Guest Reviews

• Bush (10/5): -
• William (8/5): -
• Marine (10/5): -
• Jéssica (9/5): - Quarto individual grande e aconchegante. Localização boa, dentro da Old City, então perto de vários templos que dá pra fazer a pé. Um pouco distante de uma 7-eleven.
• Maria Cristina (10/5): -
• Patricia (10/5): Hospedagem com a necessária tranquilidade e limpeza do cômodo. - O quarto era impecável, oferecendo o conforto necessário ao descanso, de acordo com o custo-benefício. A anfitriã uma pessoa extremamente atenciosa, empenhada em auxiliar com os passeios e a resolver de forma diplomática todos os acontecimentos. Generosa, amável e super educada.
• Christin (10/5): Felt at home in Chiang Mai - It's a simple, clean hostel, but Koki (the host) makes all the difference. If you ask her for help she goes way beyond what is necessary and she just makes you feel at home. She anticipates needs and will research anything you would want to know. Don't expect parties or social activities, but a quiet place to call your home away from home.
• Valeriia (10/5): great hostel to rest and the best one I’ve been to - - I stayed in female room, super comfortable, clean and quiet - AC worked perfectly - 5 min walk to 7/11, many good food places nearby - woman at reception was really nice, so is the cleaning lady -
• shirleyrap (10/5): - Localização, atendimento, café da manhã (que não estava incluso, mas foi fornecido) A limpeza da parte do chuveiro do quarto feminino. Era bemmmm ruim!
• Danielle (9/5): Fijne verblijf - De locatie is top! Volop leuke en lekkere eettentjes op loopafstand te vinden. De accommodatie zelf heeft een heerlijke rustige sfeer. Het personeel is super vriendelijk, behulpzaam en denkt graag met je mee.
• Georgia (10/5): -
• Maria Paulina (10/5): - Es muy cetral, se puede ir caminando a todas partes

• Katharina (9/5): -
• Chunwei (9/5): - 住宿地點在老城的巷弄中，遠離酒吧和交通大道，適合晚上喜歡安靜休息的旅客。 另外一個值得稱讚的地方是，大型行李必須鎖在2F的置物櫃中，房間則在3F和4F，可以減少旅客在房間中開開關關大型行李所造成的噪音，讓房間成為真正安靜休息的地方。 櫃檯接待人員很友善、健談。 浴室和廁所有點小
• MoiraAyelen (10/5): Best hostel in Chiang Mai - It was my second time at Pakping. I stayed here for 16 nights, and I would definitely choose them again. My first stay was in the female room (2023), but this year I chose to stay in the 10-bed mixed room (cheaper). Bed: Super comfortable, with curtains, a private locker, and drawers. You also get a private locker. (Big enough to hang some clothes and save your bag) AC: Works all the time Bathroom: You get a shared bathroom for females and another one for males. Breakfast: Toast, Cereal, Coffee / Tea, Honey, Milk (Soy Milk too!) Juice, Toasts. Kitchen: Fridge available + Kitchen elements to have all your meals (It's not possible to cook) Location: The best!! Close to everything and at the same time far from the chaos. Atmosphere: Hard to explain, but for some reason, I feel this is a safe place for women. I would describe it as a nice, small hostel for Digital Female Nomads. Wifi works great, desks are available for working, and it is almost always quiet. I was working at that moment, but needed some time to study and I could find the peace and silince I needed. The shared bathroom has only 1 toilet and 2 showers. The toilet is inside one of the showers, so when someone is taking a bath, you need to go downstairs and use the common toilet (Kitchen floor). It is not comfortable when the mix room is occupied mainly by women.
• Nekane (9/5): - I had such a lovely stay at this hostel. What I appreciated the most was how peaceful and calm everything felt, perfect place if you really want to rest. Koki at reception was amazing. She genuinely cares, gives great recommendations, and is always happy to help with anything you need. You can really feel that she wants you to have the best possible experience. I loved how quiet and cool it was inside, a real escape from the heat outside. The beds are very comfortable, so it’s easy to get a good night’s sleep. The hostel is kept incredibly clean. The location is perfect too. Super recommended!!
