Doze Hostel

Es war schrecklich, Sie hatten Bettwanzen!!!! Bucht auf keinen Fall!! Bettwanzen, Harte Matratzen, harte Polster, unfreundliches Personal, Mangelhaftes „Badezimmer“, Stinkende Zimmer!!

Private room very spacious with private balcony. Bed was large and comfortable in the private room. Despite the previous reviews about bedbugs we did not experience any problem with this during our stay. Nice little coffee stand with a very nice man outside the hostel door in the mornings. Shower rooms were small and in the same room as toilet so blocked off other peoples use of the toilet when someone was showering. Minor issue albeit

ATTENTION PUNAISES DE LITS !! Problèmes existants depuis plusieurs mois, la propriétaire ne fait rien pour améliorer la situation et pas du tout compréhensive.

In front of the hostel, there is a fresh market every day. Depends on your reference whether you like noises in the early morning or not. I understand that this is a hostel, and I am fully aware of what shared facilities mean. That is exactly why I booked a private room with a shared bathroom, expecting at least basic comfort and cleanliness. First issue: room allocation. I was placed on the 3rd floor with no elevator. This is already inconvenient, but what makes it worse is that in most hostels, shared dorms are usually placed on higher floors, while private rooms are placed on the ground floor or first floor—especially when no elevator is available. This is done to avoid private-room guests having to carry heavy luggage upstairs. At Doze Hostel, it’s arranged the other way around. You pay more, and you drag your luggage higher. Interesting logic. Second issue: cleanliness. After checking in, we inspected the room and found two used tampons under the spring bed (photo attached). We immediately informed the staff. Without hesitation, the staff member simply took a broom and swept them away as if this were completely normal. This is not dust. This is a tampon. One can imagine the overall hygiene standards if something like this is overlooked. We were already tired, and it was getting dark, so we decided to rest and deal with it the next day. Unfortunately, that night turned out to be worse. Third issue: We were bitten by bed bugs the entire night. We woke up almost every hour scratching, and by morning, our bodies were covered in red bite marks. At that point, we had enough. We had originally booked three nights but stayed only one night and immediately moved to another hostel. During checkout, we showed the condition and explained the issue. The staff did not seem concerned. One more thing worth mentioning: if you read the reviews carefully, you’ll notice that the owner or staff tends to respond defensively to criticism rather than using feedback to improve. I expect the same reaction to this review as well.

cheap price and good location unfortunately there were bedbugs in the bed and the mattress was pretty hard

there’s a water station, the two interns on the front are lovely, you can do laundry yourself for 30 baht, no bed bugs as mentioned in many other reviews, good location, can book activities through hostel. •everywhere is EXTREMELY dirty(didn’t see a cleaner once even when i asked if there was one) the pictures are self explanatory. •the laundry area smelt so strong of urine it made my clothes smell and i’ve had to wash them again. •the beds are rock hard and the aircon barely works. •their was no curtains in our room like the pictures. •forced to take shoes off upstairs even though the floors are disgusting (when we asked if we could wear shower shoes inside they said no) •2 common areas bottom floor/ 3d floor neither are inviting or comfy and the 3d floor has a person living in a tent on that’s shushed us for having a conversation at 8pm.

Al principio todo bien: las habitaciones bastante bien, el hostel bien ubicado y la chica de la recepción muy amable. Solo había chinches en una de las dos habitaciones. En nuestra última noche encontramos chinches y cuando pusimos un comentario negativo en google en dueño nos trató de mentirosos (cuando otras personas también se habían quejado en el pasado).

The roof terrace was nice. Staff extremely rude and unprofessional if you have any form of issues, told me that if other didnt have a problem i must be the problem (although other reviews say similar). The problems: LOTS OF BEDBUGS (even after they sprayed, i was covered in bites and found them crawling on me). Curtains barely cover the bed and were all broken. Room is small and very smelly, beds are old and if the person underneath you moves your bed shakes a lot. Matresses old and uncomfortable and they dont even give you a real pillow but a tiny hard leathery cushion. Really dirty, i watched a bunch of dead flies on the bathroom sink for 5 days in a row before they got cleaned (the only bathroom on the floor). They dont provide any basics that all other hostels have like a kettle/hot water or a way to warm up food. But the worst part is their rudeness and straight bullying. I was really overwhelmed and it was having an impact on my sanity, and i wanted to leave earlier than my booking, they told me i couldn't get a refund on the extra days because i booked through booking and thats their policy. I messaged booking to confirm and they basically told me that isnt true and its the hostel policy so they also lied to me. They messaged me privately very aggressively threatening to put me on a ban list, saying i am undeserving of their services and that i am too much and they dont want to deal with people like me (apparently anyone that comunicate not having a good time, even if you re always polite and kind with them). Just avoid them, there is so much better value in chiang mai and so much kinder and lovely people for the same price or less! Some of the negative sides i found would have took minimal effort to fix (like fixing the curtains or putting a real pillow) but the fact they dont do it shows they dont really care of your wellbeing and just want your money.

The location was central to most walkable attractions. Bed bugs, a bit dark, airconditioning had a schedule, balcony was unclean.

You get what you pay for. I didn't have any high expectations, the room was okey as well as the bathrooms. Could be cleaner, and I heard some poeple had bed bugs, but I didn't have that problem myself. I stayed for 4/5 nights. It was quiet and not social, but the staff was friendly. Could have cleaner sheets, rooms and bathrooms. Ac is turned off during the day so not a great place to chill in the room, didn't really have a nice common area. Rooftop would be nice if there were some different chairs and tables....
