Connect Chiang Rai

The hotel is clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly. The provided breakfast was modest but decent if you needed it. The location is a bit of a walk from the center of the tourist area but that was perfect for us because we wanted to eat at more local restaurants. There's a nice lounge area where you can sit and do work or watch tv/play video games. There were people of all ages staying which was nice to see. It's not a party hostel atmosphere. The room was good size and I especially liked the variety of options for lighting. This was a great place for a week long stay so it would work for shorter or longer stays.

We found the wifi to be unreliable with a VPN.

The common area was nice, although a bit hot since there was no air-conditioning. The bed was comfortable and clean and it was really nice to have a in-room bathroom. There was a light free breakfast and a clean kitchen I could use. There were only two other guests when I stayed in the hostel, so the place was really quiet.

The air conditioning in the room didn't work very well and unfortunately that, in a small dorm room with no window, can be very uncomfortable at night time.

A wonderful hostel. The entire place is clean and spacious. There's free breakfast provided for all guests. There's also Netflix, Nintendo Switch and some books. Bicycle is also available to use for free. The dorms are clean too. Towels are provided and there's an attached bathroom and toilet within the dorms itself. The staffs here are kind & helpful people. Over all, everything is excellent. I had a great stay 👍🏻

None at all.

The owner and her daughter (of I got it right, anyway, two ladies at the reception desk) were very helpful and kind.

The family room with private bathroom has no windows. This might have been said in the descriptiom, I am not sure. The receptiom closes around eight, so coming and going after that is a bit complicated, and there is noone to adress for little things you need. For instance, they forgot to replace the towell when cleaning the room, abd I simply had no towell that evening. Breakfast is very simple, and guests are asked to wash the dishes and clean the tables after having it. The whole place is uninviting, so nobody spends time in common areas, and there is no bonding between travellers as it is usually the case in hostels. Beds are very hard.

Nice 10 mins stroll away from the main bars and restaurants and the bus station. Had washing and drying facilities on site if needed. Pancake machine great addition! Plenty of free water available. Games in common room were handy. We stayed in a private room so cannot comment on the dorms. Helpful, friendly staff.

Lots of ants so beware of leaving food unattended on kitchen workshop. Shower trap unfortunately had hair from the previous occupant so perhaps a more thorough clean is required. Fine once I removed it! Overall generally clean :-)

The hostel looks like the pictures and was honestly so nice. The breakfast was delicious they had a pancake mashine😍 and you could do your own laundry for only 20 baht. The female dorm had it's own bathroom and toilet and the location is only a 10min walk from the bus station and night market. It was also very nice that each bed had their own power outlets and curtains. My favourite hostel in Thailand so far!

I don't think they cleaned the private toilets regularly which depending on the room mates can look messy quite easily but it was still fine.

- Free parking - Living room : It's spacious with many seats. The room has many outlets so perfect for work as well. - Living room : Kitchen area. What I like is they have coffee/tea provided all day with cold/hot water. Also they have microwave if you need to reheat some food.

- Room : we sleep in 4 ppl bunk bed room. the downside is the bed is too thin and solid so we had a hard time sleeping. Also because it's thin so it makes sound every time we move. that's including if it's crowded during your stay. you could get awake easily in the morning.

Very nice, well lit, overall clean and comfortable hostel with friendly staff. Drinking water in the common area - which has a gaming console - is fresh and cold which is nice on a warm day. Also has an air purifier which is important during burning season! Was also able to rent a good bike, which although a bit too expensive, was a good service.

Room smelled a bit and panels and walls around the need could use another round of cleaning. Not the hostels's fault, but there were barely anyone staying there (early April during burning season - the worst air pollution in years apparently so might explain it...) so really no atmosphere.

This place was a pleasant surprise. The best thing is the staff, everyone is so pleasant and helpful. The lady who is the owner likes to personally interact with the guests and answers any queries one may have. There is a small free breakfast in the morning which is very convenient to start the day. Every facility that is required for a convenient stay, is available, for eg., laundry, a well equipped and kitchen and dinning area, tour recommendations and bookings. The facilities are available in common area but there is space enough. It is a hostel so the room set up is different but the beds are clean and comfortable, toilets and showers are clean. Location is convenient too, just about 10 minutes walk to the night market, food joints etc. I would highly recommend this place and it is suitable for every kind of traveller; solo, family or groups.

Short walk from bus terminal and central area. Stroll less than 10 minutes from hostel to night bazaar and superb eating opportunities. with the genius discount we had 3 nights in 4 bed bunk room, private facilities for £50. Quiet. pleasant common area. Helpful staff and very good range of tours available. Was a strenuous days trek but the 1 day hill tribe yomp, including superb forest lunch, waterfall & finishing with hot springs was excellent. Our guide Wat had great sense of humour. Day trip to Golden Triangle via the white, blue temples also good.

Large bunks with good privacy but mattress very firm. As we were just 2 in 4 bunk room we doubled them up. Better, but I’m not sure I’d have slept well on just one but then I’m an old fart of 59!
