Don't think twice about booking this hostel. The staff is amazing and will help you all the questions you might have. You can book all the tours, motorbikes and all you want you with them. The hostel has great wifi and comfortable lobby space so ideal for digital nomads. Hats off to Paul on being an incredible host.

I was supposed to stay for 2 nights and ended up extending my stay. The location is central, right in the old town and the street is very quiet. The wonderful Chacha and Yaya always made sure everyone was taken care of and safe, they made us feel like family. The hostel has a common room and a little patio in the front, so it is really easy to meet people. I would highly recommend staying in Green sleep :)

This is a little gem of a place. The relaxed friendly welcome instantly made me feel at home. The place itself is an interesting mixture of traditional wood and clean modern facilities. Will stay here again next time I'm passing through Chiang Mai. 20 minutes' walk from the main bus station. Tip: If you're looking for it on Grab it comes up as Allred Cafe.

My English name is Haien. I come from a central city in China. This is my death journey. On October 28, 2024, a Chinese doctor gave me a medically terminal verdict, declaring that my life has come to an end. This is my fourth visit to Thailand—in 2014, 2016, 2019, and now 2024. I like the environment in Thailand, the pace of life, and the relaxation of the Thai people. So, I decided to come to Thailand again in the remaining time of my life to see this city that I deeply love. Staying at Comfort Zone is the beginning of my death journey in Thailand. Comfort Zone has a high rating on Booking.com. First of all, I am very grateful to the staff of Comfort Zone for their help throughout the whole process. Due to my health reasons, after booking Comfort Zone, I immediately sent an email to the office staff to explain my request and reserve a lower bunk for me. The staff of Comfort Zone replied to my email the next day and had reserved a lower bunk for me. Thank you very much to the staff of Comfort Zone. I arrived at Comfort Zone at 11:00 on December 26, 2024. Joe warmly received me. Joe is the owner of Comfort Zone. He can speak a little Chinese, but his English is fluent. He is an expert in Chiang Mai and is very familiar with the area. You can ask Joe any questions. Joe warmly welcomed me and handled the formalities for me. Comfort Zone rooms are not available until 2 pm, but if you handle the formalities in advance, you can store your luggage. Thank you very much. Comfort Zone has a 4.9 rating on Google Maps and 9.8 on Booking. It is a very highly rated youth hostel near Thapae Gate. I booked a bed in a dormitory, which is consistent with the description on Booking.com. The overall style is Instagram-worthy. The location of Comfort Zone is down a straight road opposite the main entrance of Thapae Gate. Turn around at the entrance of 7-Eleven.

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!

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.

    Easily best hostel I’ve stayed in 2 months of travel. The rooms were very private and a great atmosphere compared to the typical bunk beds. Close enough to the city. Quiet when you wanted some quiet in your room and the daily events were great for mingling without being over the top or party centric. Couldn’t of have had a better time meeting new people and finding travellers to do daily things with.
