Large hostel, built in bed with curtain, plug socket, shelf and light. Tea, coffee and filtered cold water available 24/7. Good security. Large lockable cupboard under bed( need own lock) breakfast was pleasant, toast, jam, boiled eggs and salad. Easy to get a grab from here. Super close to the Saturday night market. 15 minute walk to the bus station and night bizarre. Breakfast/common areas really nice and chilled. There are tables out the from in the sunken garden. You can book the slow boat at reception. Clean toilets and showers. Comfy beds with white linen and duvets. Ac and fans in room.

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!

I loved this hostel! One of the best hostels so far. The workers are very friendly. They recommended many paces in Chiang Rai to visit and even send the list with google maps links on WhatsApp. They helped to book Muay Thai and yoga classes, booked the trip around the city for me. Very open and talkative! If I would stay in Chiang Rai longer or once again, I would definitely stay here! They look after the cleanliness very diligently, have a very comfortable common area, and even have free snacks for everyone🥹❤️ A few comments from me: If the water pressure in the shower would be stronger, that would be great If the the bed would be softer, that would be great, now it’s a typical Asian style bed😄 Also, the location is perfect! Like 5 sec from bus station, same to night market that works every evening, 2 min walk to 7/11, and 15 min by car to the airport.

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.

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.
