Everything was perfect! Very thoughtful and pleasant aesthetic, very clean and the staff were so lovely. Beds comfy, wifi strong, a well oiled machine all around. I can see why it is such a popular choice. And the location means that everything within the old city is within a 15 minute walk. Thank you for a wonderful stay 🙏

Sky the owner is the sweetest lady, she is so friendly and helpful. She helped arrange busses and recommended places to visit, as well as knowing about local tours and trips. She's always offering you tea, coffee or sticky rice! She runs the place single handed, She really is an amazing lady 😊 The location is great, it's really easy to walk around Chiang Mai. There is a morning market and a night market really close to the hostel too.

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.
