Location
TT Hostel Chiangrai enjoys an exceptional location, consistently praised for its close proximity to key attractions in Chiang Rai. Nestled just minutes from the bus station and the bustling night market, it offers guests the convenience of easy travel and access to local highlights. The hostel is situated on a tranquil street, providing a quiet retreat despite being at the heart of downtown Chiang Rai. The central location allows visitors to reach various hotspots, including markets and the city center within a short walk. This strategic positioning not only enhances the travel experience but also delivers remarkable value for money.

Breakfast
TT Hostel Chiangrai offers a basic and simple breakfast that appears to vary slightly but generally includes toast, butter, jam, bananas and coffee. Some guests enjoyed the breakfast, describing it as delicious and sufficient to start the day without feeling hungry. However, there are repeated mentions of the breakfast being very basic and lacking in variety.
Several reviews highlight that breakfast is included in the stay, which is appreciated by many, even though it's limited to just a few items. On the downside, some guests were disappointed with the simplicity and occasional scarcity of the offerings, noting the absence of additional drinks like tea or any other fruits. There were also a few complaints about cleanliness, particularly with instances of ants found in the jam and butter.
Despite its limitations, the breakfast is generally considered a convenient option for those on a budget or looking for a quick bite before exploring Chiangrai. However, there's a consensus that the breakfast could be improved with more variety and attention to detail.
Rooms
TT Hostel Chiangrai earns mixed reviews for its accommodations. Positive feedback highlights that the rooms are spacious and equipped with air conditioning. Guests find the beds comfy with cozy and comfortable rooms featuring new clean bed linen and towels. The bedrooms are often described as cute and both room and toilet cleanliness receive approval from multiple guests.
However, there are notable downsides. Some rooms are outdated, windowless and therefore lack proper ventilation. Issues like noise from the entrance hall, bad smells, water leaks and rooms feeling like bunkers detract from the experience. Multiple reviews also mention that common areas are in poor condition and very dirty. While some rooms offer comfort and cleanliness, others fail to meet satisfactory standards.
Beds
Travelers have mixed opinions about the beds at TT Hostel Chiangrai. The general consensus highlights a range of experiences with several calling attention to the comfort and size of the beds. Some guests found the beds to be large, comfortable and even the most comfortable they'd experienced in Thailand with clean sheets and comfy pillows adding to their satisfaction. However, a contrasting group of reviews points out that the beds are often hard and springy with some guests specifically noting discomfort from feeling the springs or metal bars through the mattress. While there are positive mentions of the hostel offering a decent quality-price ratio, it is clear that an upgrade to the mattress quality could significantly enhance the overall guest experience.
Cleanliness
TT Hostel Chiangrai appears to have significant cleanliness issues according to guest reviews. While some isolated comments mention that the hostel, including shared bathrooms, is clean, the overwhelming sentiment points to the opposite. Many guests found the rooms and common areas to be extremely dirty with specific mentions of dirty walls, doors and curtains that were almost black with dirt. The bathrooms garnered a lot of criticism with reports of them being very dirty, full of cobwebs and poorly maintained, contributing to an overall dirty environment.
Issues like humidity, insect infestation and bad odors were also noted, making the stay unpleasant for many. Some guests mentioned the need for better maintenance and renovations, indicating that the facilities are outdated and in disrepair. Complaints about cleanliness extended to the kitchen and breakfast areas, which were described as impossible to enter and looking like they hadn’t been cleaned in years.
In summary, the hostel struggles considerably with hygiene and maintenance across various areas, overshadowing the few positive remarks about cleanliness from some guests.
