Suneta Hostel Chiangmai

My English name is Haien. I come from a central city in China. This is my final journey. On October 28, 2024, a Chinese doctor gave me a medically terminal verdict. This is my fourth visit to Thailand. In 2014, 2016, 2019, and 2024, I have always enjoyed the environment in Thailand, the pace of life, and the relaxation of the Thai people. So, I decided to come to Thailand again in the remaining time of my life to see this city that I deeply love. Checking in at Suneta is the beginning of my final journey in Thailand. Suneta has a high rating on Booking.com. First of all, Suneta sounds like its Chinese translation. It is truly living in the forest. Suneta has four floors in total. It is a beautiful building that combines industrial and forest styles. The first floor is the front desk reception area, a large public space, and a restaurant. It is standard to wait until 14:00 in the afternoon to check in. If you arrive earlier, you can store your luggage. Suneta is very close to Thapae Gate; just a 5-minute walk if you walk fast, and 7 minutes if you walk slowly. The staff at the front desk are very enthusiastic and speak great English. They will explain everything to you, such as check-out time, breakfast hours, and the entertainment facilities in the hostel. There are various table games on the first floor, which is a great place to chat and make friends. After checking in, you will receive your room card and key. No deposit is required here. The second to fourth floors are all accommodation areas. There is no elevator here, so it might be inconvenient if you are carrying a suitcase like I was. The stairs are wide and large, but there are handrails only on the left side, not on the right side, so you need to be careful. I booked an 8-bed room on the 3rd floor. The 8-bed room is mixed with men and women. You need to take off your shoes and place them at the door when entering the room. There is a window in the 8-bed room with excellent ventilation.

No-frills hostel but quite impressive how they run the business efficiently. Small room but has a functional window where outside air can flow in. It's a real value-for-money thing and I will stay again.

The staff were incredibly friendly and always willing to help with anything I needed. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, making my stay very pleasant. The breakfast was delicious with a variety of options to start the day, and the location was excellent, close to key attractions and great dining spots.

Great service, lovely breakfast and plenty of fellow backpackers to meet!

The hostel is very clean, the breakfast is great and it is very near the East Gate of the Old Town.
