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

Brand new place, used to be a hotel but has been converted into a hostel and it is AMAZING. Bedding was soft and comfortable, really clean, good air conditioning, bathrooms are nice and cleaned daily. I did a late check in (after office hours) as my bus came in later than expected, but it was all easy to navigate and if you have an issue you can message the owners and they will respond very quickly.

I chose this hostel hoping to meet some people after being alone in my previous hostel (low season) and it didn't disappoint! The staff (international) was amazing. There is a pool table, everyone uses grab to order food at the big table in the garden, they organize games etc, so everything is made to connect people which is the best part about traveling. This hostel is just perfect for backpackers. You can rend scooters, they give you recommandations about activities. I was supposed to stay one night but I decided to extend. Toilet and showers are outside of the room which is great. There is free water. The surrounding is great and Blue Temple and Chiang Rai Bus Terminal 1 are close.

All hostels in Chiang Rai

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.
