The Cabin Backpackers Hostel & Bar

Youth hostel

👍👍 Very friendly, helpful and attentive staff. Always offering great advice or down for a chat. Location is great and in a quiet area at night. Rooms were kept well and clean, and beds easy to sleep in. Would recommend for a first time in Chiang Mai and repeat visits.

Tangmo House Chiang Mai

Youth hostel

👍👍 When I arrived with dirty injuries the owner wife helped me clean my wounds for a good hour without excepting anything in return. I am grateful and she's the only reason my wounds aren't infected. It's not a party hostel, it's cozy with good prices and a comfortable bed.

Bodega Social Hostel Chiang Mai

Hostel

😠 Man a lot has changed. Used to be the best place in town. Came back this year to find Bodega managed by some clown named Gary who obviously doesn’t know squat about operating. Dead quiet every day, no staff training, terrible menu. What a joke. Sad to see bodega come to this.

4.50 (88 reviews) (~2.27 km from centre)

Haus Hostel

Youth hostel

👍 The place was clean and new. Good rooftop for beers and socializing. The only downsides were the beds were very hard, and the staff wasn't very engaging. Good free breakfast where you can make your own eggs.

4.50 (72 reviews) (~2.55 km from centre)
