Jao Hostel & Cafe Hostel

Best place if you stay in Chiang Mai! A home away from home, thanks to the cozy environment and the amazing staff!

Had a great experience at Jao hostel.
The owner Oh is very welcoming, kind and speak very good English. The coffee is freshly grounded and taste fantastic. The room is clean and cosy. The hostel is actually really close from the center and I will definitely stay there again next time. I highly recommend it. Thank you again!

Jao is a nice and humorous host that you can feel free to ask him anything. The room of hostel is nice, nothing to complain. Highly recommend.

Jao is very nice and the bed are comfortable.

Location very good, near tourist area, easy to find, rather quiet environment. 7-11 nearby. Small place, rather old building, not very orderly nor sparkling clean, but has kinda homy feeling. Downstairs cafe&bar, upstairs the dorms and private room. Shared bathrooms. Spent very comfortable 3 nights in female dorm. Not much space, yet ideal for backpacker and light traveller. Good Wi-Fi, ac room during night, convenient sockets near each bed, hot shower, laundry by request (extra charge), excellent bicycle rent for free, motorcycle rent not free. Host was very warm, sincerely attentive to guests' needs and very helpful. Excellent English speaking. Regret being too busy getting around so never had chance to try their menu. Love the creaking wood stairs and floor, the comfy mismatched home slippers, the funny bathroom lock. Thank you JAO, it has been very pleasant stay in Chiang Mai.

Great coffee / food. A 'must go' in Chiang Mai. Aaa+

Friendly Staff and Good Price for a Bed near the Ping River.

I love this hostel restaurant. The owner is very friendly. Clean, quite, food very good with special prices for guests, best location in Cnx. Good value!

Lovely little hostel (also cafe and restaurant), boutique and clean, the owner was nice and friendly, I have booked a private room, a little surprised that was also private shower and restroom for the reasonable price. :) The location also good (still in walking distance to night bazaar and main city) the 7-eleven just 200 meters away, but no real parking available and the location just right next to the street, might be some noise of traffic. This is one of the place where I recommend to you for Hostel/ Boutique/ Location/ Clean in Chiangmai.

Fantastic, quiet hostel, lovely people with a great bar (with Hitachino! ) and bikes to get you anywhere you want to go. I stayed wayyyy longer than I originally planned because it was so nice.

A family owned and run hip hostel in one of my favorite areas of Chiang Mai for exploring art and cuisine! Very easy access to all areas of the city but situated on the banks of the Ping River where many of the cities best galleries and cafes reside. The owners are always near and available to take care of inquiries and offer advice for travelers. But the real reason I love this cafe is the foreign import beer selection, they offer a wide selection of Czech Primator, Japanese Hitachino Nest, Sri Lankan Lion Stout (NOM), and draft Primator as well. These are coveted treasures to expats and travelers alike :). The chef's favorite style is Italian, but it's her cheese covered homemade french fries that ring my bells. Definitely a place for indulging your inner glutton.

Great Hostel with nice Cafe which serves delicious food. Rooms v clean and well designed. Really good location within the city. Staff are friendly and go out of their way to help you. Really nice, new hostel in Chiang Mai. Recommended.
