So this is my third time in this hostel. I've picked this place several times because by paying a little bit more than some other hostels you get better sleep. Good and clean beds and room temperature. Rooms are small and it's not a party or social hostel, so good rest is to be expected.It wasn't the case this time. I got a group of chinese and koreans.They were eating food on the ground of the room, which is prohibited, but furthermore it was fish or something with fish sauce making the whole room stink. Told the guy from the reception, didn't have much of an effect since the next day they went and had lunch again in the room.Also, for some reason those are the only "cultures" failing to adapt to a normal hostel schedule, taking showers at 1 am, visiting other people's rooms to chat and slam the door without caring who might be resting in a dormitory.So I complained to the stuff, nothing much was done, told them they had left a racist note insulting me in the bed, they shrugged off.Today was my last day at the hostel, and again thanks to some chinese kids who don't care about anyone else but themselves, I had some very bad sleep due to their door slamming midnight. I have a long and hard motorcycle ride back home, so I explained the situation to the morning manager and politely asked if I could do a late check out to have a little nap after lunch, which agreed (she was the reason I was going to give a 4 star review). To my surprise the guy (reason I am giving a 1 star review) in the afternoon tells me I have to go to the 4th floor to have the nap, where there's some guy playing with his phone (legitimately since this is not a nap zone).I am sorry for sounding like a "Karen", but this has repeated so many times with the same people, I'm just sick of it, and the hostel couldn't have handled it any worse tbh.(This might strike as a racist comment, could be, but I wonder why the signs in the hostel are only in english and chinese highlighted in red, you might need bigger signs). 🤷Edit: Increased the score bit, the lady in the morning came to talk to me and apologized. She is a brilliant worker, keep her.

Nice hostel with light breakfast and good location. I thought it was great that I was allowed into my room 3.5 hours before check-in. Great from the staff. 4 stars because I would have liked a little more support with networking from the hostel, e.g. through joint events in Chiang Mai or a WhatsApp group for the travelers in the hostel.

One of my favorite hostels I’ve stayed at. Very modern, clean, and quiet. Beds were large and comfortable with a dark curtain for your pod. The communal area is large and kept clean and busy but quiet at most hours of the day. Bathrooms were good; showers were okay but several sinks and mirrors which was nice. Large kitchen and fridge which was nice for holding leftovers. Location is perfect as you are a couple hundred meters from the north gate of old town. You can walk anywhere easily or call a grab quickly, too.10/10, will be back!

After visiting the Sunday night market, I came back to the hotel at 10pm and there was no water to take a shower.When I asked the counter staff, he apologized politely and said that water would not be available until tomorrow morning... and there was nothing else that could be done. I had to go to the supermarket to buy bottled water. After eating barbecue at night, my whole body smelled bad and I couldn't sleep at all😞I booked a double room, which is an accommodation with a high unit price. If you encounter this situation, I will consider it if you can accept it.Disadvantages: There is no elevator, which is inconvenient for those with luggage.The room card suddenly didn't sense and couldn't lock the door.

It was my first time with my boyfriend. Contacted via Facebook message. He read it but didn't reply. The room was good, narrow as is typical of hostels, but much bigger than Hong Kong. All the front desk staff provided good service. The price was not expensive. It was near restaurants and the snacks were delicious.
