HUG Backpackers

Smells bad sometimes because of the heat

Central location, clean property No notes

My stay here was very comfortable because the place is well-organized and kept very clean . There is a basic included breakfast of coffee, tea and toast with butter, jam and fruit. The only downside to this place is its location on a central but busy street which makes it a bit noisy all day. Noise!

The room is clean, comfortable, and do have good privacy with the curtains. A totally affordable price, nice staffs, and a chill common area. Highly recommended!

Not very social hostel.

Everything was perfect - clean toilets and showers, very comfy and private bed, very good sized locker (could fit my big backpack..and mine is chunky) free water machine... Very convenient location Weirdly antisocial vibe, but maybe just the guests there when I was there. Breakfast not very good, but better than no breakfast! Position being on the main road meant all common areas pretty noisy

It was amazing place except showers which are too small

I originally planned to stay here for 4 nights but ended up extending it to 11 nights. It wasn’t perfect, but I’d still give it a 10/10. Can’t really put into words why, but there’s some kinda magic ? hahaha. It’s why I sleep so well here. I’m at the hostel in another country right now at 3:40 AM, write this super late review because I’m wide awake thanks to insomnia. Honestly, I sleep really good here. I love the vibe of the place—the sliding door doesn’t make noise, and neither do the bed curtains, which is a big deal since hostels can be noisy. Everyone here was super respectful and polite while I was staying, trying to be quiet—that was definitely lucky. My locker is outside next to the shower, where I keep my toiletries. It’s really easy to lock and grab my stuff, super convenient and organized, especially with the separate toilet. I love the toilet because it has a window—no need for an exhaust fan. And the place is super clean, on a whole different level. They turn off the AC between 11 and 3 pm and open the windows and doors for deep cleaning. That’s awesome for someone like me with allergies ?. Plus, there’s free breakfast, unlimited coffee, and water. The staff is amazing, and the owner is really thoughtful. I left my key in my room, messaged her, and she responded right away—she’s super attentive. So yeah, big thanks for such a great stay!

My bed

Location clean free breakfast staff I paid for a single bed in a dormitory but then it was a bunk , so I don’t it is mentioned in the options of booking.com

good location

Free breakfast is huge bonus and free water. You can rent a bike and book a touristic attraction at the same place. It has everything you need from a hostel and great service. None

Great breakfast. The lady ensures there are fruits, bread and butter in breakfast along with Coffee/Chocolate/Cream. Rarely you see hostels doing that. So good one there!

Very nice staff; sparklingly clean floors and toilets; decent hot water in good-sized showers with wall racks on which to put your things. Large shelf by bed and plugs; bar beside the bed to hang your towel. Fridge downstairs for shared use; simple breakfast provided (lots of fresh fruit). Convenient location. Not as noisy as I expected (since it's on a main road). Beds very uncomfortable. I asked for a bed topper and also for extra pillows, but received neither. I've been travelling steadily for six years, and there are only two hostels that refused to give me extra pillows. I had to go to a store and buy them (because I have to sleep at an angle and need 3 pillows to sleep), which with tuk-tuk cost and pillow purchase cost me the equivalent of another night's stay. There was flooding during my last two days, so we couldn't use the showers or toilets except one on the ground floor with a bucket and ladle--that's not their fault, but they should have provided clean drinking water for the guests.

The location was very useful for being able to zoom around the different sectors of Chiang Mai at will. The staff were lovely and were able to answer my questions with ease in English when asked. The breakfast was functionally non-existent, but that's to be expected from a hostel. You can expect a piece of fruit and some jam on toast. The lack of air conditioning in the middle of the day, and tables in the evening, often made me feel that I was being pushed out of the hostel on occasion.

Staff, cleaning, drinks available all day, comfortable beds, multiple showers and toilettes to use, laundry next door, bikes available It would be good to have eggs on the breakfast and oat or soy milk

I really liked that it was clean, various areas to hang out, and that it was close to a lot of things.

Nice staff, perfect location, good wifi. Bathrooms a little bit small, but not a big deal

Great location and host

This is one of the best hostels I’ve stayed in in Thailand! Everything was very clean and comfortable, and the atmosphere was very friendly and relaxed. I’ll definitely stay here again!
