Amazing experience!! The owner is so nice, and so are the other staff. They give free towels, and arranged a taxi for me to do a morning hike. There’s free coffee, tea, cookies, and bananas.The beds are really comfortable and everything is very clean. Good outlets and wifi. The wifi does not reach the room on the top floor.It’s a 2 minute walk from the Night Bazaar and 10 minutes from the Saturday Night Market. Also 2 minutes from the bus station.They set up a Pu Chi Fa and Pu Chi Dao tour for us that left at 3am to see the sunrise. It was 2800 baht for 4 people (I met three others at the hostel) and very worth it (even though it was foggy). I’d recommend asking about it.When our taxi driver charged us extra for some things, the hostel owner called the company and got us 500 baht back!!! So appreciated.

The owner is one of the best hostel hosts I have ever met!! We got to the hostel before check-in time but she still helped us with booking the train to Luang Prabang, helping us with our Laos visa paperwork, and lent us a bike for the day. She is incredibly kind and super knowledgeable, and we are very grateful for the help she provided us.

I was here end of March, early April and didn't get to write this comment until now. Apple is the BEST host there is and her hostel is just wonderful and very well-located. Everything was super clean, the air-conditioning worked perfectly, the people were nice, Apple baked brownies (out-of-this-world top tier brownies) and cakes for everyone and she was so warm and friendly, she even helped me book a driver for the Phu Chi Fah sunrise. I miss the place already, especially the dog Wesley!!

The rooftop is a nice plus on top.After all, Nez, the guy who works there was my highlight. He knows you by name from the first minute and he is so friendly and eager to help you with everything you need.Thank you Nez for the great time!

Stayed here for two nights the location and facilities at the hostel is very good. The host was amazing, i got into a motorbike acciedent while staying with her and she took me to the hospital and stayed by my side the whole time making sure i was okay. Even though i was a solo traveller she made me feel so welcome and less alone. i would really recommend staying here it has been my favourite place since coming to asia.

I absolutely loved my stay here! As soon as I walked in, the host Apple made me and my friend feel so welcomed and at home. The hostel itself is very lovely with a nice rooftop hangout and very comfortable beds. Both Apple and the staff were so kind! Apple was especially helpful in figuring out and booking day travels (would recommend the jungle trek), how best to get around, booking to Laos, and everything in between! She is so genuine and I shared some wonderful conversations with her and some good cuddles with her adorable dog Wesley. Will be staying again next time I’m in Chiang Rai!!
