"This could be one of the best hostels in thailand! the best in chiang rai for sure! Extremely friendly staff, comfortable bed and blanket (that make me hard to get out of bed 😂). Clean kitchen, clean toilet, and great common room, also not to mention the swimming pool area! so cozy! Location wise, 5-10 minutes walk to bus station 1, night market,night bazaar. This hostel is very quiet at night and has a peaceful surroundings. not for party goers definitely but its heaven for those seeking peace! Sad to leave this hostel early, would recommend this hostel to anyone! MUST TRY! "

"stayed here while just visiting Chiang Rai for a couple days before leaving to Laos. One of the nicest hostels I’ve stayed at in Thailand for one of the cheapest prices I’ve paid. I was able to book a room on the spot despite arriving at 11:30pm after a long day of travelling (and quite desperate for a place to stay) with no problem. Rooms and washrooms are extremely clean and comfortable, the wifi is perfect throughout the entire building, and the owners and staff are some of the nicest people you will meet on your travels."

"We arrived here in the afternoon after go around Chiang Rai, and the staff welcome us very friendly. The receptionist are very good in making conversation and make us forget about the tiredness. We rent 3 bed in dormitory room. The bed are very comfort and clean. Each person get a towel and mineral water. Overall is good, but the wall isnt soundproof, so we hear a very noise voice from the guest next door. Bathroom and toilet is very clean. And as a guest, we get many compliment as discount 30% for beverage in its cafe, also free detergent and softener for the laundry. I will stay there again if I back to Chiang Rai. But maybe not in dormitory room :)"

"Staff(Owner) gives you the best hospitality with warmth. I really didn't travel much in Chiang Rai this time though, I fully enjoyed my time there and conversation I had with the owner and travelers. Pretty sized guesthouse and facilities are okay too. Got good coffee and many shower rooms. I was little worried about the room condition since it's big dorm, but it's clean and very good mattress. I had good sleeps during my entire stays. Thanks for caring, boss!"

"One of the best hostels I've been in Thailand. The hammocks space is amazing, I could spend there hours and hours in front of the fire. But the best here is the staff. They are very professional and especially good people. For sure I will come back there if I came back to Chiang Rai, and of course, I'm already recommending it to the travelers I'm meeting. Hope to see you soon Thai Thai! :) "
