The so caled room - is just a claustrofobic cuicle. they turn of air condicioner in day time so only can sleep and rest at night. Also internet only works in 5th floor. signal not work in room. The so caled room are mini boxes and there are too many people togueter per floor.
It did not look the pictures. The place is very small, had to walk up many stairs. The common area, kitchen and bathroom are dirty. The bed was clean, the a/c was fine. We stayed only a few hours just to rest before taking a trip.
Its a decent space. The pods are spacious enough, bathtooms are clean.
The only downside is the AC being switched off from 10 am to 6pm. So if you are travelling during summers, you might want to keep that in mind.
But if its only the nights that you wanna spend here then its a good place to crash.
We stayed at matchbox for 2 nights, it's a really good location less than a 5 minute walk to BTS (sky train) and 10 minutes to the subway (underground train) the staff weren't too helpful not a lot of English but they were still nice and let us keep our bags there and use the bathrooms after we had checked out as we were leaving til the evening. The beds were good and bathrooms were kept clean. Secure lockers under beds. Only down fall is they did let a group of about 10 people in at 5-6 am and they turned all the lights on, we did have a curtain to our bed but they still kept us up. I would stay here again though.
I always stay here for my quick trips to Bangkok. It's easy, very clean, the capsules are roomy and have everything you need. Highly recommend

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
not very comfortable hostel
when i arrived they were maintaining the hostel ,their staff were not friendly and think that we are annoying them, hostel price is high for a dormatory room on that area,you can get a hotel room with that price,but hostel has a good facilities in kitchen and inside the matchbox room although the rooms are very small.in overall i do not recommend it for anybody
Hostel clean and tidy! Location very good, with a 7/11 and ATM literally next door and only a 5min walk to the local BTS stop and same walk to a shopping mall and restaurants. Staff all very friendly and welcoming, happy for us to leave luggage before check in and after check out. Kitchen facilities very good, fresh cold drinking water available for free. Luggage storage under bed more than accommodated our two big backpacks. Sleep was average but that was due to the other people in the room with us (eg. People taking calls all through the night, playing music after 10pm.), the AC was good in the kitchen but the beds get a little warm if you close your curtain over night. Would stay again if we were in the area though.
My reservation was supposed to be for a all-female don't warm and when I got there it was put into a mixed dorm. I was told it was because I checked in so late at night and everything else was sold out. I requested a bottom bunk bed and received a top bunk bed. I fail from the top bunk trying to climb down the ladder and hurt myself pretty bad. When I ask for ice, the desk clerk act like she didn't understand what I was talking about. I explained to her that I have fallen and she didn't do anything to assist. I was disappointed in her nonchalant response. The following day I was moved to a different dorm which I thought would have been a female door only to find out it was also a mix of dawn. However I was given a bottom bunk. A different clerk told me where I could get a brace for my hand that I bruised when I fell. I didn't like the fact that your room key was a magnetic card that allow to the inside of the building after hours and also was required to be use each and every time you into the dorm room. There was a very nice rooftop lounge that included and outdoor patio. Nice place to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. This places attached to a 711 which was great for just picking up little things. There were local street vendors selling fresh fruit first thing in the morning and other foods throughout the day. When it was time for me to catch a taxi to go to the airport, there was a taxi right outside of this place. Taxis want you to bargain with them.
Sukhumvit is smokey and 99% of the cars and motos hate walkers and crosswalks. I'm 63, backpacking, and can move pretty well. However, they intimidate walkers like we have worthless lives.
Loved the capsule concept. Especially having my own tv, lights and outlet. This was my second stay here and I plan to stay again when I'm back in Bangkok in two months. The common area was great and cheap to do laundry. I loved the location, close to the bts is always a plus and lots of street food. Yum.
Personal TV is a nice amenity. Bathrooms were extremely clean and the rooftop community area was clean, comfy and useful. The staff was great and I ended up coming back for a second time later on in my trip!
