Loft Style Townhouse Near Old City

A two-storey townhouse in one of Chiang Mai's oldest residential neighbourhoods, priced from ฿361 per night — which, if you do the arithmetic, is less than a bed in many hostels. What you get for that price is not a shared dorm but an entire house: a common area with kitchen on the ground floor, private bedrooms upstairs, and the kind of quiet residential street where the most disruptive sound is a rooster at dawn and the aroma of a neighbour's morning khao soi drifting through the soi.

Location and Getting Around

The townhouse sits on Soi Chiang Mai Land 9, approximately 2.8 kilometres from the Old City and 3.0 kilometres from Chiang Mai International Airport — a 10-minute drive in either direction, or a 30-baht red songthaew ride. Promenada Resort Mall is just 340 metres away, providing supermarkets, restaurants, and a cinema within walking distance. The property neighbours one of modern Chiang Mai's oldest communities, which in practical terms means real local restaurants — not tourist-menu versions — line the surrounding streets.

The Night Bazaar area is 2.5 kilometres north, Wua Lai Walking Street 2 kilometres west, and Art in Paradise (the 3D art museum) sits 1.5 kilometres away. Trekker Camp, another budget-friendly property on this site, is just 500 metres from here.

The House

Ground floor: a shared living room and a fully equipped kitchen — microwave, electric kettle, coffee machine, cookware, cutlery. This is a real kitchen, not a decorative one: guests who want to cook their own meals (market produce from Promenada's supermarket, 5 minutes on foot) can do so without improvisation.

Upper floor: bedrooms with tiled floors, flat-screen TVs with streaming services, and private bathrooms with walk-in showers and hair dryers. The Triple Room (34 sqm) holds a king-size bed plus a sofa bed and looks onto the garden; the Double Room (22 sqm) has a queen-size bed with an outdoor view. Free WiFi runs throughout the property.

Facilities Worth Knowing About

The standout amenity is not inside the property: a sports club 150 metres away grants guest access to an outdoor swimming pool, tennis court, and fitness room for ฿60 per person per day. That is not a misprint — sixty baht for a pool, gym, and tennis court. The townhouse itself has a garden, a terrace, and a balcony. Airport shuttle service is available, and there is an electric vehicle charging station on site.

What Guests Say

Review score: 7.8/10 from 58 reviews. Value for money scores 8.6 against a city average of 8.3 — guests consistently feel they received more than they paid for. Facilities score 8.5 versus the city's 7.8. Service (7.4) and cleanliness (8.1) sit slightly below city averages (8.5 and 8.4 respectively), which is consistent with a self-service house rather than a staffed hotel: there is no front desk team hovering, and that is either a feature or a drawback depending on what you want.

Who This Is For

Budget travellers, small groups, and families who want an entire house at a fraction of hotel prices. Digital nomads who need a kitchen and a quiet residential base rather than a hotel lobby. Anyone who values independence over service — the trade-off here is explicit: you get privacy and space, not a concierge. At ฿361 per night for the whole property, it is one of the most cost-effective accommodations on this entire site, and the nearby sports club at ฿60/day effectively gives you resort-grade facilities without the resort price tag.
