Noise. Not enough reviews mention road noise. It comes in from the very busy streets and reverberates in the horseshoe shaped complex. The doors and louvered windows have no seals; I resorted to earplugs. A warning: If you stain your sheets, wash them yourself! They placed mine in a hamper by the front desk for days and made me buy them. Rude!

The pool is clean and refreshing. The room decor is cute, authentic old Thai. They make your bed daily with clean towels or change upon request. Complex and room felt clean.

Is really good value, I have stayed iplaces that were way more expensive but not as nice. Is a simple, clean room, a bit kitch but charming kinda like old Thai style. You can hear the Main Street but is not that bad. The staff is super friendly and they did my room everyday. Unlike the previous hotels I’ve stayed in Thailand.

Due to the big busy streets around the old town it is noisy throughout the day & night. I didn’t consider this from the map & would chose another location in a smaller street for my next stay in town.

There is a lot to explore in walking distance. The staff was nice.

The mattress and pillows were really uncomfortable. Also the floor made a funny noise when you walk on it that you could hear it from other rooms too

The Lai Thai Guest House didn't really meet our expectations, where after viewing the properties promotional photos beforehand, where even the pool looked inviting, we booked what was described as a deluxe double room with bamboo-lined walls. But what we ended up with, after being shown three, was just a plain-painted, basic room. There were no wardrobes, bedside cabinets, or even any drawers to put your clothes in, in any of them, so we were forced to live out of our suitcases for the duration of our stay. There weren't even any tea or coffee making facilities. And if you wanted to store your valuables, you had to pay extra, where they kept them in a safe at reception!! Then aside from being dirty and probably bug-ridden, where we both suffered bites and itches, the mattress was rock-hard and uncomfortable, where it was like sleeping on a concrete slab, and the two single pillows weren't any better either. The shower room didn't have any form of nonslip flooring, where we both had to be very careful of slipping in the soapy suds. And even though there were tables and chairs laid out, in what we presumed to be a dining area, in front of the reception, there were no signs of any restaurant activity. In fact, the only activity that was evident, was at the Red Jazz, where old-style songs were instantly repeated night after night. We would say that The Lai Thai Guest House is predominantly more suitable for the single, 'low-luggaged' traveller, rather than the 'suitcased-laden' couples or family groups.

Apart from the very polite and friendly staff that always greeted you with respect and a smile, the only thing good the Lai Thai Guest House had going for itself, was that it was just over the road, from Chiang Mai old city, and within walking distance to all the various night bazaars.

The cleanliness of the rooms especially the bathroom

The pool was nice

Stayed in December 2023

The room is allright. Bed was really really firm, and shower was low low pressure.

The general area and pool are very nice. Overall for the price we were satisfy, great location.

The lack of a safe in the room is compensated by safes at the frontdesk. Crazy is that they ask 20B per day for a safe that is too small. no watercooker in the room

The most silent airco ever in a hotel

The staff was the friendliest! Very helpful and attentive. The accommodation offered everything you need. Great value for money. It's close to the center and the night market is in walking distance. Only the beds are not super comfy but aside from that it offers all amenities you need.

My bed was way too hard to sleep comfortably. The towels for the room and pool were threadbare, occasionally even had small holes. At another hotel in Chiang Mai, the front desk had called a taxi for me, showing me that it would be cheaper than grab taxi. Once when I was going to a meeting 30 minutes or so away, I asked the front desk at Lai Thai to call a taxi for me. They quoted a price which I agreed to, because I knew it was aways away and did not know what the price should be. But then I meet someone at the meeting who had taken a grab taxi there for almost half the price. The next time I went to that place, I called my own grab taxi and it was about half the price I paid for the taxi the hotel had ordered for me. After that I only called my own grab taxis and did not request assistance from the front desk.

The room was a good size. The bathroom was fine.

Overall finish of bathroom fixtures and fittings but it's only 2 star. If you want something more upmarket can always pay more.

Note, review is based on the property only being a modest 2 star establishment, do with that in mind it is excellent value for money. The pool is a bonus and the red jazz bar on site is also a plus. South East corner of old city do location good. A/C good, everything else functional, rooms not massive, so can't really unpack, ideal for backpackers wanting a decent bed, hot shower and a relax in a pool. Didn't try the breakfast so unable to comment. For breakfast go to the French bakery round the corner and down the road. L'opera, the guy there is a magician. Croissants, bread, pastries to die for, how he does it outside his native country I have no idea. But if you want alternative to Asian breakfast 🤮 it is 10/10.
