VX THE FIFTY
Budget dorms with a shorter-than-average airport run
About this hotel
The dorm and private room mix here keeps prices down while still covering the essentials: free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and an on-site restaurant for travellers who do not want to venture out for every meal. Laundry facilities matter for anyone on a longer backpacking loop through Thailand, and the four-minute walk to CHARM Bistro and Restaurant gives an easy alternative nearby. What sets this property apart from most of the budget stays in the area is the airport transfer, at roughly 28 minutes by taxi, noticeably shorter than the 40-to-60-minute runs typical of this stretch of the city. Kid-friendly touches mean the property also works for budget-minded families, not just solo backpackers.

Our take
I would choose VX THE FIFTY for a simple, low-cost night or two where the airport matters, since the hostel lists about 28 minutes by taxi. Rooms and dorms, an on-site restaurant, laundry facilities and free WiFi cover the essentials. With a 7.2 rating from 367 reviews, I would not expect polish, and anyone wanting a pool or upmarket finishes should look at other hotels in the area.
- Use the laundry facilities here if you are mid-way through a longer Thailand trip
- Eat at CHARM Bistro and Restaurant four minutes away for a change from the hostel kitchen
- Take advantage of the shorter airport run if you have an early flight
Why we love it
- Airport transfer under 30 minutes
- Laundry facilities on site
- Four-minute walk to CHARM Bistro
- Dorm and private room options
Why guests love itVX THE FIFTY is a low-key hostel with private rooms and dorms, and the listing flags it as kid-friendly. The setting is simple, with a restaurant, laundry facilities and free WiFi, and CHARM Bistro is a four-minute walk away. Guests rate it 7.2 across 367 reviews, so I would treat it as a budget stop for families who accept basic comforts. A private room suits children better than a dorm bed.
