We stayed here for four nights and highly recommend it. This hostel, newly opened in Chiang Mai, is run by an incredibly helpful team who provided us with valuable tips to make the most of our visit. They recommended the best tours, restaurants, and laundry services. The Harry Potter–themed décor is fantastic, and both the cleanliness and friendliness of the staff are outstanding. We strongly suggest everyone stop by—you won’t regret it!

Very friendly place. The ladies are so kind and they really care about every single guest. Breakfast is amazing and always fresh when you want it. The location is perfect, in a quiet part of the Old Town but great especially for the Sunday Night Market. The room is clean and the lockers are designed perfectly, so I had more than enough space for my belongings. Showers and toilets are always very clean. They organize a lot of activities like day trips and always try to include as many people as possible, so you can meet lots of cool people that way. They also have a washing machine and a dryer, so I didn’t have to worry about that.

This is a little gem of a place. The relaxed friendly welcome instantly made me feel at home. The place itself is an interesting mixture of traditional wood and clean modern facilities. Will stay here again next time I'm passing through Chiang Mai. 20 minutes' walk from the main bus station. Tip: If you're looking for it on Grab it comes up as Allred Cafe.

Comfort Zone Hostel is in the perfect location. It is off the Tha Phae Street but close enough to walk down to the old city and go temple hopping. There is a 7Eleven less than 40 metres from the hostel plus accessible ATMs. George & Kim (the owners) are such lovely welcoming people and so accommodating. I originally booked for 3 nights and ended up staying for 14 days. The maid (I’m so sorry I didn’t learn her name), is so sweet and works really hard to keep the hostel spotless & make people feel welcome. If I’m ever back in Chiang Mai (which is highly likely), I’ll definitely stay at Comfort Zone again.

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 staff and the Hostel. Warm and welcoming, clean and modern. I kept extending my stay and stayed for almost two weeks. The ladies that work there and the owner are super helpful and friendly and ready to help with anything. Free filter water and coffee and tea, they have a fridge and microwave you can use and you can do your laundry and use the tumbledryer for cheap. Great mobile coffee van right around the corner. Sunday night street market right behind them. Safe to walk around at night.

Great location, small social yet quiet no party hostel, met lovely people here. Very good value for money, good aircon, clean, clean bathroom and bedding, very pleasant atmosphere and common area to relax, study, read, work..very helpful and kind hosts. There is a small spa just at the corner run by a sweet lady who also does laundry at a very good price, very convenient. Felt very safe here and slept really well in the female dorm. Locker keys and fresh towel are provided at 300 Baht deposit. I’ll be back.
