I can't praise this hostel enough, the lady who runs it is an absolute darling and couldn't have been more helpful or kind, I would recommend this hostel to anyone and everyone. I booked one night and ended up staying 5.

There is no wi fi, you will have to go about 2 streets to get 1 hour for 10bath, which is very cheap!

Ants everywhere, dogs fighting in the streets around property, staff there some of the time, very little support in booking tours. Stayed one night and cancelled the rest of stay.

Stay in this hostel more than 2 nights, youre subject to receive a discount in other 5 of our chain hostels , HI Phuket,HI Bangkok Centre Sukhumvit 25, and HI Ban kruit private beach,HI Bangsaen."....Chiang Mai is Thailand's 2nd largest city located at approximately 700 km north-west of Bangkok. Chiang Mai has over 300 temples - almost as many as in Bangkok. Many visitors stay in Chiang Mai longer than planned because of high quality and low price of accommodation, food and shopping, the international feel of the city and the friendliness of the people. Not all the foreigners you see in Chiang Mai are tourists - many live in Chiang Mai part time or year-round. Chiang Mai International Airport also serves as the tourist hub of Southern China and Indo-China region ...."
