Rosemary United States of America

Everything was amazing! - There is 24/7 reception always ready to help - Staff is nice and helpful, and speaks English - Hostel is very value for money for what you are getting - Great location located at center of city - 5min walk to a 7-11 - 5min ride to multiple co-working space - Near north gate, meaning there is always cheap local dinner available - Has washing machine and dryer. Hot, fresh and clean clothes in less than 2h - Staff will help guest to contact scooter rental if needed. Rent and return the scooter all from the hostel, fuss free for guest. Most importantly!! Everything from environment to facilities is clean and tidy!!! And I meant the common areas, toilet, rooms and bed.

There is huge common space for the guests. They have a very well-equipped kitchen where you can prepare your meal from the scratch.

First impressions were awesome as a hostel choice in Chiang Mai. As a guest, every aspect of my stay really was exceptional. Highly recommend the Common Hostel.

Emily United States of America

Great facilities, use of kitchen and fridge, breakfast was also a nice selection and staff were also very helpful/friendly! Washing machine really good value at 20baht and drying racks available upstairs to dry your clothes. Beds very comfy and it was also very clean, bathroom facilities were great and plenty of showers to use! We had a very good stay, would recommend 🙂

I stayed there 2 times in a double bed in a share room, I had no issue, everything was perfect, the staff is amazing, music is good, vibe, easy for solo travelers, the hostel also offers you free water bottle, tea and coffee. As you can read up there, I highly recommend :)

Anyarin Thailand

I really enjoyed the hostel, it was lovely and clean and had great facilities. It's quite a quiet hostel which is what I wanted, but I wouldn't recommend if people are looking for a party hostel.

Emma Ireland

The Common Hostel is so wonderful. Comfy rooms, huge common areas, amazing helpful staff, clean facilities, spacious beds and storage, INSANE breakfast, good location and a really nice area. Enough people to meet without being on top of each other. The perfect quiet but busy hostel and everything was such a great experience. Great value for money in Thailand (where hostels can be expensive) THANK YOU 💜💜

  • Do I need a lock for the lockers?
    Yes, you do. But you can always rent them in the reception for 100 THB. We return the money when we receive the lock.
    Answered on October 24, 2019
  • Do you have planned events or activities?
    Hi HOSTEL doesn't organize tours itself but, based on the feedback from our guest, we know some tour operators who are quite good. They keep their brochures and programs at the Front Desk so the easiest way is to have a look upon check-in and we can help you to book the right tour. Hope this helps!
