About

Ma Guesthouse Chiang Mai

Ma Guesthouse Chiang Mai sits on Samlan Road in the old town, within easy reach of temples, night markets, and restaurants. The guesthouse keeps things simple: a shared kitchen, a terrace with garden furniture, and free Wi-Fi throughout. Rooms range from doubles to family-size quadruples, some with private bathrooms.

What sets Ma apart is the care. Guests consistently mention the staff's warmth and willingness to help — booking a zipline trip, packing breakfast for a dawn departure. The guesthouse also has parking, a barber shop, and luggage storage, making it a practical base for exploring the city and beyond.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Staff who feel like family — Reviewers repeatedly mention the warmth and helpfulness of the team — from arranging zipline trips to packing breakfast for early tours.
  • Central old-town location — The guesthouse is in the heart of Chiang Mai's old town, with night markets, a park, shops, and restaurants within easy reach.
  • Breakfast worth waking up for — Guests praise the breakfast — fresh bread, fruit, eggs, and even hot waffles — and staff will pack a meal if you have an early tour.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Simple shared-bathroom options — Some rooms have shared bathrooms, which may not suit everyone. If you prefer privacy, book a private-bathroom room.
  • No pets allowed — The guesthouse does not permit pets, so if you're traveling with a dog or cat, you'll need to look elsewhere.
  • Check-in window starts at 15:00 — If you arrive in Chiang Mai before 3 p.m., you may need to wait or store your luggage (luggage storage is available).
