It was the quietest hostel so far. And it has a spacious and comfortable common zone. Clean, and visually esthetic. I even changed my plans so I could stay in this hostel .

What a great find! I came across the newly opened Secret Corner boutique hostel in Chiang Rai, - everything is brand new and super clean, + the WiFi is amazing! The dorm rooms are smartly laid out and the beds are v comfortable. The central location makes for easy access to nearby centre bars & restaurants. The other guests were from Asia and the far side of Europe making for some great discussions! Highly recommended.

All hostels in Chiang Rai

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 best hostel I stayed in during my trip. the design is beautiful, the place is extremely clean, it’s less than a minute from the bus station. The owner and staff were absolutely lovely, trusting and took great care of me. I loved that there are laundry facilities and a cute kitchen and hang out area. I always felt my stuff was safe. Note that there are strict house rules. The hostel also offered some very comprehensive tours of Chiang Mai’s attractions

Great location near bus station and walking street. Lots of bars and restaurants nearby. Hostel very laidback and has a reggae bar feel to it. No beer sold here but 7/11 round corner. Weed available too. Would recommend. Stopped in dormitory for 3 nights.
