I stayed here for about a week, and overall had a really good experience. However, this was largely due to the facts that

1) the owners (bp and lek) are so nice and great to be around and made a really nice atmosphere downstairs
2) the location is on a great soi (street) - close to action, but yet amazingly quiet

Were it not for these two things, which mean a lot to me, i would have reviewed it with fewer stars. My room was a bit dingy and except for an occasional burst of signal, the wifi didnt reach me on the top floor. It was also a tad more expensive than other places on the same soi (i gave another hotel on the same street a resounding 5 stars here fyi).

I don't like to give poor reviews but after staying at this place over the years (first visit 5 years ago, last visit last month) it has certainly gone downhill.The mattress was horrible!! I don't think it was even a mattress, more like the box spring and it was so worn down and lumpy. The rooms are old and not so clean and the bathroom was horrible. This last time we stayed on the first floor and the toilet would erupt (make a loud splashing sound) every hour or so. The family who runs it is nice and the common area is an ok place to hang out. Only thing good is the location but as other reviewers said you can find better on the same soi.

I would give this property 5/5 if I'd of just come out of the local prison, but I haven't , so I won't .
The location is great, slap bang in the middle of the old city, just a short stroll to the many historical sites , restaurants, cafes and bars.
For 500 baht I wasn't expecting a lot and was left underwhelmed with my AC room ,en suite plus tv. Typically for a room in this price range the AC was knackered, bathroom grubby and my misses reckons she got bitten in bed ( not by me I hasten to add).Some noise at night from other guests rooms.The staff were indifferent and wifi only works in the reception area. I found the American bf sub standard for the 90 baht paid.
I would recommend staying here if you've just arrived in Chiang Mai after a long journey and all the other GH on this soi are full and you've lost the will to live and even then I'd go for a fan room.
