Hidden garden is a very social and nice hostel - theres a lot of young people, attentive staff who will gladly help you with any request, very clean bathrooms that Ive noticed being cleaned multiple times a day, nice location close to the old city, and washing machine/drying machine in the hostel. They also provide water, tea/coffee, fruit etc which was incredible!

The hostel is very popular - therefore its hard to book and the dorms are always full. During my stay the AC broke down (the staff took care of it very fast and offered solutions to sleep in different rooms which was very kind of them!) and the room smelled because it was so packed and there is no windows/ventilation - when you have 8 backpackers cramped in one room the result is not always fun, but thats the hostel life honestly so cant say much. Another issue was the pool - the water wasnt very clean and was a little smelly. It’s also pretty small but still a nice addition.

Wish I could rate the hostel even higher!!! I felt so lost coming from Bangkok but that vanished straight away after arriving to Chiang Mai & Hidden Garden. My stay was magical especially because of the staff. They are just sweetest group of people. They work so hard, always have a smile on their face, help you with everything & are just genuinely interested in making your stay great & in you as a person. Above that the hostel is very very clean, the rooms are well equipped & the vibe in the hostel is a mix of chill, comfy & social. It’s a good hostel if you want to keep to yourself & have a chill stay but also a good choice if you want to socialize & get to know people. They also offer a ride to the sticky waterfalls where I met such a great group of people who I‘ll continue traveling with. I would recommend Hidden Garden Hostel a 1000000%, hope you‘ll love it just as much 🫶🏼

You can really tell that the staff is going above and beyond for you to have a comfortable stay. I was also lucky enough to meet amazing girls in my dorm so making friends was not a problem at all. The facilities are clean, washing takes 50 minutes for 50 bahts, you have a rooftop and a little pool, the communal area is open and a lot of light can come in. The beds are comfortable, room is spacious. The location is great, in walking distance of multiple convenient places: 7eleven, gym, massage, temples, restaurants, bars. I really recommend staying there!

It’s a very minor thing but I would add a mirror in the female dorm or at least in close proximity.

We absolutely loved our stay here. It was our favourite throughout our time in Thailand. We stayed in a private room and shared bathroom facilities which were lovely. The room we had was close to the road so it was loud but they provided us with earplugs so this didn’t bother us. The staff were so friendly and helpful, we enjoyed chatting with them and met lovely people who were also staying at the hostel. Ideally located and didn’t expect there to be a night market right on the doorstep which was a lovely surprise’

Beautiful hostel, felt more like a boutique hotel. Common area and pool are very nice and social, bathrooms are very nice and clean. and the staff were very friendly. Excellent location just outside the old town, right where Saturday night market is located.

The dorm room was very small and packed. Not enough space for bags of 8 people (big backpacks and carry ons do not fit in storage locker. Also, they’re almost always fully booked, so I’m assuming rooms are full). Not enough storage space in the bed. For the price I expected a nicer room with more space. That being said, I would love to come back.

Lovely hostel, staff are incredible and really made the stay. Location next to the old town is great. They actually have a good offering for guests too in the kitchen like tea and coffee and bananas etc.

Pool is pretty small. Being in an eight bed dorm does mean you can be disturbed by differing schedules. Bathrooms are a little tight on space.

Really nice property. Definitely a chill hostel not a party hostel which is what I wanted, but still a common area to meet other travellers. Aesthetically really nice hostel with pool and rooftop areas. Beds were spacious and comfy. Staff are really friendly and helpful with tour information and local food and drink recommendations. Also a market happens Saturday night right outside the hostel.

It’s a calm and relaxing hostel where you can meet plenty of young travelers. Nice for socializing and exchanging ideas with like minded people, not the environment where you would get wasted drinking all night. The staff was warm and welcoming, from time to time they joined social activities and board games with the guests, and they were very helpful in for booking tours and suggesting nearby shops and activities. It was lovely to work in the lobby during rainy days with the green yard view. The location is perfectly situated close to everything and having the market just across the street makes it very convenient to eat fresh food there (also a 7eleven just in front). The hostel promotes ethical activities, organic food, recycling and supports the local community. I would definitely come back and suggest it to my friends visiting Chiang Mai!

I was assigned a room on the first floor and the common toilets and showers for women are on the second floor, so a bit inconvenient if you need to go at night.

It was very clean and comfortable the shared bathroom was also clean aswell as the kitchen we had a private bedroom so cannot review the shared bedrooms the staff were amazing so helpful and put us on to the best local food spots and we ate like queens theirs steer market on Saturdays outside the hostel and you would think it would be loud but it was so quite and peaceful

That the private room didn’t have its own bathroom

The hostel was an oasis of serenity and friendliness. As well as being helpful the staff were Fun and inclusive. The accommodation was comfortable and clean. The communal facilities showed lots of thoughtfulness. We loved having some time out at the little pool.
