The owner is such a lovely woman, she helped me with booking my trip to Laos and gave the best food recommendations! The location is also great since it's right next to the bus station and a night market.

I had an amazing experience at The Secret Corner Hostel! The place is spotless, cozy, and beautifully designed — it truly feels like a home away from home. The staff are incredibly kind, helpful, and always smiling; they went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect during my stay. The location is peaceful but still convenient, close enough to explore the city and local attractions. The beds were super comfortable. I also loved the relaxing common area and the small garden — perfect for unwinding after a day of sightseeing. I would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Chiang Rai — whether you’re traveling solo or with friends, it’s one of the best places to stay in town!

I love this hostel. The location is very convenient for grabbing food because the central market is nearby. There's a café downstairs with nice decoration and a wide selection of coffee beans. The cleanliness is excellent. I feel safe staying here. Most of all, I really appreciate the owner and staff, they always treat me politely and kindly, making me feel at home. There’s nothing I dislike about this place.

The best hostel I stayed in during my trip. the design is beautiful, the place is extremely clean, it’s less than a minute from the bus station. The owner and staff were absolutely lovely, trusting and took great care of me. I loved that there are laundry facilities and a cute kitchen and hang out area. I always felt my stuff was safe. Note that there are strict house rules. The hostel also offered some very comprehensive tours of Chiang Mai’s attractions
