Absolutely loved our stay here at Backpack Hostel. First of all, it's a perfect location - 2 minutes walk from where our bus arrived. And literally around the corner from the night market. Ness was very helpful and welcoming. He really takes care of us. And also organized us on a slow boat ticket to Laos which was very smooth. The rooms are clean and have powerful air conditioning. The rooftop is also a great spot to sit and have a drink while watching the sunset. Would definitely recommend.

I booked for 2 nights, but extended my stay for more nights. Super clean and comfortable place to stay. Matt the owner is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is nice, free tea and coffee all day. Very good location too. I cycled to the White temple and the blue temple is very close by to walk to. Chiang Rai is a lovely place to chill out for a week to 10 days, not as hectic as Chiang Mai. Sunday night market is nearby and it's fantastic to visit.

What a great find! I came across the newly opened Secret Corner boutique hostel in Chiang Rai, - everything is brand new and super clean, + the WiFi is amazing! The dorm rooms are smartly laid out and the beds are v comfortable. The central location makes for easy access to nearby centre bars & restaurants. The other guests were from Asia and the far side of Europe making for some great discussions! Highly recommended.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The best hostel I stayed in during my trip. the design is beautiful, the place is extremely clean, it’s less than a minute from the bus station. The owner and staff were absolutely lovely, trusting and took great care of me. I loved that there are laundry facilities and a cute kitchen and hang out area. I always felt my stuff was safe. Note that there are strict house rules. The hostel also offered some very comprehensive tours of Chiang Mai’s attractions

Great location near bus station and walking street. Lots of bars and restaurants nearby. Hostel very laidback and has a reggae bar feel to it. No beer sold here but 7/11 round corner. Weed available too. Would recommend. Stopped in dormitory for 3 nights.
