Chean-Chean House is a lovely small guest house with only 4 rooms and a large common balcony. My room was directly connected to the balcony, which gave us a dining table outside. The room was tastefully decorated and contained a small fridge as well as a kettle. The bed was very comfortable, the en suite bathroom was quite nice with a nice hot shower. Location was in a quiet residential street opposite a Buddhist Temple. The lady that ran the place was very nice, and quite cheerful.

I had an amazing experience at The Secret Corner Hostel! The place is spotless, cozy, and beautifully designed — it truly feels like a home away from home. The staff are incredibly kind, helpful, and always smiling; they went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect during my stay. The location is peaceful but still convenient, close enough to explore the city and local attractions. The beds were super comfortable. I also loved the relaxing common area and the small garden — perfect for unwinding after a day of sightseeing. I would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Chiang Rai — whether you’re traveling solo or with friends, it’s one of the best places to stay in town!

Quiet location a few minutes walk from the city center. Clean, comfortable bed and well maintained shared bathroom. Nice atmosphere of the place and a lot of space in the garden to relax. The owners organize various activities for all guests, such as a family dinner or a sunset and sunrise trip. You can also rent a scooter. An extra social place for young people.

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
