This is a brand new hotel with both bunk rooms and private suites. We stayed in a private suite with our own private bathroom. It was so clean and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable! We loved hanging on the rooftop to do work and chill with friends did! Will definitely be back!

Social Garden was my first hostel experience in Thailand and I think it ruined my future hostel experiences in this country because it was AMAZING, and I don't think the other hostels will come close to this. The staff and volunteers are wonderful people. I wish i had time to stay longer. I felt very welcome from the start. Right away I was included in the activities. They helped me book a tour of the area. The evening games are so fun. Sitting at the table and getting to know people from all over the world was a highlight for me. People go out to eat together and invite anyone to join. We went to muay thai together, which is not something i would try alone, but had a great time. The beds are SO comfortable. If you want to have a social experience, and feel included even as an introvert like myself, stop looking around and book this place.

The owner is such a lovely woman, she helped me with booking my trip to Laos and gave the best food recommendations! The location is also great since it's right next to the bus station and a night market.

Very clean and comfortable room. The host is kind and welcoming actually one of the best host I have ever had in all my travels. Property is on a quiet street. I was able to get a scooter dropped off at the property on arrival and it made getting around much easier.

We liked the owner of the property, who was friendly and very flexible. The rooms are immaculate, and the beds are comfortable. Although the bathroom is a bit small, it's spotless. The environment is quiet, and we slept so well.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.
