• Ho Hum. Poor value.

  The place seems to be on a down-hill slide as it's even more scruffy than when I stayed here a couple of years ago - maybe I didn't notice the grotty shower, pokey 'double' room and poor ventilation which made the room really stuffy. Seem to be coasting on a previous good scene and 250b for a night was much dearer than it was worth. Left next day and went around the corner to Mae Kok Villa which was WONDERFUL and NEW and SPACIOUS and CHEAPER. So there.

• Great!

  came here from Laos. Booked in advance on their webpage. Quick respons. When we came we were welcomed as friends and loads of smiles. We was trilled with our fan room with tv , double bed, really hot shower and free wifi :) Beautiful garden. we ate all our meals in the restaurant. A good place to meet other travellers.If ever back in Chiang Rai , we will stay here.

• ok

  Friendly and relatively good value. Not always as clean as one would hope. A little far out of the city. There is a restaurant to hang out, the food is ok. Organised trips are great though.

• Backpackers Paradise

  This place is great for backpackers uniting. Met wonderful people from all over the world. The resturant/lounge and garden set a super chill vibe to relax and socialize. The room was a great value for the price and the shower was clean and hot! The staff make you feel at home and offer great advice for day trips, as well as offering 1 to 3 day treks into the mountains. If you want your own room with private bath you definately want to make a reservation as this place is always booked.

• same same

  Not much change. There is building going on at the neighbours and they do luv 4'' grinders but its only during the day. The ensuite rooms are much better than the basic ones. No problems wandering about at night

  Stayed here for two days and really enjoyed the stay here. Great place to meet like-minded travelers. The staff working there were extremely helpful and provided me with good information. Would definitely recommend anyone coming to Chiangrai to stay here.

• Nice guesthouse

  Nice Rooms, especially if you got one in the garden. showers are gas heated so dont think about cold water. Friendly thai and swiss staff there. Good food too. If you like to book a trek with them be careful with the price. Paid for a two day trip 1000Baht more than my compagnon who booked direct with the guide. No real refund by the way. But trekking with the guide called Lou is highly recomended.

• Nice stay

  Lovely ambience here, great chilled-out restaurant area, and good food too. Rooms basic but clean and what a shower ! Tremendous. Overall a very comfortable stay and very friendly staff. We'll be back for sure. One note : It's really not far down the soi to Chat GH ( 50 metres ) so don't worry about walking back there.

• Very Friendly

  We found Chat House very friendly and helpful. Our room was in a separate 'bungalow' and had air con and a clean bathroom with a great hot shower (very hot!)amd spotless western toilet. The bed was soft and had really fluffy pillows. One small downside was that the room was obviously quite old and musty, the only criticism is that it could do with a lick of paint! The common area was bright and easy to relax in and the limited menu was tasty. The garden is really lovely and it is very nice to sit in of an evening and eat dinner as we did one night. Altogether a very comfortable and quiet stay, although the local dogs do howl a bit at night, but not enough to keep you up, it's just a bit eerie! Please note, that Chat House is a 5 min walk from all the bars and main bit of town, but at night the road back is very quiet and a bit spooky, if you are a bit nervous about walking in the dark late at night, we recommend you grab one of the many tuk-tuks available by the night market. It costs about 40 baht.
