October Hostel ChiangMai

Nimmanhaemin, Chiang Mai

Set in Chiang Mai, 2.3 km from Chang Puak Market, October Hostel ChiangMai offers accommodation with a shared lounge, free private parking and a terrace. The property is around 2.8 km from Wat Phra Singh, 3.2 km from Chang Puak Gate and 3.2 km from Three Kings Monument. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. Room is huge, wish I had a blackout curtain in the middle to make two rooms and remove any light from the bed area. Location can not be better for Nimman area, right in middle of everything. The host, Mr Fischer, very friendly and helpful. There is not a cohort of staff and we liked this, feels like home, probably this is the reason the place is called a Hostel and not a Hotel, as the room quality is too good for a hostel. The room has a small balcony, allowing you to dry clothes, washed in the washing machines found in the hostel premises or any damp clothes from laundry service. Money wise, property is good value
