더 엔타니어 포쉬텔 - 호스텔(The Entaneer Poshtel)

Good value for money......................................................

This is one of the best hostels I have stayed in. The staff are friendly and welcoming and organise walking tours of Chiang Mai on occasion to bring people together. The dining area and other outdoor areas are great for hanging out in and meeting the other travellers. The rooms are clean and the beds and pillows are comfy. The breakfast is simple but excellent and the kitchen appliances and utensils are available for cooking and storage of food. The hostel also has a great location.

What a cool find!!Travelling as a solo woman who likes to chill, feel safe however check out the local vibes without hard sell of tours. Pappy and the team totally delivered on all fronts with this aesthetically pleasing, spacious hostel with a beautiful garden and work spaces yet smaller spaces for quiet time. I have recommended this hostel to my fronds and will definitely returned.

They saved my ass when my original hotel were closed. Came to Chiang Mai at 22-23 and the reception was closed at my original hotel (even though I texted them), so I was completely lost in Chiang Mai and everything was fully booked, also at this hostel. BUT this sweet sweet girl behind the reception at The Entaneer somehow found a bed for me so I had a place to stay for the night. The hostel is really nice and clean, and if I’m going to Chiang Mai I would love to stay there for more than a night

The staff is super friendly and the hostel organised a lot of activities!

We loved our stay at Entaneer Poshtel in Chiang Mai, we used it as our base when we did day trips and were able to store our luggage there for 2 days when we went to Pai. The staff were super friendly and helpful with all our questions, they even shared some of their food with us when we arrived after days out. The beds are very very comfortable and you get your own little enclosed space, which we particularly liked. We stayed in a 4 bed and a 3 bed dorm, both had loads of space and were very clean. The communal bathrooms were cleaned regularly and had a great ventilation system in place so they never smelt. This was probably our favourite hostel of out 5 month trip so far. Highly recommend!

I was so excited to stay at The Entaneer Poshtel given all the glowing reviews of Pappy and his hospitality. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the best experience here as a solo female traveler and ultimately left early due to discomfort. When I arrived, Pappy asked me to join a group outing to go out partying that night. I asked who was going, and he told me it was a mix of men and women. It turned out to be only men. While usually not worrisome, a couple of the men started making uncomfortable remarks as they zeroed in on me as the only woman in the group . They kept asking how much I drank, how my alcohol tolerance was (if I got drunk easily), if I liked to party, and talked about “massages with happy endings”. I felt unsafe as the only woman in this group of men. I kept asking if the women were coming and Pappy kept saying they would, but they never arrived and so I made an excuse and left the group early. When I went back to the hostel, I could barely sleep because I felt nervous about the comments that had been made to me, and I was in a single room. I ultimately decided to check out the next day and find another place to stay. I told Pappy that I was leaving because some guests made me feel very uncomfortable. I even went so far as to ask him to tell anyone who asked where I went that I was meeting friends, so that they wouldn’t know I was traveling alone. Rather than be concerned (like asking if I was okay, getting more details on what happened), Pappy immediately became defensive (“was it something I did? There’s no refund”). He was not understanding at all and I left feeling like it was my fault to want to go. I returned my keycard and made it clear I wasn’t coming back, and ultimately left a lot of money on the table to get myself out of this situation. I understand Pappy is a very welcoming host that loves to bring people together. I would urge him to be more thoughtful about dynamics - especially when they involve young, solo, female travelers. I know others have had great experiences and I was unlucky because of the other guests at this time, but this is something Pappy should be more attuned to. If a solo female traveler tells a hostel owner that others are making them feel uncomfortable, they should feel supported. I’ve stayed at plenty of hostels around the world (all over South America, Europe, and Asia) but have never left one early due to feeling this uncomfortable or nervous.

I LOVED my stay here. The owner Pappy is so helpful, friendly and awesome! The facilities are amazing for the price you pay. The bedrooms are spacious, bathrooms are always clean and the common areas are fantastic. Pappy ensures all guests have a good time by inviting everyone to social events and giving ideas. Would definitely come back to the entaneer again!
