The cool and full of attentions lady that runs the place. The incredible position. The shower. The price. Lots of plugs and usb plugs everywhere. Super fast wifi. You may think it's noisy because of the super central position. Well, it's not! Even on sunday with the market at it's best.

I came to know about this hostel from a friend that I met during my visit to Krabi. It is one of the best places to stay in Chiang Mai. Especially this place is just like a home because of the kind Owner Mis Sky. I intended to stay there for 2 days but i ended up staying for more than 6 days. She is always eager to help you. And as she is also an owner of the Tour company you will get tours in good prices. Every morning she used to give me Traditional sticky rice with tea :) The place is in old town and there are a lot of Local markets nearby even the Famous "Khao Soy lung prakit kad kom" place is nearby. Overall Its a fantastic Place !!Highly recommended!

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.

    Great location. Bed is comfortable, and if not comfortable, you can ask for different mattress or pillow. Clean bathroom. Large hostel so very social. You can meet a lot of new people from here. Cafe just next to the hostel But I liked the very cheap local breakfast just downstairs of the hostel.

    Easily best hostel I’ve stayed in 2 months of travel. The rooms were very private and a great atmosphere compared to the typical bunk beds. Close enough to the city. Quiet when you wanted some quiet in your room and the daily events were great for mingling without being over the top or party centric. Couldn’t of have had a better time meeting new people and finding travellers to do daily things with.
