About
Revolution Chiang Mai - Old Town Hostel
Revolution Chiang Mai - Old Town is a hostel built around social connection. Positioned on Moonmuang Road Lane 2, it sits in the Chiang Mai Old Town district, a five-minute walk from the Elephant Rescue Park. The nearest bus stop, mei wang, is also about five minutes on foot, so arriving and heading out for tours is straightforward.
The property is spacious, with a range of dormitories from 4 to 10 beds, plus private rooms for those who want a bit more solitude. Shared spaces include an outdoor swimming pool, sun loungers, a terrace, a bar and lounge, and a leisure/TV room with billiards and board games. A nightly family dinner is a signature experience that shows up again and again in guest reviews.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Highly rated staff and social atmosphere — Staff score 9.0 and reviews consistently praise the friendly, helpful team and the social vibe. The nightly family dinner is repeatedly called a highlight.
- Great value for the Old Town — With rooms from £15 and a Value rating of 8.5, this hostel delivers a pool, bar, and nightly activities without a premium price tag.
- Strong room comfort for a hostel — Rooms score 8.5, with reviews mentioning comfortable beds and private bathrooms even in dorms. Air conditioning is standard across all room types.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Entertainment score is the weakest point — The cat7 category (likely entertainment or activities) scores 7.8, the lowest of all rating categories. While the hostel has billiards and board games, the offering may feel limited to some.
- Check-out starts very early — Check-out runs from 05:00 to 11:00, so if you're not an early riser, you'll need to plan your last morning. The 14:00 check-in is standard for hostels.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this isn't the place. The policy is strict no pets.
- Potential noise from social spaces — Given the emphasis on socialising—happy hour, entertainment, and a bar—light sleepers in dorms might find the communal energy intrusive. No quiet hours are specified.
