Mapping Hostel

Good

Furniture

The staff was very friendly, and the sleeping outside was a unique experience. Like camping. And I love camping. P.S. The pillows were great.

Unfortunately, this place could be a hidden gem but it is not. There are obviously a handful of people who are living here full time that don't respect basic backpacker etiquette. Example being, the evening/nights are the loudest part of the day. People playing music or on the phone in the sleeping area. There is also some kind of generator that kicks on a lot in the evening and morning, our sleeps were super broken. P.S. The bed was super hard.

The bungalow is cozy and comfortable with a mosquito net all around. At the entrance of the hostel there is hot water to drink 24h. The place is very quiet during the day, way quieter than the night actually.

The place could be kept WAY better. There is a toilette with broken tiles and a great collection of spiderwebs. The riverside maybe was beautiful once but now is just poorly maintained. The worst part is that is very hard to have a good sleep. Some fans over the bungalow creak when they move, there's a boiler just behind the bungalows that turns on every time someone uses a sink or a shower, and the communal area on the riverside is a few steps away from the bungalows sleeping area, so if someone stays up chatting throughout the night it's like having them beside you. If you are a traveller that has to go to sleep and wake up early for tours and activities around Chiang Mai I definitely don't recommend this hostel.

I like the community atmosphere, the openness of the common area, the view of the river, free water and coffee in the morning.

The wifi didn’t work, charging devices was challenging.
