After a week in Bangkok, which was pretty wonderful, this "home away from home" was paradise! The staff is exceptional, my room was spacious, and the neighborhood the best! Felt less like a tourist and more like a visiting friend or relative! We loved the location in the old city -- but walkable to the night market, restaurants and bars,... More

This was a great place to stay. More of an apartment feel than a guest house, which suited me as I came and went as I pleased. Room was big, with proper sofa as well as the bed. TV was great -- American movies plus all the international news channels. Excellent shower. Very clean throughout. Ideal location on the Eastern... More

This was recommended to us by a friend. The owner is an Aussie, like us, and knows to provide good service! The building is modern and well-maintained, everything worked and security seems to be fine. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for! Great location, just out the back of Thapae Gate, so everything is nearby and it's... More

Located near Thapae Gate on a quiet soi (except for the usual morning roosters and temple bells) this guesthouse is a little more expensive than others in the area (and some newer hotels) but it has all the amenities: AC, cable TV, wireless in room, safety box, frig, hot water pot, teapot, cups, glasses, western bedding, desk and chair plus...

Stayed at mini cost for three days with one other friend and it was very pleasant! The rooms were large and very clean with cable tv and free wifi. It was also in a great location in the old city where you could walk to many places. However it was the owners of minicost are what really set the place... More

Thailand has so many accommodation options, and they are probably all worth exploring, however remember that sometimes you get surprises when you go super cheap. This is not a super cheap guesthouse, but not expensive either. I think our room cost approx $20 Australian per night for a large room. The rooms are well designed, spacious, very clean, and the...

If you are looking for a place to stay in Chiang Mai, stay here. Is very clean and comfortable. Rooms are cleaned every day. Felt VERY safe since there are security cameras. Staff is VERY accommodating. Is in Old City and most is within walking distance. I look forward to my next visit....when I will stay longer !!!

Have stayed in Minicost twice now. (2 + weeks each time) over the years have done the cheap places to stay. Now more important that rooms are good, bright, clean. Minicost is all of these and more.... Beds are so comfortable. Staff and reception so helpful and friendly. Reccomended to my family who have also stayed there several times. Close... More

So when I booked MiniCost from New Zealand, it seemed cheap as chips in Kiwi dollars. However, once I reached Chiang Mai, I realised it was actually pretty expensive compared to other Chiang Mai guesthouses. My partner, who's stayed in Chiang Mai many times, was horrified that I'd spent so much money on accommodation! That's what he gets for leaving... More
