A very clean space with great facilities and well-designed to accommodate everyone. One of the few hostels that was generous with hot water in the showers and what a treat that was.

Amazing hostel. Staff were super friendly and went out of their way to help with any issues we had. The common room is really well set up for socialising and there was plenty of facilities all very clean. The rooms are spacious and the lockers were big enough to fit my whole bag in. Breakfast is basic but plenty of it and easily made better with a quick trip to the shop. Lovely outdoor area to chill in the sun. Location was good, within walking distance to the center and just off the main road so not noisy

Both Apple and Nes were friendly, speak English and guide you from renting bike, arranging tours, suggesting some untouched locations and perfect timings to visit some famous sight seeings.. I had a wonderful stay with comfy beds, clean toilets, very close to night markets, with all required amenities, and top of that they also served basic breakfast in that price.. will recommend this place..

The best hostel I’ve been to in Thailand, they recently opened so don’t let the small amount of reviews discourage you from going there, super comfy bedrooms, great staff with fun events every night and super cool common areas. Just go there, you won’t regret it

All hostels in Chiang Rai

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.
