Chiang Mai Homestays

Needed a place in Chiang Mai for 4 nights. Didn't care about luxury but didn't want the cheapest place I could find either. Came across this on Agoda and thought it might be worth a try. It's 150 Baht ride from The Chiang Mai Airport. I arrived Check in Was quick and easy. The room is immaculate. Small but very clean. Great bed flat screen TV many many channels. The air condition is fantastic. It's a hostile but it also has. Individual rooms Which is what I booked. It's unbelievable value. 22.50 a night. They don't advertise free breakfast. But they have a common area just behind reception. With a big screen TV and it's got a full kitchen that everybody is welcome to use. If you clean up after yourself, they have all the utensils. They do have a small breakfast in the morning, which is free to everybody who stays here. Although they don't advertise. It waffles cereal coffee tea toast. Basic But very nice. They also have four or five bicycles that are available free of charge to use which is a tremendous perk. There are a couple of negatives but based on the value for money. I can work around them. Number one no room safe number two When you take the key card out when you leave the room the refrigerator also loses electricity. First I've seen this most hotels I've stayed at. Had the refrigerator socket wired to stay hot, even when the key card was out. And it would be nice if they had a chair. In the room nothing fancy just a basic chair. Should I find myself in Chiang Mai again? I will definitely use this hotel again. The staff here are very very friendly. From the reception to the room cleaners everyone always smiling willing to help out answer any questions. Making sure everybody has a nice day. I can't recommend this place enough.

The Prio is very close to the airport and was so nice to have an accommodating stay after a late flight. Very specious, a nice gym, friendly staff and was able to leave suitcases there while we visited nearby area

Fantastic hospitality. The staff have helped us with all our trips whilst in Chiangmai. Super friendly. Clean hostel. Lobby is super super chill. Also amazing lovely cat! Area is great also, lots of nice cafes, bar and shops to get any all essentials. Would definitely recommend.

What a hidden gem tucked in behind the Central Airport Plaza (they actually have a door at the back of the building leading directly to the Central parking lot). This convenience alone made it worthwhile. But, on top of that there is the 17.5-meter-long swimming pool, a gym, and a business center downstairs. The apartment is also a treat, with huge smart TV s in the living and bedroom, a proper shower, and a tub, with a separate toilet. Not to forget the fully equipped kitchen, which has everything we needed to cook own meals, but who needed that with two food courts available just a 3-minute walk to the mall. Service was a pleasure, with management and housekeeping always making sure we had everything could possibly need. We love it so much here; we have decided to stay for another two months. Tip: Choose a room facing the mountain/airport - it's quieter than the street side. The airport is quieter than one would imagine, as you only hear them when they give a short burst of thrust when they take off.

The decoration and room style of the homestay are very girlish, especially the tiles in the room. Although it is a windowless room, it is complete with all the organs and the bed is clean and comfortable. In addition to the design of the toilet sink is not very reasonable, the rest is very good. The clothes can be dryed to the balcony on the roof. But the balcony is unscreened and does not rule out the possibility of raining at night. Auntie is also very polite, will ask if you need to clean the room, if you don't need it, you will put paper towels and two bottles of water at the door, will not disturb the guests. Speaking of the location, although on the edge of the ancient city, I personally feel that it is very convenient to have a grab anywhere. The location of the hotel driver can accurately arrive and pick up, so I don't feel remote. Walking to Tha Pae Gate and Sunday night market are completely ok, and it won't be noisy to live here. 7:30-10:00 Every morning is breakfast time. The boss will say it clearly before check-in. The breakfast variety is quite good for this price accommodation. The toast instant noodles are served with various sauces, coffee, milk and hot water. I love toast bread here, very good! Finally, the little fat brother at the front desk should be the boss, very polite, will chat with us and will also carry our luggage for us, in short, I am very happy to live here for two days, Chiang Mai is a leisurely city, it is worth going again, if you stay, you don't have to consider it, recommend everyone to come here!

This was a nice place to stay. Definitely was more of a hotel vibe. There are no activities that the hostel hosts. I rarely saw another guest. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There was always someone at the desk or close by. No security guard, but there are cameras. The door to rooms is locked during the day, but not at night, which is odd, I think it should be the other way around since there is someone there during the day but not after 11pm.

2 month stay. Nice rooms, good beds, AC, fridge, TV. Good shower. Cleaned every day. Very nice breakfast every day with a Thai option freshly cooked, fruit, cereal coffee , milk etc. Su, the owner is incredibly helpful. Great laundry service. Great location in the NE side inside the Old City. Great value. Impersonal corridors and not a place to sit in the lobby etc (no lobby) but as a base. Its great! Very good wifi

This is our second visit to Chiang Mai. This time my wife and I stayed in The White Elephant Home for two nights. The location is great, very close to old city, only several minutes’ walk. I prefer to stay outside the old city for quiet, clean and comfortable neighbourhood. We booked a room for two and they upgraded us to a family room for three. The room is spacious, new and clean with a lovely balcony. The interior and exterior match the photos and description on the website. Breakfast is freshly cooked and is delicious. We enjoyed it in the lovely garden. The staff are nice and helpful, they have friendly smiles all the time. They speak good English and provided useful information to us in buying Green bus ticket to Chiang Rai. I didn't drive this time but I saw them providing car covers to guests and helped to cover and to remove it. Will definitely stay in The White Elephant Home again if we visit Chiang Mai again. Highly recommend!

Good points : great location (walking distance from the old town and near lots of great bars and places to eat), nice, friendly staff and quirky decor. Negative points : room lacking some basic facilities (which would be really easy to add). There was nowhere to put your clothes, except 4 wall hooks. We were there 8 days so would have really liked to have been able to unpack a bit. No mirror or dressing table area in the bedroom. The kettle plug didn’t reach a power socket from any of the surfaces, so I had to hold it while it boiled. There were quite a few holes in the bed linen and towels (pictures attached). The room was really clean when we checked in but wasn’t cleaned that well once we were there (especially the bathroom and shower plug area which got blocked and wouldn’t drain properly) We had to complain about the cleanliness and, fair pay to the staff, they did rectify this straight away. Note - we stayed in one of the double, upstairs rooms with a balcony, it’s got light blue decor. Overall, this could be a great place if a little more thought and ‘love’ was put into it.

To be honest, we had booked out stay at another hotel inside the old city walls, but that hotel cancelled on us last minute (we were already in Thailand!) and we were rebooked here into the Sridonchai hotel. At first I was less than thrilled to be staying outside the city walls, but I have to say, this place definitely charmed me! The location isn't bad, it is a short walk to the walls, but you are close to the night market and a bunch of bistelin shops and restaurants, so it is actually quite a good location. The hotel is very cute and my wife and I loved the style of it. The staff were friendly, and overall, we enjoyed spending part of our honeymoon here. Definitely recommend!
