Everything was very good about the place, the only bad thing is the internet doesn't really work. We wanted to use the internet daily for work and it just wasn't reliable. They have computers you can use, which work fine, but they need a new router.

I loved this place. It's got a home like vibe to it, and it's in a good location, if you don't mind walking. My friend and I stayed here for a week, and we didn't use a tuk tuk/taxi for any of the attractions, except when we went on treks (i.e. elephants, tigers, temples, cooking school and so on). As for the night, saturday and sunday market, china town and temples, we walked their and back, but we like walking. The hostel is really clean and quiet. They will give you a map and advice.

Stella and Nine are awesome! We had a great stay here, extending our one night to three. Nine helped us book everything we needed and the rooms were great. We stayed in a double, a single and a twin while there and all the rooms were clean and comfortable. For Chiang Mai the hostel is definitely a little way out from all the bars and nightlife but tuk tuks are cheap. Just make sure you have a map on you to show where you're going! I would definitely recommend this place!

I HIGHLY recommend staying here!! Stella is an absolute riot of a hostess and Nine runs a tight ship but she can also get you some solid deals of trips and services in the area. They are a great 1-2 punch. We had a very nice stay here as the room was very clean, the common areas were very well kept and the whole place has a great energy.

Great for single travelers in the upstairs dorm, but note that the private rooms with air con can get very noisy (two are downstairs) so you hear everyone ringing the door bell when they come in. Nice staff, great place if you want to do trips and book with them, but location is not the best if you want to be RIGHT near everything.

Everything about Green Tulip House is special, from the ladies that operate it, to the overly-clean rooms and charming decor. The guest house is in a great location; right around the corner from the Sunday Market. The restaurant downstairs is the perfect place to get a meal in between activities, and to meet other travellers staying at the hostel. We used this space as a meeting point a lot. Stay here but book early- it is the best value in Chiang Mai!

Highly recommended hostel in the heart of Chiang Mai. The staff (Nine and Stella) are very happy to help you out, and offer a friendly environment to stay in! The rooms were very clean and the amenities were also well kept after. I'd recommend this hostel to everyone!

Nine was great. Very helpful to help book trips and get some discounts also. Location is a bit of a walk to the night market, but easily doable on foot or quickly by Tuk Tuk. The staff made the trip enjoyable

It's an OK hostel, but the character is not very nice, as it is very rectangular shaped and doesn't feel more than an apartment hotel. The staff tries to make up for it though.

At the end of the old town a bit to far to walk to the bars (my personal opinion) but the Hostel itself is very very nice, clean, new and the staff is very helpful. I personally found it a bit too expensive but again, this is my personal opinion. The roof garden is very nice and clean!!!

Once again The Green Tulip House has outdone themselves. This was my third time staying with them. They are like family now. This is truly the best hotel type experience I've ever had. The staff is what makes it such a great place. They really put their guest first. It is also very clean, they are always cleaning. Green Tulip you the best!

The breakfast is just toast and jam, but the coffee makes up for it! Mmm... You can book tours through the front desk (usually at a discount!) and we highly recommend the Siam Rice cooking school. The owners are a little crazy but in a wonderful, accommodating, super fun way!