• KOTA (9/5): ホステル初心者におすすめ！ - 今回だけかもしれないが寝室内が静かで宿泊者のモラルが高かった。 寝室内は清潔で涼しかった。 スタッフが欠かさず挨拶をしてくれて笑顔で対応してくれた。おすすめ観光スポットも教えてもらった。 共用部が1F.ロッカーが2F.寝室が3Fなので移動が多かった。

• Guillaume (10/5): Guests were cold; everything else great - The owner / manager was extremely friendly, accomodating and helpful. The dorms were very comfortable. I found the other guests, with one or two exceptions, were extremely reserved and basically just ignored me. Maybe I'm too fat, old and scary looking? This is something I have experienced in other hostels too, but it was particularly pronounced here. Of course this is not a criticism of the hostel, only a feeling of loneliness (as a solo traveler) and rejection, which is a bit sad. Thankfully the owner / manger lady compensated for this with her warmth, friendliness and hospitality.
• Andrea aus O. (9/5): - Ich habe mich im Pakping-Hostel vom ersten Moment an super wohl gefühlt! Das familiengeführte Hostel ist sehr auf guten Service und Sauberkeit bedacht. Es gibt gratis Wasser und man kann sich in der Küche ein Frühstück zubereiten, wobei es fußläufig viele wunderbare Lokale gibt. Das La Naview bietet sogar ein großzügiges Frühstücksbuffet zum kleinen Preis an - sehr zu empfehlen! Die Lage des Pakping-Hostels in der Altstadt ist top!
• Valentina (9/5): Super Hostel komme gerne wieder - Top Hostel Schließfächer sind auf einem anderen Stockwerk Man darf mit dem Koffer/ Rucksack nicht ins Zimmer
• Eva (10/5): - This place felt like a home away from home, Koki along with the cleaning lady truly try their best to accomodate all their guests' wishes and needs. The hostel is beautifully designed with great attention to detail, spotless clean with cozy communal areas. A very quiet place, yet you always get to meet nice fellow travellers. The location is perfect, right in the very centre of the old town but a little bit hidden in a side street from the noise of the city. If I ever come back to Chiang Mai, I will definitely stay here again!
• Carina (9/5): - Staff were so kind and helpful! Really quite nice place to stay but also close to everything !
• MENGJHIH (8/5): -
• Flavia (10/5): -
• Marion (8/5): très bien - l'accueil était très bien, les espaces partagés, le wifi fonctionne bien. les lits des dortoirs sont trop durs
• alilRnR (10/5): A nice place but because of Koki makes its a amazing stay!! - Koki is the absolute sweetest! Wishing her much blessings to come. The cleaning staff is also very sweet an efficient. Only thing is the toilet is such a tight space you basically have to sit sideways if you are a little taller than most. Also the shower head placement. You either have to turn it to the wall or get pretty aggressively sprayed if its facing you.
