What a lovely place!

Can't say too much more than every other review really - Mr. Kem and his family are delightful. The hotel has a good location close to the markets. They can't do enough to help you with getting your bearings in Chiang Mai, and trips, etc. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place, and would love to stay here again if I return to Chiang Mai.

The service at this guest house is perfect ! Everything worked very smoothly: pick-up from the airport. Very early breakfast on the day of our departure.
Free internet and a very basic breakfast. The location is great - within walking distance of the night market and the old town.
The room was basic with the bathroom is a worn state. Also the bed was not very comfortable as the mattresses were very soft.

We choose this guest house on the strength of the reviews on Tripadvisor. It has turned out to be first class. Mr Kem and his wife are delightful and extremely friendly. The rooms are bright, cool and clean. There are tv's in the rooms and hot water for showers. There is good wifi and free access to their pc providing you do not stay on for more than 15mins. The location is excellent being 5 mins from the night bazaar. Mr Kem also helped us in booking really good local attractions/courses etc at better rates than published prices. Highly recommend this place!

We had a great stay here. The only complaint is that the beds are rock solid. Otherwise everything was comfortable. The hosts, Mr. Kem and his wife, and the staff made us feel like family -- we could ask for advice and they steered us correctly every time. The location is unbeatable, right next to the night markets.

The best part, though was Mr. Ting! He was the driver that Vanilla Palace set us up with. For a few US dollars a day, we had a personal guide who took us everywhere we wanted to go, suggested places, and even surprised us with visits to his personal favorite temples and sites.
