This is really a magnificent hostel for people who are digital nomads and want a serene, sterile stay. Extremely clean and. Is it extremely quiet. Before the door into the female hostel there is a large front area where a lot of office like computer workspace available in front. It's a 15 minute walk to town. If you like to converse with other travelers there is a coffee shop on the corner. The rooms do offer curtains for the bunk beds and a metal shelf space for each person to have their belongings hung.

Out of dozens of hostels all around Asia this one is my absolute favorite, the breakfast buffet alone is worth the price of the room every day, and thats not mentioning the lovely staff, incredible (free!) Thai food on Wednesdays, and the beautiful green area with hammocks. Stayed a month and it didn’t feel like enough

The best thing about this hostel is the staff. The nicest and most helpful people you will find in Pai. It is a short walk to Pai walking street. For me it was nice to be in a quieter area and I still found friends in the hostel to spend time with at the pool. Lots of space to relax. The staff kept the room clean.

All hostels in Pai

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 hostel is absolutely amazing! Great location, not even 10min walk from town, the pool and the view are incredible, the pets are super cute and friendly. The staff is amazingly friendly and super helpful with everything. Dorms are comfy, spacious, cleaned and well maintained. This is a 11/10 hostel for sure! They have food and drinks with a decent price. Loved it so much I had to extend for one more night.

    The lady who runs the hostel is amazing! She can help you with literally anything - she can book your transport for the cheapest rate going, she got me a safety pin when i had a splinter and just in general i really felt like she was looking out for me which was so lovely especially as a solo female traveller. The beds too are super comfy with njce curtains and bathrooms njce too plus the garden is gorgeous - super nice place to chill you wouldn’t believe it’s right next to walking street - location could not be more perfect

    The best hostel we have stayed at in Thailand by far! Rooms are very clean and new, shower is amazing! Very sociable hostel! Bar open every night with good night life (special shout out to the bar man who was so lovely). The bar has all sorts of games out for you to get involved with… beer pong, connect 4, Uno, cards etc… met so many great people at this hostel! Great location and staff are very welcoming. Pool is clean and refreshing when it’s sunny. Cannot fault this hostel at all! Perfect for young backpackers who love to socialise!

    Free yoga classes every morning and the hostel arrange a lot of free/cheap activities. There’s a really nice vibe and it’s social but without being a party hostel. The best hostel in Pai!

    I think this is the best hostel in Pai! Good atmosphere and many opportunities to meet new people. The managers are very involved with the guests. Yoga classes are offered every day and trips are organized. The rooms are hygienic and comfortable enough. Good value for money. I would definitely go back here and regret not being able to stay longer.
