Very good

Great hostel and property! The property is in old city but does not feel like it - it’s big and has a pond, trees, and the city noise is drowned out by the singing birds! Free breakfast off of a menu, coffee and tea available all day, our private room was spacious and comfortable. The WiFi was good as well. The staff was very helpful for our requests, which was greatly appreciated!! Would definitely stay here again.
Spartan interior, but clean bed, and it’s the lovey garden and plethora of outdoor seating that made my day. It’s also very conveniently located inside the moat, basically walking distance from everything! Simple bathrooms, with hot water and plenty of showers, sinks, and lockers.
Great location, the staff is friedly and helpful. Quiet type of place with a beautiful common area, so it is not the most suitable place for a party people. Beds are
Ultra nice staff, make to order breakfast is delicious, peaceful garden, room was not the nicest compared to all the other hostels I stayed in during my two weeks in Thailand but it was comfortable and the A/C worked great. Bathroom reminded me to the ones in the military dormitories, they were Okay.
It was a very beautiful hostel, with a nice lawn and a pond. The breakfast was great, fulfilling and delicious! The bed and pillow was comfy. The shower changed temperature every now and then, so be careful if you don’t like cold showers. Other than that, I would recommend it to anyone who is traveling!!!

I loved the garden, the considerate staff, the delicious breakfast, the resident cats and roosters, the sound of nearby temple drums and chants.

A cute hostel with a garden vibe. The staff were very nice and helpful. Not easy to meet people as they are pretty much doing their own thing in the garden common areas. The bathroom isn't the cleanest but it's bearable. Because there's a lot of outdoor space, be prepared for mosquitos.

Normal Hostel in a Nice Setting
I have stayed here 3 years in a row. It is a normal hostel, but I like the staff and the location in Old Town is great. Sits back off the street in a garden setting, so the only noise at night is the chiro ing of Geskos and birds.
A gem. Was pleasantly surprised with great vibe, outdoor common area, free coffee, fridge w beer/water/soft drinks for sale. Scrambled eggs breakfast. Very nice garden yard.

Nice hostel; relaxing- away from the busy streets
Check-in was fast and nice, I felt safe while staying at the hostel for three days and two nights. I was in a bedroom with two other friends and the window bed was very nice aside from the ant party happening around the window which led me to not sleep in the cool little window bed area. Otherwise, the AC was nice, the shower was nice, and the TV was nice as well.
Staff were very friendly and helped us book bus tickets, tours, and classes. They also personally took us to the bus station the day we were leaving.
It is on the quieter side of the old city so it's a little bit of a walk from some of the bars and restaurants, but the old city is so small it didn't matter at all.
The place was very pretty and a great place to stay overall!
Convenient location. Basically the staff helped me with small things like charging converter, directions etc at their best. Oh and they have a very cute dog:)
It's really amazing. The staffs are extremely helpful and friendly. Room are affordable yet comfortable (I stayed in Standard Twin Room). They have motorbike for rent also. Nearby there are restaurants and cafes that are worth discovering. They even organized a free class to teach us making 'krathong' for Loy Krathong festival, which is a great experience.
Good place to stay overall, the staff is very friendly and is well located. It's basically sorrounded by the jungle, which can be good if you like it - although it means that you can find a huge spider on your door! Just some things more: they don't clean the rooms every day and there was neither fridge nor locker in ours (a deluxe). The air-con works well but is quite noisy.

Great staff, but too many mosquitoes
The staff is great and it is in a quiet area (frogs croaking at night, cuckoos waking you in the morning, you get the idea..). It felt very safe for me as a solo female traveler (stayed in a private double bed room). The staff arranged for day trips and airport pickups and gave maps to the city, which made it very easy. The only downside was the mosquitoes. They seemed to be more inside this hostel than in the cafes outside. So I couldn't really enjoy the outdoors breakfast area and lounges which looked really lovely. The upside is the friendly flexible nature of the staff.
We stayed twice and we would definitely come again. The hotel has a very good location, walking distance to the main sights. The room is clean and spacious. The breakfast is plenty. Staff is nice and helpful. Internet is speedy.
