The best ever!!”
Literally the best hostel I have stayed in Chiang Mai , location is great very close to everything literally !! The hostel was so clean from the toilets to the rooms as the staff were always cleaning. It feels Like an apartment the people around staying was also very nice People and respectfully. You have a space to relax outside your room it’s like a living room with tv and chairs. The toilets were literally the best and comes with hairdryers and shower gel. The reception staff was so lovely and she’s made our stay the best she’s also very funny. Also there’s another lady in the information area in the hostel where you can book activities and she will show you genuine prices both lovely ladies. Can’t wait to be back again when back in Chiang mai!!!

Exceptional”
My stay at Iris hostel was great. The beds were very comfortable and AC was great. All of the facilities were very clean as well. Booking tours from the hostel was simple and cheap and the tours were awesome. I did a 2 day trek through the jungle with bamboo rafting and an elephant sanctuary for a killer price, well worth it. Viss at the front desk was AWESOME, super nice and helpful. Even helped me book my flights down to Koh Samui when my foreign credit didn’t work with the local airlines. He went above and beyond making my stay that more enjoyable.

Totally recommend and would come back again.”
This place was one of the best places I have stayed and would totally recommend to any travelers. Everything was within a 5 min walk from the main clubs to some really good food spots and even the main temple in old town. It has excellent wifi, a good hang out location on a balcony that overviews the main street. You can rarely hear the noise from the street and if you need to change money there is a exchange office right next door. I originally booked 1 night and extend my stay the entire 8 days I was in Chiang Mai. Plus the stuff are very friendly and helpful as they will help carry your luggage to your room. The best part is they even sell beer in the lobby downstairs. I had multiple friends i met come in to hangout and they said they would of book there if they knew how nice it was. If i could give it a higher rating I would. Thank you Iris Hostel.

Friendly staff and clean comfortable stay”
We arrived super early (6.00am) after a sleeper bus from Bangkok and the lady who greeted us gave us our room key with no issues, advised us to go have some sleep and we could complete the rest of check in later which was greatly appreciated. The room was spacious, bathroom and toilet was clean and common area. There’s also bread and coffee and tea available to have something to eat and drink in the morning. They also helped us with arranging a bus to Pai and have us advice on places to eat locally and tips on renting scooters! We would definitely stay here again!

Amazing Hostel in Chiang Mai city center”
The dorm rooms were very clean and had AC almost so much that maybe it was a little cold, but perfect. Bathroom was a mixed one with stalls of showers and toilets, so clean and nice looking. Common area wasn’t under AC because you could sit have a free coffee looking out at the street. The staff was amazing gave us great tips when and where to go, they even let us store our bags there while we visited Pai for a couple days. This hostel was better then some of our hotels, I highly recommend it

thanks for your compliment I hope we will meet you when you come back to Chiang Mai.
Awesome hotel in heart of Chiang Mai!”
We stayed here on our first visit and again when we came back for a few more nights. Walking distance from East gate central to weekend walking streets, night bazaar and north and South Gate markets. Friendly and helpful staff, spotlessly clean and newly decorated, fantastic a/c in private rooms and overall incredible value for money. 100% recommend and will stay again if ever in the city. Thanks again!!

Great hostel ”
The staff were very friendly and helpful. Everything is kept clean. The beds and blankets are very comfy. The large common area with a balcony is a nice place to relax and get some air. They also offer tours and give helpful information about things to do in the area. It's in a good location very close to the Sunday market and near plenty of restaurants and other shops. Would recommend this hostel.

Excellent!”
Great location, very clean, very convenient, strong AC in the dorm room, spacious bed, curtains for privacy; clean toilet and strong showers, nice open common area with a view to the city moat, free drinking water; friendly staff... I didn't notice any noise in the male dorm room. Will come back! P.S. A couple of hooks and/or a shelf above the bed in a dorm would make this place even more excellent! ))

Friendly staff and clean facilities”
The staff was super friendly and they allowed me to leave my staff for a couple of hours after I checked out while I explored the city. The location is super close to the the Sunday Night Market and not too far from the bazaar. The common room was really lovely and it was nice hanging out there to drink coffee early in the morning.

Very nice hostel!”
I stayed on this hostel 2 nights in a single room and 1 night in a dorm. Both were cool but the single room was really good! It's very spacious and nicely decorated. It even has a nice balcony with a nice view to the river. I went on a 2 days tour and I left all my belongings there and when I got back everything was there. You can trust them with your belongings. The staff was very friendly and they propose multiple day tours and activities and they'll set the up for you easily.
