Maybe the best hostel I've stayed in to date, friendly, fun and helpful staff, perfect spot to spend Songkran, good community and constant 10/10 atmosphere, great to meet new people and have quiet time too. Really great location and great dorms too

Second time I stayed at the Cabin and I must say it’s defensively one of my favourite hostels I’ll stayed in. It’s a very good place if you want to chill, party and socialise. Perfect location and amazing staff! Thank you for making my experience so good! I will miss you all and I will definitely come back one day. Love Franz

I stayed in the single bed dorm, honestly it was so comfy, it was basically my own private room within a room

Nice, relaxing hostel. Big rooms, and decent happy hour. Moderately social. Bunk beds are a little noisy.

Had a really nice stay! Staff were absolutely amazing and put events on most nights. Wasn’t extremely social but still moderately.

zentral gelegen, sauber. Die Betten sind allerdings sehr instabil, als oben schlafender kippt man fast das Bett um beim hoch klettern. positiv sind die großen Zimmer.

The staff were so lovely but there was only 1 bathroom per dorm room, causing a bit of a line for the bathroom at times!

Great place, get location, attentive staff, allowed you to participate in hostel activities as much or as little as you were comfortable with. Very easy to create a routine here and learn of your favorite spots for food/to meander.

Great location, vibey and clean space. But the hostel lacks atmosphere. For the entire 5 days that I was there, only one in-hostel activity was held and they had nothing arranged for Friday night! The staff is very polite and largely helpful but I did have an incident where a staff member promised me a discount when I was extending my stay but did not inform others and when I came to pay back, he wasn't there and rescinded the offer on the phone. Food is average.

decent location, just outside the old town, they have lots of activities however the elephant sanctuary did feel a bit off so would recommend booking yourself not through them. Social but not party :)
