I stayed at Hub53 for a week, and I absolutely loved my time there! The common spaces are fantastic, the Wi-Fi works perfectly, and the coworking area is spacious with a variety of desks to suit different work styles. The location is excellent—very close to Nimman’s main road and the Maya shopping mall. Pai and Joyce were attentive and provided great support throughout my stay.
The booking website is trash, doesn’t show you availability and prices. You basically have to guess and try.
Edit: please try yourself to find availability for a room that’s currently booked. It suggests to find other dates. Then you click the calendar but all dates are selectable. After selecting one date all other get greyed out and only one night is selected. Still it says fully booked and doesn’t show which dates are actually available. Makes no sense. I tried different browsers and devices.
Awesome experience and great service. Firstly thanks to Pai because of her efforts to make everything smooth and flawless ( you will find her at the front desk mostly with a welcoming face ) . I have used the coworking this year for a month and last year for almost 6 months. The internet is speed and connection great almost had no connection issues. Free espresso machine and coffee/water was a good daily starter to work. I have tried other places in town too but Hub53 felt like and home and office for me so that's why I keep using their spot whenever I am in Chian Mai. They organized activities like hiking, communal lunch which is good to interact and network. If you are looking for a place to focus/work/socialize it's the best place in town.
Good co-working (especially the comfy cushion sitting room), and good communal vibes with folks living and working there. Call rooms to not disturb others, and all open 24/7. Friendly staff who always make you feel taken care of and welcome.
I wouldn’t recommend this place for other nomads.
For one, the rooms aren’t as nice as they look in the photos. You get stains on the ceiling, mold in the pillows, closet doors that don’t open enough to use the closet, and not even a TV. You can rent a brand new apartment in a condo with a coworking space for less per month.
For two, hot desk space is pretty limited and not all spaces have access to plugs.
The staff also made me feel uncomfortable throughout the stay. I arrived on a weekend and followed the self check in instructions. The staff complained on Monday that they had been worried I hadn’t arrived. I mean, why? No instructions were provided that I should inform anyone I’d arrived. Also, no staff were around and the door wasn’t even locked when I arrived. It all felt weird.
And lastly, security issues. The door into the coliving is left open basically 90% of the time. Even after they replaced the lock mechanism during my stay, it was still almost always unlocked when I used it
Honestly, I felt uncomfortable the whole time I stayed there so opted to leave early. They were inflexible with their refund policy, so tread carefully.
There are better options for coworking in Chiang Mai, go find those
A good co-working space. Lots of areas to work, private spaces and larger shared areas as well. Also a nice social area to get to know the other guests. Pai is also great.
I lived at Hub53 for six months! That's like 1% of my life. The staff, Pai and Nit, are amazingly kind and helpful. I had a bad fall outside and Pai drove me to the hospital and looked in on me during my recovery.
Location is amazing. 10mins walk to Nimman but far enough to be away from the craziness. Coworking space has a lot of variety whether you want to work in a big room with others or a private small desk or lounge area. Free coffee and conversation with a cast of interesting characters. During my time there I met an AI researcher, an aerospace engineer on sabbatical, online english teachers from a variety of countries, just to name a few. Depending on the people who are staying it can be fun (see picture) or more chill and private.
And now there is a mother cat with four cute kittens in the lower floor who've made the hub their home!
