A Fantastic Budget Stay in Chiang Mai Baan Ploy Inn is a wonderful choice for budget-conscious travelers, whether you’re a solo adventurer or a young couple. The location is absolutely perfect—nestled close to beautiful temples and charming cafés, making it easy to explore the heart of Chiang Mai. The staff are friendly, speak fairly good English, and go out of their way to assist with any needs. One of the most convenient aspects is the nearby laundromat, which is a great perk for longer stays. The breakfast is simple but sufficient, with toast, boiled eggs, instant tea/coffee, and juice—just enough for a light start to the day. Given the price, this place offers incredible value for money. Overall, I’d rate my experience 10/10 for value and 8/10 overall. It’s a fantastic option for anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-located stay in Chiang Mai without breaking the bank. Highly recommended!

It was clean, very big room and good staff.

It didn’t have night stands, charger or light switch next to the bed.

Our room was ready when we arrived between 13.00 and 14.00 which was great because we came with a sleeper train and realy needed to refresh. The staff is very friendly, helpful and they respond quickly on booking. We came here in the time of the big flood and they were very helpful with the real state if things because the news and the internet were not very informative. It was also great that we were able to leave the luggage after the check out until departure of our transportation to the next location. They also prepared us a breakfest to go on the day that we had cooking class and had to leave the hotel earlier than the breakfest started.

It was a little bit of a hustel to open the locker every time we came back to the hotel and exchange our shoes for their flip flops. In the end we just left our shoes in the rack and went to our room without the flip flops. But I guess they do it for the safety.

Really good location The dorms are very spacious, clean, 3 ACs in the room and lockers everywhere. The beds are extremely comfy with proper duvets. Several toilets and showers with hot and good pressure water.

Breakfast is very simple. They could offer a little fruit plate. The sausage was terrible. The hostel doesn’t have a sociable vibe because it doesn’t really have a common area or a bar where people can get together.

I stayed here twice during my stay in Chiang Mai, once paying cash (not via Booking) in the shared rooms (bunks) and then went back later into a private room. This place is impeccably clean, the rooms are spacious, the beds comfortable. They have privacy curtains in the dorm rooms and very large lockers for your bags. There are hair dryers in the bathroom (private rooms have their own bathroom and driers but note that the TVs don't work). The bathrooms are modern, western-style (large closed-in shower stall) and private, you have sink, toilet and shower to yourself in a room you can lock (5 of these per floor). The location in the Northwest corner of old town is great for walking everywhere and living on a quiet street.

I found this issue in several southeast Asian hotels and hostels. I find that the air conditioning causes breathing issues, kind of like having a cold or allergies. I'm not sure if it's the air con, or dust mites or both. The hostel told me that they have the air con units cleaned every two months. I found the Wi-Fi to be choppy. It tends to disconnect and is very slow when uploading photos. Otherwise, there isn't much to dislike.

No-shoe policy added to cleanliness. • Easy check-in with late check-in option. • Friendly and helpful staff. • Super convenient location near cafes. • Comfortable, clean bed with good storage options. • Clean bathrooms and showers, maintained daily. • Privacy was respected. • Nice common area to relax.

24-hour check-in was convenient but noisy at night. • Street noise was noticeable but expected in Thailand.

This place is absolutely beautiful. The setup is everything, I love it so much. I stayed in a mixed dormitory on the 3rd floor. The dorm is spacious and CLEAN. The bathroom area is everything( almost like a hotel setup) love it so much. It's Super CLEAN. The location is perfect, close to the night market, Zoe in Yellow and all the party spots. I would definitely recommend this place. Best value for money. Oh and you get a mini breakfast included which is a nice touch.

Nothing. ( This is a first) lol

The room was really spacious and clean, and I especially liked the cozy little table by the window. The bed was surprisingly comfortable — I had the best sleep there! The staff were also incredibly helpful. I forgot my glasses in the room and had already traveled south, but they were kind enough to send them to Bangkok, where I was able to pick them up at the end of my trip. Not every hostel would do that!

Perfect place to stay. Spotless clean! nice local restaurants within 2 mins walking distance. It is also walking distance to old town center and temples. about a few kms to night bazzar, but you can just take a tuktuk which costs 100Bh. As it is not just right in the center center, it is really quiet in that area. We slept very well. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Good breakfast. We stayed for four nights.

This hotel is an excellent choice in Chiang Mai. The area might not be a great first impression but it’s pretty safe and calm area. The hotel itself is nice, private room is of a good size, and the staff is great and super friendly, even helped us book tours to the temples; breakfast is simple but what else do you need. Overall a great experience!
