Sylvis Hostel Chiangmai

I had such a great time staying here. Staff were super friendly and welcoming!

Reviews are so incredibly subjective that I generally avoid leaving them, however, I feel compelled to share my experience of Sylvis hostel because there is false advertisement happening with this business: the facilities are in need of updates/good deep cleaning, there is no restaurant (there is a small kitchen with the word "restaurant" on it, but I did not see anyone cooking at any point during my 4-night stay), there is no free breakfast, and there is no airport transportation. Other things to note that played into a 2 star rating: despite signs stating NO SMOKING BY STATE LAW, smoking occurs everywhere on the grounds, you can expect loud music from 5:00pm-11:45pm each night (I can't emphasis this enough, there is no area on the grounds where the music can't be clearly heard, including the bedrooms), and lastly, while friendly, staff, at times, displayed little professionalism - they could be seen drinking and smoking throughout the day, and often distracted by their phones. ** the bartender made delicious cocktails **. Welp, this setting will certainly work for some people; but to know if it's the right accommodation it's important as costumers to get accurate information. I hope this information helps you make an informed decision about your lodging while you’re in Thailand. (Age 30+, reservations via their website, read reviews via Trip Advisor).

The best, cleanest and most happening hostel in Chiang Mai. I stayed in a private room which was right outside the common area. The staff is so so welcoming (special mention to Opal) ❤️ The hostel is very close to night markets and local attractions. Plus, they have world class bartenders and parties EVERY DAY!
