The staff is the best about this place! So helpful with anything and also recommendations! The facilities were always cleaned. The problem was just that some guests weren’t very considering about cleaning after themselves when using the bathroom for example. The bed was spacious and the room quite big actually. Some socializing is also possible! I’m really looking forward to come back!

The accommodation was neatly cleaned every day. I stayed in a room with a window, and the entire building was well ventilated. There was a separate refrigerator for guests, so I could conveniently store my personal items. The staff always had smiling faces and were really friendly. The accommodation was located in an alley, so it was quite quiet. Even though the alley was right on the road where the Sunday night market was held! I really recommend it in all aspects: location, cleanliness, and staff. If I come back to Old Town, I want to use it again :)

I absolutely loved my stay here. Initially I booked only 3 nights and ended up staying for 2 weeks. The beds are the most comfortable I've had during my whole trip in Thailand, the staff is super friendly and helpful. Even though it isn't a super social hostel I met lots of people. Location is perfect, you can walk everywhere in the old city. I'll defs be 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.

Great location. Bed is comfortable, and if not comfortable, you can ask for different mattress or pillow. Clean bathroom. Large hostel so very social. You can meet a lot of new people from here. Cafe just next to the hostel But I liked the very cheap local breakfast just downstairs of the hostel.
