• Amélie (9/5): -
• Karolina (7/5): - Bardzo dobra lokalizacja blisko dworca autobusowego I nocnego marketu. Duży pokój, miła obsługa. Do późnych godzin nocnych grana jest muzyka na dole oraz w barze obok, więc w pokoju wszystko słychać. Dodatkowo łazienki nie są sprzątane codziennie.
• Ryan (8/5): - Easy check in. Location was good for us. A/C struggled to cool the room. Small bugs in the bathroom area.
• Caroline (10/5): Ótimo custo benefício - Local ótimo, com bom custo benefício e bem localizado perto do night bazar ! Cama boa e chuveiro ótimo. Os funcionários demoraram a responder pelo chat com relação a uma dúvida da minha reserva, mas pessoalmente foi super tranquilo.
• SERGE,MARC-HENRI (8/5): - Très propre et bien situé Trop bruyant
• Tina (9/5): -
• Franco (1/5): -
• Karin (9/5): Leuke plek om te overnachten - Erg leuke plek, heel netjes en schoon. En je kunt er gebruik maken van de wasmachine en droger
• Monteeta (6/5): -
• Ava (9/5): Great location, huge bed and room/bathroom facilities also very clean. We were travelling as a couple but if you wer -
• Sébastien (7/5): -
• Ron (8/5): - Beautiful comfy king bed!! Very clean! Hot water was always available! There's a bar next door that plays great live music every night. We went a few times & the music was very good. But the sound in the room never bothered us. We could hear it but it was never obnoxious or too loud! A great location near the bus station (to Laos) and the great night market!
• Axel (8/5): - Nettes kleines Hostel mit aufmerksamem Service. Sehr zentral gelegen Lautes Klimagerät auf dem Balkon
• Eliana Bianchi (9/5): - El personal súper atento. En la PB tiene un resto bar muy agradable Deberían dejar toallas de mano para la bacha. Solo dejan un toallón por persona para la ducha. No tiene lugar para guardar la ropa, ni placard ni estantes, lo cual en nuestro caso que fue una estadía corta de solo 2 noches no fue un problema.
• Monteeta (8/5): -
• Yehonatan (2/5): I dont recommend! You will not be able to sleep. The walls dont block noise and the light get inside the room - Center location, clean bed and room Terrible walls. I couldn’t sleep. The rooms are near the main road and you can hear literally everything- cars engines,horns, music from a nearby bar. The balcony is disgusting.you cant open the windows
• Alessandro (8/5): - Prezzo molto economico e zona comoda per centro e spostamenti. Le camere non sono proprio come in foto, si sono la stessa camera ma un po’ usate. Ci vorrebbe una nelle pittura sui muri e sistemare un po’ di cose
• Marcos (10/5): - Ubicación perfecta,gente super acogedora y habitación genial, grande y muy limpia Un aspecto negativo es el ruido de la calle.
• Guro (7/5): It was okey for one night - Common area second floor with cold and hot water, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits. Pretty nice bathrooms. Rooms with window on second floor. Noise from restaurant and street. Terrible mattress in some rooms, way too firm and with springs too close to surface.
• Elissa (7/5): Good -
• Arita (8/5): Very good - Good price and great location
• Eve (9/5): Very affordable private room - It’s a hostel and we stayed in a super affordable private room with private bath. Staff was lovely and so helpful. It’s a quiet hostel.
• Chong (8/5): Very good -
• Moira (6/5): Pleasant -
• Maria (5/5): Great location but too noisy to rest - I stayed in a private room for three nights. The location was excellent, just steps from major attractions, and the room was clean and cozy. The staff were friendly, though not very fluent in English. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get proper rest during my stay. There was loud live music all three nights—on the first night within the hostel and on the following nights from the wine bar next door. The music even played during the day on the last two days, including siesta hours. The poor soundproofing made it worse, as the floors vibrated when the music played. While it’s a great option if you only need a place to sleep late at night, it’s not suitable if you’re looking for somewhere quiet to rest between activities.
