Le Light House & Hostel

5 Lily Hom - a month ago

Was absolutely perfect for the week + we stayed in Chiang Mai. Host was super nice and communicated quickly. Staff was pleasant and helpful. We loved our location being so close to the markets and Sat Street market. Was within walking distance of so many places. The rooms were very spacious and price was more than reasonable for what you get. It was such a comfortable stay. We will definitely come back.

This is one of the best hostel stays I've had in my two months her in Thailand. Tim (I believe she's the owner) was over the top helpful and accommodating. We had planned for a late check in and she FaceTimed me showing me exactly how to get to the hostel and how to do a late check in. We also had to extend our visa forms while staying here and she did everything she could to help us get everything we needed all together. The beds/bathrooms/floors/kitchen is all spotless and the bed was totally adequate! My boyfriend and I shared the double beds and they were spacious with a personal light and outlet. The only downside was the room did stay quite hot, maybe because of the curtains on the beds but even though the AC was on it definitely could be colder. 10/10 recommend!! And for the price it's almost unbeatable!

Very clean, best budget hostel in Chiang Mai, great communal area, clean bathrooms and accommodating staff, rooms well air conditioned, beds comfy and no noise at night

The staff here was extremely friendly and the location on the southern edge of the old city meant everything there was walkable. Lots of street food and combinis within about a 5 minute walk along the canal. Very spacious rooms and kitchen.

This is my 2nd visit. Location is excellent, it is close to a night market that is open daily, and also close to the Saturday Night Market.

They have free breakfast which has a different main dish daily. It also includes cereal, milk, toast, and jams. The ground floor is a cafe, so you can order extras for breakfast, or even have your lunch there.

The rooms can be a little noisy as the hostel is right next to a road, though I had no trouble sleeping, especially if I had a massage that day.

Keep in mind they no longer provide towels free of charge (their website is not yet updated), instead you have to rent one for 20 baht.

Small nitpick are that the lockers are kind of small: can't fit any large bags or luggage, but are also consolidated near the doors (and not your bed), so it can be a tad inconvenient if you need to access your locker often. Also, please bring your own padlocks for the lockers, though it's not entirely necessary unless you have super valuable stuff since it's relatively safe.
