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

The owner of this guest house, Rung is lovely and extremely helpful. She is always caring about the guests. We stayed with our 5 months-old son, and felt very comfortable. She gave us advices on what we should see, offered us coffee/fruits everyday. We enjoyed having breakfast at the terrace. Stayed here for 6 days and wish we could stay longer. Highly recommend to stay here!

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 best hostel I stayed in during my trip. the design is beautiful, the place is extremely clean, it’s less than a minute from the bus station. The owner and staff were absolutely lovely, trusting and took great care of me. I loved that there are laundry facilities and a cute kitchen and hang out area. I always felt my stuff was safe. Note that there are strict house rules. The hostel also offered some very comprehensive tours of Chiang Mai’s attractions

Great location near bus station and walking street. Lots of bars and restaurants nearby. Hostel very laidback and has a reggae bar feel to it. No beer sold here but 7/11 round corner. Weed available too. Would recommend. Stopped in dormitory for 3 nights.