• Rareș (9/5): Superb -
• Kevin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Miroslav (8/5): Very good - - nice and clean room - good shower and nice bathroom - balcony - windows can not be opened and they are covered with wood - entrance is always through the restaurant. walking by people eating is kinda strange - very noisy because of the music in the restaurant
• Lois (10/5): One of the best stays I’ve had in Thailand - Absolutely loved Spinomad. The room was bright and spacious, and it clearly has been renovated recently. The room and the hostel were really clean, and the downstairs wine bar had an awesome atmosphere with great food Sometimes music could be playing until around 11pm downstairs, but this only happened once while we were there and wasn’t too noisy
• Ciara (10/5): Brilliant hostel, clean and welcoming kind staff. - The location, the free coffee and hot chocolate The TV did not work and there was no towel/ tissue to dry your hands in the bathroom.
• Nang (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ellen (10/5): Exceptional - great restaurant, friendly staff, stylish hotel some street noise
• Ludovic (7/5): Good depending on which room you're staying in. - Clean (at least in the private room) and modern hostel. Right in the city center close to everything! Great staff! Love the bar area downstairs too. Unfortunately, the private rooms are sided to the busy street. When I arrived, I tried taking a nap but that was impossible. I could hear everything, as if I was sleeping on the sidewalk. Checked out and chose to stay in a nearby hotel.
• Bernardita (10/5): Exceptional - Clean rooms and bathrooms. Great common area. Great location
• Daniel (9/5): Superb -
• Helmut (2/5): Great staff, noisy street side rooms make it impossible to sleep. - The rooms with the private bathroom are facing a very busy street side. With little or no sound isolation, its impossible to sleep, even with earplugs... you will be awake all night.
• Kim (8/5): Very good -
• Nicolle (10/5): Exceptional - Staff super nice and facilittes spotless clean! no elevator
• Athikan (9/5): Superb -
• Matthew (7/5): Good -
• Marion (9/5): Superb - It's a very cool hostel, located above a bar. So if you want to have food or drinks, you just need to go down the stairs. The people were amazing. One night there was a live performance and afterwards the staff kicked off caraokee, which was a lot of fun. The staff also was very helpful with getting around and renting motorbikes. Also, there is an area with free snacks and coffee, I loved that. The rooms have a cool style, and are clean and big enough for 2 people. We even had a balcony but we did not use it, because the bar downstairs and the night market around the corner were much more fun. I would definitely go there again. -
• Michelle (5/5): Passable - Clean and large bedroom, free drinking water and the staff were absolutely lovely The bathrooms ran out of toilet paper and didn't get replaced. They could be a bit cleaner too. They have live music every night and it is so loud and goes until late so it was nearly impossible to sleep.
• Yangfan (9/5): Superb -
• Laura (10/5): - We had a lovely stay at Spinomad Hostel. The host was very friendly and helpful. She even helped us to book a car to the tea plantation when our driver fell through. This hostel is a great deal for the pice. It is clean and comfortable and in a great area of the city!
• Komsak (9/5): Superb -
• Thomas (8/5): Very good -
• Malina (7/5): Good - The staff is welcoming, the design of the place is very modern, the restaurant downstairs is a great dinner option. No sound insulation, you will hear so much traffic noise from the outside busy street - it felt like sleeping in the middle of the street (I had a private room, I believe the dorm rooms might be better as they are not facing that busy street). Also, the windows in the room cannot be opened (I was told it is due to safety measures), and since they are full wood, it means there hardly is little natural light coming in.
• Jacquelyn (8/5): Very good - Staff was super sweet, very accommodating. The location is extremely convinient to night bizaar and lots of good food within walking distance. Beds were comfy, and bottled water, coffee was provided complimentary. Netflix was provided in the private room. Laundry machines worked great, and detergent and softener provided. Some things could use repair/were renovated cheaply but overall clean and comfortable space. Not sure if they were doing renovations on dorms, but I felt like there were not any other guests at hostel. Did not run into anyone in the social areas. Showers did not properly drain which caused flooding and cleanliness issues, but it did not feel "too unclean to use" just had to shower quickly to avoid flooding bathroom/standing water at feet.
