    One of the best hostels I stayed in SA. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the beds are big and comfy, the room has lockers and the hostel is very clean. They also have a washing machine and a rooftop to hang the clothes. The location is very good, just a few steps from the night market and the bus terminal.

    There was only one sink in the female bathroom on my floor, not enough.

    Exceptionally clean and comfortable double room, aircon worked well and Ket, the receptionist was welcoming and helpful. Quiet at night and lovely touches like free snacks. You can see the hostel as you get off the bus and the night market is right next door. I would definitely stay there again.

    One of the best hostel experiences I've had in all of my travels.

    • Bed in 4-Bed Female Dormitory Room

    There is truly not much that I didn't like about this hostel. If I were being extremely picky, I could say that the location to the street market could be heard in the night but quieted down at a reasonable hour like most of Thailand. But the close vicinity made experiencing the street market simple and getting delicious food close to home.

    This stay was wonderful! The staff was so friendly, helpful and informative. The facilities were stocked, clean and well thought out. The cleaning of the common areas and rooms was daily and spotless! They had a fully stocked kitchen area, including a refrigerator and microwave, to make some simple meals or bring food back with you. They even offered coffee, tea and snacks and refillable filtered drinking water. So close to the bus station and all sorts of restaurants and street markets. I didn't use it, but they offered laundry on site.

    The rooms are very small. On another note, it is not allowed to use shoes within the hostel, and I understand it's a Thai cultural habit which I fully respect. However if I were the hostel owner I would either inform guests previously (by making it very clear on the Booking description) or give the guests the possibility of using their own flip flops inside the facilities. Again, one wants to respect the culture of the country they're visiting, but everybody has their own personal hygiene standards, and we are paying for an accomodation, it is not free.

    The staff is delightful, very kind and always smiling and ready to help. The facilities are clean enough, considering it is a hostel. The location is great, right next to the bus station and the night market.

    Reception closes at 17 and you and your luggage have to leave by that time. Important to know if you’re planning to leave late from Chiang Rai.

    I saw a few ants in the room, but it was wildly clean outside of that.

    This was such a cute hostel. The woman who runs it is amazing. She was happy to wait for me even though I was only able to arrive hours after the check-in time was over. I saw her doing this for another as well. She's very sweet, cares a lot about the place as well as her guests. She provides a coffee/tea/snack station for the guests which was so lovely.

    The shower is in the same cubicle as the toilet which is a bit unpractical as everything gets wet. Hot water does run out on occasion if you’re unlucky.

    Lively little hostel located a few steps from the bus station. Very clean and nice and spacious dorm as well as kitchen area. Many nice little extra touches such as free snacks, flip flops for the shower room etc. the owners have really taken care to make it a comfortable space. It’s not really social so not a place to meet lots of people but if you’re looking for a cheap and very nice place to sleep it’s excellent