• Gianna (10/5): Siempre es lindo volver - Es un hostal muy tranquilo las instalaciones súper nuevas y bien mantenidas; hay mucho espacio para chill out en el hostel, elpersonal es muy amoroso Es la segunda vez que me alojo en este hostel ☺️ Todo perfecto
• gloria (9/5): -
• Xavier (10/5): -
• NA (10/5): - 很喜欢这家酒店，环境不错，下次来了还住这里。
• NA (10/5): -
• redredredred (9/5): 乾淨、地點方便、價格合理 - 地點位在古城中心，到哪裡都算方便 整個hostel房間和空間都很乾淨，廁所也是 價位合理，床有拉廉很棒，也有放行裡的櫃子和抽屜 有小廚房，冰箱、碗盤、餐具可用 屋主人很好 整體不是很social 的 hostel，適合 I 人小小閒聊 如果超過18:00入住，就只能自行按照屋主指示，按圖索驥，雖然不是大問題，但 check out 以後，行李就無法放超過18:00
• Yongtong (8/5): -
• Lea (9/5): Trotz wenig Platz, super Personal, tolle Lage - Insgesamt hat mir die Unterkunft gut gefallen, das Personal war sehr nett, Wasserspender und gratis Frühstück, Kühlschrank und Gefrierschrank, bequemes Bett leider nicht so viel Platz um den Rucksack/Koffer zu öffnen, Schrank zum abschließen nicht besonders groß, mein 50l Rucksack hat gerade so reingepasst (6er Frauenschlafsaal), unangenehmer Geruch im Bad
• Jolina (9/5): Super süßes und schönes Hostel! - Sehr nette Mitarbeiter, man fühlt sich sofort wie Zuhause. Alles ist sehr sauber gehalten und die Lage ist auch perfekt da man zu Fuß alles erreicht. Eine kleine Küche ist ebenfalls vorhanden und ein schöner Gemeinschaftsraum. Beim Frühstück könnte es ein bisschen mehr Auswahl geben.
• MartinaB. (10/5): Genial! - La amabilidad del personal, increíble, atento en cada momento y deseando dar consejos. Bien las instalaciones también! Quizás un poco pequeñita la parte del baño para una estancia larga, pero para unos días super bien!
• Paula (10/5): - Nice hostel, not super social but rather quiet und perfectly located to explore Chiang Mai. So friendly und helpful with anything you need!
• Iwan (9/5): -
• Dácil (8/5): - Cama con cortinas, cómoda y agradable. Ubicación estupenda, cerca de todo y en calle tranquila. La ducha estaba atascada y se acumulaba el agua
• luca (10/5): -
• Eveliina (10/5): - Clean, quiet, feels like home, friendly host who will help if you need any. Cannot thank enough 🙏🫶

• NATHALIE (9/5): -
• donal (9/5): Perfect cosy stay in quiet and clean hostel. Friendly Staff also. - Very helpful staff, exceptionally clean. Clean towels and clean bathroom, you can tell they make this a priority. The owner was always giving helpful tips, I saw her talk with everyone. There is a good community sense there to be nice and respectful. All in all had a great experience. Breakfast = coffee, tea, cereals, and some spreads.
• Marta (10/5): -
• Regina (7/5): Prima verblijf gehad voor 2 nachten - Prijs Kleine kluisjes en bed
• Alyssa (8/5): -
• Karolina (7/5): -
• Aylin (10/5): Felt like home after a few hours - This accommodation was super super clean and cosy. Due to some damage in one of the mixed dorms during my stay (end of Jan 26) it was mostly us girls from the female dorm, which has been super cozy and familiar. To be honest, it was perfect this way. I wanted to extend my stay as I liked it so much, but unfortunately it was all booked out. - WiFi was super super fast and stable - Lockers large enough to fit a whole backpack - capsule style beds were great for privacy - perfect AC temperature that didn’t feel freezing cold at night Nothing that would change my rating, as these were just small things: I think both the room doors and the sliding doors could use a bit of oil, as they were quite loud when opening and closing, which sometimes made me feel bad about disturbing my roommates. This feels like a quick and easy fix that could make this hostel a 12 out of 10 :-)
• Marine (10/5): Great family run Hostel - Koki and her husband are very welcoming. This hostel was great : confortable, clean, quiet ! They are very helpful if you need to book activities. Great location, close to temples, Night market and streets of interest ! I definitely recommend !
