Milin Guesthouse in Chiang Rai City

Rustic and quiet guesthouse where you can enjoy peaceful mornings. Alex and his wife were great host as they were helpful and very warm. I enjoyed all the conversations that I had with Alex. Staying here allowed me to experience the slow life and content life is Chiangmai

Great guesthouse with super nice owners. We slept extremely good in this guesthouse. It is very quiet and the matress is very comfy. We rented a scooter from the guesthouse and it is just 10 minutes to the city. We definitely recommend staying here. For us it was a lot better than in the city center.

We had an amazing experience staying at Alex and his family's home for 3-4 weeks. The room was nice and clean, and there was a lot of space outside to relax. We worked remotely, so we often borrowed bikes and went to nice coffee shops in the surrounding area. The area was quiet and safe, close to nature with many caves, temples, and interesting places to explore. The downtown is nearby, about 10-15min by bike.
Alex and his family were great hosts - very responsive, flexible, and kind. It was always fun to hang out and chat with Alex who was really knowledgeable about Chiang Rai and many aspects of Thai culture and history. We appreciated the fantastic daily breakfasts and laundry service. Overall, we felt super at home at Alex's and would for sure visit again in the future.

Milin Guesthouse is a nice little place of stay, a little out of town in Chiang Rai, but easily accessible by Grab. The owner Alex and his wife, along with their two children are incredibly friendly and accommodating. They provide home-made breakfast catering to one's dietary needs, as well as some exotic fruits that taste great which he brings from his farm. The room is cozy, and the bed is adorned with elephant or swan towel arts. Alex is a great person to have a chat with, and he'll guide you with your travel plans in and around Chiang Rai. He also has bicycles and motorbikes available for rent. I personally loved the concept behind the guesthouse which he had built from scratch with the vision of welcoming travellers from any part of the world for a pleasant cultural exchange experience. There are 5 rooms for double occupancy with a patio infront, and a dormitory that can fit 4 people. At night, the lanterns are lit up, and if it's a moonlit night, the setting is magical and all sorts of wonderful!

Home from home, this is what all guest houses should be like. Best service we had in Thailand, super friendly, welcoming, and very knowledgeable host. Nothing was too much trouble, great English speaking!
Yes it is a little far from the centre but as are all the attractions in Chiang Rai so this is not a problem, especially if you rent a scooter from the guest house. The scooter was competitively priced and great condition, me and my girlfriend used it to go all over the surrounding area.
Room was very spacious and clean, good shower room / bathroom.
Breakfast was amazing, different every day with some Thai breakfasts thrown in as well, just what you need to kick off the day.
Quick laundry service available at small additional cost compared to other places we stayed.
Host dropped us off at the bus station at the end of our stay at 5:30am for a very reasonable price, and even gave us a packed lunch for our long onward journey.
For the price this guest house cannot be missed if staying in Chiang Rai, cannot recommend enough!

Minor improvements could be emptying of bins in room daily and fresh towels as we had come to expect that from other guest houses at similar price, but the host more than makes up for this!

Thanks Alex and family for a wonderful stay!
