    Had a great and comfortable stay. Capella is super friendly and helpful. I arrived past check-in time at 2am and she made the process so effortless via phone call. I very much appreciated the on-suite bathroom and wash machine.

    This is a beautiful boutique hostel situated right in the old town. The location was amazing, so close to lovely cafes, the street where the sunday night market sets up and everything else you could want. The owner was so lovely she was so helpful and kind to us during our stay. We booked the 4 bed dorm and it was so spacious, way more so than the average dorm and the beds were very comfortable. The property was so clean and it was so convenient that they had a washing machine and drying racks so you could do your own laundry. There’s also a lovely cafe downstairs.

    Can’t think of anything!

    Very stylish hostel with big comfy beds and drawer for your stuff. Loved the little balcony overlooking the moat and the temple across the road. The washing machine was very handy and the bathrooms super-clean. Loved having the cafe downstairs and the WiFi was perfect for work. Everything was within walking distance. I forgot my boots there and they were extremely nice and ent them to me the next day. Thank you!

    I loved this hostel stay. The owners (sisters) and their assistant were all lovely, helpful, and responsive to any needs. It was quiet but the other guests were all friendly, and my room was incredibly clean. The hostel was bright and sunny, which was great. Highly recommend!

    I absolutely loved my stay here. Initially I booked only 3 nights and ended up staying for 2 weeks. The beds are the most comfortable I've had during my whole trip in Thailand, the staff is super friendly and helpful. Even though it isn't a super social hostel I met lots of people. Location is perfect, you can walk everywhere in the old city. I'll defs be back!

    Not a social hostel but that's okay if you are looking to chill and relax, which was my case!

    Amazing staff, clean, calm and great location. Comfortable beds, USB charger, bed lights and curtains. Plus a water bottle was offered every day and a towel. I was finally able to get some rest after all days I spent in terrible hostels. I loved this place i would come back again and again !

    No comment here. Loved everything!

    The location, the decor, the seating areas both inside and out. The cafe with all the drink options so beautifully presented. Shower rooms on 3 levels with shampoo and shower gel. Washing machine to do my own laundry. I stayed in a female only room with 8 beds. It felt spacious and plenty of locker space and a desk if you needed to use it. Nearly forgot wifi!

    Perhaps a shower curtain could help avoid the bathroom getting quite messy if you’re not careful when showering!

    The dormitories are bright and spacious and it’s nice to have a desk with a mirror as well as a hairdryer in every room. The beds are large, comfortable and spacious enough that you don’t feel claustrophobic at all. The bathroom’s big and always kept clean as well as the communal areas. Location was perfect to easily get around Chiang Mai with lots of nice restaurants and cafes nearby. A special mention to the two ladies who work there (I’m so sorry I can’t spell your names!!🙏🏻): they were lovely from the beginning, but on my last day I got quite unwell and they took such great care of me, even drove me to the hospital and checked on me later on, for which I am very grateful! I stayed in different hostels and hotels in Chiang Mai but I would definitely come back here if I ever find myself in Chiang Mai again!

    Only room for improvement would be the shower room which was a little small, and had no shelf on which to rest your toiletries bag, and too few hooks for clothes and your towel.

    An exceptional hostel with a cafe serving outstanding coffee as an added bonus. Staff are lovely, and the curtained “pods” really comfortable and providing a degree of privacy not often found in hostels.

    There isn’t any wet/dry separation in the dorm bathroom so if someone showers and they aren’t careful, the entire bathroom floor and toilet get wet

    The owners are super friendly, very comfortable beds, clean, perfect location in old town to visit the different temples, night markets, & cafes; very quiet at night, warm showers, great wifi :) I ended up extending my stay here since I liked it so much!
