Backpack Hostel

Location is great and it’s good for a short stay. They provide free snacks and coffee everyday and staff was really friendly!

The couple who run it were lovely!! They really helped us with the slow boat and the banana bread was so yum!! It was just really quiet when we went so hard to judge for social vibe

Great hostel for organising your passage to Laos, host was so nice

Great hostel overall and staff were super helpful!!! Only complaint is the lack of a free water refill, but otherwise great!

best hostel owner I encountert yet on my travels! taught me a lot about thai culture and his views on society. can only recommand staying there!

the owner was super helpful and nice actually seemed like he cared and wanted to talk to you and help you with anything you needed sorted. super friendly place would highly recommend if you’re in chang rai

Great hostel with great staff in a great location. You can book the slowboat to Luang Prabang with hostel pickup for a fair price, and the owner takes his time to explain how it all works to you so you know what to expect. You can also book a sightseeing tour and there's lots of information at the front desk if you want to go explore in your own! The owner and the cleaning lady are super friendly and helpful, the hostel has a great vibe, and I found it to be very social!

Lovely staff!! Helped us with the slow boat and the home made cookies were amazing. Good rooms and facilities too

the lady running it is so lovely and accommodating and property is very clean! not the most social but we didn’t stay for long so hard to tell

Loveliest owner that sorted everything for my slow boat ride the following day

Not a social hostel but I loved everything else. Super clean, comfiest hostel bed I’ve slept on. The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming, she baked goods for the guests everyday as well.

Amazing hostel! The owner was so friendly and super helpful with recommendations and helped us find a head torch for the gibbon experience. The hostel is very clean, beds are comfy, and AC and Wifi were really good too. Great location next to the bus station and night bazaar, and it had a lovely rooftop too where you can relax and watch the sunset. Highly recommend!!

Okay hostel. Vibes weren’t amazing and not very social. The roof top was empty whenever I went up there. They didn’t have soap in the bathroom for the whole time I was there. Had a twin room which had an awful smell. Booked the slow boat with them and they were very helpful staff

Decent hostel, great location by the bus station. Very friendly staff who were super helpful about booking with the slow boat.

This was a great hostel! We also booked our slow boat through this hostel and they helped us so much with the process & the visa application. Would recommend

Amazing. Staff were lovely and so accommodating. Such a nice environment to chill but also areas to socialise if that’s what you want. Dorms are spacious with large single beds which is a plus!

It was a great value and location, close to the night market. Staff were very helpful throughout my stay.

Absolutely loved my stay here, it was super clean and I felt very secure there. The two ladies running this hostel were the sweetest people ever and really looked after me during my stay, even offering to drive me to the doctor when I became unwell. The only thing I’d change / update is adding lockers into the rooms.

I had such a wonderful time in this hostel. Beds are comfortable, market is close, free cake and coffee and tea every day and Som and Apple are so lovely. Helped me organise the whole Luang Prabang boat and I don’t have to do anything, organised my tours and when I lost my debit card they did everything I could and more to help me sort it out. Eternally grateful and would without a doubt come back and recommend. Thank you so much for everything!!!

We loved the staff at this hostel, two really lovely ladies! And the banana bread in the morning was a major bonus :)
