The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming! She even told me I could come back anytime to take a shower if I needed, which made me feel so comfortable and cared for. That kind of hospitality is rare and really made my stay memorable. The location is also excellent everything you need is close by. The night market and nightlife are just a 10–15 minute walk away, so it’s easy to enjoy the city without needing transport. Overall, I felt very well taken care of and would love to come back again :)

The hostel design was very aesthetic, and the location incredible - easy to walk to all kinds of places in Chiang Mai. Check-in and check-out was easy. The room and shared bathroom were very clean.
The shared bathroom was usually out of toilet paper, and the overall hostel environment felt abandoned. We would have loved more of a community feel and the communal spaces being used and/or any community events. Also, we found the room AC to be incredibly effective to the point that it was irritating our throats.

When I saw the piano in the pictures, the choice of hostel was clear for me (I like playing). The hostel has a cool vibe to it, with very tidy bedrooms, lounge area and clean bathrooms. I felt very comfortable during my stay here, also because the staff was so friendly. There’s also a rooftop area to chill at with a nice view of the surroundings.
During off-season it was empty (can be + or -), however I did make one friend.

Super clean hostel, really nice industrial vibes! Great location and staff very friendly and helpful
I was facing the road side in the 4beds dormroom, and it could get very loud at night with tourists partying, but a pair of airpods did the trick! Also staff was very happy for me to change room if I wanted. Beds not too comfortable for me - it is too hard, but most people like it this way. Overall I would totally stay here again

I had a fantastic stay at Thunder Bird hostel in Chiang Mai. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always going the extra mile to make sure I had a great time. The common areas were clean and inviting, perfect for meeting other travelers. My dorm room was cozy and had everything I needed. The hostel's location was also great, just a short walk from the night market and many other attractions. I would highly recommend Thunder Bird Hostel to solo travelers and backpackers looking for a fun and social atmosphere.

The Thunderbird Hostel is really a great place to stay in Chiang Mai. The service is excellent and it is very clean with plenty of bathrooms. The neighborhood around Thunderbird has to be the best in old town Chiang Mai and why would anyone stay anywhere else in this beautiful city. Even the beds are comfortable, which is kind of rare for Thailand. I really liked this hostel as did all the other guests I talked to
Nice place for sure

Very good value for the price. Clean and comfortable stay, close to the market, easy to find food. The meatballs at the market entrance are delicious, with long queues. A short walk to explore the city. The staff is friendly and provides excellent recommendations for tourist attractions.
Recommended for young adults. Elderly guests might not enjoy it due to the stairs.
