- Qiushuo (9/5): - 地理位置很好,在古城边上方便打车也方便步行进古城或者去瓦洛洛市场等周边景点。厕所一直都非常干净,没有异味。 唯一我觉得不太舒服的是床,稍微有点硬而且翻身的时候会吱吱响
- David (9/5): -
- Viviane (8/5): Muito bom - Hostel super limpo e confortável Unico ponto negativo no hostel é se você quiser interagir com outros hospedes
- Teresa Maria (10/5): -
- Nahyeon (10/5): Best hostel I’ve ever stayed in my life! I’m definitely staying here again next time - Friendly kind staffs, convenience, cleanness right next to the big road, so kind of noisy for a light sleeper

- Victor (7/5): Really nice if you don't mind the heat in the common areas. - Pretty clean and spacious. Alright location, friendly staff, pretty big locked cubby for storage, common area is spacious enough to pack/unpack right outside the dorm. Common area and bathroom area are not air conditioned. Coming out of the shower I'm already breaking a sweat.
- karin (8/5): - The beds in the mix dorm felt quite hard - so this time did not sleep that well unfortunately
I usually sleep in female dorm and do not remember feeling the same hardness

- Eve (9/5): Awesome perfect hostel - It’s clean, the aircon is great and comfortable, beds are good with below bed drawers that lock, bathroom and showers and good and staff are super kind. Not necessarily about the property but just as an fyi it’s not a very social hostel I tried to speak to people but most didn’t want to introduce themselves.

- José Luis (9/5): -
- Jo (7/5): Blue Themed Hostel - Hostel is okay, and i think most of the reviews here are for the private rooms.
Stayed in the female dorm, bed space is good. Room is narrow thou.
Just a heads up aircon is turned off from 11am till 3pm. There's not enough space to leave your stuff in the room and the bathroom.
Shared space is dark, narrow and not well ventilated and aircon is turned off in the middle of the day.
- Camara (10/5): Cute & chic hostel stay close to old town - Had a great and comfortable stay. Capella is super friendly and helpful. I arrived past check-in time at 2am and she made the process so effortless via phone call. I very much appreciated the on-suite bathroom and wash machine.
- Sarun (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jane (10/5): Exceptional - This is a beautiful boutique hostel situated right in the old town. The location was amazing, so close to lovely cafes, the street where the sunday night market sets up and everything else you could want. The owner was so lovely she was so helpful and kind to us during our stay. We booked the 4 bed dorm and it was so spacious, way more so than the average dorm and the beds were very comfortable. The property was so clean and it was so convenient that they had a washing machine and drying racks so you could do your own laundry. There’s also a lovely cafe downstairs.
- Jerminj (8/5): Very good - Clean room, great balcony. Even the public bathrooms are clean and have washing machines, which is very convenient. But the windows are not soundproof and it is a little noisy
- Mohammad (8/5): Very good -
- Taylor (8/5): Very good -
- Danai (10/5): Beautiful hostel and cafe for work and play in Chiang Mai - Very stylish hostel with big comfy beds and drawer for your stuff.
Loved the little balcony overlooking the moat and the temple across the road.
The washing machine was very handy and the bathrooms super-clean.
Loved having the cafe downstairs and the WiFi was perfect for work. Everything was within walking distance.
I forgot my boots there and they were extremely nice and ent them to me the next day. Thank you! Can’t think of anything!
- Emily (9/5): Superb -
- Joachim (9/5): Superb - Great place, clean, very nicely furnished, and being able to use a washing machine (30 baht) and a drying rack was great. Awesome and very helpful staff.
- Klaudia (10/5): Great stay in Chiang Mai - Great place to stay in Chiang Mai - great ambient and location, very clean. Super nice staff, really good communication, help with whatever you may need during your stay. Private room has really good size, big quite comfortable bed. Shared bathroom are clan, you have access to a small kitchen I'd definitely stay again
- Jumoye (10/5): Exceptional - Clean, large bunks, nice atmosphere with a lovely cafe on the ground floor. Lovely and helpful staff too!
- Anne (10/5): Perfect Chiang Mai stay! - I loved this hostel stay. The owners (sisters) and their assistant were all lovely, helpful, and responsive to any needs. It was quiet but the other guests were all friendly, and my room was incredibly clean. The hostel was bright and sunny, which was great. Highly recommend! Nothing!
- Lisa-marie (8/5): Comfortable hostel bed in good location and with kind staff - Very friendly staff, late check-in easy possible via phone call, comfortable beds and good location. The dorm room had the bathroom in the same room, which was very convenient.
- דינה (10/5): Exceptional - The place is neat and very welcoming. The coffee hose design one of the more elegant and inviting I saw. The owners is very welcoming and ready to help. All if comfy and in excellent condition!
- Youness (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sorcha (9/5): Superb -
- Alex (8/5): Very good -
- Daniel (7/5): Good - Nice staff, clean room Thought it lacked some soul. The place looks great in photos but you can find more enjoyable places to stay
- Lea (10/5): Super comfy & chill hostel - I absolutely loved my stay here. Initially I booked only 3 nights and ended up staying for 2 weeks. The beds are the most comfortable I've had during my whole trip in Thailand, the staff is super friendly and helpful.
Even though it isn't a super social hostel I met lots of people. Location is perfect, you can walk everywhere in the old city. I'll defs be back! nothing
- Raido (10/5): Nice place on the edge of old town with lot of cafes close by - Very clean hostel, friendly staff, comfortable beds
- Hafsa (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing staff, clean, calm and great location. Comfortable beds, USB charger, bed lights and curtains. Plus a water bottle was offered every day and a towel. I was finally able to get some rest after all days I spent in terrible hostels. I loved this place i would come back again and again ! Not a social hostel but that's okay if you are looking to chill and relax, which was my case!
- Charmain (10/5): Bright modern hostel/cafe inside the old city. Walking distance to many places within Chiang Mai. - The location, the decor, the seating areas both inside and out. The cafe with all the drink options so beautifully presented. Shower rooms on 3 levels with shampoo and shower gel. Washing machine to do my own laundry. I stayed in a female only room with 8 beds. It felt spacious and plenty of locker space and a desk if you needed to use it. Nearly forgot wifi! No comment here. Loved everything!
- Niklaz (10/5): Exceptional - Sweet workers and people there and nice bed
- Isabella (10/5): Loveliest hostel in Chiang Mai! - The dormitories are bright and spacious and it’s nice to have a desk with a mirror as well as a hairdryer in every room.
The beds are large, comfortable and spacious enough that you don’t feel claustrophobic at all.
The bathroom’s big and always kept clean as well as the communal areas.
Location was perfect to easily get around Chiang Mai with lots of nice restaurants and cafes nearby.
A special mention to the two ladies who work there (I’m so sorry I can’t spell your names!!🙏🏻): they were lovely from the beginning, but on my last day I got quite unwell and they took such great care of me, even drove me to the hospital and checked on me later on, for which I am very grateful!
I stayed in different hostels and hotels in Chiang Mai but I would definitely come back here if I ever find myself in Chiang Mai again! Perhaps a shower curtain could help avoid the bathroom getting quite messy if you’re not careful when showering!
- Andrea (10/5): Amazing stay! - Waaaaau! One of the best hostels i ever stayed! So clean, comfy and beautiful! Nothing
- Maayan (10/5): Exceptional -

