After a couple of days in central Chiang Mai, Insight Hostel offered me a quiet spot to relax and recharge. The staff is exceptionally friendly, everything is very clean and safe. The nearby university neighborhood provides cheap and creative coffee shops and restaurants.

The only downside for me was the nearby airport. It was quiet during the night -- but you'll definitely hear starting planes in the morning and evening.

I returned twice and stayed at this place for 12 nights. I love it because: + friendly and responsive staff & host (english speaking) + clean toilet, bed & common areas + quiet and relaxing environment surrounded by trees + nice outdoor kitchen and hangout area + a lot of cheap eateries & beverages close by + close to nature activities, e.g. monk's trail, wat umong, etc. + beautiful lightning of the trees at night - bicycle parking point at the venue, so you can rent a bicycle via app

- issues with partly dysfunctional air conditioning and construction work, thus facing temporarily not ususable women's bathroom but they have solved the issue very well and upgraded me to another room for the last 2 nights. thanks! - you can hear some planes departing and landing, but after the last place it is quiet. - wifi not always stable, but works most of the time

+ quiet, peaceful, lots of greenery + clean, spacious & lovely outdoor kitchen & hangout area (homey feeling) + close to chiang mai university eateries & nature activities + clean female dorm & bed + friendly staff (but it was not so easy to catch the service woman and ask questions since did not speak english) + nice relaxing catch up with fellow travelers + available on-site: a) a bicycle rental station (via app) within the hostel b) big meditation room upstairs (but only with very flat sitting pads)

- toilet & shower could be cleaned more often (it has not been cleaned when i arrived but also not during my 5 days stay). - matrice was a bit hard, but okayish for a few days.

Quiet area, clean, comfortable. Had the whole dorm to myself. Let me check out later as I was waiting for a flight.

This place is quiet, clean and in close distance to Chiang Mai University, where you can find lots of decent and cheap restaurant choices. Also, Its neighborhood is full of greenery. Only several companions are living in the dorm, so you won't find to much disturb.

The vertical space of the double-deck bed is too limited. You can't even sit straight on your bed and should always be careful to not hitting your head.

This accommodation is a true gem on the outskirts of Chiang Mai! The charm of the exterior and the tranquility of being at a reasonable tuktuk distance from the city center convinced me entirely! The female dormitory was spacious and quiet! A great find that I wouldn't hesitate to return to if another trip is planned.

I like this hostel Very quiet and good location (don’t know why some people said it’s remote It’s close to a hiking trail and a temple.Cafes and restaurants are nearby plus only 10-min walk there is a big night market with many pharmacy shops grocery stores. It’s also very clean and comfortable. Recommend who wants silent at the same time needs convenience

I wish more guests stay here:)

nice and clean place. There is an area for eating, so cutlery and water is provided.

A little hard to find despite using Google maps. Our thai driver called the property and it turned out to be near a meditation Center. It would be useful to have a signboard near the entrance of the hostel itself. The staff also couldn’t speak English and tried to give us dorm beds despite our booking. Fortunately it was quickly resolved after she called her manager.

Great location, great staff.

There is nothing to complain about, I will just suggest to have a bit more cutlery available in the kitchen.

The value is unbeatable. The location is very quiet and the facilities are well-lit and air conditioned.

There are mosquitos and housekeeping was not on duty during the day.
