We stayed here for four nights and highly recommend it. This hostel, newly opened in Chiang Mai, is run by an incredibly helpful team who provided us with valuable tips to make the most of our visit. They recommended the best tours, restaurants, and laundry services. The Harry Potter–themed décor is fantastic, and both the cleanliness and friendliness of the staff are outstanding. We strongly suggest everyone stop by—you won’t regret it!

I could not recommend this hostel enough. I arrived very early morning and George was so kind. Gives you a warm welcome and is always so lovely to the guests. They even provide complimentary food items in their lovely chilled common area. The whole hostel was extremely clean and as a solo traveller I felt 100% safe. Thank you so much George & family!🤗

We loved the big room with its french doors on to the terrace and quirky, stylish decor. The breakfast was excellent, and we appreciated the opportunity to try different Thai dishes each day. Being in the old city we could walk to the night markets and all the attractions.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The staff and the Hostel. Warm and welcoming, clean and modern. I kept extending my stay and stayed for almost two weeks. The ladies that work there and the owner are super helpful and friendly and ready to help with anything. Free filter water and coffee and tea, they have a fridge and microwave you can use and you can do your laundry and use the tumbledryer for cheap. Great mobile coffee van right around the corner. Sunday night street market right behind them. Safe to walk around at night.

Great location, small social yet quiet no party hostel, met lovely people here. Very good value for money, good aircon, clean, clean bathroom and bedding, very pleasant atmosphere and common area to relax, study, read, work..very helpful and kind hosts. There is a small spa just at the corner run by a sweet lady who also does laundry at a very good price, very convenient. Felt very safe here and slept really well in the female dorm. Locker keys and fresh towel are provided at 300 Baht deposit. I’ll be back.

Great location. Bed is comfortable, and if not comfortable, you can ask for different mattress or pillow. Clean bathroom. Large hostel so very social. You can meet a lot of new people from here. Cafe just next to the hostel But I liked the very cheap local breakfast just downstairs of the hostel.
