We had an amazing stay here — truly one of the most heartwarming experiences we’ve ever had in Chiang Mai. 💛 The place is peaceful, clean, and beautifully maintained. Breakfast is freshly served with so much care, and the whole atmosphere just makes you slow down and relax. Special thanks to Marcel, who was incredibly kind and thoughtful. We accidentally broke a glass water bottle at night, and he immediately came over to help clean it up — no blame, just genuine kindness. 🥹 He even noticed that our flight was in the afternoon and kindly offered us a late checkout at 12 PM so we could rest more. Little gestures like this made us feel truly cared for — not just as guests, but like friends staying at someone’s home. If you’re looking for a quiet, cozy, adults-only place to unwind in Chiang Mai, this is the one. 🌿✨ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Nope

We had a wonderful stay! The staff, as well as the owner Marcel, were extremely friendly and welcoming. Even though we arrived very early after a long and tiring night bus trip from Bangkok, Marcel and his team greeted us warmly with breakfast and did everything possible to prepare our room as quickly as they could. The breakfast was excellent. A mix of European options and a daily Thai special, so there’s something for everyone. We also had lunch once during our stay, and the food was just as good. Marcel helped us rent a scooter, which made it easy to explore the area independently. For us as a couple, this little paradise (beautifully furnished and clearly created with love) was perfect. We could enjoy the city and its nightlife, yet return to peace and quiet since the guesthouse is slightly outside the busy center. All in all, you can really feel the passion and care behind this place. Marcel and his team went above and beyond to make our stay truly memorable.

The guesthouse is ran by a friendly helpful kind Dutch man and a gent from Belgium, with many friendly Thai staff. The hotel is amazing, super clean, relaxing. The bed is incredibly comfortable and I felt very safe as a female solo. The breakfast is amazing and will certainly fill you up for hours. Because the hotel ran by Europeans you will find European food and snacks available such as hamburgers as well as Thai meals/ snacks. I really didn't want to leave Liams guesthouse. It is around 15 mins away from the city centre, so a bike or a car is needed, but you can easily get a Grab bike to and from the hotel. Also the hotel is extremely clean and well kept. As soon as you enter the guesthouses you can see how much love and kindness is within. 10/10. Will return when I come back to Chang mai!

Nothing. I loved everything

This guesthouse is pitch perfect. Marcel and Koen run a really tight ship, supported by the lovely Lah. We stayed a week and have already rebooked for next year. The rooms are spacious with comfy beds and we had a balcony where we could watch the sunset. Breakfast is delicious with lots of choice and the day long menu is also great. The pool is surrounded by beautiful plants and sunbeds and the whole effect is super relaxing. We also really liked the area, a good choice of places to eat within walking distance without needing to go into Chiang Mai centre. What really puts Liam's guesthouse above others are the owners and staff (and Lupa the dog!). Everything we could have wanted was anticipated and we were made to feel like good friends. Thank you so much 🙏🙏

This is a fantastic little guesthouse with a wonderful garden and pool. Staff are amazing. Breakfast is very good and includes yogurt, fruit, toast and cooked to order eggs with bacon. And one can’t forget Lupa the dog who is in charge of guest experience!

As has been mentioned, the guesthouse is on the outskirts of town and not really close to anything. This wasn’t a big issue for us. There is a 7Eleven, Lotus, ATM and local market about 1 km away so it’s a bit of a walk or you can borrow the guesthouse bikes. Otherwise taking a Grab into Chiang Mai proper was only 100 - 140 THB

Liam's Guesthouse is truly home away from home. Marcel, Koen, Lah and the rest of the staff are warm and engaging. They have created an atmosphere that encourages friendly interaction between guests, they are a fantastic resource for travelers who seek some direction on what to do and where to visit. This is NOT the average stay. It is slightly out of the main part of Chiang Mai and does not resemble a cold impersonal hotel stay. The kitchen offers a variety of well prepared and delicious foods which we utilize to "rebound" from spicy adventures. Lupa, the dog is a sweetheart. The pool and gardens are clean and manicured. Poolside seating facilitates conversation with other guests and we have made a few friends that we will stay in touch with beyond vacation. Lah is a wonderful person to converse with and we assist each other in learning Thai and English. This was our 2nd stay at Liam's and from the warm reception to the genuine interest in the quality of our vacation to the heartfelt "see you soon" We consider this a stay with sorely missed friends.

Liam's Guesthouse is slightly outside the main part of Chiang Mai and we try to arm ourselves with good descriptions of it's location so that Grab, Bolt or Tuk Tuk drivers can find it easily. We note the location as up the road from the Coconut Market ( a wonderful Sunday Morning Market) and we learned "right turn" or "left turn" (lioakhwa or lioasaai) to assist drivers in getting us back - knowing that many of the older Tuk Tuk drivers not only don't speak english but also can't read Thai. This has no bearing on the quality of our stay, just something we learned can help.

Peaceful, away from the bustle of the city yet just a quick and cheap taxi ride away. Staff were amazing and so helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Great thought has gone into equipping each room with everything you could possibly need. Large comfortable, spotlessly clean room with very quiet air conditioning. Restaurant on site serving a variety of meals with a licensed bar. Plenty of sunbeds and seating around the pool with umbrellas offering shade if wanted. We can’t wait to visit again.

Nothing, it was the perfect place to stay in Chiang Mai.

I arrived there after catching the night train from Bangkok. I was totally demolished. The staff took excellent care of me and were very understanding. They immediately made me a huge breakfast and made sure the room was ready asap. Everything was clean and the staff had some great tips about Chiang mai. They came up for a chat to see how i was doing the next morning as well. 10/10 would recommend.

Technically it might be a bit on the more expensive side for backpackers, but if you have the money it is definitely worth every penny.

Comfortable and clean rooms. The staff were all very welcoming.

Location - granted this is not something which can be changed (!) but ensure you fully investigate this prior to booking. During Songkran, it took 40 mins to reach the old town by taxi (normally it would take 20 mins). Restaurant - limited menu catered to western tastes. In Thailand, I would have preferred more authentic Thai options. There were no solid options within walking distance for food, so eating involved getting a taxi or eating in the guesthouse restaurant.

Liam’s guest house exceeded our expectations right from the moment we arrived. Marcel and his staff provide wonderful customer service to their guests and really make you feel at home. The guest house is very well maintained with lovely grounds and swimming pool , is lovely and quiet away from the busy markets, the breakfast is plentiful and a good variety and the restaurant serves wonderful meals at a good price. The rooms are roomy and comfortable with good amenities. Marcel makes an effort to provide great tourist information and advice about the area and tourist attractions , transport ect which was very helpful. We loved our stay at Liam’s and already can’t wait to return to Liam’s for another wonderful stay . Would highly recommend

There were no negatives at all
