I booked at last moment at airport. Didn't have time to check reviews from previous customers, it was my fault. I paid $50 a night. Next day I see their price is $20.
This place is $20 worth place.

A disappointing hotel.

Firstly the receptionist was a lovely and helpful girl.On arrival we were told no breakfast when we had pre booked and paid for it.Later we were told we could have it.Something had gone wrong there.The hotel is nothing like the photos advertising it.The whole place needs a good revamp.The beds are rock hard and uncomfortable. Bedroom furniture was awful as was the bathroom.The television was as old as the hills. In Chiang Mai there are much better and cheaper hotels than this one. Dont reccomend.

Lovely, smiley receptionist girl was very helpful and always courteous with a smile on her face. The room/hotel itself was an older building so it is what i expected. Everything worked fine, TV was old but I don't watch tv on my vacations so no issue for me. Only complaint i have is the bed was really hard. I think they should change the beds to make them more comfortable.

Good location, nice hotel

This hotel is excellently located when visiting Chiang mai as it is central and within easy walking distance from the old town and main features. Unusually it did not have a kettle in the room. The staff is very friendly with good command of English which is not common in Thailand in my experience.

Friendly guesthouse in downtown CM

Kind of a no-frills place, very much a \"home stay\" kind of vibe. Staff couldn't be more friendly and helpful... helped me to store some large luggage outside my room, gave me some washing water to clean my bike, etc. Room was spacious but maybe a little bit tired in terms of decor... but all worked just fine. Free WiFi a little bit spotty.

Only about 200m from Tha Pae gate and Loi Kroh road. Lots of places nearby for meals, including breakfast places. There's a 7-11 convenience store on the corner about 50m from the guest house.

A very quaint boutique hotel, off the main roads, and within walking distance to the city square. This really was in a great location, within walking distance to the Sunday night market. The room was nice, didn’t require a key card for electricity.

Nice hotel but a little disappointing

Nice hotel but a little disappointing. The hotel facilities are nice. Spacious rooms. Interesting furniture. Unfortunately the hotel across the street is under major construction so there’s a jackhammer going most of the day. So that may have tainted my view of the whole experience. There’s no coffee or tea in the rooms, and it was very difficult to hang out in the restaurant as it was across the street from construction. Bathroom wasn’t really clean. Staff Didn’t seem too concerned about all the noise.

Wonderfully helpful staff, peaceful accommodation.

The staff made it for us, from our pick up at the airport in a cool aircnditioned car with a lovely female driver who worked for the hotel. Her English was very good and she used to be a tour guide so she had lots of tips and advice for us. Upon arrival we were shown to our lovely large room (family suite) with a huge shower including a bath. The hotel had good wifi in all areas too. Breakfast was basic but (watermelon, ham, toast and eggs cooked the way you like it, choice of tea or coffee and an iced pineapple drink to finish) The staff were so friendly and accommodating! One of the ladies on reception told us about a lesser touristy temple up in the Mountains (about 20-25 mins drive from centre of Chiang Mai) Wat Khan, she arranged for a red truck driver to take us there, wait a few hours, and drive us back for 700 baht. We went in the evening for the sunrise as thei is a wonderful view of Chiang Mai and further. Amazing experience with a driver who used to be a Monk for 4 years! I would recommend this hotel if you're looking for a traditional feel in what feels like a family business. (Always the same ladies on reception and in the kitchen with a young boy helping them)

However there was a big problem in the room - mosquito. Mosquitos are flying inside your room and you have no way to keep them away. My body was bitten on several areas (face/hand) when I was sleeping and resulting in red dots.

Comfortable Guesthouse Near Thapae Gate

We were met at the airport with pre-arranged transport that was friendly and safe. Checkin was smoothe, breakfast the next morning was delicious and adequate for a day out and about. Gai, the manager, always made sure we made the most of our daily activities, making suggestions of things to do and how to get there. In one instance, she became our local guide and took us to Wat Doi Suthep! Another really nice thing was that Gai and the staff allowed us to take showers before our overnight travel to Bankok even after we had checked out from the hotel--I did not expect that and it made for a more comfortable next leg of our journey. The room was basic but clean and air-conditioned. We didn't spend much time in the room so it was perfect for what we needed it for! We loved the location and the neighborhood. It was very close to the Night Market in one direction and the old city in the other. I would definitely stay here again.

Pleasant staff and location

We had an over all pleasant stay. The staff was extremely polite and helpful. The breakfast was decent. It was refreshing to be in a large city, but have a hotel with many trees and it seemed very tropical. It was near many of the markets and resturants, etc.
We had a private bath and the room was maintained by the staff.
Even though it was not a 5 star hotel, with a swimming pool and extras, it was a good value for the money.

