Bloomin' Moon hostel & cafe, Chiang Mai Old Town

Chiang Mai Old Town, Chiang Mai

Situated in Chiang Mai, 700 metres from Chedi Luang Temple, Bloomin' Moon hostel & cafe, Chiang Mai Old Town features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. Located around less than 1 km from Chiang Mai Gate, the hostel with free WiFi is also a 14-minute walk away from Three Kings Monument. The property is 800 metres from the city centre and 800 metres from Wat Phra Singh. What a gem! The first time I'm leaving a 10-star review, but Bloomin' Moon is more than a hostel. The whole building (which includes a cafe) was spotless clean during my stay and had a very unique vibe. The breakfasts were by far the best I've ever eaten in hostels/hotels (you can take your buffets if you wish, I will stick to my truffle mushroom omelet any time!). The owner is chatty, amazing is genuinely passionate about running this place. If only every hostel experience was like this, I would never ever consider hotel rooms/private apartments on my solo trips again. Bonus - there's a resident cat onsite!
