In a prime location in the centre of Chiang Mai, Thapae Gate Lodge provides air-conditioned rooms, a garden, free WiFi and a terrace. This property is located a short distance from attractions such as Three Kings Monument, Chiang Mai Night Bazaar, and Chang Puak Gate. The hostel features family rooms. Everything was perfect. The hotel is in an excellent location, in the old town. The owner is very kind. I arrived early, and to make things easier for me, he made some adjustments and allowed me to check in earlier. If there is anything he can do to help you, he will. He also gives great recommendations for nearby places and attractions. The hotel has everything you need: a safe, a hairdryer, an air conditioning system, a TV, and a small balcony. It’s clean, and most importantly, there are no mosquitoes in the room. The staff is amazing.

Guest rooms at the hostel are equipped with a seating area. Each room includes air conditioning and a TV, and certain rooms at Nonoteru Chiangmai have a river view. All units will provide guests with a fridge. I love Nonoteru Hostel very much! This place reimagines the idea of a hostel — it's creative, cozy, and full of charm. The people who stay here are so friendly and fun to be around. I also truly appreciate Khun Pimmy and Queen BB (the hostel staff); they are incredibly warm and supportive. Rest assured, I will definitely return to stay here again!
