We stayed here for 3 nights and had the loveliest time. Nice, quiet, helpful and dedicated staff. I can't say enough nice things about this place. Perfect walking distance for Sunday market. The food was so good we ended up eating almost every meal here. And when itcame time to leave, they packed us a lovely picnic!

I don't know what the prior post is about as there was no live music or oily men trying to sit at our table.

The Queen Victoria Inn and Bar and Restaurant and whatever else just changed hands again.

And this time, it's gone very Thai. Whereas up until two days ago, it was a nice place for a quiet beer and free WiFi and a bit of chat with the staff, now it's become a "live music" venue- beginning at about 3 in the afternoon. Gee, I hope you really enjoy horribly-sung Thai love songs all afternoon. If you've made the very ill-informed decision to stay here, it won't be quiet. It won't be peaceful and it probably won't be "friendly" because all the English-speaking staff quit. So now you can "chat" with the oily, weasely guy who hits on every women who comes the place. If I were a woman I'd not be happy trying to eat with some oily jerk inviting himself to sit down at my table and talk about taking me to the Walking Market...

jJust so, so negative. Avoid.

We are a couple in our 60's and just spent 5 nights at the Queen Victoria Inn at the recommendation of a friend. We enjoy the ambience of small guest houses and the QV did not disappoint. It felt like home. The room, though basic, was comfortable and clean, the staff were friendly, and the food served in their bar/restaurant was excellent. Both food and room were very reasonably priced. If we ever return to Chiang Mai, we would stay here again without hesitation.
