The host family was so warm-hearted and welcoming, sharing some snacks sometimes. And as a vegan, I loved breakfast fruits, plus bananas always available in the common area. Perfect location - close to the city center yet not noisy at all. Clean bathroom and nice laundry service from washing to dry for 100 bat.

I chose this host because it was very close to the bus station, but it turned out to be a really cool place to stay. Comfy beds, could choose the one that I liked, easy self check in. Clean showers, nice towels, cosy common area downstairs. Place to keep luggage after check out with locks, and what I really enjoyed was free coffee and snacks. Some hostels would have way less to give and would call it “breakfast”. Made myself a tasty avocado toast in the morning :)

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.

    great location- so central! staff are friendly, we had a private twin room. most comfortable bed we’ve had in Thailand so far. relatively clean- bathrooms could have a good going over but not bad compared to some hostels at all. Cheapest hostel we’ve had so far :)
