    The Better Hostel, what an experience! The towels on my bed looked like they hadn't been washed in years, but hey, at least the location was perfect for my early morning flight!

    Who needs clean towels anyway?

    The hostel is conveniently located near the airport, making it an ideal choice for those who have early morning or late night flights. It is also within walking distance to a large shopping mall with plenty of food options. The rooms are clean, cozy, and spacious, providing a comfortable bed for a good night's sleep.

    Some guests have mentioned that the towels provided were not as clean as expected, with dark stains on them.

    The rooms at The Better Hostel in Chiang Mai are just what I needed after a long day of exploring. They are air-conditioned and come with cable TV, so I can relax and watch my favorite shows in comfort. The satellite channels have a great selection too!

    Personally, I found that the location of The Better Hostel in the Phaya Thai district of Bangkok wasn't as lively as I had hoped. However, I understand that others might still enjoy the quieter atmosphere.

    I recently stayed at this hostel for 2 nights during a trip near CM airport. The staff was very accommodating and quickly resolved an issue with my initial room by upgrading me to a private room with a balcony. The hostel was impressively clean and the modern rooms were comfortable. The friendly staff provided great recommendations for local attractions and dining. The location was perfect for catching a flight, with a short 20-minute walk to the airport and a nearby shopping center for entertainment.

    Can't recommend highly enough this hotel.

    The Better Hostel in Chiang Mai is a lovely and modern place to stay. The location is great, close to a department store for convenience. The rooms are clean, silent at night, and have all the necessary facilities. The restroom and shower room are also clean. The service is outstanding, with friendly and helpful staff. The design of the beds in the mixed dorm is clever, offering options for couples. it is a value for money stay.

    Couldn't stay longer.
