The best hostel I"ve ever been to - bungalows in a huge garden close to the beautiful city, and a meeting-point in the center of the garden with couches, computers, bar etc. Supernice staff and very helpful owner offering all services and tours. It was like paradise and I will definately come back!

The hostel is slightly out of the way and it is located on a one way street so taxi drivers always try to charge you extra. I arranged pickup from the train station, unfortunately my train was 3 hours late and no-one waited for me. However, they did agree when I asked to drop me off at the airport. The bathrooms are not enclosed, so you have mosquito issues. The rooms have airconditioning and beds are clean, if a bit hard for western tastes. The staff did arranged tours for me which was good.

Lovely bungalows in an attractive garden, with a great open sided communal area. Lots of easy chairs, so great place to hang out and meet other guests. Staff lovely. Only downside is that it is not particularly close the the centre of town. I would recommend nonetheless.

Lovely little place to stay. The staff is warm and friendly, and the food at dinner is very good and very reasonably priced.

I stayed during January in a double bedroom ensuite bathroom. The room was a semi-detached bungalo which was adorable. There was a great lounging area under a covered patio, with hammocks, comfy chairs and tables and computers. The garden was lovely as well - there ARE chickens running around (which I loved!). Doesn't feel like you're in the city at all! The staff are very helpful at arranging excursions for you and giving directions.

After a free pickup from the airport we transferred to the hostel where a clean secure room awaited. We awoke in the morning to the crows of cockerels in the lush gardens. The charm of this hostel was a large covered outdoor area to chill out, eat or catch up on the internet. Our host was very good at matching up people to share tours and adventures.

This was an excellent hostel, the staff are awesome and go beyond to help with bookings and advice. Can't recommend this place enough, also they were serving food at night which was delicious if you were having a lazy night.

They accidentally gave our room to someone else, but they were very apologetic and gave us a different room for free. I was very impressed by their customer service.

Wonderful garden oasis in Chiang Mai with by far the friendliest staff ever. They go out of their way to assist you. The computers and 24/7 free coffee and toast is a plus. Outdoor bathroom is very clean and so are the rooms. The mattresses are quite hard and it takes a good 20min walk to get to the good part of the moat.

The hostel was great, mostly due to the staff. They were super helpful in helping us plan our trip and recommending where to go and not go. The rooms were good: quaint, tidy and clean. The bathroom was alright, but it got the job done. Unfortunately, no breakfast, but the free toast and tea/coffee definitely helps! I would definitely come back here again :)

Our flight was late for almost two hours so we arrived after 11pm but were pleasantly surprised that a guy from the hostel was still waiting for us at the airport as agreed. We were staying for the New Year's eve, and the hostel provided some nice thai food for all the guests at dinner, home-made coconut ice-cream with chocolate brownies were delicious!

Our stay at the hostel was absolutely wonderful. We booked over new years and had the privilege to stay in clean, relatively comfortable rooms. The hostel has lots of space and is mostly quiet but open to socializing. The staff is extremely accommodating, helpful, and ready to answer any questions and help arrange transport, reservations, etc. Over new years, the hostel provided a wonderful meal where we ate delicious food and had a wonderful time meeting new people. Thanks!

This was a beautiful open villa style guesthouse with plenty of clean bathrooms available. The beds and rooms are very clean and the staff is just unbeatable. They are such a friendly group and are the most caring of their guests.

I really enjoyed my time at this place. The grounds were pretty and it was just far enough from the main part of town to be nice and quiet. Having said that town and temples were only a 10 minute walk away. The staff were friendly and tried to help as much as possible. There's free toast and tea/coffee available 24/7 which was nice. I'd definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our visit there. The garden setting of the hostel is very relaxing with a nice area to sit, check email and eat breakfast. The staff was uniformly nice and went out their way to be helpful. A wonderful experience!
