The rooms and facilities were sleek and clean. The beds were fairly comfortable, and the common space was lovely. The location is also lovely being right within the old town but on a quiet, peaceful street.

This is a beautiful boutique hostel situated right in the old town. The location was amazing, so close to lovely cafes, the street where the sunday night market sets up and everything else you could want. The owner was so lovely she was so helpful and kind to us during our stay. We booked the 4 bed dorm and it was so spacious, way more so than the average dorm and the beds were very comfortable. The property was so clean and it was so convenient that they had a washing machine and drying racks so you could do your own laundry. There’s also a lovely cafe downstairs.

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.
