Guesthouse in Chiang Mai
Read the Tripadvisor reviews. A typical place that had its heyday in the 1990's and is now run down with no money for upgrades and repairs as there are so many other accommodation options in Chiang Mai. The location is quite good but bad management and jaded staff should probably have you look at alternatives. Positive remnants from the nineties are the teak decorations and the pool that today would be almost uaffordable.

Very artsy and funky (literally). Price seems excessive for a guesthouse in a townhouse.

Opened in early 2015, the owners really make an effort to please the guests in their quiet and leafy villa decorated with historical artifacts and furniture.

Interesting location but not well reviewed currently. Check out Tripadvisor reviews.

Pronounced Djaeng Mueang - Djäng Müang. Not obvious that this is a guesthouse as well.

Another low-profile guesthouse that can be recommended. Excellent value and friendly staff at a good location make this a good choice.

Dominating an entire area, the YMCA has done a lot over the past decades to put Chiang Mai on the map. Alas, as with so many other places in Chiang Mai, the YMCA looks a bit worn and outdated inside. But it still works as budget accommodation in a good location with many acitivies. The YMCA Chiang Mai also houses a prominent language school where Thai is taught at bargain rates.

Not at the best location, but friendly owners and nice ambiance.

A good example of how to turn a house into a guesthouse. Very pleasant and green surroundings. Good and quiet location.

Remember that the name is as above, not just "Manon". There is another place named Manon in Chiang Mai.

Slightly worn budget guesthouse at a quiet yet central location in Chiang Mai. Perfectly acceptable accommodation. Low weekly and monthly rates.
Guesthouse
A new guesthouse with modern facilities like rain showers and fast WiFi. The location at Chang Puak Gate may not be ideal for all but the area has full infrastructure. It's about a 2 km (20 minute) walk to Thapae Gate, 30 mins to the Night Bazaar.

Has four private, hotel-style rooms, unlike the hostels in the area.

Popular with the motorcycle touring crowd. Known for steaks and heavy breakfasts.

Recommended, consistently well-reviewed guesthouse in a central location. Now with three branches.

Probably not a good choice. There are so many other options. Be sure to check Tripadvisor before checking in.

Brand new and good location, no reviews in yet. Be careful not to confuse this with the much more expensive De Naga hotel that is not far away.

Small and cozy guesthouse in Chiang Mai at a good location. Very good price for a hotel with full amenities and a pool.
Guesthouse
It's pronounced "Pa Ja Git". Very friendly staff and reasonable rates with good decoration, but the area is towards the mountain, not the tourist areas. This maybe an advantage for some.

Pretty surroundings and good location at excellent value.

Old classic but definitely run down and in need of a major overhaul. Some rooms are good, most are unacceptable. Update 2017 The bad rooms have gotten worse, now they even save by not putting soap in rooms and neglect cleaning. The only highlight is the pool area. It's a bit better than sleeping on the street but that's about it.

Hard to make out that his is a guesthouse. But it probably is.

New hostel (behold the fashionable @-sign in the name. Looks proper. Dorms are available. nfeedback yet.

Low rates and a very Thai atmosphere with typical windows to the hallway. Check-out is an unusually early 10 am, so nightowls beware.
Guesthouses
Standard backpacker guesthouse with prices (and some facilities) stuck in the nineties. You get what you pay for so no push back via bad reviews. The location is not convenient for partying but good to get into the mountains quickly. Also, a tailor is available onsite who may fix your party-ripped clothes.

Older low profile place that accepts pets to some extent while the lobby is home to a number of dogs. It's hard to make out that this is a hotel or other form of accommodation. Leafy and quiet near the south-western corner of the moat, right next to the Suan Buak Haad Park.

A startup guesthouse with a Beatles theme. Four bucks for a fan dorm bed (2014).

Free standing house with large communal areas. Away from the bustle of the tourist areas. It's advisable to rent a scooter to get around town as walking from here is inconvenient.

Just seven rooms in the Santhitham/YMCA area, cozy and well located with friendly host and staff.

Newly built boutique hotel with just ten rooms which enables more attention to individual guests. Location is leafy and cozy near the YMCA. Taxi drivers should also be directed to the YMCA, as it will take hours to explain the name of this hotel. As a side note, guest house and hotel names in Chiang Mai get ever more, well, interesting. At least this one could be dead last alphabetical lists for a while, until someone comes up with "Zzzzorie Full".
