"The hostel is small, but it's located on a nice quiet street close to all the main sights of Chiang Rai. I only stayed one night because I wasn't sure of my plans but I wouldn't have hesitated to stay another couple of nights. The room is no frills but comfortable and the ladies that run the hostel are very sweet and happy to help. Breakfast is included and they have a motorbike to rent if you want to go exploring. Overall a great stay."
