This guesthouse was excellent and i highly recommend people stay here. I booked many tours through their travel desk and they were always excellent very professional and fun. The rooms were very clean and common areas are nice too. The real highlight of Parami are the staff they are always very friendly and helpful with organising trips or giving ideas of things to do. I like the location close to the river with lots of places to eat and only 10 mins walk to old city. I extended my stay!

A really nice place, rooms were spotless and the owner is a gentleman. I want to give it a better score but unfortunately its a bit far out (15min walk to centre) and a bit expensive. you can definately get just as good rooms in the centre for the same price if not cheaper. Also the wifi didn't work very well and our room was as right next to the reception so maybe thats something the owner can look into. Other than that its a top guest house.

First we like to say thanks for your review. About the location: If you had read the Hostel deception on Hoselworld.com carefully you had known that we are "NOT" in the old city and that the old city is a walking distance of 15 - 20 minutes away from the Guesthouse. So we guess there is nothing really to complain about the location because you get all the information's you need to book the right place for your stay in Chiang Mai. We are also a bit bemusedly about the reception right next to your room. Is 15 meters or a little bit more with a fish pond on the way witch you have to cross next to the room? We don't know what kind of Wi-Fi device you used but I (Manager) have no connection problems with my Smartphone and Lap Top in the Guesthouse as long my internet provider not cutting off the line witch sometimes happens. Maybe this happen during your stay but this is not in our responsibility. Manager

Reasonably priced. Parami is about a 20 minute walk outside of the Old City or a 50 baht tuk tuk drive. It also is right across the street from the river and is also located near many art exhibits and riverside restaurants, Regina's in specific. Parami's are very friendly and will help you with any questions you have about the city and how to get around. They have an awesome lounge area with hammocks and offer beverages, including beer, in their lobby. Overall amazing and relaxing stay.

We stayed at the Parami Guesthouse for 4 nights in April. The front desk employees were extremly helpful and accommodating. The room itself was very clean, roomy and comfortable. The guesthouse is about a 5 minute tuk tuk ride to the Tha Phae gate...about 60-80 baht (make sure to try to talk the tuk tuk driver's price down...never accept the first price they give you). We ate at breakfast in the lobby everyday - it was fresh and very good.

We loved the place, even though it's not right in the city centre. In fact, the walk to the old city takes you through china town, which is always worth a visit. Staff was really friendly and helpful. We'd definitely recomend it.

Roger and his staff were so welcoming and helpful from the moment we arrived. We (a family of four with 2 teenagers) booked a number of tours through Parami, Ziplining, Fishing and 2 day hill tribe trek, all of which were FANTASTIC. The pretty guest house was clean and comfortable, good choice for breakfast very reasonable prices. Very close to the day market and pretty close to the night market. Lovely friendly atmosphere couldn' want anything else - Thanks Parami - The Lum Family

It's a pity that you didn't liked our Guesthouse same other people. We are sorry but it is not our job to force our Guests to socialize with others but we have the environment for example garden with hammocks sitting areas etc. to make it easier to meet other travellers for a chat. Sometimes we have Guests they like to exchange there views with other sometimes we have guests they like there privacy. We don't choose our guests our guests choosing us. We feel sorry for you that we don't had guests they like to chat with you during your stay at our Guesthouse. Management

Loved it! Very clean very nice. Just across the river, but not too long a walk into town. Clean, great hammocks, overall a solid place. Would go back again.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The management was extremely friendly and helpful in planning our activities and day trips for our time in Chiang Mai, and the little kitchen for coffee and breakfast was convenient. Although it isn't near the Old City, it's in a nice part of Chiang Mai. The only lapse in cleanliness was that I think there were bugs in our beds as we all woke up with lots of little bites.

Very helpful staff. My room smelled like mildew when I first checked in - they helped me get rid of it, but they denied the smell existed. Pretty hard to ignore mildew.

Awesome, highly recommend this place. Dang, one of the worker is great and can organise all the jungle trips, cooking classes etc from there and you get picked up. It has places to eat nearby and the main city is 5min walk away. They were very accomodating and friendly.

The hostel is friendly and rooms are basic but clean and nice. The owner was very helpful with booking tours and organising transport. The hostel is a good walk from the center and the road isn't very safe to walk alone as there isn't a footpath in sections, but there are numerous Tuk Tuks that will pass and you can flag them down. We didn't socialise in the hostel but I liked that they sold beer and water and breakfast was nice, I'd stay again but in general Chiang Mai is fairly quite.
