About Grace Hostel - Chiangrai

Grace Hostel is a small, unpretentious hostel on Nahkhai Road in Chiang Rai, known less for its facilities than for the exceptional personal service provided by its owners. The two women who run the hostel have earned an excellent reputation among backpackers for going far beyond the usual level of hospitality – guests have been cared for in case of illness, treated to home-cooked meals, and given reliable advice on transportation and transfers. This level of attentiveness is rare and is consistently praised by guests.

The beds in the dormitory are equipped with curtains for added privacy, a personal power outlet, and individual lighting – practical details that make communal living more pleasant. A free breakfast with eggs, homemade bread, and fruit is included, and tea, coffee, and water are available free of charge throughout the day. The common room, overlooking the street, is a relaxing place to unwind. Located about seven minutes by scooter from the city center, the hostel is quieter than more centrally located accommodations.

The hostel is open daily from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Travelers arriving late should take this into account and contact the hostel in advance. Due to its small size and good reputation, early booking is recommended during peak season. Grace Hostel is ideal for independent travelers and backpackers who value an authentic, uncomplicated atmosphere and personal service, rather than luxurious amenities.

    My girlfriend and I are currently backpacking through Southeast Asia, and the service here has been the friendliest and most welcoming we've ever experienced. I had terrible stomach pains, and the lady insisted I eat two of her bananas. When I tried to pay, she wouldn't even take my money and then offered us free oatmeal for breakfast. The beds are super comfortable, and everything is very clean. There's also hot water in the showers, an affordable laundry service, and a nice common room. One of the best hostels we've ever stayed in!

    Incredible value for money, including a good breakfast. The bed in the dormitory was comfortable and very clean. I really enjoyed the lovely common room overlooking the street. Friendly and helpful staff.

    It's a nice hostel with lovely, private dormitories with curtains, power outlets, and lights. Two friendly women run it. Breakfast is good, and tea, coffee, and water are available free of charge all day. However, the location isn't ideal; it's a 30-minute walk to the night market. We stayed there for two nights, and unfortunately, the bathrooms weren't consistently clean (hair, quite a lot of dirt in the sinks, overflowing bins in the dorm).

    Tips for visiting hotels and resorts

    Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.

    After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.

    Location is more important than the stars

    A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