• Yaqiu (10/5): Clean room, lovely staff, definitely 10/10 -
• Paraskevi (8/5): A stylish hostel in a convenient location - The location was definitely very convenient, in the heart of the city, next to the night market, bus terminal, all massage places, cafes,etc. It has a laundry that you can use for 40BHT and another 40BHT to dry your clothes. The room has a nice design and the mattress was also nice. The lady owns it, she always smiling and friendly and also the personal working in the cafe/restaurant which is part of the hostel. We stayed in room 3 which apparently was next to the kitchen and you could hear anything. There was no isolation from the noises outside the room and you can hear in the night all noise coming from the restaurant. Then the toilet in the ground floor could be used from guests and also from the restaurant guests. And the vleanliness could be something to be improved in the common spaces. But in overall it was good.And still to be recommended.
• Rebecca (10/5): Exceptional -
• Eleanor (10/5): Exceptional -
• Vanina (9/5): Superb - Rooms were nice and clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. Overall a good experience.
• Franziska (10/5): Exceptional - Our stay was perfect. Staff was really nice and helpful. Rooms are nice and clean. Location is great as well. Nothing
• Mijiru (9/5): Superb - Staff very kind Sometimes, I can hear the noise from outside
• Lily (10/5): Exceptional -
• Derbhla (10/5): Great - Staff were very helpful. Great location. Beds comfy & clean :) Would stay here again Nothing :)
• David (8/5): Very good -
• Maeve (9/5): Lovely modern hostel - Lovely staff! - Really modern hostel, lovely helpful staff who helped us book travek to Laos and rent scooters! The rooms were so modern and spacious. Had a lovely little chill area with free tea and coffee. Super central location, few minute walk to the Night Bazar Our room had a sort of open window/ balcony. Busy street below so you could hear it very loudly. Didn't effect us and would 100% stay again but just something to be aware of as it was quite noisy!
• Wassana (9/5): Superb - Nice staff here.This place near night market. The wall is not soundproof.I hear sounds around and room beside.
• Dmitry (9/5): Superb - The noise from the street is unbearable
• Nachayada (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lou (8/5): Very good - Restaurant and bar were great and prices were very competitive. Room was excellent value for money. The hostel is on a main road so the rooms are noisy, but it was manageable using earplugs.
• Zuzana (9/5): Superb - The place is very modern, clean and centrally located right next to the evening market and the bus station. The staff is nice, their wifi is stable and the restaurant had live music one evening during our stay, which we enjoyed a lot together with a nice cocktail! If you are looking for a place to rest, perhaps it is not the best choice as the noise from the restaurant in the evening can be heard from the rooms.
• Yacine (10/5): I wanted to stay more :( - I wanted to stay 2 days more but the hostel was already fully booked due to countdown festivities. The check in was smooth, the customer service is great. There is also a very nice bar at the first stage. Kinda noisy due to cars trafic outside but didn't bother me with plugs ear
• Josephine (9/5): Superb -
• Panidapa (8/5): Very good -
• Leo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Daniel (7/5): Good - Room was clean and had good facilities, free water coffee hot chocolate, washing detergent and softener provided, 80baht to wash and dry your clothes. The floor to ceiling window from the bar into our room, music from 8am to past midnight made sleeping difficult.
• Leo (10/5): Perfect stay - Everything: Location is right at the center of the town, about 120 baht from CEI Airport. Private Room is super clean & spacious; they serve snacks & complimentary water all day at the living room. Only a few steps to the heart of the city. The staffs are nice & friendly too Nothing to complain
• Piotr (10/5): Exceptional -
• Joseph (10/5): Great stay - Lovely little hostel with new and clean rooms! Loud music until 11:30pm
• Charlotte (10/5): Exceptional - a very warm welcome, I thought I was in the wrong place as the restaurant/bar is so lovely! Probably the best feeling of being welcomed at a property. I booked a private twin room for 1 person as that was the only option available but as I was being shown to my twin room a lovely guy at reception managed to quickly change that and redirected me to the double. Lovely room with Netflix on the tele & a large bed. Shared bathroom I had no issues with. Great live music, food & cocktails in the evening. would definitely recommend - I would have stayed longer but they were fully booked! there's nothing to comment on here :)
• Anonymous (9/5): A great stay in a clean, tidy hostel with very welcoming and friendly staff. - The rooms very clean, comfortable and tidy. The bathroom and shower were also very clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hostel is in a great location, walking distance to most things in Chiang Rai. We had a great stay here, nothing to complain about or change.
