This hostel's location is very convenient for sightseeing, restaurants, cafes, market & nightlife, but is also in a peaceful alley so there isn't any noise. The staff is really nice and helpful. Our room was clean, spacious and had all that we needed. The guests can also use the pool, the pool table, the kitchen, which also has different tea and coffee options and there is a smoking area in front of the building. There's also lots of space for hanging out or just working. We had a really pleasant stay and wish to come back for a longer one!

The owner is fantastic! We felt like we were staying with our auntie. The rooms are really nice, comfortable and clean! The beds are super comfortAble, the windows have screens so no mosquitoes! We loved everything about our stay. She also helped us with planning a day out. The daytour is a must go! The last day we were picked up late and she said it’s really ok to hang out, we could use the pool and she even made us some mango! It was the best stay for us in Thailand.

I had a great night of sleep at Busket Hostel! I was fortunate to be alone in the dorm room. The hostel is right behind the bus terminal, yet surprisingly quiet. The facilities were extremely clean, bed was comfy for hostel standard, and the hostel owner was very nice and helpful. Also snacks and a shared kitchen!

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.
