About Little One hostel
Tucked into a quiet soi in central Chiang Rai, Little One is a small hostel that earns consistent praise for its cleanliness and welcoming atmosphere. Private rooms are available alongside shared bathroom facilities, and the common areas are kept to a notably high standard. The on-site coffee is a highlight in its own right, with guests and walk-ins alike commenting on the quality of the Thai beans and the warmth of the service behind the counter.
Staff are attentive and known for offering useful local tips, including restaurant recommendations that go beyond the usual tourist trail. The hostel also features on-site laundry facilities, making it a practical base for travelers spending a few days exploring the region. Lockers are available, though they are located outside the rooms rather than within them.
The beds sit quite low to the ground, which may be uncomfortable for travelers with joint or back issues. Staff availability on-site can also be limited to certain hours of the day, so it is worth planning check-in and check-out times accordingly. For those without mobility concerns who are looking for a clean, centrally located and affordable place to stay in Chiang Rai, Little One is a solid choice.

Reviews from Google
I came in for a coffee, it was delicious. The customer service was exceptional, as I sat I explained to the lady how much I liked the thai coffee beans and she gifted me with an espresso shot to try. The ice latte was delicious and it was a perfect start to my day. Cute interior.
Hostel was good, room and bathroom are clean. There are only small lockers outside of the room. Staff is there only a few hours a day
I wouldn’t recommend this hostel. We had a private room. My partner and I have both genuinely hurt our backs from the bed. The bed is incredibly low. Not good for people with poor joints. The mattress is incredibly hard. Weird room lay out. You don’t get a private bathroom. When we arrived it was raining heavily. We were not emailed the code to get into the building. There was no one on reception. So we were stood in the rain waiting to be let in. The breakfast was awful. Wouldn’t even suggest this is breakfast included. It’s bread to make yourself toast which clearly had been there days. Then coffee or juice. We moved hostels.

Tips for Visiting Hotels & Resorts
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.
Location Matters More Than Stars
A well-located 3-star hotel often beats a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, staying near a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the beach you actually want matters most.