• Philipp (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ooi (10/5): Prefect stay - Great location. Walking distance to morning market, bus station, night bazaar, clock tower and many more attractive temples. The staff are so sweet, friendly and helpful. The room is so comfort and surprisingly come with Nexflix channel. Free cookies, hot chocolate (self service). The addition bonus is free detergent and softener for laundry in the hostel. All perfect
• Poh (10/5): No regrets. This is the best hostel I ever been to and it beats the hotel standard with this price. - It was a wonderful stay at Chiangrai Spinomad Hostel. No words to describe how nice this place is. Homely feel. Location and price was great, night bazaar all within walking distance. Plenty of food all around the place. Complimentary of bottled water and biscuits, coffee… etc all available for free whole day. There is washing and dryer facilities available. There is a restaurant and pub with live band on weekends. Staff were so friendly that they always greet you with a smile whenever you meet them. Only disadvantages is that I chose a room with balcony, Road noise can be heard. But disregard this, all the advantages overcome the shortcomings.
• Brendan (8/5): Very good - The girls at reception were very friendly and helpful. The room we stayed in was big, spacious and modern as were the showers and bathroom. Free glass bottles of water in the fridge was an added bonus. Location was excellent. A couple of small issues - the windows in the bedroom that face the corridor have the most pointless blinds that don't keep any light out. As we couldn't turn off the light in the corridor the room was essentially bright all night. Also the noise from the street outside can be loud at times but that can be expected for such a central location. We had no issues with the noise from the restaurant/bar downstairs as the music always finished at a reasonable time.
• Martina (9/5): An awesome stylish place to stay. - Cozy and stylish private room. Modern and clean hostel. Great location. Very nice and friendly staff. A bit noisy during the night as the room is facing a busy street.
• Martin (9/5): Great stay - The staff was great, friendly and very helpful. The location is good to get from and to, few minutes away from night market and the bus station :) It was quite loud at night since our rooms were facing the street and there were only thin windows. Someone who needs it silent to sleep might have some problems
• Felix (9/5): Superb - Lovey staff, very helpful and friendly. Great value for the double rooms, conformable beds. Generally very clean. Some spots a bit old or worn out already but I guess that's normal. Scooter rental without problems. Great coffee 😉 Rooms are very noisy, windows are basically like paper. With earplugs I had no problem but my friend didn't sleep well.
• Giulia (10/5): Exceptional - The best hostel in Chiang Rai, everything was perfect: the design of the room, the comfortable bed, the clean bathroom. The girls on the front desk are very kind and really helpful!!
• Daniel (8/5): class - very good for the price. spotless all over and the cafe/bar that was connected was great. complementary water and snacks and coffee really can’t fault it
• Pouria (8/5): Clean hostel with a lovely cafe! - Very nice hostel situated in the centre of town with a great cafe. Rooms are clean with all the required amenities. The only downside is the street noise for rooms facing the main street. The breakfast and coffee are a must!
• rose marie (10/5): Impressive chic hotel - Very modern chic hotel. Staff is amazing. Especially Zoom the front desk employee. He could give lessons for the most exemplary model of hotel management. I was very impressed with how well this hotel is handled. When I questioned a concern regarding something I had observed, it was remedied in minutes. I'll be back here. Never slept in a capsule bed before. Different but very good bed.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Amazing breakfast included in my private room rate. The room was spacious and comfortable with excellent wifi. Great live music. Some road nose, but we were tired enough that it didn't bother us. Fantastic location. We'd happily stay again.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Good - Good stay!
