Comfort Zone Hostel @ Tha Pae

Chang Moi, Chiang Mai

Situated in Chiang Mai and within 500 metres of Tha Pae Gate, Comfort Zone Hostel @ Tha Pae has a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi. The property is close to several well-known attractions, 1.3 km from Chiang Mai Gate, 1.6 km from Chang Puak Gate and 2 km from Wat Phra Singh. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. This is my first time traveling to Thailand/ChiangMai. My trip was made extra special and enjoyable because I stayed at Comfort Zone Hostel. I booked for 3 nights before the trip, but ended up staying for 9. 1. The property was extremely organized and clean. Cleaner cleans the entire place everyday. It is twice as clean as my own apartment :') 2. The owners George and Kim are the nicest people! They are so kind, lovable, and helpful. They made Chiangmai feels like my home away from home. 3. There are fresh fruit, coffee, tea, snacks/thai dessert everyday prepared. 4. The location is excellent, right next to Warorot market, next to a Michelin stared food stall; super close to the gate and old city. Walking street and restaurants right next street... I also met some greats friends to travel with at the hostel!