- Nadia (10/5): 10/10 stay - Very clean, great coffee and a great nights sleep! Owner and staff are really lovely and go above and beyond. Would 100% recommend in a great location too.
- Elizabeth (10/5): Beautiful modern hostel - This was the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in! Very modern, clean and smells great. The owner was very kind and welcoming I would definitely come back to stay. Thank you so much ♥️ Nothing, everything was perfect
- Rory (9/5): Superb -
- Stephen (9/5): Exceptional hostel with coffee to match - An exceptional hostel with a cafe serving outstanding coffee as an added bonus. Staff are lovely, and the curtained “pods” really comfortable and providing a degree of privacy not often found in hostels. Only room for improvement would be the shower room which was a little small, and had no shelf on which to rest your toiletries bag, and too few hooks for clothes and your towel.
- Kristina (10/5): Exceptional - The owners are super friendly, very comfortable beds, clean, perfect location in old town to visit the different temples, night markets, & cafes; very quiet at night, warm showers, great wifi :) I ended up extending my stay here since I liked it so much! There isn’t any wet/dry separation in the dorm bathroom so if someone showers and they aren’t careful, the entire bathroom floor and toilet get wet
- Sydney (9/5): Superb -
- ❤blackpinkpanther❤ (9/5): Convenient location - The girls' room has a large bathroom and bed There is a lot of hair on the ground
- Patchara (10/5): happy , peaceful stay - the decorations and the owner.

- Georgette (10/5): Great location - Great location, really close to a food market, and nice bars. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Room was very clean, shower and aircon both good.

Also the cafe downstairs is lovely and she makes such yummy drinks!
- Aidan (8/5): Very good - Very clean, nice staff, dorm rooms looked clean too (we had a private). Deck overlooked the moat. Everything's walking distance. Pretty good price. AC was strong. Huge room, nice to have a little desk area. Shower wasn't super clean and the drain was clogged so the water started to fill up. No towel given since we booked online, which is weird. Noise coming in from road but it wasn't terrible, just engine sounds.
- Anonymous (9/5): Superb -
- Hong (10/5): Exceptional -
- Hong (10/5): Exceptional -
- William (10/5): The stay was ideal for my trip. The hostel provided a clean, safe and relaxing place to stay with excellent added extras - The property was very clean and had a good shower. Furthermore the property has a cafe on the ground floor which I used everyday, I would visit this cafe even if I was not a guest as it is excellent value for money and great quality! I honestly can not think of an area for improvement! The staff were very helpful and you really do get a great deal in comparison to how much you spend.
