I stayed at a hostel that exceeded my expectations in every aspect. The location was fantastic, providing easy access to key attractions. The cleanliness was impeccable, and the beds were exceptionally comfy, with spacious bunk beds that added a unique touch. The staff were not only friendly but also incredibly helpful, making my stay more enjoyable. The room was nicely and surprisingly quiet, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. The light breakfast offered was a pleasant start to the day, and the overall environment created a welcoming and positive atmosphere. I highly recommend this hostel for a memorable and comfortable stay.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Location: Just a few minutes from Tha Phae Gate, close to temples, cafes, and the Sunday Night Market. Central yet peaceful at night. Staff: Super friendly and helpful — always ready with local tips, tour bookings, and transport advice. Cleanliness: Rooms and bathrooms are spotless. Daily cleaning keeps everything fresh and tidy. Comfort: Comfy beds, good linens, and strong A/C. Quiet at night — perfect for resting after a day out. Common Areas: Cozy shared space with free tea, coffee, and a water refill station. Great for relaxing or chatting with other travelers. Wi-Fi: Fast and reliable — works well throughout the property. Atmosphere: Friendly, chill, and welcoming. Easy to meet people, but not a party hostel. Security: Secure entry, lockers available, and the neighborhood feels safe even after dark. Extras: Luggage storage, scooter rental nearby, and laundry service around the corner. Extended my stay because everything just worked — location, vibe, value, and comfort all in one.

Loved the central location. It was a small hotel, which was a bonus. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and we enjoyed the balcony very much. Our stay was wonderful and I would highly recommend this hotel. Will definitely plan to stay again on my next trip to Chiang Mai 😊

Everything about it. Already stayed here last week, went up to Pai, then the original plan was pass through one night here on my way to Chiang Rai. But loved the hostel so much decided to stay here again instead. Sky as always was awesome and welcoming. Insane value for your money. Thanks for everything!

All hostels in Chiang Mai

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

The staff and the Hostel. Warm and welcoming, clean and modern. I kept extending my stay and stayed for almost two weeks. The ladies that work there and the owner are super helpful and friendly and ready to help with anything. Free filter water and coffee and tea, they have a fridge and microwave you can use and you can do your laundry and use the tumbledryer for cheap. Great mobile coffee van right around the corner. Sunday night street market right behind them. Safe to walk around at night.

Great location, small social yet quiet no party hostel, met lovely people here. Very good value for money, good aircon, clean, clean bathroom and bedding, very pleasant atmosphere and common area to relax, study, read, work..very helpful and kind hosts. There is a small spa just at the corner run by a sweet lady who also does laundry at a very good price, very convenient. Felt very safe here and slept really well in the female dorm. Locker keys and fresh towel are provided at 300 Baht deposit. I’ll be back.
