About

Lemonap Hostel - Chiang Mai

Lemonap Hostel sits on Manee-Nopparat Road in Chiang Mai's Sriphum sub-district, about a 14-minute walk from the 14th-century Wat Phra Singh temple and close to the North Gate Food Stalls Night Market. The hostel is adults-only, so there are no kids underfoot — just travellers sharing a relaxed, social space. The building has a shared lounge, a garden, and a bar area, plus a shared kitchen and washing machine for guests who want to settle in.

Rooms are simple but comfortable: an 8-bed dorm with privacy curtains, lockers, and air conditioning, and a Deluxe Double with a city view. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout, and the 8.9 general rating suggests guests leave happy. Just note that check-in runs from 14:00 to 22:00 and check-out is between 08:00 and 11:00, so plan your arrival accordingly.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Strict check-in window — Check-in only runs from 14:00 to 22:00, so late arrivals may need to make special arrangements. The front desk isn't staffed around the clock, and one reviewer mentioned help with late check-in — but it's a limitation to plan around.
  • Breakfast served off-site — The free breakfast is at a nearby hostel, not in the Lemonap building. While guests say it's good and worth the short walk, it's not as convenient as an in-house meal.
  • No pets and adults-only — This isn't a place to bring your dog or your kids. The hostel is adults-only, and pets are not allowed, which could be a dealbreaker for some travellers.

“We had a wonderful stay at this modern, cosy hostel. Staff were super helpful and friendly, giving us great tips on local tours. Location was convenient, close to the Old City and the night market. Surprisingly quiet for being in the city centre. Rooms were modern with big windows, curtains, lights, and charging points. Bathrooms were outside the room but always clean and on every floor. Breakfast at a nearby hostel was enjoyable.”

“I stayed at Lemonap for my Chiang Mai trip and loved exploring the city on foot thanks to the perfect location. The hostel was exceptionally clean, and the staff went above and beyond, helping with late check-in and recommending sights. Breakfast had cereals, toast, fruits, and eggs. The two common areas were inviting, and I met travellers from around the world. Highly recommended.”
