About
Stay Thapae Hostel - Chiang Mai
Stay Thapae Hostel is a small, adults-only property with 25 rooms on a quiet lane just off Thapae Road. The hostel mixes dorm-style beds with a shared double room, and guests consistently highlight the warm, homey decor and the effort put into the common areas.
The location is the standout feature - a short walk to Wat Buppharam Temple and the night bazaar, with restaurants and markets close by. The hostel keeps things simple: air conditioning in the dorms, lockers, and a free breakfast that one guest called typical but adequate.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Central, walkable location — The hostel sits on a lane off Thapae Road, a 5-minute walk from Wat Buppharam Temple and close to the night bazaar, Sunday market, and plenty of eateries.
- Comfortable, private-feeling beds — Beds come with their own curtain, light, and power outlet, giving dorms a sense of privacy that guests appreciate.
- Clean bathrooms — Guests consistently note that the shared bathrooms are kept spotless, which is a top priority for hostel stays.
–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Small common space — The lobby is tiny - one reviewer joked about the fun of socializing in it, so don't expect sprawling lounge areas.
- Adults-only policy — If you're traveling with kids, this isn't the place - the hostel is strictly for adults.
- Basic breakfast — The continental spread is typical - one guest said it 'kept my expectations low' - though waffles and unlimited cereal/toast get a mention.
