I liked everythings , the staff is amazing and the property was very clean. They know how to put you at ease and you will feel at home. Every morning you can have breakfast outside and every evening you can join guests and staffs for night activities. This place is close to all the points of interest in the city. Be careful you risk staying longer than expected. Thanks for all social garden family.

It was certainly the best accommodation we've had so far on our long trip through Thailand. The space is comfortable, clean, has everything we need for 3 days. It is well located, the accommodation offers free bicycles, the host is very friendly, always available and does everything to welcome us and make us feel at home! She shared tips on what to do in Chiang Rai! We went on a tour that the accommodation offered us, and it was great, we saw the city's main attractions! We really recommend it!

Brand new place, used to be a hotel but has been converted into a hostel and it is AMAZING. Bedding was soft and comfortable, really clean, good air conditioning, bathrooms are nice and cleaned daily. I did a late check in (after office hours) as my bus came in later than expected, but it was all easy to navigate and if you have an issue you can message the owners and they will respond very quickly.

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 best hostel I stayed in during my trip. the design is beautiful, the place is extremely clean, it’s less than a minute from the bus station. The owner and staff were absolutely lovely, trusting and took great care of me. I loved that there are laundry facilities and a cute kitchen and hang out area. I always felt my stuff was safe. Note that there are strict house rules. The hostel also offered some very comprehensive tours of Chiang Mai’s attractions

Great location near bus station and walking street. Lots of bars and restaurants nearby. Hostel very laidback and has a reggae bar feel to it. No beer sold here but 7/11 round corner. Weed available too. Would recommend. Stopped in dormitory for 3 nights.
