Chiang Mai Hostellit

Plussat: good location, value for money, accomodating owner, comfortable stay

Plussat: I’ve stayed here twice and it is run by a lovely family! They recognized me right away and gave me the same bed! They keep the bed area super clean! The sheets and bed are so comfy for a hostel and the little curtains offer a lot more privacy. They are always willing to help and are attentive.

Miinukset: The only thing was no air conditioning in the room during the day. So if you’re a napper like myself it can be a little warm. But it’s a small sacrifice for the price and such a wonderful place!

Plussat: It’s amazing. Everything is super clean and the staff are lovely and helpful, good location, close to many touristic places. Beds are comfortable

Miinukset: Breakfast would be a little bit more than toast and banana. But still I loved the place.

Plussat: The staff was amazing, he was so kind, also the hostel was really clean

Plussat: Near to Night Bazaar Market

Miinukset: Price for motorbike is higher

Plussat: Great location, walking distance to a range of restaurants and shops. The owner and his family are so kind and very welcoming. He helped us to naviatge the city pointing out some street food places as well as booking us into a cooking class. He is also kind enough to leave out complimentary tea/coffee, bread and bananas in the morning. The dorm itself is clean and so comfortable. The curtains allow for more privacy than most dorms and the locked storage under the bed is great and fitted both my big rucksack and small backpack. Very handy also having laundry and a dryer on site for a reasonable price meaning you can do your washing and drying in a shorter time than leaving it in somewhere. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others!

Plussat: the location is great, just outside the old city. the place is running by a very polite family. beds were very comfy and all the beds have curtains which gives you some privacy in dorms.

Miinukset: breakfast could be better I believe.

Plussat: Everything in this hostel

Miinukset: Everything

Miinukset: Air conditioner

Plussat: Friendly workers, clean, comfortable beds, good location

Miinukset: There are other places that offer the same quality hostel at a lower price.

Plussat: The room was rather clean and modern, the staff lady was really helpful, we booked one trip via hostel and we were glad we did. However i recommend booking a room with a/c, the fan was not enough for this kind of humid and hot weather.

Plussat: Good location, quiet area, helpful staff

Plussat: We liked the chilled atmosphere and the modern design of the hostel. Every time we would come back in the evening, the owner would chill downstairs with his friends. A place offering a good value of money.

Miinukset: Nothing major we can think of.

Plussat: Clean and comfortable room. Good location. An area on the ground floor with kettle and microwave where you can have your own breakfast.

Plussat: Nothing.

Miinukset: At first, when we arrive, there was no one to attend us. Finally, a user told us to knock a door, where the owner was sleeping. We reserve a double bed, but they gave us two individual beds. There was socks, used soap, and a white tong from some user before us. Very dirty everything, a disgusting experience.

Plussat: Very good location (old town) And friendly staff

Miinukset: Bath Window is little and there is too much humidity after shower.

Plussat: The staff and location were fantastic. The room was very clean and had everything we needed including a fridge! The security was also very good. We will stay here again if we come back to Chiang Mai.

Miinukset: This is entirely personal but we got a room without Aircon and it got really hot. We had to open our door to the hallway to cool it down. I can't take any points away from the hostel because it was our choice, but if we come back to Chiang Mai around the same time of year we will probably pay the extra for an air con room.

Plussat: I have stayed in this hostel on several occasions and for longer periods of time. This is the place to go if you want to stay central and in a place with an apartment building vibe - you have your unit and nobody will bother you, but the owner and staff are there when you need something and you might get a chance to sit down with them for a few Hong Thongs on some evenings :) Really secure motorbike parking inside. No traffic noise at night.

Miinukset: We stayed during the hottest period, and as the aircon works with the keycard, it took a while every time to get a nice temperature in the room when returning.

Plussat: The hostel is in the old city and you can walk everything. It’s quite new or it’s look like. And it’s super quite.

Miinukset: The bed is really old and uncomfortable. I had a room with a fan but the window was to small so no air circulation at all. The stuff was okay but not friendly.

Plussat: We had 3 and we decided to stay at the family room. The room is super large. The air conditioner works well and there is no mosquito at all. The bed is extremely comfy. We had good sleep there. The hostel also has a chubby cat, which is cute.

Miinukset: The lighting needs changing. The room is a little bit dark.

Plussat: The beds were comfy, the shower was great, the hostel provided Shampoo, shower gel, body lotion and a towel. Each room had its own en suite and the Wi-Fi throughout the hostel was good.

Miinukset: There hostel claimed a bar and a cafe on site but, it didn't have either of those. As it is the rainy season, some food close by would have been more convenient compared to just the 7/11.

Plussat: I like the location.

Miinukset: The stuff was kind of rude, not really helpful, I couldn’t use the pool, it wasn’t working. For the price I will consider to stay in another place honestly. Breakfast include mean 3 pieces of bread and coffee. The bathroom had a weird smell.

Plussat: Extremely good position, you are 20 mins from the old city center. The room was spacious and the bathroom was nice.

