Sunshine House

Loved my stay here. They were very welcoming and friendly. I left my bags a day ahead without booking. I took the ground floor room, bright in the day, if the curtains are half drawn, somewhat private. I'm happy there's indirect yellow lighting, a small lamp on the bedside table would be wonderful. Spacious bed, not hard, not soft. Good sleep. The pillows are fluffy but too big. The bathroom is spacious enough, efficient ventilator, there was never an odd smell. Its remarkably quiet considering there are bars/ music a house away. Can't speak for the other floors. There's an elevator. Small laundry room, 1 dryer, 3 machines. The staff are very sweet and the boss, Tawan (aka Miss Sunshine) loves guests and affection. Don't take her grumpy-ness seriously, she's a sweety (And a cat). Perfect location! So many cafes, restaurants, massage parlours, salon etc at walkable distance. - I noticed most of the negative reviews are from 5/ 6 years ago. It's no longer OYO (yuck!) and they are a great hotel.

I really enjoyed staying at Sunshine House. The staff is friendly and helpful. The location is great. And the room was nice and big and clean and the shower was great.

Clean rooms and common areas. Staff are pleasant and helpful, good English. Good location for my needs. They have motorcycle rentals but only 2 parking spaces for cars. If you are driving the roads are very narrow. Google does not take you the best way there. My needs are basic and this hotel is perfect for me.

The staffs are very nice and helpful but honestly, the room could have been better. When I arrived there was blood stains on my bed sheet, room was quite dirty (bath tub has hair) and everything seems to be breaking off… All is all I’d like to give this place a 3 stars because the location is walkable to Nimmarn (if you love walking like me, or renting a bike!)

Lovely, simple place to stay. Room cleaning service could have been more thorough but was by no means terrible. Some things should be updated, like shower curtain with some mold at the bottom. Staff is very friendly and the neighborhood is quiet but lively at night with lots of great, authentic Thai family-style restaurants. Stay here for a real Thai experience, close to the tourist-y stuff but in the middle of real Thai life.

This reviewed is based on a 6-night stay at this 3-star hotel (should be rated as 2 stars). As expected, not many amenities are included in a 3-star hotel when you pay a bit under 600 baht/night. The hotel did include air con, a very-old looking TCL tv (28”), warm water in the shower (no pressure), 2 bottles of complimentary water, and a mini refrigerator. Bathroom amenities were minimal (shower gel, shampoo, shower caps). Of course, no pool, fitness center and not even a restaurant (no safe in the room). There was, however, a paid laundry room where you could wash your clothes. One evening the electricity was suddenly cut in the entire area. The problem with this hotel is that they did not have emergency lighting (except the first floor), which is required by law. This is very dangerous as it was dark and hard to navigate up and down the stairs (I’m on the 3rd floor). The staff were kindly (although for some reason were cooler my last 3 days, hardly saying hello) and helpful but didn’t offer any suggestions as regards sightseeing and so on. However, the next day, the girl in reception informed me that I would get a 300 baht return because of the electricity issue the night before. This is very unusual that a hotel in Thailand will refund money (I have experienced countless blackout periods with never a mention of any refund). The location is good, near 2 malls (10-15-minute walking distance). If you’re on a tight budget, this hotel is okay for a few nights. I came to Chiang Mai from Huahin and the only purpose of the trip was to see my dentist.

Nice place. They offer some fruit, tea and coffee in the morning as well as some crackers. Found the staff to be quite amiable and helpful. Great food nearby. Only about a 10 or 15 minute walk from Old City. Enjoy the neighborhood, it's laid back. Definitely recommend staying here it's clean oh, it's nice and it even has a couple TV channels that play movies in English. Really though we had to move one night cuz I ran out of rooms but we are back the next night.

Hotel is located in a quiet local area but many eateries and food stalls nearby. Room is clean and spacious with a small balcony. |Rented a motorbike for 250baht per day and you can just return the bike at the hotel. Transport to airport (7am) was charged at 200baht. Overall it was a good experience and recommended for travelers looking for budget accommodation.
