A7 Hidden Hostel - Bangkok    Share

FIRE RISK DEATH TRAP!!! The hostel is built on the roof of the Atlas Hotel in Soi 7/1 Sukhumvit at SEVENTH FLOOR level. The building is a fire risk death trap. When reading this bear in mind that the building is 6 storeys tall and the hostel is additionally built on top of the original roof. The building is completely unsafe. There are no fire or smoke detectors. There is not even a fire alarm of any sort. And there is only one single escape route - and that is a WOODEN - i.e. combustible - stair case. Extremely unsafe. And the fire extinguishers are ancient and not checked: the one on my floor was 21 years out of date!! Also the hotel location is inaccessible to fire engine ladder units - so in event of fire everyone will probably die inside or on the roof of the hotel. This hotel and the hostel built on top of it does not comply with any form of fire standard. It willl be one of those awful tragedies that should never have been allowed to happen. The hotel and hostel immediately should be shut down by Thai Authorities until an authoritative professional fire safety review is conducted and the recommendations are implemented. (I was staying in the hotel - but the building is the same as the hostel.)

Great location. Slept here for one night because I flew out the next morning. Hostel is located on the 7th floor. The hostel is 50 meters walking from the skytrain which is a very convenient way to go if you are traveling to or from the airport.

Nice place for stay night

The place is clean and open, but it is on the rooftop so the common room can get extremely hot during summer. Nice place for backpackers if you don't mind sharing the bathroom with others because man and woman using the same bathroom

Nice chill out lounge, clean rooms, and good bathrooms for 350 THB for a hostel. Good location next to the sky train. I did not notice it and walked past it, and was met by someone people working in the hospitality industry.
