Baanmalai Hotel Chiangrai

The hotel is perfectly located close to the bus terminal and within easy walking distance of downtown. The staff are incredibly kind and helpful, always willing to assist with anything. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and equipped with good air-conditioning. We were especially impressed by the outstanding service: after forgetting to reclaim our deposit for the motorbike rental, the staff kindly offered to transfer the money to our next hotel so we could still receive it in cash. I have never experienced this level of kindness and service before — thank you so much! Breakfast was also very good. I would definitely stay here again!

Honestly, I stayed in loads of places during time in the north of Thailand but this one was one of the best. It had everything, the staff were amazing, the amenities were great, the room was ideal, the location was cool, the bed was comfy and the decor was closer to genuine Thai style and was great to look at. I tried staying here for an extra night but it books up fast and I can see why. The owner even took my rental bike and put it under the garage roof to protect it from a storm. The owners dogs next door are cool and one had a Lionel Messi football shirt on. There is a great laundry service across the road, an amazing Vietnamese/Thai place that's hidden behind bamboo and plants up the road that was something quite special for me as a random find. Secret coffee shops serving northern Thai coffee around all the side streets from early morning. This was a more authentic Thai experience than other hotels I had seen in the same area. They offered coffee and cooked breakfast to order for free and it was all done to a really high standard. There was always a pleasant atmosphere, the staff were lovely, the guests all seemed happy and I loved the outside area at the front with the raised decking, plants and trees. I would definitely stay here again if I was to visit the area and it was a memorable stay for me.

Great simple hotel, clean, walking distance to the center, really nice staff. Offered a simple free breakfast of eggs and toast which was convenient. Really great value for what you get. Wifi in each room and in common areas. Felt very honey and good for large groups. Ground floor units available for the less mobile.

Location, quiet at nights, cute garden area, cosy bed.

Upon arrival, you will be greeted with a smile. Very nice and hospitable receptionist. They allowed us to check-in early. Rooms were clean and spacious. A/C working perfectly. Bathrooms spacious as well and clean, woth hot shower and bidet. Shampoo, body wash, towels and slippers provided. They did not clean our rooms (which we honeslty prefer) but they leave fresh towels out the door. I guess if requested, they will clean the rooms. Breakfast is simple toast with butter and jam. You can cook eggs on their griddle, self-service, which was fun. Choice of coffee, water, milk or juice. Perfect light meal to start the day. Location is perfect, near clock tower and night market. Very accessible. Not noisy at night. Owners live next door, they were very kind as well. Best option to stay in Chiang Rai.
