THE BOSS CHIANGMAl

Among the facilities at this property are a tour desk and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation offers evening entertainment and an ATM.

Guest rooms at the hostel include air conditioning and a wardrobe. This was an amazing hostel! Really clean, nice air conditioning, lots of leaflets of things to do. Like a new hotel! The best thing is how nice the staff were, free breakfast every day (choice of 3) and really high quality. They spent so much time advising me of things in the area and went above and beyond. They also have a car service which they can take you around, likely airport to and from, for around 150 baht, cheaper than the taxis/ubers. And it's like a really fancy mini van they have, with a logo on it. They can book tours for you that have the minibus pick you up from the front step. They went above and beyond booking me two of the tours for the elephant sanctuary and Chiang rai when it was last minute. Breakfast also starts at 7 30am but they made it for me at 6 50am both days I had the 7 15am starts for the package tours! they provide towels for every guest (for showers) too which is amazing. A lot of nice things in the area but a little far from the centre, but cheap enough to get a grab/taxi/uber 10/10 would recommend

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. as someone who is picky with what hostel they stay at (and reads tons of reviews before booking) this hostel absolutely exceeded my expectations. george and his wife kim are the most incredible people. (I would come back and stay here just for them) the rooms are clean, beds are so comfortable, showers are clean, you get a locker AND an extra drawer for your stuff, and it is very close to everything in CM. the best part is that the kitchen has a ton of snacks, drinks and coffee all day. I am already planning my trip back here and cannot wait to come back just because of this hostel. thank you george for being the best host and for your incredible hospitality!!
