Very clean hostel, comfortable bed, perfect location and amazing staff (especially cha cha) I’m in love with the staff there, they treat you as a friend more than a guest. The vibe and the type of people I met there was above the expectations, I made a lot of new friends from different nationalities.

Staff was friendly and helpful 🤗 Even if it is a bit far from the main street (nice 10 min walk), they have an amazing view of the mountains and the Big Buddha and a little stairway that leads you to the small river. This was a big plus! 💪🏼

I love its location. It’s very near to everything in Ching Mai. The crew was phenomenal, they speak good English, also one speaks Spanish. They even gave me medicine when I had a bad stomach.

Nice and cheap hostel attached to a fancy hotel. Was nice to have access to the pool and gym. The beds are comfortable with shelf, light and black out curtain. Good storage for belongings with padlock provided. Close to resteraunts, shops and a night market. A little way to the historical park but easy enough to get to by tuk tuk or bicycle (which you can use for free from the hostel). I'd stay here again.

Very cheap. Great location. Fantastic owners. There are so many things to like about this accommodation, but the owners really take the cake for me. A convenient location to temples and markets, all while being off the main road to allow for a quieter experience. They also have a great little balcony that is a good place for some people watching and chilling out.

A wonderful place to stay for backpackers. The location is amazing, the facilities are great. The owners Neung and Bpern are amazing people! They were so friendly to me, I felt right at home for these couple of days❤️ P'Neung told me about how this hostel came to life and I was so impressed, there is so much effort and hard work behind it all. I'm sad my trip was so short, I'd love to stay for a little bit longer!
