There is a cat of course. varieties of choices for breakfast are all delicious:) It's really a heartwarming place to rest yourself in the morning and quite peaceful in the evening. Although the room is not big but functional zones are full of meticulous details, to consider the issues that almost everyone used. I will come the next time!

The location of the hotel is excellent! The bed is very comfortable, and the room has a TV and air conditioning that can be easily controlled (which is great since I can’t stay long with the AC on). There’s also a table with two chairs, perfect for eating or working. The private bathroom and toilet are clean, and I was surprised to find a water heater as well! There are even hangers and other useful amenities. and the iconic of hotel "CAT" :-) Overall, a very pleasant stay!

All hostels in Chiang Mai

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The staff and the Hostel. Warm and welcoming, clean and modern. I kept extending my stay and stayed for almost two weeks. The ladies that work there and the owner are super helpful and friendly and ready to help with anything. Free filter water and coffee and tea, they have a fridge and microwave you can use and you can do your laundry and use the tumbledryer for cheap. Great mobile coffee van right around the corner. Sunday night street market right behind them. Safe to walk around at night.

Great location, small social yet quiet no party hostel, met lovely people here. Very good value for money, good aircon, clean, clean bathroom and bedding, very pleasant atmosphere and common area to relax, study, read, work..very helpful and kind hosts. There is a small spa just at the corner run by a sweet lady who also does laundry at a very good price, very convenient. Felt very safe here and slept really well in the female dorm. Locker keys and fresh towel are provided at 300 Baht deposit. I’ll be back.

Great location. Bed is comfortable, and if not comfortable, you can ask for different mattress or pillow. Clean bathroom. Large hostel so very social. You can meet a lot of new people from here. Cafe just next to the hostel But I liked the very cheap local breakfast just downstairs of the hostel.
