    nothing. It was perfect for my needs.

    Great value for the money. My room was clean and the bed was comfortable. It is a 2 min walk from the bus station and a 2 min walk to the lively night market (I could literally see if from my window). It is still quiet even though it's right near the market and station. The common areas and bathrooms were also clean. There was a full size fridge in the kitchenette area with a microwave and the hostel provided hot and cold water for coffee or to refill your water bottle. It also had a washing machine to clean your clothes; you can then hang them to dry on a line on their rooftop area. The woman who works there was so helpful and was probably the kindest, sweetest person I've met in all of my travels throughout Thailand. I definitely recommend this place.

    The hostel itself is magnificent. The staff is wonderful. But the hosts did not set particularly hospitable rules. Usually, if your flight is late in the evening, the hostel comes to meet you and allows you to stay in the common area after your check-out and wait for the evening. I was literally asked to go out with my things. I had to go to the airport 3 hours earlier than I was supposed to and sit there. I still don't understand why.

    Great location, very cozy and clean. Good cost.

    The mattress was very hard but we like firm beds so it wasn't too bad. If you like soft beds, you might struggle! We stayed in a private room, so I'm not sure if it'd be the same for dorm beds. The common rooms of the hostel got very hot which was a shame because we didn't really get a chance to enjoy the cute spaces - but its a heat wave at 42 degrees so I don't think that could've been avoided.

    Fon from the front desk was so attentive! Very clean hostel, and we loved the free snacks. We loved the location - right near the bus stop and the Chang Rai Night Bazaar - but we didn't hear any noise!

    Great location 2 minute walk from the bus station. Right by the night markets. Lovely staff and easily rented a bike from the hostel. Beds/mattresses are firm but i think that’s the style- either way had a good sleep.

    A very minor note that AC in dining and reception areas would be nice BUT there are fans. Dining and reception areas can get really hot during the day.

    Good location, very accessible - it was near bus terminal and a night bazaar. The entire hostel, from room, toilet, and eating area is all very clean. AC in room is very nice and cold. Nice quiet place and host communicates well.

    Nothing. It was a fantastic stay.

    Everything about this hostel was amazing. Incredible location, nice communal areas with free tea/ coffee and snacks. Cold drinking water available to refill your bottle for free. The owner was super lovely and very helpful and booked bus tickets to bangkok for me when i couldn't do it online. Good sized lockers to store belongings. Also nice that there are stairs instead of a ladder to get to the top bunk. One of the best hostels I've stayed in throughout my travels.

    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.

    This is the first ever Hostel I stayed at in Thailand and it was amazing. Exceeded my expectations. Super clean, comfortable and big rooms. Superb common spaces, bathrooms, dining area and reception. Amazing team and cute corners. It is 2 minutes walking from the bus stand and the night market. Accessible yet very quiet and private. The hostel can help you with renting a bike, major attractions and group tours. I even got an early checkin. Definitely staying here on my next visit.

    The nice and large lockers didn't close completely.. there was a small gap in which a small hand could fit.. Not so bad in the end but I prefer to know that my locker is 100% closed.
