Awesome!

Our stay at the Iris Hostel was great. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are not extravagant but very clean (we stayed in one of the private rooms). They have a washer and dryer on site. And the location is very close to the Sunday market, and is a straight shot up to Do Suthep Temple. We wish we could have extended our stay here. I hope to be back in the future.

Private Room was Great

The staff were excellent and very helpful. I stayed in a private room and have no complaints. The only bad thing I experienced during my 5 days were rats. I saw 2 outside on the side where I parked scooter, 1 in the kitchen restaurant in the back of the hostel and 1 right outside my room on the second floor. Sigh. Unfortunately rats are a major part of Asia but it's still disturbing to me.

Faultless

An excellent hostel that is spotlessly clean. We had a very big private room on the top floor. Everyone was very friendly and the position in Chiang Mai in perfect.

立地は良かった。お部屋はエアコン付きで良かった。コミュニティスペースは窓がなく開放感があって良いのだが夜中外が賑やかなのが気になる。 洗濯機が壊れていたがその旨注意書き等無かったのが残念。 問い合わせをしたくても午後から翌朝までスタッフは不在。急な事に対応出来ない点についてマイナスさせてもらいました。

Be avoided this place on popular festival

Poor service, I book for this place but I can't stay here coz the transfer me to another guest house nearby which is very more cheaper than the price I paid for this place. You must be avoid for this place on popular festival in Chiangmai because they can't slove the problem with over booking situation.

スタッフがフレンドリーな宿

元々ドミで予約していたのですが、一緒に宿泊した姉がここの常連で、ドミもフルブッキングだったのでバス・トイレ付きの個室にアップグレードしてくれました。 部屋自体はとても快適だったのですが、バスルームの排水が悪いのが困りました。 他共用スペースなどはいつも清潔に保たれています。ただし共用バスルームは男女共用なのでトイレは足元に注意が必要です。(室内用ビーチサンダルがあるので利用しましょう) 表通りに面しているドミトリーだと夜22時位まで一階のレストランで生演奏をやってるのでかなりうるさく感じると思います。
