    the mattress was a litte worn through but not too bad. only 1 female block of showers and toilets meaning that I had to go down a set of stairs to get to it.

    Great welcoming hostel, the sleeping pods are spacious, the lighting inside the pods is great and very privat.

    It was very quiet, so hard to meet people as a solo traveller without anything going on. Very peaceful though and would be good for families/groups.

    Super clean and spacious. Really good location in the old town. Breakfast is simple but good, eggs, toast, salad, and usually noodles or curry.

    Super spacious dorm rooms, ample lockable cupboards inside your bunk, cheap washing machine and dryer and also space to hang your clothes to dry on the balcony as well, incredible location inside old town, walked everywhere. Super helpful booking day tours. Free water refill station. Friendly staff. Large bunks with comfortable beds. Lots of toilets and showers, cleaned thoroughly each day.

    There was very little storage space in the rooms - enough for your valuables but not a big bag. Also there’s a ventilation strip on the curtain over the bed which made it feel a little less private. Depending on which floor you are on, the toilets can be up to two flights of stairs away.

    The beds are super comfy, there’s loads of space to chill downstairs, free water, nice breakfast and a good location.

    That the bathroom was not on the same floor and that the bathroom was always so hot and the door always opened...

    The cleanliness, the music, the terasse in the front, the 3rd floor living space for yoga, the queen size mattress bunk bed and having a safe box right next to it :)

    Posh hostel - one of the few with soft mattresses in Chiang Mai
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Bunk Bed in Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The curtains are good for privacy, but not good for blocking light as they also have a pretty big seethrough ventilation strip...difficult to find a balance here between ventilation and light, I guess. The WIFI also dropped out on me on quite a few occasions but was mostly back after a minute or so. Also, the hostel is right adjacent to a medium busy road, so you suffer from a lot of road noise in the common areas on the ground floor.

    Looking for a longer term stay I tested quite a few hostels in that week and this one stood out very positively: - Super clean - Soft mattresses - Great communal area - Basic but good breakfast included I would have eaten off the floor anywhere in this hostel and spent quite some time in the communal area as you can sit inside and outside and actually do some work. The bathrooms are amazing and you actually feel like jumping under a pressure washer once you get into the showers. Finally a hostel with proper water pressure! Next door you find an excellent (but pricey) café, but there's also plenty of room to do some cooking and preparing for yourself as you can call a massive and decently clean kitchen your own. Next to the kitchen you also find some in-house laundromats, of which only half were working as far as I could tell. But convenient nonetheless. The sleeping pods are excellent, and are equipped with soft mattresses and a curtain - apart from the soft mattress (which is rare in Chiang Mai) nothing outstanding here. The vibes were semi-social, but I read somewhere they have an evening with live music every week. Not sure if that's still the case, though.

    Needs a curtin in front of bathroom door, very bright light in the morning. No door lock to the balcony. Quite steep stairs up to the different levels with no elevator for if you have bad knees.

    I was in my own room and the bed was very comfortable and the room was very clean. Not a noisy hostel. Air Con worked great.

    I've stayed at this hostel multiple times, and every visit has been consistently excellent. What really sets this place apart for me are the cleanliness and the incredibly friendly staff. They always make me feel welcome, and it's clear that they take pride in maintaining a high standard. The dorm beds are very comfortable, and I really appreciate the privacy features they offer—it's not something you always get in a shared space, but it's done really well here. Whether it's the cleanliness or the friendly atmosphere, I always know I can expect great service at this hostel, which is why I keep coming back. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and pleasant place to stay!

    While the lively atmosphere was great for meeting new people, the high volume of guests meant that cleanliness wasn't always a highlight. Additionally, I found there was little to no space for storage in the dorms.

    I recently stayed at this hostel and wanted to highlight the politeness of the staff—they were always friendly and accommodating, which made my experience more enjoyable. While I was a bit underwhelmed overall, I did appreciate the consistently delicious and varied breakfast each morning. The location was also perfect, providing easy access to nearby attractions. Overall, it had its strengths, but I was hoping for a bit more.

    If you are a light sleeper, you may need to bring an earplugs or headphones with you. As I mentioned that the location is in city center so you may hear some noise from the road.

    The location of this hostel is very convenient. It is located in the city center which is very easy to go to the tourist attraction places that located in the city. There are many Rod Daeng ( the red local bus) running around this area. Also the Chang Phueak night market is very close by. It just 9 minutes walk to there. The hostel also provides you complimentary drink and WiFi.

    Great hostel. The cleanest one I’ve been to so far. Very nice and accommodating staff, ping pong table was a nice addition. The beds were very comfortable and a good size. There are lockers in each bed so that was perfect to leave your things: just make sure you bring a lock. Great location and overall a very quiet/calm hostel experience.

    Should provide flipflops for washroom, sometimes people enters into washrooms with shoes, that makes the floor dirty.

    Tip Top environment, staffs were great and very friendly and welcoming. Obviously not for those who are looking for pub crawling or etc etc.

    This was my second time staying here, and it is perfect. In the old quarter, but in a quiet area. It is also beside two fantastic restaurants (one vegan) and a good massage place. The bunk beds are very well built, so do not move when people are getting in and out of them. The rooms are very clean, and the aircon works well. the included breakfast was nice, and I loved the free coffee and water. really great!
