Such a friendly hostel! The staff working here is so lovely and helpful. It's very easy to meet other travellers in the communal space. Breakfast, complimentary coffee/tea and water are such an excellent addition. The beds are very comfortable, and the bathroom area is clean and spacious. Great location, right in the centre of the old town.

Loved the central location. It was a small hotel, which was a bonus. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and we enjoyed the balcony very much. Our stay was wonderful and I would highly recommend this hotel. Will definitely plan to stay again on my next trip to Chiang Mai 😊

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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.

    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.
