The property was horrible. I reserved a room with a bed. An I arrived to a dormitory bed set up with men and woman in the same room. The safety and cleanliness are a major concern at this property. I asked for a refund and they laughed and refused any refund. Better to stay on the street then stay here. I left.

HI mintra this is a copy paste of your reservation : Jan 25, 2020 - Feb 5, 2020 (11 Nights) Room Type Dormitory It very clearly states that you booked a dormitory : so our staff made the right decision to put you in a ... Dormitory !!! I would like to know if you experienced any safety issue yourself or if you projected it because we look different. Yes there is graffiti and street art all over the building its is an alternative hostel and there arent than many we ve been doing it for 11 years and thats why people love us (if you dont believe me check our facebook page or instagram) . You booked a 2 dollar night dorm thats discount prices to the max so no we don't give refund. Hope you had a nice stay in Bangkok and please don't blame us for things that are of your responsability : check the policiy of places you book and what room type you choose

If you're looking for a group of quirky, eccentric people to hang out with, this is the spot for you!! If you're planning to do a bunch of tours, none will pickup from this hotel so budget in $5-10/tour to get to the city center. Also, the beds were horribly uncomfortable, like "sheets of dry wall on stilts", so unless you can sleep on anything, wouldn't recommend staying for more than a couple days.

Super stay
Connected with music, it helped me to reconnected with it and with the people. I enjoyed every moment here with the staff and the client. You can express yourself trough arts freely and the hostel shows respect for animals; it is vegan. Don't judge a book by his cover, the hostel may look weird and trash with his grafity and his 100baht fee, but it is really a lot more than what i expected.

Dont stay overstay
Nothing on the posting was actually avaible,the place was dirty with animal feceson the inside. The gym or fitness area was really just a broken machine. The rooftop bar was no where to be found. And the shared kitchen was for vegaterian food only. The staff were rude and very unacommidating just didnt care. I would not recommed this place to anyone. And if you book and change your mind i would get a refund before tour leave as they will not keep their word and return the money afterwards.

Terrible Stay
The place was unique with graffiti and stuff but it was too loud and too dirty. The toilets are disgusting and messy and the room that I have stayed in was awful. Broken window, poor lightening and broken door. I felt like it was a waste of time and money.

we are very cheap hostel, we spent of lot money for artists and musician that why all artists around the world always come visit our place, if you are looking fancy hotel you can not get this price for sure, The Overstay have a lot of Cats and Dogs, all merciful, and lovely people come in our place we not allow to cook meet, because we have vegetarian kitchen The Overstay very different from other hostel because we have many activities and underground music event

Wonderfully Eclectic
I only had 2 nights at The Overstay, but I wish it could have been longer. The staff were super friendly and treated you like family. The place itself was amazing, absolutely covered in art and murals. Everywhere you looked there was something new to take in. It's not fancy in any sense but is down to earth and relaxing. It's not for everyone, but if you want to share a few nights in a great atmosphere with some amazing people I highly recommend it. :) Can't wait to come back next time I'm in Bangkok!

Home away from home at the Overstay
The Overstay is a hostel, art space, and venue, a beautiful hotbed of community and good times. We had a spacious room large enough for a dance party, with great natural light, a stereo, and AC. We saw a few shows and cooked many meals at the Overstay. We felt truly at home in this space. It was always such a joy just poring over the art on every wall, reading some books from the free pile, or just chatting with the numerous other guests in the bar conveniently located downstairs. The hostel was close to many bus lines making it easy to get anywhere, as well as a supermarket, a few malls, and many street stalls. We miss you all at the Overstay already. -Pangea

To party or not to party?
If you don't want to sleep, ever, then this hostel is for you. However if you are a human being like myself and value an hour of sleep very now and then then don't stay at is hostel. Loud music and people whaling talentless nonsense till 7am is a daily occurrence. This is not the fault of he hostel staff but should be considered THE STAFF ARE ALL LOVELY, WELCOMING AND VERY COOL, but the decibel level was very inconsiderate.

Hi RIck we have rooms at all kind of floors, we have 2 dorms on 3 and 4 th floor , so if you have issues with noise why not just ask the lovely and welcoming staff to find you a more quieter room ? Also i do believe that people that party are also human being and that some extremely talented musicians come here please look at the line up of concerts we have had here : major local and international bands !!! Please don't take one exception and make it a rule we love all our guest and try to make them feel like family !!!!

Now I understand the name
Such a great find. Staff will always be there to explain how to get around the city. Places to go out are not too far away - a little more than £1 in a taxi. Great lobby area for socialising - with free pool! It's called the overstay for a reason: I was only meant to stay 2 nights. Ended up staying 9!
