap are both supplied from the dispensers. The shower worked well and I had no trouble getting warm water. I didn't try getting hotter water as the weather was insanely hot. Location wise, the hostel is south of Kanchanaburi train station. There’s plenty of bars, restaurants, Thai massages and shops on that street, although it’s far enough down the street that it’s quiet. Overall, I had a fantastic style. I think the hostel is new as that's how everything looks. I only ever saw one staff member on duty and she was great. Very friendly, welcoming and helpful. I would have no hesitation in staying at No. 9 Hostel again or recommending it to anyone.
