Awana House

I found it very charming and perfectly located, exactly what I was looking for for my stay in Chiang Mai!

Great location, lovely staff

.

This property is hidden in the middle of the hustle and bustle. Such a cute place and family owned. The breakfast was good. Great common areas with many books and board games. The staff were attentive, so helpful and kind. Awesome value for money. Our room was tight but we weren’t there to hang out in the room. The comfortable common areas made up for that. The pool was also well maintained and clean. Close to the markets and one is right next door once per week. It was a very nice stay and had great night convos with Yo-yo. Very chill place! Would absolutely go back! We extended our stay because of this. Internet was good and we loved that they had a free fillable water station. We had not seen this or have yet to see this in any other place we stayed. Small little details such as this helped make it feel homey and welcoming. Cool groovy place! Thank you for hosting us!

- Central location, excellent for Sunday market. - Even if limited in variety, the breakfast is good and cheap. - Cozy rooftop to use until 22:00. Nice artwork on walls.

- Cleaning standards very low, both in common and private areas. -Rooms are big but dated, many broken or malfunctioning things. - The receptionists, albeit very sweet, do not speak English very well and they are not helpful with recommendations. Example: they booked for us a half day tour with an open carrier, which was super uncomfortable and made us feel sick. The suggested zipline activity was a rip-off, having to pay 8800 baht (for 4 person) for an 1-hour activity. So we left, and ended up to the fantastic botanic garden further down the valley, where we paid 500 baht in total and had an amazing time in a breathtaking landscape. The next day we arranged by ourselves a very nice tour with a taxi driver (with a proper car) which costed less than their suggested driver for the same tour. -The most upsetting thing however was that we were asked to pay 800 baht for a blood stain on a bed sheet. They said they it wouldn't come off. We took it to the laundry just around the corner and they got it cleaned for 100 baht... Future guests should be aware of that since a bloodstain on a bed sheet is something quite common really! and a proper accomodation should know how to deal with this.
