The Cabin Backpackers Hostel & Bar

Very friendly staff, clean hostel, nice comy beds, very nice outside area to sit and work, good location, wifi is working all the time, sometimes in the evening we had events like game nights, all in all it was just a very nice vibe and i felt like home. Just one thing: if you want to meet people and socialize this hostel is okay but maybe others are better. I mean there were many people but everyone seemed to do things on their own. When they organize Hostel nights then you can meet people. And also the staff tried to connect us together which was very nice. So if you want to have a chill, clean experience or do remote work, this is perfect.

The staff here are absolutely amazing, location is great. Not too far from the party scene in chiang mai and close to other busy hostels. I have now stayed here twice prior to travelling to pai and after pai too. I came back to the hostel on my birthday where the staff came out with a cake and sang happy birthday. This was a really nice touch for me and would definitely be staying here if I’m ever in chiang mai again. The fact that some of beds are pods rather than bunk beds is a nice choice too. Thankyou for a wonderful stay cabin hostel

Lovely little hostel near the city centre. Nice chilled atmosphere, tasty breakfast and comfy beds. Owner and staff are so nice.

It’s such a beautiful and chilled out hostel ! The beds are comfy with lights and charging points. ACs work well. But what makes it amazing is the super amazing and lovely staff (all the day shift and morning shift staff) who are all there dedicated to making you have a lovely time at the chilled out hostel. It’s quite close to lots of bars and other more party hostels if you would like to go out out. But I would highly recommend you stay here at this more chilled out hostel

Nothing really. Maybe they can improve their showers a bit more but they seemed to work and was decent enough for a hostel !

The pod rooms are so cool. A small space, but a private space. I was staying here for 4 nights, so it made it so easy to not have to cramp up everything inside a locker each day. The staff was very friendly, helped me out in planning the day trip to the Elephant Sanctuary. They even helped me extend a day at the last minute when I couldn't get bus tickets out of the city after the Lantern Festival. The best part of the stay was the Loy Krathong festival day. We sat together and made floating lanterns together. It was such a joyous activity. The hostel even served free dinner to everyone that evening. And then we walked around the city, floated our krathongs in the river, and had a lovely time. Made some nice friends here. Also, the location of the hostel is just perfect- between the Old Town and the river- making it convenient to walk around to almost all the places you might want to visit.

The first couple of evenings it seemed the hostel absolutely lacked any vibes. In contrast, the neighbouring Stamps hostel was way too loud and full of people. I guess I was looking for something in between- not too loud, yet able to meet new people. So that was a little disappointing. I wished they had some activities each day at the hostel, so as to enable more interaction among guests. But then the Krathong making activity made up for it- it looked like ours was the only hostel doing something like this and it was so much fun.

You get your own private space (I went for the pods on the third floor), plenty of communal space and food downstairs if you don't feel like venturing far / want to socialise. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and there's loads of tours to book directly through the front desk. Location is right in the heart of the Old City.

Great hostel with amazing staff. Everyone is very welcoming and try to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The hostel rooms are big, but they haven’t packed loads of bunk beds in the rooms which is great. So annoying when you want to unpack but have nowhere to put your bag! They have spacious lockers, with key number denoting which bed you are staying in. They have air con which comes on automatically early evening and I think goes off at 9am. More than one mirror in the room so you don’t have to wait to use them!! With electrical sockets nearby. The communal area is great to grab a drink from their bar and sit and chill while listening to their music. Upstairs they have a chill out zone, with a TV and games console and darts board and some books/magazines.

The room only had one toilet and one shower. So you may have to wait in the morning.

The most comfortable mattress and pillows I met during my 10 days trip in North of Thailand. It was clean, not noisy, the rooms are huge which turned out to be really important. It didn’t feel like were was someone bothering you although there were others in the room. The staff is great. The location is superb. Thanks. After coming back to Koh Samui I remember this place as a good start for exploring Chiang Mai province.

The staff were incredibly helpful (they even printed off my medical insurance documents for me). The breakfasts were delicious. The atmosphere was great. Easy to book excursions and easy access to things like laundry, convenience shops. Great location for night life, too.

That I couldn't stay longer! The only complaints I would have were outside of the control of the owner and staff. The guys at The Cabin Backpackers Hostel and Bar always went out of their way to resolve any issues.

the semi-private single rooms are pretty cool. The owner, Mike, has been a great chat, and the staff members are all super welcoming and friendly. The entire premise is kept extremely clean; despite being simplistic, it was a very comfortable stay. Close to 7-11 and laundromat, right outside the old city wall, 5-10 minutes wall to a bunch of cafes and diners.

The bed isn’t the highest quality and the shower is a bit meh, but all things consider I highly recommend it.
