Beautiful traditional houses in a quiet, semi-rural area
Pros:

The house is part of a group of traditional northern Thai adobe dwellings with a lot of charm. They are set in a garden in a semi-rural area, a bit outside the city walls. The setting is quiet. The city center and restaurants are about 15 minutes away by tuk-tuk or Grab. You can call a Grab near Wat Muang Kai, which is a five-minute walk from the house. The wat is also a good reference point for tuk-tuk drop-off. The owners don't speak much English, but you can easily communicate with them using smartphone translators.

Cons:

Some minor improvements could make the stay much more comfortable and pleasant. For instance, instant real coffee or tea bags could be provided. The toilet bin could be emptied daily instead of just adding another plastic bag on top of the previous one with the trash still inside. The toilet paper could also be of better quality. We like the idea of a traditional breakfast, but it could be cooked better and be more varied.

Peaceful retreat
Pros:

Amazing place, surrounded by beautiful nature, where you can take a breakfast looking the squirrels walking along the power lines of the quiet street in front.
The 1st room have windows that you can enjoy magnificent plants since sunrise!

Cons:

If you don't rent a motorcycle or a car, you need to call Grab to go to the center if city.
But it's worth it!!!

Living as a thailand person
Pros:

Very peaceful place, surrounded by many kinds of plants, where you can live as a native person.
Delicious food, cooked with kindness by auntie and very welcome mood of her and uncle!
In the breakfast you can see birds and squirrels, natives walking or riding a bike, doing exercises.
Make a class with auntie to learn to do a pad Thai or a traditional fan, so nice!!!

Cons:

If you don't rent a motorcycle, grab car is a little expensive to go to the center of city, better grab motorcycle if you can use.

Pros:

Our hosts were always attentive and helpful, but not intrusive. Our Thai breakfasts were delightful with a range of offerings over the week. The room had plenty of space and was comfortable. We would happily return here in future!

Cute & Traditional.
Pros:

Very cute traditional little hut. Looks like it was just remodeled. The staff are a family who dont speak English but are very friendly & welcoming.

Location is off the beaten path a bit but I always got a GRAB motorbike in minutes to get around.

I came here to rest after a hectic trip delivering aid and it was exactly what I needed.

Bathroom is massive with tub to soak in.

Pros:

I really enjoyed 3 day stay in Baannoi Nornmuan. The rooms are very clean, you also get a bottle of water every day.
The hotel is about 3km from the center, but you should already know it.
The owners are the kindest people. They do not speak English, but if you're willing to use a bit of Google Translate, you'll be able to communicate.

Great, quirky retreat in quiet streets of Chiang Mai.

Beautiful quiet location, a bit quirky (which we loved), superb breakfast, friendly hosts in a quiet location with lots of little hidden gems nearby (wat, bakery, Gymkana Club for a meal...etc). Also a very short drive or ride from the city.

Cons:

Nothing at all.

Pros:

This place is truly healing. The warmth and kindness of the hosts, the delicious breakfasts that are made with love, the bath tubs and beautifully decorated rooms and the quiet peaceful environment. I came here after I had been unwell on my holiday and felt so looked after by the hosts and was so grateful to be able to stay in a place like this. I can't wait to come back. The hosts went above and beyond for me and were so helpful.

Nothing to say.
