街の中心部から遠いが、優良な宿

チェンマイの街の中心部からかなり離れているというのが唯一の難点だが、それ以外はかなり優良な宿。 近くには、市場やローカルなフードコートやスーパーマーケットなどもあり、ローカルな雰囲気の中でのんびり過ごしたいという人にはおすすめ。 あと、宿のスタッフも感じが良く、親切であり、程よい距離感で接してくれる。 チェックイン時に、お手製の地図で周辺の店情報や観光情報などを時間をかけて案内してくれると思う。 部屋は毎日ベッドメイクがあり、その際にバスタオルは交換用バスケットに入れておけば新しいものに交換してくれる また、石鹸やシャンプーなど備品の他、毎日750mlの水ボトルが２本支給される。 ちなみに、宿の一階はカフェスペースになっており、猫カフェほどではないが数匹の猫が飼われていてそれをウリにしている。 宿泊者はカフェ内のパソコンなども利用可能だし、wifiも部屋で使える。 宿には自転車もあり余っていれば無料で貸し出してくれる。ただ、自転車のサドルの高さが工具がないと調整できないので、高さが合わない自転車の利用は避けたほうが無難。 チェンマイ２度目とかで、観光よりものんびり過ごしたいという人にはかなりおすすめの宿。

Banilah is a lovely boutique hotel. The girls are super helpful with their maps and knowledge of the area. Although located out of the city it is most certainly walkable. There are lots of local eating places nearby. We really enjoyed our stay here. The little touches made it even more pleasant

Good value for money

Fave thing about the guesthouse - The staff, particularly Nancy (not sure if the spelling is right), was very helpful. She was friendly to us, and was very warm to our toddler. She even helped carry him up and down the stairs a couple of time! She gave maps and tips to navigate the area, places of interest, etc. Least fave thing about the guesthouse - The bathroom was outside of the room, you have to go out to the balcony to access the bathroom. But we were fine with it.

Hands down, best service and assistance on town!

You can people next door at times, but really people were very respectful. The location is good with it just minutes from the northwest mote. Lots of coffee and Thai restaurants in the area. Free use if their bikes to take to Maya mall. They have a cat cafe attached to the hotel. But you can sit outdoors if allergic.

Our highest recommendations to the place itself and deep gratitude to people who work there and hosted our family so very well. The place is super clean (everyday room clean service), nice and 7 mins on bike to the Old City Centre. Should be mentioned that In the room there is a desk that may be handy in case you work freelance. The neighborhood has everything you may probably need: from delicious bakery two minutes away up to laundry service. The stuff welcomes with a beautiful smile and well prepared maps with all hot spots and super helpful recommendations that believe me you will use on an everyday basis. So far traveling in Thailand for two months we may say confidentially that the hosts are the best and it’s important as you meet the neighborhood for the first time ! Honestly speaking, it felt like home staying over there for 11 days. Very friendly, kind atmosphere which of course due to super hosts. Keep notes: The Internet connection is high but the signal may drop once you are in the room so be prepared it may jump a bit but overall it’s perfect. The room has everything you may need and super clean , the only thing is that there is no height mirror (but that’s not critical I believe, is it?). And be ready that it can be a bit noisy in the room especially if you rent a first floor one as it is close to the road but I assure you after awhile it doesn’t bother at all. We are absolutely sure that the place is super great as for a single traveler as for a company.

Zimmer sind in Ordnung, die Klimaanlage funktioniert, das Personal ist super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Z.B. wurde uns eine Taxi App (GRAB) and Herz gelegt, mit welcher wir insgrsamz bestimmt an die 1000 Baht gespart haben. Gepäcklagerung bis zur Weiterreise am Abend war kein Problem. Roller kann man an der Rezeption bestellen und der wird dann von extern gebracht. Alles super

コンパクトな部屋だけどホスピタリティあふれるスタッフのいる宿

部屋はコンパクトですが清潔なので安心して過ごせました。 シャワーとトイレがちょっと近いかな？シャワーを固定させて浴びるといろんな所がびしょ濡れになるので手持ちをオススメします。 スタッフが朝8時〜夜8時まで常時滞在しているので、何かあった時に助かります。 日本語は通じませんが英語ができるスタッフがいます。 到着した時に周辺のサービスなどの説明を丁寧に説明してくれて助かりました。 ソンテウのドライバーに場所を伝えられるようにタイ語でゲストハウスの場所を書いたものをもらえたので、良かったです。ソンテウドライバーに伝えづらい場所だったので。 スタッフは顔を見ると「大丈夫？問題ない？」といつも気にかけてくれます。 困ったことがあると相談に乗ってくれたので助かりました。 施設も大事ですが、とてもホスピタリティのあるゲストハウスです。 自転車も無料で貸してもらえました。 滞在中ずっと借りっぱなしでいいと言うことだったので、毎日乗り回してました。 中心地からちょっと離れてますが、高くにおいしいクロワッサンのお店やおいしいコーヒーの飲めるカフェもあるので楽しめました。 洗濯物を干す場所がないのが残念。 自分で洗ってもあまり干せません。 ただ、近くに洗濯屋さんがあるのでそこに洗濯物を出してしまうと良いと思います。 お手頃な洗濯屋さんが近くにあります。 場所はゲストハウスの人に聞くと教えてもらえますよ。 英語が全くできないと難しいかもしれませんが、海外旅行やチェンマイが初めての人にもスタッフがとても良い人なのでオススメです。 もちろん、ベテランさんにもオススメです。 ゲストハウス内で日本人には会わなかったかな。 また行きたいと思うゲストハウスになりました！

Banilah July 2017

Can't be more positive about the staff, absolutely fantastic. Sat us down when we arrived and marked our key destinations on a map for the city. Really helped as the close sureounding area is all Thai locals and no english signs etc. The staff also helped introduce us to taxi apps rather than using the local tuc-tucs, which proved so much cheaper (despite finding out afterwards that this isn't approved bt the Thai government lol, it still worked). Really nice rooms for the price too with good A/C. Can't really fault it