Miinukset: The swimming pool didn't work..the staff told us that it was written on a website..a reminding mail would have been appreciated to avoid (our) bad surprise and confirm a good level of service. Breakfast..all the dishes contained eggs. Welcome cholesterol! I had to tell the staff my room was full of mosquitos (5 stings after just entering the room is enough..) to get the mosquito killers sprayed in the room. No safe in the room. 1000 thb as key deposit..considering a foreigner must pay 220 thb for every withdrawal to ATMs, I would review this policy.

Miinukset: little choice for breakfast

Plussat: Good value for money. Great pool. Good location

Miinukset: Breakfast choices were limited

Plussat: The staff is friendly and room is clean and spacious. Location is also good.

Miinukset: The breakfast is very simple and coffee didn't taste good.

Plussat: Good location and comfy beds

Miinukset: The staff was not super helpful or friendly.

Plussat: Comfy bed and good location with healthy breakfast included. Good value for money.

Plussat: Breakfast is enough to get your started for the day.

Miinukset: Pool was closed which we found out when checking in. When I asked why I was told that this was information I should have seen on booking. It’s wasn’t on booking.com. We found two dead cockroaches in the bedroom - see photos. Parents fridge didn’t work for the entire stay, was never fixed and no explanation or apology given.

Plussat: Swimming pool area would have been nice however the pool was under maintenance and was closer (although the hotel had informed us the pool wouldn’t be closed until the day we were meant to check out). Pool was already emptied and tiles had been removed before we even checked in.

Miinukset: The room was filthy. We stayed in their hostel part and there were black hairs, dust and leftover belongings from previous guests everywhere Bedsheets were stained with blood, sweat and other sorts BEDBUGS! We were moved from one room at 12.30am after we had already gone to bed when we realised there were bedbugs. The next room had squished dead bedbugs everywhere but no alive ones and was just as dirty as the first room Staff were hostile and rude

Plussat: Very friendly and helpful staff that went out of their way to assist whenever they could and was like a jungle style setup which looked great.... Bicycle group tours and elephant/ trekking tours available.

Miinukset: They did not have the western food as advertised on the menu boards (staff told me I needed to give them 2 days notice to organise the food) Lots of mosquito's that ate me alive. The curtains did not cover the full window so the sunlight came in of a morning. There was old soap left in the bathroom from previous occupants. The garbage that was put outside remained there until the day I checked out (Two 18 year old girls were housekeepers and didn't seem too interested in cleaning up) Oh and the Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club House is on the same road (15 metres away.... A bit concerning) Not alot around to do unless you had organised one of the elephant/ trekking tours with the establishment... which looked great or a bicycle group tour)

Plussat: Nice room, nice garden

Miinukset: Breakfast available at after 8am ONLY, a bit far from the bus station (no 3), water not working for half a day (= no shower, no toilet flushing, no hand washing)

Plussat: Erinomainen

Miinukset: not very clean.

Miinukset: Do not stay at this hostel. First of all it's really far from the market and a better value to stay in a slightly more expensive one near the night markets. Second, the rooms smell awful. There is absolutely mold in all of them, it's genuinely unsafe and would not fly in other countries. We were in a private room and the bathroom was really terrible, mud all over the ground. Lastly, the staff is terrible. Checkout is at 12pm. At 11:50am we gave them our key, and began walking back to the room to relax until our flight. We stayed in the room until 12:45pm when we had to get a taxi to the airport. None of the staff said anything to us about staying in the room. They followed us out and demanded that we pay them 50 Baht for staying in the room. We said no as no one asked us to leave and the hostel was empty with no one checking in. They called the cops on us over 50 Baht. That's insane, they are disgusting people. Don't stay here.

Plussat: Breakfast is not bad. The hostel is located in far away from downtown. So pretty quite place. Ofcourse if you go to the old city or downtown you should pay more spend money. Weather is always too hot. We can not walk any where from here.

Miinukset: The hostel manaser does not have a little bit service mind how to control more comfy for tourists.

Plussat: Really nice people help us a lot.

Plussat: The ONLY thing I can think of is the one guy who worked there was friendly on arrival

Miinukset: FIRST OF ALL, BED BUGS. Although I shouldn’t have to say more there was so many problems with this place. When we brought it up to the one guy, who I believe may be the owner, he said we were wrong and that they didn’t exist even though we have tons of bites as well as three bugs we killed as proof. They refused to do anything about this. We had booked three nights here and didn’t even last one. Also, of course we didn’t receive a refund. On top of all of this, the bed was a sheet on top of wood. No real mattress. I am a budget traveller and can deal with a lot of things that aren’t pleasant but this was the worst place I have ever stayed in my entire life. If you would like a dirty, itchy, unpleasant experience, this is the place to go.

Plussat: Good communicative abilities and friendly manner of the staff, clean and neat environment, closeness to nature with trees, birds and other living things, yet close to shops and other facilities. The interior and exterior decor are creative. Ok

Plussat: Friendly staff !

Miinukset: Nothing , perfect for me :)

Plussat: Friendly stuffs, helpful, easygoing

Miinukset: I got bitten by bed bugs in a blanket but the staffs apologized and changed a blanket when I told them.
