9 Hostel

We paid in advance, but when we came the room was given. No sorry, only: here is your money and go. High season.. It means: i don't care about costumers only about the money. So we left. Again no sorry. So if you look for a honest place in Chiang mai. DON'T GO THERE.

This place had the best value for money of any of the hostels we’ve stayed in in Thailand. It’s so cheap for a big double room with an en-suite. Yes you bring your own toiletries and the decor is simple as expected but most certainly worth the money. The previous reviews suggest an A/C room is best but this would be expected with the climate in Thailand. The fan and AC are very powerful and the comfortable beds made for a good nights’ sleep. The host is also wonderful and can’t do enough to help, they let us leave the bags in a secure room on the last day and still use the hostel facilities. The water pressure is very good, they have exercise and reading equipment as well as a communal sofa area. Drinking water, a kettle and microwave is also provided. The location is good for shops and restaurants/bars. The hostel is generally quite quiet due to the concrete floors and safe from the lockable gate at night. Washing machines and areas to hang clothes in the hostel area are very helpful for travellers. Everything you could ask for from a cheap and cheerful hostel.

Gone into out new hostel and the room is vile. Hasn’t been cleaned - cobwebs and rubbish all over the floor. There’s two plug sockets, one of which doesn’t work whilst the other is falling off the wall. The state of the sink is indescribable as how dirty and disgusting it is, the toilet is covered in mould on the seat and there’s little things hanging off the ceiling we don’t know what it is. There’s lose cables just in the room and the staff were very unhelpful and almost seemed to find it funny
