The 3-star guest house has city views and is 5.6 km from Wat Phra Singh. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a terrace.

Very close to the airport, which was perfect as we arrived in the evening, we were greeting upon arrival with our names up on the wall which was a lovely touch. The guest house is well decorated with attention to detail everywhere and many pillows of course! There is a common area with a kitchen, so you can cook your own food and make drinks etc. My 9 year old son loved the space and wanted to make sure I gave it a 10/10.

Located in Chiang Mai, 400 metres from Chedi Luang Temple and 400 metres from the centre, Nu Phen Homestay provides air-conditioned accommodation with free WiFi, and a shared lounge. It is situated 700 metres from Wat Phra Singh and features full-day security. The guest house features family rooms.

It was our first Homestay experience as a family of six. We really enjoyed meeting people from all over the world. Noon was an exceptional host! She hired a driver to take us to Chiang Rai which was significantly cheaper than going with a tour group. She also provided our younger kids with a few toys and crafts. She was so sweet and generous! We grew very fond of her and her family during our 12 day stay. The property was very clean and tidy. We never had an issue with sharing the bathrooms even though I had been nervous about it. The linens and pillows were very comfortable. The breakfast was simple fresh fruit, toast and jam, and some variety (egg, banana or toasted coconut) of sticky rice wrapped in a banana leaf. There is a woman just 100 meters down the alleyway that makes fresh fruit smoothies and espresso drinks for 35Bht. We visited her often. The location is excellent! All the night markets are close enough to walk to. I enjoyed exercising in the city park which is very close as well.

    I returned twice and stayed at this place for 12 nights. I love it because: + friendly and responsive staff & host (english speaking) + clean toilet, bed & common areas + quiet and relaxing environment surrounded by trees + nice outdoor kitchen and hangout area + a lot of cheap eateries & beverages close by + close to nature activities, e.g. monk's trail, wat umong, etc. + beautiful lightning of the trees at night - bicycle parking point at the venue, so you can rent a bicycle via app

    The host was super nice and very helpful, the breakfasts were delicious, the garden area had such a lovely vibe (perfect for reading or relaxing after a long day of exploring) and the hotel was in a quiet neighboorhood with a wonderful indian restaurant just around the corner. Chiang Mai's city centre was easy to get to - either using a Grab, or walking 30mins or so. There were also free bikes! Overall, the hotel exceeded our expectations and was one of our favourite accommodations from our entire trip to Thailand and Vietnam

    Boutique hotel in a quiet side-street, yet close to major sites. Elegantly furnished in traditional Thai style. Full complement of foreign news channels. Lobby features specialty teas for sale to connoisseurs. Rare for a small three storey hotel, it has a lift/elevator. Quieter side-rooms face a neighbouring block without windows, so private. Charming antique-style brass fittings in the bathroom. Helpful and polite staff who do their best with limited English, especially Rein

    The room was exactly like in the picture. Also quiet and comfortable! The location especially was really good. We really enjoyed our stay at the lemon guesthouse and thank the hostess for her hospitality. She gave us good recommendations for restaurants and travel tips and took care of us when my boyfriend had food poisoning. I really recommend the lemon guesthouse!

    Beautifully appointed and decorated teak-house style boutique hotel squeezing every ounce of space from a compact plot. Thoughtfully designed, lush gardens and lots of charming Lanna fixtures and fittings. One massage mix up aside, first class service from all the staff who were polite and efficient throughout. Breakfast was good quality although a little limited in choice. Home made jans were a lovely touch Great location walkable to all main streets in the old town .

    Non is a superhost, charming person, available for you and recommending places to go to. I was running late for my bus and he was at the ready to take me there in case my grab was late. Not only that, he tried making every reservation/renting easy for us, I cannot be grateful enough for him. The room and bed were comfortable, it was quiet so I could rest peacefully, the free breakfast was much appreciated and watching the carpas was lovely.

    This is a cute, very clean and well-situated guesthouse. It is boutique chic with a quaint yard where one could sit out in the morning sun. The building is an awesome renovated house and my room was really comfortable. I slept like a bear in the big bed, thankful for the quiet and the black-out curtains. It was everything I needed for a great rest; simple, really clean, very comfortable and close in the old city to walk everywhere. There is a great cafe on the corner and it's in an interesting neighborhood.
