Hotel in Chiang Mai
New hotel with well appointed standard rooms at good rates. Location is very central and convenient.

A bit out of the way, but still reasonable walking distance to the Night Bazaar. Every room has a music genre theme.

Good value for money and good location are strong points of this budget hotel.

Japanese Invasion Redux: A Ryokan and a capsule hotel in the same road. Still, the whole hostel concept seems slightly out of place in Chiang Mai, where a real private room with private bathroom is still only a few hundred Baht.
Capsule Hostels;Capsule Hotels
Budget hotel with clean basic rooms at a good location. Expect no luxury for 400-500 Baht but accommodation is acceptable.

A Ryokan (traditional Japanese inn) in Chiang Mai. WIth restaurant. Very new (early 2017) and looks great.

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

The former Western House, renovated and renamed, and probably more than the erstwhile 500 Baht per night.

As often observed in Thailand, lack of management over time leads to a lack of attention to detail. Nice pool area though.
Hotels
No-descript budget hotel that may not be all bad, especially as the infrastructure in the area is getting better.

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

Just recently this was a nursing school. Chiang Mai is changing fast.

Misspelled street name (in English) leads to misspelled business names. It should be Wiang Bua

Ratchamankha has signage anywhere. Interesting new concepts in today's age of over-advertising. One of the biggest success stories in the last few decades.

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.

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.

A family home converted to a boutique hotel with just 8 rooms. Reasonable rates and good location.

Long-established and well-reviewed guesthouse/hotel at a good location. Also has a restaurant named 'Old City Kitchen'

Love hotels, Maan Rood ม่านรูด in Thai, are a dying breed in Thailand, as building permits are not issued for new properties and the old ones are making way for higher value buildings. Privacy is paramount here, guests drive in and a curtain is closed behind him to hide the vehicle. Then the room fee is paid in cash, it has been 300 Baht for "the whole night" or 60 Baht per half hour for many years. Beds don't have sheets unless it's winter and cold. There may be x-rated movies on the TV, although this has become less common in recent years. This also goes for companionship supplied by some establishments on request.
It can be an interesting experience to spend 120 Baht for an hour at a Thai love hotel before they expire.

A hidden gem serving Lanna Thai cuisine, also accommodation with a garden pool. Too bad most restaurant reviews are conflated with the hotel reviews.

One of the many B2 objects, generally clean budget hotels all over Chiang Mai and Thailand.

Quiet hotel at a central location. Pretty new, so staff may not always be up to par (yet).
Hotels;Boutique Hotels
Good budget choice at a very convenient location if you like the artsy (and pretentious) Nimmanhaemin area. Read the Tripadvisor review of TCC4. A VERY Thai experience, but it was a while ago.
Hotels
Wualai is still not a perfect location but it's up and coming and gentrifying quickly (now even featuring a Ryokan). This is a new boutique hotel option in the area.

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 nicely styled new resort hotel at the western moat, away from the tourist areas. Solid four star standard with a nice pool and a good price.
Hotels
Now (2015) open for over ten years, the hotel has firmly established itself as a luxury Chiang Mai accommodation pick. The location isn't the greatest but it's quiet and management has done a great job in recent years in retaining return visitors.

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

Consistently rave reviews: Good location and friendly staff make this a good choice and great value.

A relatively new and nicely designed love hotel with themed rooms. Most love hotels in Chiang Mai are quite run down, but this one may be one of the nicer ones judging from the outward appearance.
Love Hotels;Short-Time Hotels
This hotel is a bargain if you can stay slightly outside of the central city area. Rooms are quite spacious and clean with great bathrooms and rain showers. The hotel was planned with a lot of effort and built with a lot of money, but it never made it to be a top choice for travellers. This makes for a quiet stay for those shunning large crowds. Overall this may be the best value hotel in Chiang Mai.
