Baan Malai Guesthouse

Nice hotel at quite location with welcoming reception and friendly staffs. Complimentary breakfast in a beautiful courtyard, what a gesture!

We spent three nights at the Baan Malai. The hotel was clean and comfortable and location is safe, just a little out of the action -- a short walk -- so the 3 rating isn't really a negative rating. My overall ratings are based on consideration of price and type of lodging, not comparing it to a high end hotel. The hotel provided a very light self-serve breakfast of bread/toast, jam, fruit, coffee or tea which was nice to get us out the door in the morning. The staff was very helpful. We had a scheduled tour that another hotel guest boarded in error -- the operator thought it was my wife and I and took off on the tour. The staff called the tour folks and straightened out the mixup so that we made a connection to the tour, albeit late. The hotel is not on a main road so there is little traffic, but it is only a short walk to things. On the day of our departure, the owner hopped on his scooter and fetched us a tuk tuk to get us to the bus station. So we had very good experience with staff. The staff had limited English, but that was no impediment to service.

For the price it was excellent. Almost spotless except a bit of mildew on shower curtain and grout. Has private patio. Complimentary breakfast was toast and bananas but good fresh-ground coffee. Agree with other posts that the walk to nearest street is long, dark and creepy. Did it once on my own to get to the night market but halfway back to the hotel I paid a tuk tuk to take me the last 3 blocks. Manager helped to arrange a good tour with a great guide and even drove me to the bus stop in his own car. They have pet bunnies in the courtyard! Even have collars. Oh and great wifi connection.

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour dans ce guest house. Le personnel est très agréable et il est vraiment proche des principales choses à voir à Chiang Rai. Nous y retournerons sans hésiter.

バスターミナルからは徒歩5分くらいで分かりやすい場所です。周りはゲストハウスが多く点在する住宅街といった感じです。オーナーをはじめスタッフは皆感じの良い方ばかりです。部屋は広く清潔でバルコニー付きでした。朝食はコーヒー、トースト、バナナ等が自由に食べられます。大通りから250メートルほど入るのですが、この道（Wiang Inn Hotelの駐車場に面した辺り）が暗く夜は犬の鳴き声も聞こえ少々怖いです。（実際に吠えられはしませんでしたが）
