We had a great stay at Aoi. We had big and comfortable beds with a good mattress, our own locker and reading light and the A/C was working perfectly. The location is great, too, very close to all sights and many restaurants but also streetfood places. The guys working there were super nice and helpful! The breakfast was just toast with butter and jam, but that was a nice add-on to the food we got ourselves. We also really liked the atmosphere and the common area where people can watch Netflix together and chill.

Big, comfy beds and a relaxed vibe

The rooms are very nice with very comfy beds. The beds are bigger than most dorm beds and there is a lot of space in the room. A/C works great. Got a nice common area where you can watch movies and hangout. Has the fastest internet in Thailand. The staff are amazing and will go out of their way to make you feel at home. Also has free breakfast and tea. Really can't beat this hostel with the value.

Great Hostel and People

This hostel is in a good location in Chiang Mai and is pretty decent. It has a good relaxing area for meeting people. The problem is when you need to speak to someone at reception, because they are never there. Instead there is a message there saying they will be back in five minuets, but there was no one there for a lot longer than that. There is a dog that sits at the door there and one night it kept barking up the stairs for about half an hour, maybe the dog was worried where the receptionist was? Another issue is there is only one toilet for each floor and these include the shower too, so it is hard to use these.

Okay hostel until you need help at the recption

Guys running the hostel are seriously nice people but don't really know what they're doing. Checked in and weren't shown to a room, just wandered around the hostel until we found a dorm. Weren't given correct key for locker and our room overbooked.  Also the included breakfast is just toast jam and butter which was great, except they ran out of butter and jam and no one went to refill it from 8-11 as there was no staff to be found. 

We are heading back to Chiangmai and won't be staying here again but it's very possible that we just got unlucky and you may have a great time here! Good potential, just a lack of organisation.  

Nice vibe, not well ran. 

A group of 15 of us booked out Aoi hostel for 4 nights for Songkran. Firstly, there was an overbooking where 2 other people who weren't part of our group had booked the hostel online, on a site that the manager obviously forgot to notify about the hostel being fully booked. Since there are only 15 beds, we couldn't have all 15 people staying with us in the hostel. Secondly, there are 15 beds and only 2 bathrooms, each with a shower and toilet, so using the bathroom was pretty much impossible not to mention the manager had about 5 friends sleeping in the living area on couches and the floor throughout the whole time of Songkran so that's 20 + people using 2 bathrooms. Thirdly, the entire hostel looked like it had never seen a mop or broom. The bathrooms were especially disgusting with the toilet paper bins overflowing with used toilet paper (had to ask the hostel staff to empty the bins) and really dirty shower walls and floors. When we all arrived, the sink in the kitchen area was full of cups and plates, etc., and this pile only grew and grew. None of us used any cutlery or crockery so this wasn't ours. Ironically, there was a note saying that we should wash our own dishes - clearly management didn't follow their own rules. Fourthly, some drinks that we had put in the hostel fridge were taken by other people. Lastly, none of us received keys for the big room with 11 beds or the front door (which was unlocked all the time) so anyone could have wondered in and taken anything if they wanted. The manager and staff (which I actually think consisted of one guy) disappeared on the last 2 days leaving a note that he had gone off to celebrate Songkran while some of his friends still stayed to sleep on the floor of the living area. 

Yes it was cheap (only 150 baht per night) but in my opinion, if you're going to run a hostel, do it properly. Apparently this place used to be much better but management was changed about 3 months ago and clearly has gone downhill. It has potential but seriously needs a change of management.
