Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The best hostel I stayed in during my trip. the design is beautiful, the place is extremely clean, it’s less than a minute from the bus station. The owner and staff were absolutely lovely, trusting and took great care of me. I loved that there are laundry facilities and a cute kitchen and hang out area. I always felt my stuff was safe. Note that there are strict house rules. The hostel also offered some very comprehensive tours of Chiang Mai’s attractions

    Great location near bus station and walking street. Lots of bars and restaurants nearby. Hostel very laidback and has a reggae bar feel to it. No beer sold here but 7/11 round corner. Weed available too. Would recommend. Stopped in dormitory for 3 nights.

    great location- so central! staff are friendly, we had a private twin room. most comfortable bed we’ve had in Thailand so far. relatively clean- bathrooms could have a good going over but not bad compared to some hostels at all. Cheapest hostel we’ve had so far :)