• Chitra (10/5): - Papking was my home is Chiang Mai. Where do I begin? I woke up each day feeling the need to smile and feel loved by the owners - Koki and Paul. They were the two most incredible hosts that I have come across in my years of traveling. I had initially booked a week's stay and then extended it to about 23 days, because a week of love and warmth wasn't enough! The space in itself is stunning with chic minimalist interiors that are blended with comfort and gives a sense of luxury while being affordable. The hygeine is top notch as the team works cautiously to ensure that it is spic and span by steaming the beds each time a guest checks out. I have not witnessed this level of hygiene anywhere else - and this is all thanks to Koki who believes that her guests must be comfortable and healthy while they stay here. She is someone who goes above and beyond to ensure the comfort of someone who stays at Pakping by also guiding them to local activities that are unique and versatile to experience in the ethereal city of Chiang Mai. She helps you feel at home and checks on you if there is something that you need. I loved her energy and look forward to going back soon. The icing on the cake is her lil corgi dog Nico who pays a visit. Overall if I have to sum up my experience I want to say that I found a home in a different country and now Chiang Mai will be a place I will always go back to - all thanks to my dear friend Koki and her husband Paul. Hands down the two of the nicest folks in the world! Wish you guys the best of everything - until we meet again <3 I loved everything about this place!
• Rabia (10/5): Best hostel in Chiangmai - Everything! The owners and staff were fantastic, super helpful, attentive, friendly and genuine. Felt like being a part of a larger tribe. The hostel itself was outstanding in cleanliness and the furniture was modern and comfy.
• Matthew (9/5): -
• Geraldinne (10/5): - I like everything from this place, I love the trust and freedom from the owner. It is a small hostel but perfect if you don’t want a party hostel but still meet people. The place was clean and always organised, amazing location too. Thanks to the owner for its amazing service and help! I would recommend this place 100/100!!
• Letizia (8/5): - The room is not very spacious but is clean. The bathroom was clean. The hostel convenient location is close to everything in the city center of Chiang Mai, from our room we could even see the tower of the city center main temple. The room is at the third floor and there is no lift, only stairs. For us was not an issue, but bear that in mind especially if you have bulky or heavy luggage.
• Lucie (7/5): - - L'emplacement - La propreté - La dame de l'accueil était sympathique et arrangeante - La literie était quand même très dure
• Morgan (8/5): -
• Angela (10/5): - Loved my stay here — Koki and her beautiful family are warm, friendly, knowledgable hosts (with inspiring backstories!) and you can pretty much organize everything you want to do in Chiang Mai through their guidance and/or booking. The minimalist space was clean, cozy, centrally located along a peaceful side street in the old city. Amenities wise, I particularly appreciated that towels and locked storage were provide and the capsule dorm setup vs. traditional bunk beds. Would definitely stay here again when in Chiang Mai.
• Andrea Katalin (10/5): -
• Katherine (9/5): Perfect location, friendly staff and super clear! - Friendly staff who really wanted to help and shared their knowledge. Everything you needed was there, well equipped kitchen and social spaces. The property was super clean and well maintained. We had the private room which was on the top floor out of the way. As a hostel it was incredible quiet, which we really liked. Good location, close to temples and other attractions. Shower wasn’t super warm. And be careful when finding the property as there is another hostel with a similar name (our fault, not theirs!)
• Maria Chiara (10/5): - Ostello pulito, host reattivi e gentilissimi. Oltre a darmi vari consigli su posti da visitare, dove mangiare etc, mi hanno permesso di lasciare il mio zaino in ostello anche dopo il check out. L'odore del bagno, ma in thailandia é così un po' dapertutto
• Adriana (10/5): Genial - Muy céntrico y amables
• Abbie (10/5): Fantastic hostel - loved it - Everything was perfect, the owners were amazing anytime you needed help. They were great with giving you guidance on activities to do. Such a lovely atmosphere. The beds aren’t that comfy.
• Karolina (9/5): -
• Lorraine (10/5): Great host, soft sheets, great location! - The sheets are so comfy and host is knowledgeable about recommendations. No elevator but that’s okay.
• Lorraine (10/5): Best hosts! - Clean and quiet. Nothing.
• Esther (10/5): - The owners are the best <3. The beds being pods is great and so comfy, your own little private bedroom. The curtains are black out curtains so also very good. I had a great rest. Next to that I felt the safest I've felt in a hostel. I wish I stayed longer. No outdoor space, but not their fault of course.
