    Everything was perfect. The place is the cleaniest, showers have a strong stream, a comfy terrace with fresh water. Recommended. I stayed in a dorm of 4. The AC was very good, as well.

    This did not effect us, but the check in counter closes around 5pm. I think there is a form of self check-in if no one is there so should be no problem.

    The accommodation was nicely in the city so we were pleased with the accessibility to nearby places for food and coffee shops. The room itself was also very nice and clean and the beds comfy as well. The staff was nice though a bit short-spoken. We also liked that we were able to rent a motorbike at our accommodation as well making commuting in Chiang Rai fun and easy. They were also able to provide us with free water during our stay and had simple options for breakfast the next morning (also free of charge).

    The location is fine during the day, but feels sketchy at night, we didn’t feel like going for a walk in the evening around there, but just grabbed something to eat from the nearby local market and went back to the hotel. We saw a rat on the street and quite a few big cockroaches on the sidewalk.

    The place was very clean - we had to take off our shoes before going upstairs, which was good. The staff was very friendly and nice.

    Location isn't the prettiest road but you are minutes away from loads of places and travel prices are low.

    Really nice standard double room for the price. Comfy bed. Friendly staff. Central location, handy for most places. 7 eleven 4 minutes away. Laundry and drying machine on rooftop for use, with communal eating area with dishes and microwave. Very handy.

    The shared bathrooms weren't the cleanest, but they weren't super dirty either. Note that the check-in closes at 5pm - they have self check-in if necessary, but it's better to make it there before 5pm.

    I only stayed one night here, but had a great time. The room was clean and had what I needed (AC/comfy bed/coat rack). The design was also super nice. Location and staff were awesome as well.

    Be careful the floor is slippery (take off your socks for more safety 😅) and the mattress was a little bit hard for my small weight.

    The emplacement is very good, the staff was very nice and helpful. You’ve got a book with all the things to do around at the reception to plan your journey there 😊 and I love the decoration of the place also ! The rooftop is really nice place to chill

    Tongsiam is a great place to stay because it is close to the clocktower and a cool part of Chiang Rai, but it is also just far enough away for the streets to be quiet at night. In addition, the hostel will have a few people there but never too many people -- this makes it a perfect place to relax, read/write, and sleep.
