Grace Hostel - Chiangrai

4.6(208 reviews)

Grace Hostel is a small, unpretentious hostel on Nahkhai Road in Chiang Rai, notable less for its facilities than for the exceptional personal care shown by its owners. The two women who run the property have earned a strong reputation among backpackers for going well beyond basic hospitality — guests have been looked after during illness, given home-cooked meals, and provided with reliable transport advice and transfer arrangements. That level of attentiveness is rare and consistently highlighted by those who stay here.

Dorm beds come with curtains for privacy, a personal power socket, and individual lighting — practical touches that make shared accommodation more comfortable. A complimentary breakfast is included, typically featuring eggs, homemade bread, and fruit, and free tea, coffee, and water are available throughout the day. The common area overlooks the street and provides a relaxed spot to unwind. The hostel sits roughly seven minutes by scooter from the city centre, which keeps it quieter than more centrally located options.

The hostel is open daily from 07:00 to 22:00, so travellers with late arrivals should plan accordingly and contact the property in advance. Given its small size and strong word-of-mouth reputation, booking early is advisable during peak travel periods. Grace Hostel suits independent travellers and backpackers who prioritise a genuine, low-key atmosphere and personal service over polished amenities.

Reviews from Google

My friend and I are currently backpacking Southeast Asia and the service here was the kindest and most heartfelt we’ve ever had. I had a really bad stomachache and the lady insisted I eat two of her bananas. When I tried to pay for them she wouldn’t even take my money, and then she offered us oatmeal for breakfast for free. The beds are sooo comfortable, and the place is very clean. Plus showers are hot, laundry for a cheap price, and a lovely common area. One of the best hostels we have been to :)))

UNREAL value for the money with a GOOD breakfast included. The dorm bed was comfortable AND VERY CLEAN. Nice common area overlooking street which I really enjoyed. Friendly and helpful staff.

It’s a lovely hostel, nice private dorms with curtains, a socket and light, two nice ladies running it, nice breakfast and free tea/coffee/water available throughout the day. The location isn’t the best, takes 30 mins walk to get to the night bazaar area. Also we stayed for 2 nights and the bathrooms weren’t cleaned the whole time (hairs, quite a lot of dirt in the sinks, bins in dorm overflowing)

Book Shoulder Season

May–June and September–October offer dramatic discounts (30–50% off peak rates) with fewer crowds. Weather is mixed but rarely a washout — afternoon showers clear quickly.

Compare OTAs and Direct Rates

Always check the hotel's own website after finding a rate on Agoda or Booking.com. Many Thai properties offer a best-rate guarantee or throw in perks like free breakfast when you book direct.

Pool Villa Doesn't Mean Expensive

Private pool villas in Krabi, Hua Hin, and Chiang Mai start around 2,500–4,000 THB/night — a fraction of Bali or Maldives prices. Search specifically for 'pool villa' to surface hidden gems.
