Guest rooms at the hostel are equipped with a seating area. Each room includes air conditioning and a TV, and certain rooms at Nonoteru Chiangmai have a river view. All units will provide guests with a fridge. This stay truly exceeded expectations, delivering the experience of a 4-star hotel. The cleanliness was remarkable, especially in the shared bathrooms and toilets, which were always impeccably clean and very modern. Free shampoo, hair conditioner, and shower gel were provided, and the new showers offered consistently warm water with excellent pressure. The Wi-Fi was stable and high-speed, perfect for any online needs. A beautifully decorated shared kitchen was available, offering free tea, coffee, and cocoa powder. It created a lovely atmosphere to meet new friends, and the presence of a microwave and free hot and cold water was a big plus. Breakfast was also provided—simple yet a wonderful addition that we greatly appreciated. The dormitory itself was exceptionally modern. Instead of bunk beds, each guest had an individual bed with thoughtful separations, providing a comfortable and private space. Safe boxes for each bed added an extra layer of convenience. The location was excellent, with several affordable, cozy local restaurants nearby and just a 20-minute walk to the city center. The staff were extremely professional and helpful, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay. With all these positive points, this place is highly recommended, and if you have the chance to stay here, don’t miss it!

The property is around 1.6 km from Tha Pae Gate, 3.3 km from Chiang Mai Night Bazaar and 3.4 km from Central Plaza Chiang Mai Airport. The property is 500 metres from Wat Phra Singh, and within 500 metres of the city centre. I booked for 3 nighths initially but ended up staying for almost 3 weeks. The hostel is a small but pretty one. It's thoughtfully decorated and equipped. My bed in the 6-bed dorm for only females was a comfortable one, with aircon working well. All day round fruits, snacks, coffee and tea are provided. A fridge, a microwave and drinking water is available. Toilets and bathrooms are always clean. Location is unbeatable with tons of eateries, ATM and 7-11 in short walking distance and walking distance to the centre of Old Town and outside Old Town. The best part is Chiza and Jackie, the couple who own and manage the hostel. They are both very kind and helpful to all guests, making us feel like we're their kids and the hostel is our home. I got sick when I was there and Chiza took good care of me. Thank you so much. Chiza also has a shop right next to the hostel with beautiful designs. Everything was wonderful here. Thank you, Chiza and Jackie 🙏🏾
