    No air con in the common areas but fans instead, so not a big deal!

    Clean, quite and the feel of being at home. also super easy to do a check in, even past the desk opening times. very central and super clean.

    I've never encountered a hotel with such strict rules regarding towel usage. This policy was implemented due to guests returning from elephant tours with muddy towels.

    Very new, clean, and quiet room. Bed was really comfy. The room decoration was so pretty.

    The water pressure is not strong enough, maybe it's because our floor is the highest floor.

    There was only one shower for male guests at the whole hostel, which did not seem like enough for me. They could easily make mixed bathrooms. Also, the air in the dorm was really bad - it's that tradeoff between having the AC run all day and not having a window open. I definitely didn't sleep my best due to the bad air quality - not even to speak of the smell. At least venting for some time in the day would be good.

    Definitely a good hostel - clean, well designed, and best of all: The AC is running most of the day. In other budget hostels it's switched off most of the time. Also the provided breakfast is decent for the price.

    The top beds were a bit uncomfortable to access, I wish they would provide safer stairs. And a bigger desk to work for long hours working in common are would be nice.

    The staff are so nice and helpful they were amazing! The hostel was clean The beds are nice the breakfast is good but not that interesting.

    The water pressure of the shower is really bad. It takes a lot of time to shower because of that. Also, I think when someone downstairs uses the water, we get even less water on the shower. It would be a great thing to fix that.

    Extremely clean and beautiful. The staff is so nice, they recommended us a lot of cool things to do.

    This was my first time in Chiang Mai, and I am so glad I chose Pakping Hostel. The room was very clean and cozy, and the host couple were incredibly nice. Their baby was also super adorable. I had a truly unforgettable week here and made many wonderful friends.

    This was a great place to stay!

    This was a really lovely hostel! Paul and his wife are super friendly and helpful, and I felt right at home. I especially appreciate that Paul helped figure out alternative activities (and made calls to confirm whether tours were running) when my tour cancelled last minute. The dorm beds felt really private and also had two lockers (one beneath the bed, and a small one on the side of the bed). There is a nice common area, and because of the setup, it was really easy to socialize with other guests. There is filtered water to refill your bottle with. Location was great: on a quiet street but within short walking distance of most destinations in the Old City. A few excellent coffee shops nearby (which the hostel staff provides recommendations via WhatsApp on check-in). Overall, I'm glad I stayed here, and I'll definitely stay here again the next time I am in Chiang Mai.
