I went here 2 years ago, still the best. This is my standard for hostel - simple and accessible. Listen to Fai — she gives the best recommendations. When she tells you “go now” trust me, our Sky Lantern trip to CAD was smooth because we went early. They also have the best sunset views (go to 4th floor) at 5:25pm the plane leaves, it’s so nice.

The socket in my bed is too loose but they fix things right away, just inform them, they will do it for you.

The front desk was so nice and helpful. Clean and safe location.

The beds are very,very firm and I like a firm mattress.

It was very clean and quiet. Not really a social hostel, but rooms were clean, spacious, and had lockers. The woman who runs the desk was fantastic- so nice and very helpful! Also has a laundry service if you need to wash. Overall clean and safe hostel.

The bed was very hard. Also- the location isn’t that far walking distance from the old city, as it’s located just across the road from the old city. However, you have to cross an extremely busy road on 2 sides to get into the old city (multiple lanes and heavy traffic) everyday. There are lights to cross at but the road is so busy you have to walk to the crosswalks with cross signals to be able to cross safely, which were kind of out of the way to be able to do on both sides of the road. Not a huge deal but just be aware even though it’s across the road on the map, the road is VERY heavily traveled.

The host was super nice and kind. Think I just love Thai people overall! The location is around old city which was easy to get to all the local temples if you were into history.

The bed was a bit hard. And the first day I arrived, the hot water didn't work on my floor, so I had to go to other floors' shower. I think it may be the reason of rainy season, since overall the water is just warm and sometimes cold. But I believe they are trying to fix it! It would also be good if there could be a small table in the room and more hangers.

I had a very pleasant stay at About A bed and extended my stay! The hostel has been around about 6 years but the facilities look as if they're brand new, the owner, Fai is very friendly and approachable, she greets you with a big smile on her face :) I liked how the dorm rooms are laid out with curtain and a bar to hang your stuff. It's very spacious so that you feel plenty of space and privacy even in a 8 bed dorm. There are plenty of bathrooms as well as showers in each floor, so you don't have to queue. There's a spacious common area on the ground floor where you can sit and chat, it's probably due to the layout of the common area, it was easy to get to know others who were staying at the hostel.

I really liked everything about this hostel, it was kept super clean and staff are friendly, maybe more sockets in the common area would be nice.

Receptionist was so lovely and helpful, rooms were clean, comfortable and quiet, nice relaxed vibe with place to chat and meet other travellers. Private showers had plenty of hot water, never had to wait to use the facilities. People were very respectful and friendly. Slept very well and was never disturbed by noise. Convenient location with nice cafes nearby for good coffee and breakfast. Overall, had a really wonderful stay!

Only small thing was that it was difficult to control the temperature of the shower, was either cold or very hot

wonderful host who is friendly, funny and just amazing (we wish we could take her to any hostel/hotel in the world!), it is a super clean and comfy hostel, well located close to supermarkets, streetfood, great restaurants and the north gate; we stayed a lot longer than we planned, cause we loved it so much and it felt like home, we will come back and can totally recommend it to others (no, its not a party hostel, but it is still social)

there is nothing to complain

finally a shower with enough hangers and where clothes stay dry. big space in bed and for backpack. nice hanging racks for towels. one towel free. free Water. big fridge. very clean. very quite. nice duvet and cushion. nice bright decor. toilet and shower in hallway, which is good. super friendly and Helpful staff. chill areas. lots of flyers. next to a good cafe for Breakfast. lots of Germans there.

con: bed very hard, I kinda got used to it. but not my best sleep in town. they need toppers (more). door shut too loudly.

Perfect location! Close proximity to the night market, 7/11, temples and highly rated local food. There's also a great vibe jazz club just 5 minutes walk away. Lockers were located by our bed, there's a curtain too to give you some privacy Five was very helpful and friendly during my stay. Easy check in and check out. Clean showers and toilet. Comfy beds, too! Importantly the dorm and lounge was very well lit. They also have laundry service- 60B/kg So far, this is the best hostel I stayed during my trip.

None! Everything is perfect

I love staying at About a Bed! First, it was sooo easy to communicate with the host, Fai. She was so helpful an resourceful, you can get lots of information from her: tour, bus schedule, and some local tips. The facilities in this hostel was amazing, it has several floor and each floor has 2 sinks, 2 toilet and 2 shower room, more than enough to accommodate all the guest! I never had to wait to take shower or use the toilet. The hostel design was also so cute and beautiful. The bed room has locker and place to hang your cloth or stuff, so handy! Tea and coffee are available at all time. The water dispenser was also there to reduce the usage of single plastic water bottle. The location was so close to the food market, but a bit distance from the gate, but you can always walk or take a grab. I highly recommend this hostel if you travel to Chiang Mai.

The room comfort also depends on other guests or your roommate. On the second day of my stay, there were some girls (1-2 persons) brought their stinky shoes in the room and it smelled so funny. They stayed in the dorm during the day and didn't turn on the AC so the temperature in the room was also so humid and weird, but it got better in the evening. There was already a signage to put the shoes outside the room, but I guess it really depends on the guest to comply.
