    Everything, the staff are incredibly friendly and always happy to offer advice and to help book tours or travel. Comfy clean communal area as well as a kitchen where you can cook and eat with other guests. Beds are very comfy and the rooms/hostel are cleaned regularly throughout the day. Location is perfect, central in the old city. Close to temples, cafes, restaurants...anything you need really is close by. Thank you for a great stay.

    Little space to place our belongings by the bathroom sink without getting them wet. But everything else was near perfect!

    They let me take a shower before checking in as I arrived very early in the morning. The lady at the reception was super helpful with booking tours and I was in a mixed 4pax bedroom, but we were mostly girls most nights. I thought this was very thoughtful of them.

    I appreciate the no shoe policy, but staff should enforce it more strictly as many people entered with their shoes on.

    The staff were superb. They immediately made me feel like a friend, and answered all my questions about the city and what to do. The room was very taken care of, round the clock cleaning and air conditioning works well. Showers were acceptably clean and had hooks + free shampoo.

    Very nice hostel, perfect location among temples and next to Sunday market . Plenty of eating places around, 7/11 in the corner. Very kind staff, super helpful with everything you need , they helped me with the bit to Laos also giving me a better price. Laundry service, well equipped kitchen, lots of toilets and showers, new and clean rooms and equipment. Not a party hostel but the common room or the tables outside are nice to have a chat if you want

    Wasn't a fan of the shared bathroom, which were male+female together. Also, bedsheets were kind of grainy and scratchy. I stayed in another hostel nearby before this one (private room also) and felt like the other place offered more for less money, so take that into account.

    I stayed in a private room so I couldn't speak of the dorms, but it was spacious. However, there was no private bathroom (probably didn't notice while booking). The location was great.

    Nothing. I kept extending my stay, and I returned again after visiting Pai and Chiang Rai.

    Great location, awesome staff, comfortable beds. Probably the cleanest hostel I've stayed at. Kind staff helped me with planning my trip, booking bus tickets, restaurant recommendations, everything. Met lots of people and we all went to the Muy Thai fights together. Perfect location right next to lots of temples, restaurants, and the Sunday night market!

    That I was only stopping by for one night!

    The reception staff were friendly. Although my room was not ready on arrival, I was made to feel welcomed and comfortable in the hostel and as soon as the room became available I was shown absolutely everything. Impressive bathroom sink & shower has good water pressure.

    The walls were very thin so you could really hear the other rooms/ other people in the hostel. Would still recommend the hostel overall though.

    Really comfy bed. Spacious room. Staff were lovely and the location was great for the Sunday night market and other sights in the old town.

    The rooms were in the 3rd and 4th floor and it's a bit hard to climb up especially if you have big luggage.

    I travelled with friends and was able to book the family room with 6 beds (3 bunk beds). The beds were comfy and they provided comforter/duvet. The shared bathroom (toilet and bath) were always clean. And the receptionist was really friendly!

    What I really didn’t like was the they tried to trick me. I did book a dorm bed in a 4 bed room. With my booking I asked for lower bunk bed. I don’t know if they forgot it and gave all the lower beds to other people, but the girl at the receptions tried to put me in a 8 bed dorm room for the same price! Well, sleeping in a from with 7 other people is cheaper and than with 3 others. I was offer only 62 Baht (close to 1,60€) discount if I stayed in the bigger room. Also during my entire stay of 7 night, there wasn’t a single other girl in my room. They only sent guys … upon asking why are all the other girls downstairs in the other rooms, I was told that they all came in groups and what so ever. Somehow I find is difficult to believe that in 7 nights/8 days not a single other girl booked this hostel. In general, the hostel is not very social. It’s difficult to meet other people

    In total a very calm hostel. It’s located next to the Wat Phra Singh and also the Sunday night market is just 1 min walk away. 7 eleven is around the corner and plenty of massage places. From the reception they give you a list with suggestions on where to have breakfast, coffee, lunch and dinner. The guy who is cleaning the hostel, did very good job. Laundry was done very good as well for a reasonable price
