Beautiful hostel, very good self-served breakfast and snacks/fruit/beverages available all day. Nice rooms too with big lockers and curtains for your privacy. Simply the best I've seen in Thai so far. Plus the hosts are incredibly nice and welcoming. They let me leave my bag for the day after check out.

The lady at reception could not do enough for me including finding a local yoga class and mat. It's a super chill quiet hostel. Location is excellent.

What a great find! I came across the newly opened Secret Corner boutique hostel in Chiang Rai, - everything is brand new and super clean, + the WiFi is amazing! The dorm rooms are smartly laid out and the beds are v comfortable. The central location makes for easy access to nearby centre bars & restaurants. The other guests were from Asia and the far side of Europe making for some great discussions! Highly recommended.

If you want to meet new friends quickly and feel like you’re part of a little family, this is the place to be. By far the best hostel I’ve stayed at in Thailand. When you arrive and check in, within 30 minutes, you’ll likely have met 4-5 new people. It’s an amazing vibe that makes you feel great right away. Plus, they offer a free egg in the morning with toast and coffee, which is a perfect start to your day. The beds are comfortable, the showers have great pressure with hot water, towels are included, and the AC works perfectly. They host games or events every night, and you’re always welcome to join in. You can also play ping pong, volleyball, or badminton. The two owners are incredibly friendly and helpful, assisting you with getting anywhere you need to go. They’ve even made a map that you can scan with a QR code, allowing you to see all the best activities in Chiang Rai on Google Maps, perfect for planning your day. It’s such a welcoming place. I hope I can stay there again!

The staff, especially the receptionist/manager are super-friendly yet very professional. The location of the hotel right in the city centre is a real plus. The room was really clean, bright, functional and well-decorated. Exceptionally good value for money.

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
