Spent 2 nights and it seemed like a homely hostel, all the guests were pleasant and the rooms were clean! Except i had to change the old sheets and put new ones on as the guests didnt realise they were checking out. Showers were in a seperate area but were nice! They had a huge collection of movies ad tv... More

Spicythai is a very good hostel, doing nothing greatly but everything well. Free wifi, good aircon, good bathroom facilities and a free basic brekky, it's all you need for a hosteling experience in Chiang Mai

I love this place and I loved its affiliated hostel- Spicy Pai. Very sociable with organised trips/activities to help people integrate. A large TV area to watch films together and a large table area to sit and chat to people. Free internet. Rooms are pretty basic but clean with a locker and everyone had a room key. Toilet and shower... More

This hostel is great! I wasn't sure of what to expect, but absolutely happy with it. It is very close to old Chiang Mai, easily reachable by foot, or 20 bath with red taxi. The hostel is clean - cleaned everyday. Lovely common area with big table where to meet people, happy and sociable atmosphere, tv area and backyard. Big... More

Stayed here one night in Jan '13, it was busy and nearly full otherwise would have stayed for more than one night. The lobby is okay, with TV and lots of films, very trusting staff that allow you to take a beer and mark that you owe them one on the side of the fridge - quite rare.. Rooms are... More

I had the best experience staying at Spicy Thai. The staff is very friendly and extremely helpful! It was very clean and well kept. It is a great place to meet people while traveling, as the common areas are nice and welcoming. I will most definitely be staying here again when I go back to Chiang Mai.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
In 2006, we created our Spicy Hostel that has since hosted thousands of very happy travelers... Do not miss your opportunity to experience the spiciness in Chiang Mai.Beginning in September 2006, we have shown this country what a real backpackers hostel is and how to run a great hostel. Rated No.2 in Asia 2007 and No.1 in Thailand 2008, Spicythai has really brought the backpackers hostel to life in Thailand. A group of young locals with lots of travel experiences and warm hearts have created each Spicy and have brought them to the top of the game in a very short time. Six years of success prove very well that we have been doing the right thing.Now Spicythai is in its new location: an even bigger and more beautiful house in a more convenient location, close to the Old City.Special Features at Spicythai;Apart from normal stuff that you will get at budget hostels such as free toiletries, a book swap, reference books, bed linens, parking, city maps, tour information, etc, we offer more including:- Strong and firm handmade bunk beds (no funny noises to annoy you while sleep)- AC in all dorms (we live in the city so AC is a good investment for climate and pollution)- Free coffee and tea with toast, butter and jams- Kitchen with free spices and oil- Original honesty system mini-bar with 24/7 easy access- Big-screen TV & home theater system with cable TV and an incredible collection of movies and TV series- Communal computers with high speed internet until midnight and 24/7 free WiFi- Free use of storage closet ... more   less
