Location and accommodation for the value was exceptional. The property is off an alley, so the street is nice and quiet, but only a few hundred feet from the main road and a quick walk to Tha Phae Gate. George and Kim, the hosts, were attentive, charming, and knowledgeable. Eager to help however they can! Other guests were respectful, the complimentary breakfast layout was solid.

I loved this stay from the moment I stepped in until a month later I stepped out. The staff were super warm and caring, and even gave me a home made birthday gift! The room was comfortable and clean, the fridge was sticked with cold drinks and the room was cleaned regularly. The location was ideal, and right on the Sunday night market road. I would recommend this stay 100%!

All hostels in Chiang Mai

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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.
