Excellent hostel - very nicely thought out amenities and logistics. One of the few I’ve seen with signs asking not to slam doors, so it’s nice and quiet. The lady who works there baked cookies/brownies, which was extra nice :) location is perfect for Chiang Rai - 2 min from bus station/market.

Everyone working there was wonderful, except when those bastards beat us at beer pong! How dare they 😉 The place is spacious, beds are comfi and there are fun activities. They set up a scooter to be delivered at the hostel for me and gave me great advice on where to go and what to see. Awesome place, incredible value! Ps. Number 17 in Bingo still has me smiling. What is it? Book and find out!

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 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.

    great location- so central! staff are friendly, we had a private twin room. most comfortable bed we’ve had in Thailand so far. relatively clean- bathrooms could have a good going over but not bad compared to some hostels at all. Cheapest hostel we’ve had so far :)