• HSING YI (8/5): -
• Patrizia (10/5): - Sehr sauberes und gepflegtes Hostel. Das Bett war breit und bequem und man hatte trotz geteiltem Schlafzimmer seine Privatsphäre. Die Gemeinschaftsräume waren sehr schön eingerichtet. Die Besitzerin war äusserst liebenswürdig und hilfsbereit und hat mir die besten Restaurants empfohlen. Ich habe meinen Aufenthalt sehr genossen und würde dieses Hostel jederzeit wieder buchen.
• Zsofia (10/5): - The reception staff were always very helpful and you can book at the hostel easily a lots of activities.
• Sara (9/5): - Personale cordiale e camera ampia e pulita Ci sono 2 rampe di scale da fare per raggiungere la camera. Avendo le valigie grosse è stato un po' faticoso ma il personale ci ha aiutato ed è stato gentilissimo
• Ana (9/5): - Quarto confortável. Ótima localização muito proximo da rua principal. Staff muito prestável Sem elevador, não foi um problema mas se tiver malas grandes é mais difícil
• Kat (8/5): - Staff were helpful, the lobby/outdoor area were especially nice to hang out in, the free breakfast was a bonus. The area around the hostel is good, very close to the centre of the city. The room/bathroom were quite small and the AC was not very powerful. The door was difficult to open.
• Nadine (9/5): - Good hostel for staying only for one night! That I was only allowed to eat at the first floor
• Daniel (8/5): -
• Lisa Marie (10/5): Wieder einmal ein schöner Aufenthalt - Ich war bereits vor drei Jahren in der Unterkunft und ich habe mich damals so wie heute so wohl gefühlt. Die Owner sind so herzlich, das ist der Hauptgrund. Ansonsten ist das Hostel sooo sauber und einfach ein gemütlicher Ort mit guter Lage. Am meisten berührt hat mich jedoch, dass der Owner mich nach so langer Zeit tatsächlich wieder erkannt hat, was bei so viel Gästen tagtäglich echt was ganz besonderes ist. <3 Gibt’s nichts :-)
• Tim (10/5): The owner was very helpfull and welcoming. -
• Gabriela (10/5): -
• Nancy (10/5): -
• Laura (10/5): - Very clean and the late check in was really easy! The personell is very friendly and lovely.
• Mouad (10/5): I highly recommend this hostel - Everything Nothing
• Elisa (10/5): - The owners are really kind and helpful, the common area is super comfortable and the atmosphere was calm and chill. So if you like it more quiet, I would definitely recommend the Pakping Hostel:) and the breakfast was really good too!!! The dorm is a little packed, so there’s almost no space for the backpacks. Also some of the beds are too close next to the door - it‘s a little bit stressful
• Carol (10/5): -
• Jose Pablo (9/5): - The personnel, the free light breakfast provided, the location, the price. Mattress a little too thin and small mixed bedroom, altho the bed space is quite big.
• Catarina (10/5): -
• Catarina (10/5): -
• Magdalena (7/5): - Nice hosts, calm hostel, clean I think there's something with the waterlock in the bathroom in the female dormatory that isn't working properly, it smelled..
• Pan (10/5): -
• Zachary (9/5): - Amazing place, super clean, friendly staff. Only one male bathroom and toilet and shower are together, can be some waiting time. Shower heater is also broken and exposed to water. At some point it will probably electrocute someone.
• FUKUSHIMA (9/5): - お掃除しているスタッフの方がとってもフレンドリーで可愛かった。旧市街をぶらぶらするには最高のロケーションでした◎大きめの鍵付きBOXもあったし、シャワーも混まずに使えました。 エレベーターがないので、重い荷物を部屋まで運ぶのが大変かも。
• Juliette (10/5): Le plus propre de tous les hostels et personnel gentil. - Très très propre, personnel gentil RAS
• Bart (9/5): -
• Clémentine (7/5): - Plusieurs espaces communs. Une cuisine bien équipée Le ménage tous les jours dans les chambres et sanitaires.
