Humble roof - Women Only

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.

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.

Other Hotels Nearby

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.
