Humble Roof - Women Only is a 5-star hostel in the Tha Phae area, just 1.0 kilometre from the Old City centre and 3.4 kilometres from Chiang Mai International Airport, with a 9.2 out of 10 review score across 58 reviews. Uncle Kham reads a score this high on a hostel as genuinely unusual — this is a small property that's clearly doing something right.
Getting to Humble Roof - Women Only
The Old City centre is just over a kilometre away, and the airport 3.4 kilometres out. Right by the hostel, Dental Center Dr. Somchai is just 20 metres off, Fort of Ka-Tham 70 metres, and Dentalworld 110 metres. A Leather Craft shop is 120 metres away.
Rooms & What to Expect
Three dormitory-style room types are on file, all women-only. The Bunk Bed in Female Dormitory Room (16 square metres) sleeps guests across two bunk beds with a city view. A Bed In Female-Only Bunk Bed room offers a single bunk bed for a more solo-feeling stay within the shared space, and the Female Dormitory Bed - Bunk Bed (6 square metres) is the most compact single-bunk option on file. This is a hostel built for solo female travellers and small groups who want a genuinely secure, women-only environment rather than a mixed dorm.
Amenities & Facilities
Free Wi-Fi covers every room, blackout curtains help with sleeping through Chiang Mai's early mornings, and daily housekeeping keeps the shared spaces tidy. The property sits squarely within Chiang Mai's main tourist area, putting most essentials within easy reach without needing an extensive in-house facility list. For a hostel this size, that trade-off tends to work in guests' favour — fewer in-house extras, but a location that does most of the work instead, with everything from dental clinics to craft shops within a two-minute walk instead of a long trip out.
What's Nearby — Temples, Markets & Local Life
Dental Center Dr. Somchai sits 20 metres from the hostel, Fort of Ka-Tham 70 metres away, and Dentalworld 110 metres — practically at the door. A Leather Craft shop is 120 metres out. Further into the Old City, Wua Lai Walking Street is 590 metres away, Tha Phae Gate 720 metres, Chiang Mai Night Bazaar 860 metres, Art in Paradise 3D Art Museum also 860 metres, and Wat Chedi Luang 960 metres. Almost everything worth seeing in the Old City sits within a comfortable walk from here.
Dining
Specific on-site dining isn't confirmed for this property — with the Old City's own markets, street food, and cafes all within a ten-minute walk, guests have plenty to choose from close by.
Other Hotels Nearby
Three other properties sit within a few hundred metres. SunMui Pool Villa - 7 Bedrooms - Old Town is just 0.1 kilometres away, a 4-star option at 8.5/10. White Boutique Hotel and Spa, 0.2 kilometres out, is also 4-star, at 8.6/10. Kodchasri Thani Heritage Collections, 0.4 kilometres away, scores highest of the three at 9.3/10, also 4-star.
Guest Reviews
Across 58 reviews, Humble Roof - Women Only averages 9.2 out of 10, with staff service reaching a perfect 10/10 against a city average of 9 — the standout figure here. Cleanliness follows at 9.7/10 (city average 8.9), location at 9.7/10 (city average 8.1), facilities at 9.6/10 (city average 8.8), and value for money at 9.7/10 (city average 8.4). Uncle Kham reads a perfect service score as genuinely rare — the kind of number that only comes from a small team paying real attention to every guest.
Good to Know
Free Wi-Fi is included, and the hostel sits inside the city centre, close enough to walk to most of the Old City's landmarks.
Humble Roof - Women Only pairs an unusually strong review record with a genuinely central Tha Phae location, built specifically around solo and group female travellers who want a secure, women-only space. For that traveller profile, it's one of the best-reviewed budget options in the area.

Cabbages & Condoms Restaurant
The Chiang Mai branch of Thailand's most famous social enterprise restaurant, run by the Population & Community Development Association (PDA). The eclectic menu spans authentic Thai cuisine and international dishes with all profits funding HIV/AIDS education and rural health programmes across northern Thailand. The quirky décor uses condom art throughout — thought-provoking and conversation-starting.
Sunday Walking Street
Every Sunday evening, Ratchadamnoen Road transforms into one of Thailand's most celebrated walking streets. Local artisans sell handmade jewellery, paintings, textiles, and woodcarvings, while food vendors line the 1 km route from Tha Phae Gate to Wat Phra Singh. Live traditional music, monk performances, and incense fill the air with an authentic festive spirit.
Night Bazaar
Stretching along Chang Klan Road, Chiang Mai's famous Night Bazaar has operated for over 100 years on what was once a rest stop of the ancient Yunnan–Malay Peninsula trade route. Hundreds of stalls sell handmade hill tribe crafts, silk goods, lacquerware, silver jewellery, and clothing. The ground-floor food court stays busy until midnight.
Anusarn Night Market
Tucked behind the Night Bazaar, Anusarn is Chiang Mai's liveliest authentic night food destination. Over 50 stalls serve legendary Northern Thai dishes — Khao Soi, Sai Oua herb sausage, Nam Prik Ong, and grilled meats — alongside Thai classical dance and sword fighting performances at the centre stage every evening.
Chiang Mai Moat & City Walls
The 1.7 km square moat surrounding Chiang Mai's old city is one of the most picturesque urban walking routes in Thailand. Built in 1296 on King Mengrai's orders, the moat with its four ancient gates and corner bastions has been a defining feature of the city for 700 years. Perfect for jogging or cycling at sunrise, or a relaxed evening stroll.
