Matini Hostel grandstation

Clean, beatiful modern design, chilling atmosphere, more for retreat than socialising, free good coffee, iron, big lockers, big sofas in common area.

The bed was a little to hard for me

Very close to train station so was an excellent choice with early morning train in mind. Close to metro station to get to the city. Excellent cleanliness.

Each card to the room comes with security deposit per person, which is a bit excessive.

The staff was amazing , it was quiet! Also a short walk to shops and restaurants about 10 minutes.

I liked everything

It was very close to the station, which was the only reason why I booked it - to catch a very early train to Chiang Mai.

All I needed was a bed to rest after a day of travelling and before another 10h of transit. But apparently that was too much to ask; despite the hostel’s policy of quiet after 8pm, there were people chatting out loud and watching videos without headphones, loud enough to keep me up, way past midnight. I had a separate room but could hear them as if they were next to me. A combination of rude guests and paper thin walls I guess, in any case the staff didn’t bother saying anything about the disturbance.
