This stay was wonderful! The staff was so friendly, helpful and informative. The facilities were stocked, clean and well thought out. The cleaning of the common areas and rooms was daily and spotless! They had a fully stocked kitchen area, including a refrigerator and microwave, to make some simple meals or bring food back with you. They even offered coffee, tea and snacks and refillable filtered drinking water. So close to the bus station and all sorts of restaurants and street markets. I didn't use it, but they offered laundry on site.

There is truly not much that I didn't like about this hostel. If I were being extremely picky, I could say that the location to the street market could be heard in the night but quieted down at a reasonable hour like most of Thailand. But the close vicinity made experiencing the street market simple and getting delicious food close to home.

Everything! The hostel is so neat and tidy and has a really nice rooftop where you can hang your clothes from washing at the machine which you just pay 20 baht plus 10 baht for soap powder. The smoking corner is on the rooftop. Beats anywhere else! They have a first aid kit stocked with bandages, gauze and antiseptic wash and ibruprofen, charcoal tablets etc. There are multiple areas for lounging and it is very comfortable and cozy. Location is excellent. 100 meters from the bus station and daily night market and 7-11 is directly opposite the bus station about a 3 minute walk. Plenty of food options, watsons and boots pharmacy and massage places for 200/250 baht an hour. There are pubs and cafes at affordable prices too. Privacy curtains for the bunk beds and a huge storage locker which you need to have your own lock. The staff took out my washed laundry when I did it at 2:30am and hung it out to dry first thing in the morning when I woke up at 8:45am to take it myself.

Not the most social place. One lady wanted to sleep in 30-35c heat in the room and wasn't too nice about it when I said to move it down to something reasonably cool as it is very hot inside the room

The staff is delightful, very kind and always smiling and ready to help. The facilities are clean enough, considering it is a hostel. The location is great, right next to the bus station and the night market.

The rooms are very small. On another note, it is not allowed to use shoes within the hostel, and I understand it's a Thai cultural habit which I fully respect. However if I were the hostel owner I would either inform guests previously (by making it very clear on the Booking description) or give the guests the possibility of using their own flip flops inside the facilities. Again, one wants to respect the culture of the country they're visiting, but everybody has their own personal hygiene standards, and we are paying for an accomodation, it is not free.

The location was perfect- a 3 or so minute walk from the bus station and a couple minute walk to the night market. The woman who runs it was very nice and helpful. Also the hostel has a half day sightseeing excursion with a driver for 500 baht which takes you to White temple, blue temple, Lolita cafe and the Big Buddha- great value if you only want to see the temples and don’t want to do the long full day excursions online that go to Golden Triangle as well. Property was very clean, rooms and lockers were spacious, and overall was a great stay.

It has washer, but no dryer and every time I went to try and use the washer it was in use. I found a laundromat a ten minute walk from the hostel so it wasn’t a big deal.

The staff is super friendly. There is a spacious common kitchen with tea/coffee/snacks. The beds are comfortable and enough privacy. There is a washing machine and hanging space on the rooftop. The rooftop is also nice to sit and chill. The hostel is conveniently located right next to the bus station, the night market, etc.

The showers are tiny with toilet inside, and there is no ventilation so it's super hot and humid. Showers are outside the bedroom. There is no breakfast. There is a continuous high-pitched loud sound non-stop in the room, so it's very disturbing to sleep.

Lively little hostel located a few steps from the bus station. Very clean and nice and spacious dorm as well as kitchen area. Many nice little extra touches such as free snacks, flip flops for the shower room etc. the owners have really taken care to make it a comfortable space. It’s not really social so not a place to meet lots of people but if you’re looking for a cheap and very nice place to sleep it’s excellent

The shower is in the same cubicle as the toilet which is a bit unpractical as everything gets wet. Hot water does run out on occasion if you’re unlucky.

It was very quiet, and I was alone in the female dorm for 2 nights! Lockers are provided (you need to bring your own padlock) and big enough for a big backpack. The bed was comfortable and the room very bright with natural light. You get a towel as well. The reception was veeery kind. It's a one minute walk from the bus terminal and the night market. Snacks, a water filling station, tea and coffee are provided.

Water pressure in the showers is very weak, not ideal to wash long hair. Reception is only open until 5 or 6pm, so if you want to come late without any booking, you can't. It's a bit dark in the bathroom, more light would be appreciated:)

I loved this hostel! One of the best hostels so far. The workers are very friendly. They recommended many paces in Chiang Rai to visit and even send the list with google maps links on WhatsApp. They helped to book Muay Thai and yoga classes, booked the trip around the city for me. Very open and talkative! If I would stay in Chiang Rai longer or once again, I would definitely stay here! They look after the cleanliness very diligently, have a very comfortable common area, and even have free snacks for everyoneðŸĨđâĪïļ A few comments from me: If the water pressure in the shower would be stronger, that would be great If the the bed would be softer, that would be great, now it’s a typical Asian style bed😄 Also, the location is perfect! Like 5 sec from bus station, same to night market that works every evening, 2 min walk to 7/11, and 15 min by car to the airport.

Great value for the money. My room was clean and the bed was comfortable. It is a 2 min walk from the bus station and a 2 min walk to the lively night market (I could literally see if from my window). It is still quiet even though it's right near the market and station. The common areas and bathrooms were also clean. There was a full size fridge in the kitchenette area with a microwave and the hostel provided hot and cold water for coffee or to refill your water bottle. It also had a washing machine to clean your clothes; you can then hang them to dry on a line on their rooftop area. The woman who works there was so helpful and was probably the kindest, sweetest person I've met in all of my travels throughout Thailand. I definitely recommend this place.

nothing. It was perfect for my needs.

Fon from the front desk was so attentive! Very clean hostel, and we loved the free snacks. We loved the location - right near the bus stop and the Chang Rai Night Bazaar - but we didn't hear any noise!

The mattress was very hard but we like firm beds so it wasn't too bad. If you like soft beds, you might struggle! We stayed in a private room, so I'm not sure if it'd be the same for dorm beds. The common rooms of the hostel got very hot which was a shame because we didn't really get a chance to enjoy the cute spaces - but its a heat wave at 42 degrees so I don't think that could've been avoided.
