Description of The Wanderlust Hostel
The Wanderlust is a cozy NEW hostel set up by travellers for travellers. We hope to service like-minded visitors who seek to push beyond postcard tourism in the pursuit of a lifetime of memories and friendships that stretch across continents. Located away from the Khao San area, in Sukhumvit and just 5 mins away from the Ekkamai BTS and bus station, The Wanderlust offers our guests a chilled, cozy and social atmosphere with convenience of getting around right at your fingertips. We are located at a secure location right next to the Embassy of Brunei Darussalam. Also, The Wanderlust is in close proximity (walkable distances) to a beer garden, awesome nightlife, mall, cineplex, Big C (large supermarket), Health Land (famous Spa and Traditional Thai massages), Thong Lo and much much more! The Wanderlust believes that being cheap (pun unintended) does not mean compromising on our quality. All our rooms are CLEAN, ensuite and we are FULLY air-conditioned. We offer opportunities to socialize by organizing outings and activities for our guests. We also have genuinely friendly staff , free WiFi, complimentary breakfast, an on-location mini bar, outdoor chillout patio and much more! As travellers ourselves, we understand that it is really all about the people, the food, the culture and the experience. Having said that, we have to admit that The Wanderlust is not for someone who is seeking a 5 star hotel experience. Our intention is to charm our guests with quirks and personality, and we sure as hell hope to provide our guests with an experience that is unique and social . new! - Trips to Muay Thai fights!! - Traditional Thai Massages!! - Outings to Khao San Road!! *** Important Information *** a) Please note that arrivals between 10pm to 8am have to be confirmed and notified with details of your arrival schedule or there might not be anyone here to check you in.

“ A nice and comfortable place not very far from airport. Alvina was there always to help you out. Will won't mind coming again, and paying more if I get AC the whole day... It is the character of this place that appeals to you. ”

“ Highly recomend this place. The atmosphere is great, Alvina's fantastic, and the place is super clean. Only downside is that it's really far away from anything, but a quick trip on the BTS (which is right down the road) will sort you out. Ace place! ”

“ If you want to escape the crowds of Khoa San Rd then this is perfect. The owner is super friendly and helpful. The only downside is it is far from most things and if you want to stay out late and have some drinks this is probably not the best place as everyone goes to sleep early. ”
