Chiang Mai Hostels

The staff gave excellent recommendations. The facilities are complete, with separate toilet, shower, and a dedicated area for washing face, brushing teeth, and even a hairdryer/makeup vanity for ladies. It's close to food sources, so you can easily buy food or order it to the accommodation. There's a common area and a bar where you can chill out and have a drink with friends. It's a shared room but offers a good level of privacy. Most importantly, it's clean and safe! 

Conveniently located near One Nimman, along with streets lined with cafes and shops. Very clean and cozy. The room includes a TV, hair dryer, shower gel, shampoo, cotton balls, cotton swabs, and shower caps. The shower has constant hot water. There's no refrigerator or kettle in the room, but these are available in the dining area next to reception. There's a pot of hot water, tea bags, instant coffee, and tableware. There's also one refrigerator for all guests, stocked with baskets. Each room has its own labeled basket. Very convenient. When you check in, you'll find rubber slippers in cloth bags in your room. Earplugs are located above the bed. Bottled water is replenished daily. The small walk-in closet is very convenient. Breakfast comes in two flavors, each stylishly presented: 1. Omelet, 2 sausages, 2-3 slices of toast, some vegetables; 2. Something like shakshuka with chicken and mushrooms, 2-3 slices of toast. Overall, the staff does a great job. There was one disappointing issue, which we've listed in the cons. Cons: The hotel staff couldn't help us book a transfer to Chiang Rai. We needed a private car. Upon request, we were advised to take the bus from the bus station. This is a first for us in many years of traveling to different countries, where hotels have always helped us arrange transfers to other cities or airports. Our cards don't work abroad, so we couldn't use 12go to book a transfer ourselves. The sink only had cool water. Every day, breakfast was limited to eggs. We had to buy our own fruit, greens, and muesli.

Location is actually right in the middle of everything. Very easy to go around, eating places, massage places, market etc all just within walking distance. The place can be tricky to find, but to make your life easier, search for Hard Rock Cafe in Chiang Mai and it’s just a walk to the opposite. You will see a small massage shop called Cloud and a noodles shop on the same row, opposite there’s a booth to book for tours, don’t hesitate, walk in and you will see the sign minitel. Staff is not available after 4pm but they leave your keys up front which is very easy to check in, just make sure to register the next day. If you need any other amenities, ask at the front desk. I asked for the hairdryer. They have washing machines and dryer available but you need to make sure you have 10 baht coins available to use it. Room is very small but just enough for me as a solo traveler. Bathroom was surprisingly spacious but draining doesn’t seem too amazing, water heater is not hot enough in my opinion because I’m easily cold and weather in chiangmai is cold. Theres also a water machine available in front for clean drinking water, there’s jugs inside your room that you can use it to fill up with water and keep in your room and drink with the cups in it. It’s a very nice detail.

I really enjoyed my stay at Nap and Nomad Hostel Phae Gate in Chiang Mai. The facilities are modern, clean, and well designed, which made my stay very comfortable. The staff were wonderful and genuinely caring — always friendly and ready to help, making the whole place feel welcoming and homey. One of my favorite parts of the hostel is the lovely café garden inside the property. It’s a peaceful space with plenty of room to sit, chat, and meet other travelers or just relax with friends. They also offer motorbike rentals directly at the hostel, which is super convenient if you want to explore Chiang Mai and the surrounding areas. The location is great as well, only a few minutes’ walk from the Old Town. From here you can easily visit places like Tha Phae Gate, Wat Chedi Luang, Wat Phra Singh, and the lively Chiang Mai Night Bazaar. There are also plenty of cafés, local food spots, and markets nearby, so everything is within easy reach. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Chiang Mai!

The hostel locate in good location, easy to walk around Nimman and Maya. The owner and staffs are friendly and helpful. The room is clean and comfortable. Good experiences to stay here, and I will come back.

This was my first solo trip, and I wanted to try a shared room – I definitely made a great choice! This place is fantastic, close to everything. When I booked, the price was really good, so I assumed breakfast wouldn't be included. But when I checked in, the staff member told me, 'Breakfast is included in this price!' I was like, 'Huh?!' Three nights, all-inclusive, for just 1000 baht! 😆 The air conditioning was cold, the water was cold, it was quiet, and I slept incredibly well. If I get the chance to come back (to fulfill a vow), I'll definitely stay here again!

It was a great experience! They have an escalator in the building, so no need to worry about your heavy luggage. The area was very quiet but located 10 minutes from the centre by a motorbike, I found it very convenient. I had a great stay, my apartment had everything I needed. Also it was an easy self check-in and check-out. All instructions were sent to my messenger in advance. Thank you for a great experience 💖🙌🏼

owner is very cool, his wife is beautiful, and his younger sibling is kind and lovely. This is a small private-room hostel with a restaurant on the first floor. It’s a cozy place, and if you meet good neighbors, it becomes even better. I only stayed for one night, but it reminded me how important basic manners are. There was a big Western guest who walked very loudly, which was a bit uncomfortable. But I also witnessed a very kind moment: early in the morning, the owner’s sibling came to help a foreign female guest who couldn’t reach the door handle and was locked out. That small act of kindness really stayed with me. Wherever you go, it’s not about nationality it’s about the person. Kind people are kind everywhere, and selfish people are selfish everywhere. Overall, this hostel is excellent. Highly recommended.

Everything in this hostel was fine overall. However, although I booked an AC room, I was given a fan room instead. When I asked the staff about it, they said that all the AC rooms were already occupied. At first, I decided to adjust because I was too exhausted from the day. Unfortunately, the fan was moving at a bullock-cart speed, which made the situation even more frustrating. I spoke to the staff again, and they politely suggested that I check another fan room that was available at the time. I checked it, but it was in the same condition. By then, a few hours had already passed since my check-in because I had taken a bath and slept for a while due to exhaustion. Later, I realised what a grave mistake I had made, as I simply could not bear the heat in the room. So, I opened the door and the balcony window, only to find that mosquitoes started coming in during the evening. I could not sleep the whole night and finally managed to fall asleep around 4 AM. Although I later closed both the door and the window, it was already too late. Despite everything that happened, the staff’s behaviour was very polite and helpful, and I truly appreciate them for that. Anyway, please make sure you are given an AC room if you book one.

This is a classic old hotel, about 8 km from the airport. The elevator is there but out of service, so you have to take the stairs. Checking in was a bit confusing at first – where's the front desk staff? It turns out you check in via an automated kiosk. If you look confused, a staff member will come to help you. The air conditioning works great. The wooden wardrobe is broken and very vintage. The old parquet flooring has a great vibe. The bathroom is decorated in the style of an old school toilet from 1987 – luckily, there's still hot water and a comfortable toilet. The bed is very soft, accompanied by the sound of planes taking off periodically. After midnight, it's quiet until 8 AM. The hotel is on the main road, with pubs, massage parlors, and restaurants nearby. It's perfect for backpackers or ghost hunters, focusing on a casual solo stay or with friends for content creation. For just over 600 baht, just sleep it off, morning will come eventually. So many stories! This is the first hotel I've booked that left me utterly baffled, and I really wanted to write a review about it! 😂😂😂 Go check it out!
