6-Bed Dormitory -- Female Only
Stayed 5 nights in February 2018

A great budget hostel, located outside of the Old City, but less than 1 minute walk to Old City”

This is hostel is about a 5 minute walk from the North Gate of the old city (you can enter the city right across the street though). The North Gate has a staging area for the songtheaws to Doi Suthrep, and a number of other sites further out, mostly going north and west of the city. Their is a great cafe next door called Freedom House, but for more food and other things you need to enter the Old City. Lots of restaurants, 7-11s, shops, massage parlours (not sketchy ones), and temples within easy walking distance. Potae will help you arrange various tours. Lockers are more like a locked drawer which was big enough to fit my laptop, and souvenirs. The female capsule dorm was great. Very comfortable and clean. In response to another comment I saw: I did see them change the sheets with every new person. Would definitely stay here again.

Great budget guesthouse/hostel!”

Friendly staff, clean and great location

My girlfriend and I stayed in the private room and our friend stayed in the dorm for a few nights in early April. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The private is a tight squeeze, it fits the double bed (like most of Thailand, just two singles pushed together), and not much else. The aircon worked almost too well and the wifi worked better than anywhere we've stayed in Thailand. There's a separate industrial router for each floor. Potae, the owner, is wonderful! She is super nice and helpful. We rented three scooters and she got us a good discount on the rentals. Potae was usually out on the patio chatting with us in the morning during breakfast. Although breakfast is included, it consists of toast and coffee. But for the price, I didn't expect too much more. The instant coffee/hot cocoa is available all day as well. We ended up checking out because Potae's private room was booked but I'd definitely stay there again!

Hospitality, tour information, and location

We stayed at Potae's House for just a night, having come from another guest house, and I wish we had stayed at Potae's longer. She was so nice and very helpful in getting us a rental bike and waking up early to give us the key deposit. Finding things to do in Chiang Mai seems to be all taken care of there. The room was pretty basic, but everything was very clean which is what mattered to us!

The hostel is very new and so are the rooms. Everything was clean and nice. The staff cleans the bathrooms every day. The owner speaks very good english and helps you if you have a question or a problem. Water, coffe and chocolate is for free. The breakfast is nothing special (toast, butter, marmelade) but hey, it's free! Only thing I didn't Luke: many mosquitos. I would recommend this hostel. It's a really good place to stay and near a bus station and directly situated by the old town.
