Everything. Great location, walking distance to bus station, Night Bazaar and perfect for sightseeing even on foot. The staff really outstanding! Thanks to Nes and the young girl whose name I unfortunately don't remember, ready to give a lot of advice and information and very serious and attentive in the management and cleaning of the facility. Initially I was a bit scared seeing the dormitory with 12 beds, instead I slept great! Big room and always fresh air, the solution with the curtains attached to the beds is great! Nice terrace! The whole Hostel was always very clean! Coffee, tea, bananas and cookies always available! At this price, a real pampering!

I liked everythings , the staff is amazing and the property was very clean. They know how to put you at ease and you will feel at home. Every morning you can have breakfast outside and every evening you can join guests and staffs for night activities. This place is close to all the points of interest in the city. Be careful you risk staying longer than expected. Thanks for all social garden family.

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.
