AMAZING! on arriving the staff welcomed us and showed us around the whole place, which had plenty of communal seating, a HUGE kitchen with a microwave, fridge, filtered and boiled water, and free snacks! the room was incredible, plenty of storage a huge bed and incredible windows. on the top floor was a washing machine and a washing line on the rooftop terrace. how this place wasn’t fully booked (there was us and 2 other guests staying) is beyond us, it was absolutely beautiful, one of our favourite places. the location was right next to the night market and a 7/11! could hear the night market however it wasn’t super loud and they stopped around 10/11pm. would 1000% recommend!

everything was perfect!!

This has to be one of the best hostels I've stayed in anywhere in the world. 1 / It's super convenient, right outside the bus station (great for people coming from Chiang Mai), literally a minute's walk 2 / Also happens to be where the night market is, so you have lots of options for food 3 / The staff is incredible. Fon and her team are the absolute friendliest in the most genuine way. Happy to chat, helpful with information, Fon even arranged the slow boat trip to Laos for me. Really above and beyond and it's so nice to meet people in the hostel industry who are honestly cheerful and kind-hearted :) 4 / The hostel itself is immaculate. Cleaned to perfection daily, both the rooms and the common areas. It's as it looks in the photos. AC runs all day in the rooms! Good size lockers, do your own laundry, etc etc. I almost feel bad that the hostel isn't super famous yet or isnt located in a more famous part of Thailand, as almost no one else was staying in the hostel when I was there, but I was happy to have the place to myself :) Busket Team if you're reading this, thank you guys again for everything! Keep up the great work and see you again in the future hopefully! - @atlasxciv

This stay was wonderful! The staff was so friendly, helpful and informative. The facilities were stocked, clean and well thought out. The cleaning of the common areas and rooms was daily and spotless! They had a fully stocked kitchen area, including a refrigerator and microwave, to make some simple meals or bring food back with you. They even offered coffee, tea and snacks and refillable filtered drinking water. So close to the bus station and all sorts of restaurants and street markets. I didn't use it, but they offered laundry on site.

There is truly not much that I didn't like about this hostel. If I were being extremely picky, I could say that the location to the street market could be heard in the night but quieted down at a reasonable hour like most of Thailand. But the close vicinity made experiencing the street market simple and getting delicious food close to home.

The staff is delightful, very kind and always smiling and ready to help. The facilities are clean enough, considering it is a hostel. The location is great, right next to the bus station and the night market.

The rooms are very small. On another note, it is not allowed to use shoes within the hostel, and I understand it's a Thai cultural habit which I fully respect. However if I were the hostel owner I would either inform guests previously (by making it very clear on the Booking description) or give the guests the possibility of using their own flip flops inside the facilities. Again, one wants to respect the culture of the country they're visiting, but everybody has their own personal hygiene standards, and we are paying for an accomodation, it is not free.

Everything! The hostel is so neat and tidy and has a really nice rooftop where you can hang your clothes from washing at the machine which you just pay 20 baht plus 10 baht for soap powder. The smoking corner is on the rooftop. Beats anywhere else! They have a first aid kit stocked with bandages, gauze and antiseptic wash and ibruprofen, charcoal tablets etc. There are multiple areas for lounging and it is very comfortable and cozy. Location is excellent. 100 meters from the bus station and daily night market and 7-11 is directly opposite the bus station about a 3 minute walk. Plenty of food options, watsons and boots pharmacy and massage places for 200/250 baht an hour. There are pubs and cafes at affordable prices too. Privacy curtains for the bunk beds and a huge storage locker which you need to have your own lock. The staff took out my washed laundry when I did it at 2:30am and hung it out to dry first thing in the morning when I woke up at 8:45am to take it myself.

Not the most social place. One lady wanted to sleep in 30-35c heat in the room and wasn't too nice about it when I said to move it down to something reasonably cool as it is very hot inside the room

The location was perfect- a 3 or so minute walk from the bus station and a couple minute walk to the night market. The woman who runs it was very nice and helpful. Also the hostel has a half day sightseeing excursion with a driver for 500 baht which takes you to White temple, blue temple, Lolita cafe and the Big Buddha- great value if you only want to see the temples and don’t want to do the long full day excursions online that go to Golden Triangle as well. Property was very clean, rooms and lockers were spacious, and overall was a great stay.

It has washer, but no dryer and every time I went to try and use the washer it was in use. I found a laundromat a ten minute walk from the hostel so it wasn’t a big deal.

The staff is super friendly. There is a spacious common kitchen with tea/coffee/snacks. The beds are comfortable and enough privacy. There is a washing machine and hanging space on the rooftop. The rooftop is also nice to sit and chill. The hostel is conveniently located right next to the bus station, the night market, etc.

The showers are tiny with toilet inside, and there is no ventilation so it's super hot and humid. Showers are outside the bedroom. There is no breakfast. There is a continuous high-pitched loud sound non-stop in the room, so it's very disturbing to sleep.

Cutest hostel ever! The lady running it is sooo lovely and friendly! She made me feel very welcome. There’s lovely decorations everywhere. I was welcomed to a bed with coloured bed sheets and a pattened pillow case (which reminded me of home, and was a nice change from all the white bedded hostels) and a face mask on my pillow. The hostel is right next to the bus station which is super convenient. Hotel staff were so friendly. There’s a fridge and microwave and some free coffee

Nothing!

Lively little hostel located a few steps from the bus station. Very clean and nice and spacious dorm as well as kitchen area. Many nice little extra touches such as free snacks, flip flops for the shower room etc. the owners have really taken care to make it a comfortable space. It’s not really social so not a place to meet lots of people but if you’re looking for a cheap and very nice place to sleep it’s excellent

The shower is in the same cubicle as the toilet which is a bit unpractical as everything gets wet. Hot water does run out on occasion if you’re unlucky.

It was very quiet, and I was alone in the female dorm for 2 nights! Lockers are provided (you need to bring your own padlock) and big enough for a big backpack. The bed was comfortable and the room very bright with natural light. You get a towel as well. The reception was veeery kind. It's a one minute walk from the bus terminal and the night market. Snacks, a water filling station, tea and coffee are provided.

Water pressure in the showers is very weak, not ideal to wash long hair. Reception is only open until 5 or 6pm, so if you want to come late without any booking, you can't. It's a bit dark in the bathroom, more light would be appreciated:)
