Great place to stay in Pai if you’re searching a lively and social place! There is a lot of activities during the day, full schedule is provided and the staff is really easy going, helping with everything from motorbike rental to any advice for activities or else. Dorms are good, might be a bit more clean but that was honestly okay for the price/quality ratio. A little bit away from Pai, but not a problem at all if you rent a motorcycle, definitely recommended to enjoy the surroundings as well.

    We stayed in a private double room and I think this has to be one of the best hostels in Pai. Live music every night from around 7pm-midnight and the tables fill up QUICK, so ideal just being up the stairs and can walk down for a table before it gets too busy! Reasonable prices at the bar. Location is perfect - 5 minutes walk from the minivan drop/pickup area and just at the bottom of the road from all the night street food vendors. Good quality air conditioning in the room and towels provided.

    The greatest advantage of this hotel is by far the ambiance, with barbecues, pool parties, bar crawls, quiz nights and many other fun activities organized by the wonderful team. This is arguably the perfect hostel for the solo traveler or a group of friends looking to meet new people. Other than that, rooms are pretty clean and comfortable, and most importantly air conditioned. Each has a private bathroom, aside from a public one. There are lockers in the room itself, which is very comfortable.

    Cheap and quiet place. It's located out of the town, so you better got a bike. Local market and shops are still not far away. Bungalows are budget and have just a bed, a fan and a bathroom. There's an outdoor public area with a bar and pool table. Check-in and check-out was easy, and you may keep your bags at the reception and use public toilet and shower after check-out.

    The lady who runs the hostel is amazing! She can help you with literally anything - she can book your transport for the cheapest rate going, she got me a safety pin when i had a splinter and just in general i really felt like she was looking out for me which was so lovely especially as a solo female traveller. The beds too are super comfy with njce curtains and bathrooms njce too plus the garden is gorgeous - super nice place to chill you wouldn’t believe it’s right next to walking street - location could not be more perfect

    The best hostel we have stayed at in Thailand by far! Rooms are very clean and new, shower is amazing! Very sociable hostel! Bar open every night with good night life (special shout out to the bar man who was so lovely). The bar has all sorts of games out for you to get involved with… beer pong, connect 4, Uno, cards etc… met so many great people at this hostel! Great location and staff are very welcoming. Pool is clean and refreshing when it’s sunny. Cannot fault this hostel at all! Perfect for young backpackers who love to socialise!

    I think this is the best hostel in Pai! Good atmosphere and many opportunities to meet new people. The managers are very involved with the guests. Yoga classes are offered every day and trips are organized. The rooms are hygienic and comfortable enough. Good value for money. I would definitely go back here and regret not being able to stay longer.
