Little One hostel

4.8(86 reviews)

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 travellers spending a few days exploring the region. Lockers are available, though they are located outside the rooms rather than within them. A few practical notes worth considering before booking: the beds sit quite low to the ground, which may be uncomfortable for travellers 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.

Visitor Reviews

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

Extremely clean rooms, bathroom and common areas. Central city and has onsite laundry facilities. Stayed in a private room with shared bathrooms - only suggestion is that the rooms is quite big and could do with some storage area for longer staying guests

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.

Tips for Visiting Hotels & Resorts

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.
