Paul & Kooki are both very nice and supportive. I really enjoyed the stay and liked the vibe in the hostel. The common areas are too comfortable to move. Haha. It's exactly the vibe of Chiangmai. :) The bed was also set up in good design with curtain, charger, and night light in every bed. The bed struture is also very stable that you rarely felt the movement of upper bed.

All I can say is that all the enthusiastic reviews are absolutely accurate. One of the first things George (the owner) told me was that he wants me to feel at home, and there are so many smart and mindful little details that make this place a home: the amazing coffee, the snacks and fresh fruit that are available 24/7, the individual slippers every guest gets to wear inside, the bicycles that you can just borrow for free, the layout of the dormitories, the storage inside your bed capsule... It really is an exceptional place, would stay there again anytime without a second thought!

I absolutely loved my stay here. Initially I booked only 3 nights and ended up staying for 2 weeks. The beds are the most comfortable I've had during my whole trip in Thailand, the staff is super friendly and helpful. Even though it isn't a super social hostel I met lots of people. Location is perfect, you can walk everywhere in the old city. I'll defs be back!

Sky (the owner) is the best. She's so sweet and helpful. I cannot emphasize enough how much you'll feel right at home here. She makes everyone so comfortable. Due to a misunderstanding, when I arrived, the hostel was completely full. But, she checked again and luckily, a guest who was checking out the day later had to go to the airport earlier so she made the bed for me right then and there and cleaned the bathroom. Throughout my stay, she gave me so many suggestions on what to do around the area, even made plans for me on how to make it happen and booked me and other guests tours and shows. She also showed me how to do laundry in the laundry place nearby. She made very nice breakfast for me everyday. She's super flexible and jokes around all the time. I also really liked her son and mother in the house. It felt like living with them as they did their thing in the house. It's really a very nice family house and it feels like such. The house itself is very cute too, with balconies and nice views. Do not miss out on staying here, you'll not regret it.

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.