At first we were surprised when checking in because we had booked twin beds and they showed us a room with a double bed. We tried to be pleasant, but were upset because we needed the twin beds! They insisted everything was full. We showed them on the reservations that it said twin beds. (That was how the reservation was booked and it was not an extra service). The gentleman finally found us a king size bed. Although it wasn't what we had booked it ended up being ok. We saw later on, written in their book, they had booked us for twin beds. Because they were busy they must have given away our room.
We hope no one else will have this experience because we were tired from traveling and it was an upsetting start to our 12 day stay there.

Despite being very close to the main street between the river and the old city wall, the location is quiet, on a side lane.

nice location, nice staff

my room was very cute and the hotel felt pretty safe. it's like a 10-15 minute walk to the night market and a 10-15 minute walk to one of the major temples, so it's pretty much in the middle of where you want to be. free wi-fi, which is always a plus!

Great little hotel. Good value for money

It was a pleasant stay in this little hotel. Our room was a bit small but for the price it's ok. Staff was friendly and keen to help. Great location also just one block away from Thapae gate. Very recommended.

Excellent staff, good location, great value

We booked one night at Thapae and came back again after a trip north to Thaton and Chiang Rai. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, the room was clean and comfortable, all for a very reasonable price. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone traveling to Chiang Mai.

great little place

Great little place located 5 min from the Thapae Gate and about 10mins walk from the Night Bizarre and Walking Street markets.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. The first room we were in had a noisy air con unit but they happily moved us to an alternative room with no problems. The rooms were cleaned daily and the fridge restocked with complimentary water. Breakfast was enough to keep you going till lunch time.
Id def go back there...

The only fault apart from a decrepit CRT tv with no remote was the shower, the water pressure varied so much it was impossible to set the temp. It cycled from cold to very hot and back every few mins. Same happens in lots of Thai hotels, it's just Thai plumbing.

Nice quaint and small hotel situated off the main road. So it is quiet except for occasional dogs barking. Room is basic but clean and functional. What do you expect for a 3 star place. Location is central and near one end of night market and Tha Pae gate. Convenient if, going for Loy Kratong Fest.

Not nearly as good as the ratings say

The room was very small, only a couple of feet on each side of the bed was open space. the bathroom was not tiled (just bare concrete walls). There is only one electrical outlet (Duel) in the room but the TV and fridge was plugged into it. the bathroom had none. the room had a small desklike amor but it was very old, scratched baddly and warpped. We ended up moving just around the corner to the Amora which was around the same price but much nicer.

Nice hotel - great location - fair price.

They've got a great \"house\" if you've got a large party - 2 queen bed rooms with connecting bath (upstairs) and downstairs is a room with bunk beds and another bath - next to the full kitchen and dining room. On the main floor is a desk area (huge!) and a living room with great television (and a few American channels as well as Thai).

The rest of the hotel is your regular hotel room - nothing fancy but very nice and clean. Their dining area offers 'american breakfast' and a nice common area where you can watch television, smoke a cig and relax.

Just at the beginning of the Soi is a Wat with a massage business that is very inexpensive and does professional work! Try it - you might be able to make it back to your room without falling asleep.

it's about .8 kilometers to the Sunday market and about a 10 minute walk to the regular nightly bazar.

Plenty of places to eat, a 7-11 at the end of the street.

I'd stay there again.

Good value hotel

A good place to stay, great location and good price. The price should say to you that this isn't a 5* place. But if you're looking for somewhere very close to the Old City, but off a main road so it is quite, and you are staying for a few days I would recommend it.

If you are staying for a week or more, then maybe you might want to look for somewhere a little better. The bathroom was ok (shower, no bath), the bedroom was nice, the matress was hard (which I like). There was wifi, but I didn't use it, I used the communal computers in the reception area. There were a few mosquitoes in the area (and all around town), and the I think the maid left the door open when cleaning the room a couple of times, so we had to get some fly spray to kill a few that flew in. But other than that no problems.

Breakfast was ok, nothing to get excited about. If you don't like it there are a couple of places 50-100m along the main road that do nice french toast, or just a decent cup of tea.

The staff were friendly and their English was good, they weren't pushy about getting you onto a tour (but they did offer to arrange one if we needed).

SE Asia trip

Great place to stay in Chiang Mai, just off Thapae Rd with 7 Eleven on the corner, in easy walking distance between the old city and the night market. The room we had was fine though it lacked a decent window and the bed was rock hard But there was a beautiful courtyard to sit in and the bar/breakfast area was comfortable, laundry was reasonable and the staff were friendly.

Chiang Mai Tourist

This 'mom and pop' hotel is an excellent value in a perfect location for touring Chiang Mai. I would recommend it to anyone more or less on a budget. It is family run and a great place to stay on quiet Soi 5 within a five minute walk from the Old City.
