A very clean space with great facilities and well-designed to accommodate everyone. One of the few hostels that was generous with hot water in the showers and what a treat that was.

Everything. Great location, walking distance to bus station, Night Bazaar and perfect for sightseeing even on foot. The staff really outstanding! Thanks to Nes and the young girl whose name I unfortunately don't remember, ready to give a lot of advice and information and very serious and attentive in the management and cleaning of the facility. Initially I was a bit scared seeing the dormitory with 12 beds, instead I slept great! Big room and always fresh air, the solution with the curtains attached to the beds is great! Nice terrace! The whole Hostel was always very clean! Coffee, tea, bananas and cookies always available! At this price, a real pampering!

Absolutely everything was great. You can tell the owner of this hostel and their staff created this space to make you comfortable during your time in Chiang Rai. The location was sooo convenient right next to the bus station, the kitchen area was fantastic with a microwave, fridge etc, free tea, coffee and snacks, there are laundry machines, wifi was great. The list goes on!

One of the cleanest hostels I've stayed at. Matt was a great host, even though I was only there for a night. Good location to bus station, night bazaar and markets. Awesome breakfast too... boiled eggs, fresh fruit, toast, and home-made (still warm) French toast in single serving casserole dishes. I would stay again if I go back to Chiang Rai.

The best hostel I’ve been to in Thailand, they recently opened so don’t let the small amount of reviews discourage you from going there, super comfy bedrooms, great staff with fun events every night and super cool common areas. Just go there, you won’t regret it

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
