Whoopers Hostel Chiang Mai

4.9(221 reviews)

Whoopers Hostel stands out in Chiang Mai's accommodation scene thanks to its distinctive Harry Potter theme, pod-style dormitory rooms, and a consistently praised social atmosphere. The property is designed with care, offering guests a genuine sense of personal space within shared dorms — a step above typical hostel setups — alongside daily social activities and communal games that make solo travel feel less solitary.

The hostel's staff, and in particular the manager Shivam, receive frequent mention in guest reviews for being exceptionally welcoming, attentive, and helpful with organising local activities. Bathrooms are cleaned daily, and the overall condition of the property reflects a newer, well-maintained space. The Chang Phueak location keeps guests within reach of Chiang Mai's Old City walls, Buddhist temples, and walking street markets, making it a practical base for cultural exploration.

I had such a great time in Whoopers, the place is very cute, very new and the staff and Shivam (manager) are very sweet. I loved the fact that they had pod style dorm rooms, which would be still be a dorm accommodation but you have your private space too. I think that is sooo cooool! And they hostel wqs clean and Shivam is very very helpful in figuring out a plan of travels around chiang mai, he gave me so mang good suggestions that I actually followed and loved it truly, I can call thailand trip one of my bests, because of his suggestions. He is also very sweet and friendly. I also met al lot of really fun travellers which i connected with , and found the common space bustling alot of time. All in all couldnt have been a better experience. Location is little away from the centre, but it makes it even better cause its quieter around and you hae lots of hikes and stuff whichare actually closer to here than the centre.

The space is beautifully designed - Harry Potter fans will especially love it! The sleeping area is spacious and very comfortable, with a real sense of personal space. The guy at the reception is super friendly, helpful, and gives great recommendations. The lockers are huge, they could almost be used as an extra capsule bed 😁 You should bring your lock 🙏🏼 There is a rooftop area where you can relax, smoke, or do yoga. Towels are not included, but you can rent one on site. The kitchen is very basic: fridge, microwave, and some dishes. One thing to keep in mind: it’s quite far from the city center.

Great hostel! Cute Harry Potter theme everywhere. They are so helpful to organise a bunch of different activities, the bathrooms are cleaned everyday and they have social games etc on daily. Downside is they only have one toilet/shower per floor and it’s not within easy walking distance of too much. But can still get around easy peasy and 7/11 down the road.