• DOOHYUN (8/5): - 직원은 친절했고, 시설도 깨끗했으며, 조식 또한 아주 좋았습니다. 다만 길가에 인접해있고 방음이 잘 되지 않아 시끄러웠습니다.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Perfect Stay! - Amazing Staff! Breakfast was DELICIOUS! Very convenient. Perfect location and Laundry service with free soap and softener for people staying at the hotel. The staff was overly helpful with our needs! We went for 1 night and ended up staying 3. Very much recommended!
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Wir wurden sehr freundlich in Empfang genommen und das Personal war sehr hilfsbereit. Die Lage und der kleine Privatparkplatz gegenüber sind ebenfalls gut. Die Zimmer sind geschmackvoll eingerichtet und sauber. Auch die anderen Gäste des Hostels haben sich rücksichtsvoll verhalten. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker, auch wenn es von den Portionen etwas mehr hätte sein dürfen. Einziges Manko: Das Hostel liegt direkt an einer viel befahrenen Straße. Zu unserer Überraschung lässt der Verkehr in der Nacht jedoch nach und unser Schlaf wurde dadurch nicht gestört.
• SANTIAGO (10/5): - Volveria otra vez sin pensarlo
• Verified traveler (6/5): - ダブルのシャワーsharedにしましたが、結果的に失敗でした。1階のカフェ横に部屋があり、ガラス窓はカフェの中から丸見えというデザイン、、。シャワーやトイレも2階ドミトリーを利用する為、不便でした。また、カフェの音楽音が夜中までありますので、五月蝿いのが気になる人は厳しいかも。しかし部屋は綺麗になってて、スタッフも親切でした
• LeaLee (10/5): - Great Breakfast & coffee, location is perfect thx
• Anthony (6/5): Cool but private room NOISY! - Great location and a really cool hostel. We had the private room upstairs by the road. The room was excellent with own bathroom, but so NOISY! It seems that they take the "Loud Pipes save Lives" to an extreme in Chiang Rai as 90% of all motorcycles have modified their pipes to be extremely LOUD. Like 100db range. It was Saturday night, and we were woken up several times an hour by a bike riding by. Other than that, really friendly staff and close to the Night Walking market, where we had some delicious Pad Thai.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Good location, close to Bus Station to go to Chiang Mai and White temple. Nice staff.
• Ss (10/5): - The staff are friendly and helpful. They will provide a lot of useful information for planning your trip in Chang Rai.
• Raymond (10/5): Excellent Private Rooms. Fabulous Location! - Am I dreaming? Is this for real? That was my immediate reaction when I checked-in to Spinomad Hostel for a couple nights while visiting Chiang Rai. I wanted a private room that was within 5 minutes from the bus station and night bazaar. Check-in was smooth and efficient. It was actually part of a trendy café that serves an assortment of items. When I walked to my room, I felt as if I were in an upscale hotel in Los Angeles or Miami. It honestly has that vibe. The room was spectacular equipped with two beds, a television, full-private bathroom and balcony overlooking the main street. There is also a small personal fridge to keep drinks cold and power outlets on both parts of the bed. All of this at one of the best affordable prices in Asia. The wireless internet is fast and the air-conditioning has a mode called “strong” which cooled the entire room within minutes. Spinomad also has a variety of tours to choose from that are competitively priced. There is even a laundry facility on site that seems like a mini-bar itself. This place is very cool and chic. Besides the hotel being fabulous, there are lots of places to eat excellent food, get massages and purchase gifts. I also found a gym called “The Exclusive Fitness” which offers day passes and it was about a 3 minute walk from Spinomad. Did I mention they offer a cooked to order breakfast each morning? This hostel with private rooms is my favorite find in Asia and it should be yours too!
• Laura (8/5): Nice Little Place - This is a nice little hostel. It's clean and modern. The staff are friendly. The location is convenient and very central. The only complaint is that the showers had like no water pressure and the water did not really get very hot either.
