Everything! Such a nice, fancy & comfy stay. The place is too clean. They have all basic facilities which are in good condition. They arrange package tours. They also provide complimentary breakfast. Price is good for all the facilities and compliments they provide. Location wise bit far from Main city, but city is good place to walk around on your own, so no worries.

Clean, breakfast included, comfortable bed, kitchen available. Staff seemed really helpful. We only stayed one night as we were passing through, but had we had more time we could've easily stayed here longer.

The staff, especially the receptionist/manager are super-friendly yet very professional. The location of the hotel right in the city centre is a real plus. The room was really clean, bright, functional and well-decorated. Exceptionally good value for money.

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 :)
