Overall, I very much enjoyed my stay here, and I was very impressed by the quality of this hostel. I'm glad that I found this place and I would certainly stay again if I ever had to. The bed was extremely comfortable, the curtains provided plenty of privacy, and the entire property is very clean and well-kempt. On the other hand, I felt that the room got warm at night, as if the AC had been turned down in the evenings, and the AC remote control was often missing from the room, so we couldn't control the temperature. Also, I was told that I could only use the pool between 7:30AM to 10:00PM, and I would've loved if it was open for longer hours. Finally, I love that the hostel provided herbal shampoo and body soap, but I wish they had provided some hand soap as well.

Super tijd gehad!

Ik heb enorm genoten van mijn verblijf in dit hostel. Super service en alles is gewoon goed geregeld. Bedden slapen goed en voldoende privacy. Toiletten en douches zijn goed. Zwembad is ideaal in de warme tijd. Het personeel staat altijd voor je klaar. Al met al een dikke 10!

Best hostel in the world..(!!)

This is probably the best hostel I’ve ever stayed at globally. It is exceptional in every way. The design is fantastic, I really like the beds with curtains to provide a private space and the poured concrete sinks. The showers are grand. The balconies are fantastic. The cleanliness is next to no other. They make your bed every day and provide a fresh towel and bottle of water daily. The pool is absolutely wonderful, better than the hotel I stayed at in the area that was treble the price, with plenty of chairs around to soak up the sun. The area is nice, with two cute vintage shops next door and a cafe for your flat white in the morning. I basically feel as if the hostel was designed with a traveler such as myself in mind (mid to late 20s, design centred, vaguely hipster). The entire thing is fantastic and the icing on the cake is the staff who are absolute gems! They always were willing to chat and consistently greeted me with a giant warm smile. I would recommend this to anyone coming to Chiang Mai and cannot wait to be back.

Very chilled and enjoyable stay

I really liked this hostel. The dorm beds are really comfortably spacious and private. There's a personal light, socket and free bottle of water as well as a curtain which blocked out most of the room light. The shower offered free shower gel and shampoo. It was clean! The pool is a decent size and had a number of beds around it. There's a restaurant 2 doors a long that served food you could eat by the pool. It was great to chill, relax and catch up on sleep.
