All guest rooms at the hostel are fitted with a seating area. The rooms include a safety deposit box, while some rooms have a balcony and others also feature city views. All rooms will provide guests with a fridge. Great place to meet people and a really good part of Chiang Mai, everything is so convenient, there's also a park near where people workout and do yoga in the morning. The owner is a great guy, very nice and helpful, the staff are lovely. I was lucky to meet some fellow travelers who turned out to be amazing people and made my stay in Chiang Mai more exciting. Would definitely go back there again, if I have the chance.

Well situated in Chiang Mai, Green Sleep Hostel offers air-conditioned rooms, a shared lounge and free WiFi. The property is around 1 km from Chang Puak Market, 1.3 km from Chiang Mai Gate and 1 km from Chang Puak Gate. Tha Pae Gate is 1.2 km from the hostel and Chiang Mai Night Bazaar is 2.7 km away. Very clean hostel, comfortable bed, perfect location and amazing staff (especially cha cha) I’m in love with the staff there, they treat you as a friend more than a guest. The vibe and the type of people I met there was above the expectations, I made a lot of new friends from different nationalities.

Located in Pai, 200 metres from Pai Night Market, Moon Garden Hostel provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a shared lounge. Located around 2.5 km from Wat Phra That Mae Yen, the hostel with free WiFi is also 8 km away from Pai Canyon. The property is non-smoking and is set 200 metres from Pai Bus station. Great location—just a 5-minute walk to the night street, but tucked away in a quiet spot perfect for relaxing. 10 minutes walking to minivan station. The atmosphere is super chill, especially in the lounge area where it's easy to unwind or meet other travelers. The bathroom was impressively clean throughout my stay. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a good balance of nightlife access and laid-back vibes.
