The hostel has a good location, the bed is comfy but it is in a wooden pod that became a oven with the heat, and it doesn't help that the staff turn off the AC at certain times and reduces the power at night

It’s okay for a night or 2 but if you’re looking for social, this isn’t the place. Clean and good beds though

Over all good hostel. Facilities are clean, bed with curtains and little balcony to dry clothes. Also small breakfast (toast and fruits) and free drinking water. Wouldn’t recommend if you are looking for a social hostel. It’s very quiet and not very social. Location is good tho. You are directly at the entrance to the old town and they also offer tours.

Had all the basic facilities, and was all clean and good. Location was a bit out of the way surrounded by busy roads. Not a social hostel at all, and found the staff rather unhelpful at times. Also note that they try and push you to do specific tours if you ask for reccomendations, but we found that these were often worse/ far less ethical than alternatives.

This hostel is okay if you are looking for somewhere to only sleep. I was traveling solo and no atmosphere and also no communal area. There is some seating outside the front but is hardly used, not very inviting. Shared bathrooms were fine and clean. Staff were lovely but wouldn't stay here again as a solo traveller.

I really wanted to love my stay here BUT be warned, the beds are very thin and hard. I felt like I was sleeping on the floor, so unfortunately I didn’t sleep for the 3 nights I was there. But if that doesn’t bother you then it’s lovely! Great staff and nice and clean.

El alojamiento está muy bien, las chicas muy amables. A veces por mucho que limpien está un poco sucio. AC apagado de 12h a 15h.

Translated to English

The accommodation is very good, the girls are very nice sometimes no matter how much they clean it is a little dirty air conditioning off from 12 to 3 pm.

There wasn’t much wrong with this place but not much right either! Absolute bare bones bare minimum it was totally fine and I’d stay again if I needed to for like a night, but I wouldn’t book again long term. Not really any atmosphere or social aspect, a lot older of a hostel crowd. The inside bedrooms and showers very clean, the outside of the building was meh.

Clean hostel, not social at all. Easy walking distance into the old city. On the morning of checkout the cleaning staff asked me to checkout at 10:30 but checkout is up till 12pm. So I had to throw everything in my bag quickly and unorganized and had to repack properly outside.

Great value for money. Hostel at a convenient location. Rooms were clean and spacious, beds were comfy and aircons were on often. Free breakfast was a nice touch. Reception was very welcoming and place felt secure, key card access and spacious lockers. Showers were often cold but didn’t mind after a long day. Not very social. Would stay again

Rooms were fab, aircon on constantly. Very clean especially the bathrooms and showers which had a very high water pressure. No shoes allowed inside. Wifi was slow at times, especially when I’m outside seating area, but other than that no complaints!

It's a lovely hostel with comfy beds and very affordable price. Located near the busy road, I wish there would some quiet garden inside.

Cet hostel était très propre et très agréable, le petit déjeuner est proposé le matin et c’est vraiment un plus ! Les dortoirs sont propres et chacun a son intimité dans sa petite capsule où se trouve le lit. Les sanitaires étaient propres.

This is an amazing hostel. The staff here are great and it’s in a perfect, central location. The breakfast was adequate and the rooms were really spacious. What really tops this hostel was the level of cleanliness. Cannot wait to stay here again. Thanks for having us!

This hostel is great value for money! The rooms are great and the staff works really hard to make sure it's very clean. It's not a very sociable hostel tho! I met a few nice people but it's not really something the hostel caters towards. The common area feels more like a coworking space than a meeting space, but that's handy too if that's what you're looking for.

Very cute, simple hostel. The staff are great and the rooms are clean and modern. Location could not be more perfect. Walking distance from everything you need. This hostel has the best information and bookings for any tour or activity with 10% off! Not a party hostel but lots of travelers to talk to.

Fantastic value for money, would struggle to find any better in Chiang Mai. Clean, comfortable, good location. Barely any social atmosphere and limited facilities but if you're happy with just a place to sleep with good A/C, a great choice.

This was a lovely hostel. Very friendly staff, helpful too. People always cleaning. Free drinks & breakfast was a great benefit, and the ice cold drinking water was lovely! Beds very comfortable and clean communal areas. There’s not much atmosphere socially (like a party hostel would have) but still managed to chat to people in room and outside. Only downside is that on top bunk the curtain falls about 4 inches above mattress, people can see in as they walk passed :/
