    Location was super convenient - literally steps from the bus station and the night Bazaar. The owner was also super friendly and helpful and really made me feel right at home. Facilities were great - comfiest hostel bed in Thailand I've had so far, spacious lockers. Really enjoyed my stay and won't hesitate to book again next time I'm in Chiang Rai.

    Water pressure in the showers is very weak, not ideal to wash long hair. Reception is only open until 5 or 6pm, so if you want to come late without any booking, you can't. It's a bit dark in the bathroom, more light would be appreciated:)

    It was very quiet, and I was alone in the female dorm for 2 nights! Lockers are provided (you need to bring your own padlock) and big enough for a big backpack. The bed was comfortable and the room very bright with natural light. You get a towel as well. The reception was veeery kind. It's a one minute walk from the bus terminal and the night market. Snacks, a water filling station, tea and coffee are provided.

    Mattress was very hard however it did not affect my sleep

    I love how clean and light it was, and how close to bus stop, the WiFi worked well and I had the room to myself for super cheap… air con was amazing! Felt secure and safe - close to night market also. Don’t normally venture out at night when solo travelling but everything was so close in terms of shops and market

    Not the most social place. One lady wanted to sleep in 30-35c heat in the room and wasn't too nice about it when I said to move it down to something reasonably cool as it is very hot inside the room

    Everything! The hostel is so neat and tidy and has a really nice rooftop where you can hang your clothes from washing at the machine which you just pay 20 baht plus 10 baht for soap powder. The smoking corner is on the rooftop. Beats anywhere else! They have a first aid kit stocked with bandages, gauze and antiseptic wash and ibruprofen, charcoal tablets etc. There are multiple areas for lounging and it is very comfortable and cozy. Location is excellent. 100 meters from the bus station and daily night market and 7-11 is directly opposite the bus station about a 3 minute walk. Plenty of food options, watsons and boots pharmacy and massage places for 200/250 baht an hour. There are pubs and cafes at affordable prices too. Privacy curtains for the bunk beds and a huge storage locker which you need to have your own lock. The staff took out my washed laundry when I did it at 2:30am and hung it out to dry first thing in the morning when I woke up at 8:45am to take it myself.

    I can not fault this place had a great time.

    The room was large and comfortable, you feel safe and rested from the busy outside world. The layout also had many places to sit and relax outside of your room so you get to meet some new people. The location was amazing right next to the night markets. They also had a washing machine and lines to hang out wet washing which was so convenient.

    nothing. It was perfect for my needs.

    Great value for the money. My room was clean and the bed was comfortable. It is a 2 min walk from the bus station and a 2 min walk to the lively night market (I could literally see if from my window). It is still quiet even though it's right near the market and station. The common areas and bathrooms were also clean. There was a full size fridge in the kitchenette area with a microwave and the hostel provided hot and cold water for coffee or to refill your water bottle. It also had a washing machine to clean your clothes; you can then hang them to dry on a line on their rooftop area. The woman who works there was so helpful and was probably the kindest, sweetest person I've met in all of my travels throughout Thailand. I definitely recommend this place.

    The hostel itself is magnificent. The staff is wonderful. But the hosts did not set particularly hospitable rules. Usually, if your flight is late in the evening, the hostel comes to meet you and allows you to stay in the common area after your check-out and wait for the evening. I was literally asked to go out with my things. I had to go to the airport 3 hours earlier than I was supposed to and sit there. I still don't understand why.

    Great location, very cozy and clean. Good cost.

    The mattress was very hard but we like firm beds so it wasn't too bad. If you like soft beds, you might struggle! We stayed in a private room, so I'm not sure if it'd be the same for dorm beds. The common rooms of the hostel got very hot which was a shame because we didn't really get a chance to enjoy the cute spaces - but its a heat wave at 42 degrees so I don't think that could've been avoided.

    Fon from the front desk was so attentive! Very clean hostel, and we loved the free snacks. We loved the location - right near the bus stop and the Chang Rai Night Bazaar - but we didn't hear any noise!
