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.

Location is pretty central, and close enough to the bus station (15ish min walk) and all the night activities. The host got me on a tour of the major highlights of the area. Depending what you want to see renting a motorbike would be advised. Breakfast was great with eggs, cake, cookies, and fresh fruit. Coffee/tea available all day.

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
