This Australian-Thai owned place has spotless rooms all powered by solar energy. Three cheers! The management are friendly and chatty. If you're not planning on trekking, make that clear before you check in. You have to pay extra for towels and sheets as there are none on the beds. Movies are shown in the restaurant area on a large screen. The small in-house restaurant does Thai, western and vegetarian food. Vegemite is available. Reservations are accepted by telephone only.

Jonadda Guest House reviews

Read 6 opinions from Travelfish readers

Cheap and friendly - 25th June, 2009
Room with windows and bathroom on 4th floor go for 250B at the moment; staff is friendly; the room was reasonably clean but not super clean. There are 2 noisy live-music bars right around the corner so bring earplugs. The common area is rather small and mostly for drinking. Somehow the place is rather bland.

Small but clean; great shower - 26th February, 2009
I stayed in a single which was quite small, but the room was very clean. The shower had great water pressure (even up on the fourth floor), great for blasting off the grime from a trek. Excellent location and very good price.

They lied to us, but clean - 2nd February, 2009
I come to CM once a month and had been to lots of places before finding Jonadda. I wanted to love this place because it's clean... We were talking about Riverside Bar which has a dinner cruise. Our friends were going so we wanted to join. Pannada overheard us and said that she'd book it. Great. The ride showed up and it was for some other company's dinner cruise, twice the price. We declined. She was upset with us over her mistake. We rushed by tuk-tuk to Riverside but the cruise -- with our friends on it -- was full. The next morning we were told that they needed the room and we were told to leave. We left, turned the corner and called to see if they had rooms. They did... can't stand a liar.

Clean and friendly - 16th August, 2007
I highly recommend staying here. The rooms are extremely clean and do come with sheets (lovely silk ones), solar hot water, there is a guard at the door throughout the night, Pannada and the other ladies are also very nice and helpful. I booked a trekking trip and had a great time. They hold your bags and make sure you have a room when you return. If you need anything they will help. Laundry service is quick. The guesthouse itself has lovely decor and it is very affordable. Chat with Jon and play with the dog while reading the paper in the morning. A backpacker's haven after a slew of mediocre guesthouses in other Thai cities.

Dont pre-book - 14th July, 2006
This place works on principle of client in room preferable to booked client. Frequently over book rooms. Moved on to another guesthouse which was better long term.

Quite good choice - 10th April, 2005
The staff is not really friendly but the rooms are clean (the cleanest we've seen in a Chiang Mai budget guest house so far, anyway). They have a nice public balcony.
