Best Hostel in Chiang Mai. Ton at the Reception is the friendliest Man I have ever met in Thailand. He has helped me choose the best tours & Restaurants near Chiang Mai and even booked my flight to Hanoi Vietnam! Highly recommend this Hostel to everyone that wants a quiet little corner in Chiang Mai

Il proprietario è gentilissimo disponibile e può darti tanti consigli su tutta la città, e non solo. La struttura è piccola, ma pulita, piccoli gli spazi comuni ma il proprio letto ha lo spazio necessario per tutto.

The front desk receptionist Tong was absolutely incredible, with great enthusiasm, reccomendation and kindness, even checking on me days after I had left. Cleanliness was ideal a the facilities were nice, all the people staying were friendly and the activities available were super fun! Tong made the visit, awesome guy!

Worth staying at just for the owner, easily the best from anywhere I’ve stayed. Very knowledgeable about the whole area, and super helpful and friendly.

I loved my stay here! Ton says his goal is to make the hostel feel like a home and he does just that. This is NOT a party hostel but it has a relaxed social vibe. I met some great people here! You can book all tours with Ton and get a good discount, he also makes you breakfast every morning. Loved this one!

AMAZING staff, he helps you with everything, no matter if it’s a tour (you get a discount), recommendations or local spots. Such a loving vibe, makes you feel like family. Hostel has a really good location, very chill vibe, clean, comfortable beds. Bike rental. Even free breakfast if you want.

I have stayed there for a week, and I have to say it was the best hostel owner I have ever met. He is a licensed guide, and my trip to Chiang Mai would not have been the same if I hadn’t met him. He gave me tips on what activities to do, gave me discounts on tours, and even planned full day trips for me to do on a scooter for free — a scooter that I rented from the hostel, by the way. I would definitely recommend👍. Only con is that during the day the place gets very hot.

I would recommend this property to anyone travelling to Chiang Mai! Ton is super helpful for planning activities and he is very welcoming - always checking in to make sure you’re doing well and to see if you need any help. He is even gave me recommendations for when I went to Koh Samui. The only downside to this property is the bathrooms could be cleaner.

I had a really lovely stay! The owner and his brother a both super sweet, help out with everything and give a lot of recommendations on what to do. Not having bunk beds was really nice for me and the showers and toilets get cleaned every morning! Just a really nice atmosphere overall. Only people I would not recommend it to are people that are looking for a party hostel

Couldn’t recommend this place enough. Not a huge party scene but still social with nice common areas. The owner, Ton, is extremely accommodating and welcoming. He is incredibly knowledgeable about Chiang Mai and will gladly point you in the right direction for whatever you’re looking for. Easily my favourite hostel I’ve been to so far.

My partner and I stayed for three nights. The owner, Ton, is amazing, he has the best recommendations on what to do and discounts for guests on tours and activities. Ton made our whole stay so pleasant. Will definitely be staying here again if/when I come back to Chiang Mai. The hostel was quiet but people were still friendly and sociable. Breakfast being included was a huge win too. And the location was unbeatable!

This was one of my absolute favourite hostels. The recommendations were actually so so good. All restaurants that Tun recommended were delicious and did brilliant and cheap food. The activities and bars recommended were also so good. He helped us with all our tours that we wanted to do whilst also giving us lots of information to make sure we chose the correct one. Overall a brilliant hostel and would 100% stay again 😁

I had a great stay at Smile Robotist Hostel in Chiang Mai. The hostel is very clean and comfortable. The location is perfect, with easy access to the Old City and local markets. What really makes the difference is Ton, who runs the hostel, he is incredibly kind and knowledgeable about Chiang Mai and eager to help. He can recommend great places to visit and eat, and he organizes transport to destinations like Chiang Rai and Pai, as well as various activities. I strongly recommend this hostel.

Smile robotist is a nice central hostel in Chiang Mai with comfy beds and nice people. Ton is an amazing host who has recommendations for whatever it is you want to go do. Not only for Chiang Mai, but also many other cities in Thailand. He gives you multiple options in a nice and clear Excel sheet and helps you get a discount. Ton has helped me out with recommendations even weeks after my stay at his hostel. Couldnt recommend it more!
