Amazing hostel. Staff were super friendly and went out of their way to help with any issues we had. The common room is really well set up for socialising and there was plenty of facilities all very clean. The rooms are spacious and the lockers were big enough to fit my whole bag in. Breakfast is basic but plenty of it and easily made better with a quick trip to the shop. Lovely outdoor area to chill in the sun. Location was good, within walking distance to the center and just off the main road so not noisy

Everything. Great location, walking distance to bus station, Night Bazaar and perfect for sightseeing even on foot. The staff really outstanding! Thanks to Nes and the young girl whose name I unfortunately don't remember, ready to give a lot of advice and information and very serious and attentive in the management and cleaning of the facility. Initially I was a bit scared seeing the dormitory with 12 beds, instead I slept great! Big room and always fresh air, the solution with the curtains attached to the beds is great! Nice terrace! The whole Hostel was always very clean! Coffee, tea, bananas and cookies always available! At this price, a real pampering!

The list goes on!

Probably the best hostel I stayed in yet! Super clean and well maintained. The owner is really helpful and will make sure you’ll have a wonderful stay not only in their hostel, but as well as in Chiang Rai.

The best hostel I’ve been to in Thailand, they recently opened so don’t let the small amount of reviews discourage you from going there, super comfy bedrooms, great staff with fun events every night and super cool common areas. Just go there, you won’t regret it

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.
