The bed wow, it’s amazing, there is plenty space in the bunk, the shower has a dor and it’s separate, the location is awesome, and the staff as also. There is a little breakfast that it’s enough (if you’re a person who doesn’t eat large amounts of food in the morning - because it’s quite simple) but anyway. When I come back to Chiang Mai (because 3 and half day definitely wasn’t enough) I’ll going to stay there again.

Chiza and Jackie were the nicest hostel hosts we encountered, they had such a friendly attitude and were willing to help with any questions or concerns we had. They had such welcoming personalities, and provided fresh fruits and local snacks each morning for the guests. The hostel was in an excellent location, walking distance from many attractions. The hosts made this experience in Chiang Mai very memorable - will definitely return to this hostel if I’m back.

All hostels in Chiang Mai

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The staff and the Hostel. Warm and welcoming, clean and modern. I kept extending my stay and stayed for almost two weeks. The ladies that work there and the owner are super helpful and friendly and ready to help with anything. Free filter water and coffee and tea, they have a fridge and microwave you can use and you can do your laundry and use the tumbledryer for cheap. Great mobile coffee van right around the corner. Sunday night street market right behind them. Safe to walk around at night.

Great location, small social yet quiet no party hostel, met lovely people here. Very good value for money, good aircon, clean, clean bathroom and bedding, very pleasant atmosphere and common area to relax, study, read, work..very helpful and kind hosts. There is a small spa just at the corner run by a sweet lady who also does laundry at a very good price, very convenient. Felt very safe here and slept really well in the female dorm. Locker keys and fresh towel are provided at 300 Baht deposit. I’ll be back.
