The Baanlek Homestay was the perfect place for our short stay in Chiang Mai.
Lek was a lovely, kind host and the property is attractive and well kept.
Although we were visiting during the bustling Loy Krathong festival, the immediate area was quiet even then.

Lek and his wife were lovely hosts and the room was fresh and clean, with my bed being made for me each day. Lek is a really nice guy too, and plays the guitar well.
The guest house is an old Thai teak building about 5 mins walk from Chiang Mai gate with easy access to the evening food market there.
Being outside the old city, it's quieter than it is inside, but one's also near enough to reach it without any issue.
Also, for me, I liked being near the Old Medicine Hospital (for great Thai massages).
In the mornings there's free instant coffee and tea.
Their cat, Cocoa, was also friendly.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to anyone that is travelling through Chiang Mai. Lek and his partner go out of their way to make you feel welcome and I have never seen such attention to guests' needs before. Every morning a different breakfast is prepared for you depending on your tastes, either Thai or western dishes. I can highly recommend the Thai dishes.
The accommodation itself is very tidy and a great example of a traditional Thai house. This in itself was part of the reason I wanted to stay, just to have the experience. The airconditioning is effective and you have everything you need. I can imagine some people may be underwhelmed if they are used to 5 star accommodation so I don’t want to give the impression that it is. The linen is lovely and toiletries replaced daily.
The courtyard where breakfast is served is a relaxing haven in a well packed and busy city.
I can't recommend this accommodation highly enough. The management and the truly personal service they provide is the best I’ve seen.
I will return here whenever I am in Chiang Mai again. It has been the best hotel experience of my life, without doubt.

Everyone who works here is super nice. They helped me out on my last day after already checking out when I got caught in a down pour on a hike and was too wet/disgusting to go straight to the airport.

Basic facilities, but friendly staff
Posted 23 Dec 2017 on Orbitz
Pros: Good location, owners are nice, good breakfast, free airport transfers, good wi-fi
Cons: Shower had minimal hot water
The room is basic and it got cold at night. But if was fairly clean, they provided free bottled water in the fridge, and the wi-fi works well. What this place lacks in capital, they make up for in hospitality. The husband and wife owners are very nice and would chase me down and insist on serving me (free) breakfast. They also did my laundry (didn't charge me) and gave me a free ride to the airport.
