北極星旅館 (North Star Guest House)

星級評鑑以住宿資訊（飯店提供之服務與設施等）綜合評等為基準，僅供參考

There were a few issues: (1) The walls seemed to be paper-thin, in that I could hear my neighbour's conversations. It was uncomfortable at 2 am hearing someone playing a guitar. (2) The bed was terribly uncomfortable. I could feel the metal wires through the mattress. (3) The guest assistant/manager seemed to always be cross/cranky/or rather upset with guests. I can't explain why. Overall, I would not stay again.

Staff was helpful and friendly

Bare bones but solid. It is definitely no frills but does have everything you need. Safe, easy to get around (it's not a hard walk to much of the Old City), and convenient. The place has a tour desk and most tours will pick you up from the hotel. The staff is friendly and helpful. One note the bathroom is small. The shower is the whole bathroom. Consider this if that is an issue for you. Would stay here again.

Value for money, cheap and simple room, right in town and close to whatever you need

Value for money. Suit young people.

Nice, clean, cheap and close to Thae Pae Gate.

A cave, no windows, bathroom is in the toilets...

It was perfect value for money

Room was over crowded with super size bed (good for a family of 4). Floor had holes and loose pieces. Air con worked well and upstairs seating was nice. Don't think down stairs rooms have windows.

I don't know what people expect to get for cheap accommodation these days, but clearly, more than what they're getting. I've stayed in many guest houses in Chiang Mai, in fact I live here and booked a room for a friend and myself for 1 night on the town. Yes, it's old and dilapidated, but we paid under 300 Baht for a double! Anything less than 400 Baht is going to be a bit of a dump. However, we needed a place to sleep for the night and this place met our needs. I found the people friendly enough - keep in mind that how you treat people depends on how they treat you back. I'm sure they deal with a lot of entitled tourists with attitudes on a daily basis. There are a lot of other guest houses and bars within walking distance, as well as a restaurant or two. You can walk to Loi Kroh within 10 mins. Just keep your expectations low, and you won't be disappointed.
