Reviews of Pakping Hostel

Great location, very clean and very helpful staff on reception!

The place is nice and I liked the facilities and the room!

The shared bathrooms could get more attention as they’re dirty most of the time!

The staff were wonderful and very helpful sorting and it my tours.

I got stuck with a top bunk with my twisted ankle, but that happens.

The hostel is very centrally located and clean.

Koki, the lady at the reception desk has helped me all along since the moment I arrived. She helped me out with anything I needed. In addition it was a very clean hostel!

It’s not the most social hostel but good enough to meet a couple of people.

The staff are friendly and the location is very facilitating.

The smell from toilet was unpleasant.

Great location, staff and so so clean!

Beds were like rocks very uncomfortable which was a shame cause the hostel was so lovely!

I liked the living room area.

Having to take our shoes off right at the door and walking around the entire building barefoot wasn’t pleasant. Also the bathrooms are tiny and aren’t clean in my opinion. There’s an odor that follows them. This place is advertised as being really clean and it’s why I booked it, but it wasn’t clean. The sinks clogged up when you used them to brush and it was just not the vibe. I will not be booking here ever again.

The staff are friendly and helpful. Place are really clean!! It’s good deal with this price!!

The bed in female dom is too hard to me. Need more hook to hung clothes, they only provide one hanger for each person.

The hostel is not only in a central but still calm location so that you can reach all the important things by foot, but is also beautifully designed and very clean at all times. You get all the necessary essentials that you need to have a comfortable stay. The best part, however, was the staff. Koki and her team make sure that no question is left unanswered - whether it's help with booking activities, recommendations about food/shopping/sight seeing or a spontaneous reservation for a relaxing massage. The many benefits in combination with the very fair price made my stay absolutely perfect and I highly recommend the hostel when you’re in Chiang Mai.

The only small negative point is that there are relatively few options for hanging towels/clothes in the dorm room. An additional clothes rail on the wall would be helpful.

Pakping Hostel provided little touches like simple breakfast, soap and shampoo in the shower room, which are more than what some hotels provide. Staff were very warm and helpful. Room and sleeping area are decently sized, with lockers provided for you to keep your backpack and casual bag.

It would help if there are more hooks in the room for guests to hang raincoats wet from the rain.

Very clean hostel in the ideal location and with exceptional staff.

Papking was my home is Chiang Mai. Where do I begin? I woke up each day feeling the need to smile and feel loved by the owners - Koki and Paul. They were the two most incredible hosts that I have come across in my years of traveling. I had initially booked a week's stay and then extended it to about 23 days, because a week of love and warmth wasn't enough! The space in itself is stunning with chic minimalist interiors that are blended with comfort and gives a sense of luxury while being affordable. The hygeine is top notch as the team works cautiously to ensure that it is spic and span by steaming the beds each time a guest checks out. I have not witnessed this level of hygiene anywhere else - and this is all thanks to Koki who believes that her guests must be comfortable and healthy while they stay here. She is someone who goes above and beyond to ensure the comfort of someone who stays at Pakping by also guiding them to local activities that are unique and versatile to experience in the ethereal city of Chiang Mai. She helps you feel at home and checks on you if there is something that you need. I loved her energy and look forward to going back soon. The icing on the cake is her lil corgi dog Nico who pays a visit. Overall if I have to sum up my experience I want to say that I found a home in a different country and now Chiang Mai will be a place I will always go back to - all thanks to my dear friend Koki and her husband Paul. Hands down the two of the nicest folks in the world! Wish you guys the best of everything - until we meet again <3

I loved everything about this place!

Clean facilities, helpful staff, good location. Quiet

Not much I didn't like, this isn't a bustling hostel where you meet a lot of people. It's more quiet, people keep to themselves
