Very clean hostel, comfortable bed, perfect location and amazing staff (especially cha cha) I’m in love with the staff there, they treat you as a friend more than a guest. The vibe and the type of people I met there was above the expectations, I made a lot of new friends from different nationalities.

Comfort Zone Hostel @ Tha Pae

Chang Moi, Chiang Mai

Situated in Chiang Mai and within 500 metres of Tha Pae Gate, Comfort Zone Hostel @ Tha Pae has a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi. The property is close to several well-known attractions, 1.3 km from Chiang Mai Gate, 1.6 km from Chang Puak Gate and 2 km from Wat Phra Singh. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. George and his wife couldn’t have done more for us, they were helpful at every moment and checked in on us throughout our stay to make sure we were happy. They were always providing free breakfast and hot drinks which was massively appreciated. We arrived very early in the morning after an overnight bus and George kindly moved us into a female only dorm so we could check in straight away and get some sleep. The location was great and they offer bikes to rent as well. The beds were some of the comfiest we’ve stayed in our whole time travelling to the point we returned to Chang Mai just to stay there one more night!! Highly recommend and wish we could have stayed there longer! It was very quiet, not many people seemed to be there but that worked for us and it was only a short walk from the main party hostels so you don’t feel too out of it.
