I could not recommend this hostel enough. I arrived very early morning and George was so kind. Gives you a warm welcome and is always so lovely to the guests. They even provide complimentary food items in their lovely chilled common area. The whole hostel was extremely clean and as a solo traveller I felt 100% safe. Thank you so much George & family!🤗

We really enjoyed our stay in Villa 1 for two weeks in this boutique hotel. It's in the Old City and, therefore, close to everything (the Sunday night market is just around the corner). P and Pan are excellent hosts and will go out of their way to ensure you enjoy your stay. Breakfasts are delicious - Thai, fruit, eggs, sausage, toast and croissants, and the coffee is very good. Dinner is offered on request. What I liked most were the personal touches P and Pran bring to their hotel. We'll return for sure!

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.
