Reviews from Google
Had a great stay at Psych Hostel in Chiang Mai. The owner/staff were super friendly and informative, and genuinely went the extra mile — especially helping me with parcels that were delivered while I was staying there, which I really appreciated. The place was clean and well looked after. Beds were changed regularly, clean towels were provided as needed, and there’s a laundromat straight over the road. The location is ideal — not too far from the centre of Chiang Mai, with plenty of nice places nearby to eat or grab a coffee. The atmosphere was really chilled and relaxed, and the pods were comfortable enough for a good night’s sleep. Definitely good value for money and I’d happily stay here aga
I really enjoyed my stay at Psych Hostel. The place feels brand new and is cleaned several times a day, which really shows. Especially in the bathrooms, which are well above average for a hostel. The lobby has a great vibe, with chill music always playing and a design that makes it easy to relax or hang out. On top of that, the owner is genuinely friendly and welcoming, which adds a personal touch you don’t always get. I’d definitely recommend staying here!
The best hostel I have ever stayed in and i’ve travelled indonesia, vietnam, thailand and others! The hostel is clean and modern and has the best most helpful staff. The pods feel like your own mini room. 10/10 would highly recommend
