Chao Hostel places the accommodation decision above the street: the listed address is the eighth floor of the Siam@Siam building on Rama I Road. Its appeal is access to the Siam shopping area, with a choice between dorm accommodation and private rooms.
Choose the room before the skyline
The catalogue pairs a broad communal lounge with a much smaller sleeping space. That difference matters at a hostel, where somewhere to sit outside the room can be as useful as extra bedroom space. It does not establish that every category has a window.
Ismael O, writing about a November 2019 stay on Tripadvisor, liked the cleanliness and transport connections but found a windowless room uncomfortable. Ask for the exact room and window arrangement if daylight is part of your booking decision.
Shared space and sleeping space
Dhe Janet D’s October 2019 solo stay described a comfortable bed, a clean dorm with its own bathroom facilities, and shared kitchen, dining and laundry areas. These are historical observations, so confirm which shared facilities are available with the room being sold now.
Tiffany Anh Tran’s November 2019 account placed noise near rooms 1 and 2 beside a supply area. That is a useful room-position question rather than evidence that the entire property is noisy. The relevant station is National Stadium; the Chao name should not suggest a riverside stay.
