Hostel was amazing, the couches were very comfortable and there were beautiful posters on the walls. Satang and Cookie were amazing hosts. Everything was so organized and they were very nice welcoming and made you feel at home. There’s a projector up in a loft where you can watch Netflix, I was going to watch the “Roast of Tom Brady” but went out instead. Once again, the staff created such a nice atmosphere. We played board games with other visitors in the evening. The bed was comfy and I found the dorm to be surprisingly spacious compared to other hostels I’ve stayed in. Music was great, artwork, furniture, books. Everything you could ask for really.

The cabin has an amazing atmosphere. Chilled great people. Quiet when you need quiet time but also fun when you all hang out. Cookie was amazing and does amazing work at the cabin. She is honest and a great person to interact with. Nay was a little ray of sunshine, she can make you smile no matter what. Satan makes the best coffees and is warm and welcoming. The owners cake and rich have done great with the place I can’t wait to see what they do in the future!

The 6 dorm room is very spacious and clean. The ensuite bathroom was very comfortable and clean. the staff is the best part of the hostel, particularly Ney that gave me many advices about available tours and close by tourist attractions. The position is perfect, 100m away from the old city. In few minutes you can reach walking most of the old city area, so it's a perfect location if you want to explore the old town by feet or if you are willing to rent a scooter for the day but move by feet or take taxis during the night.

Very friendly staff, clean hostel, nice comy beds, very nice outside area to sit and work, good location, wifi is working all the time, sometimes in the evening we had events like game nights, all in all it was just a very nice vibe and i felt like home. Just one thing: if you want to meet people and socialize this hostel is okay but maybe others are better. I mean there were many people but everyone seemed to do things on their own. When they organize Hostel nights then you can meet people. And also the staff tried to connect us together which was very nice. So if you want to have a chill, clean experience or do remote work, this is perfect.

Loved the stay there. Friendly staff, clean facilitys, good to meet other travellers. Offer many things like food, drinks, little events, tours to sticky waterfalls, laundry service, etc. Highly recommend this place and surely come back some time. Went there solo and met many new lovely people there. Thanks to @cookie and @ney for all the helpful information they gave us and made the stay even better.

I was looking for a sociable hostel that wasn’t too much of a party hostel and this was exactly that. Great bar and outdoor area to chill throughout the day and evening as well as it being on a busy road of bars. The staff are super kind and friendly and they organise free events most days which was a good way to meet people. I met some great people here and ended up extending my stay :)

Nothing, all good :)

The staff here are absolutely amazing, location is great. Not too far from the party scene in chiang mai and close to other busy hostels. I have now stayed here twice prior to travelling to pai and after pai too. I came back to the hostel on my birthday where the staff came out with a cake and sang happy birthday. This was a really nice touch for me and would definitely be staying here if I’m ever in chiang mai again. The fact that some of beds are pods rather than bunk beds is a nice choice too. Thankyou for a wonderful stay cabin hostel

It’s such a beautiful and chilled out hostel ! The beds are comfy with lights and charging points. ACs work well. But what makes it amazing is the super amazing and lovely staff (all the day shift and morning shift staff) who are all there dedicated to making you have a lovely time at the chilled out hostel. It’s quite close to lots of bars and other more party hostels if you would like to go out out. But I would highly recommend you stay here at this more chilled out hostel

Nothing really. Maybe they can improve their showers a bit more but they seemed to work and was decent enough for a hostel !

Very friendly staff, really helpful and sociable. Decent sized beds and a good social area at the front of the hostel, plenty of bars surrounding. Good location to the old town and chinatown - especially loved Ney Neys Sunday market food tour <3

Beds were very squeaky so it was hard to move around and not disturb other guests
