I've stayed in so many places over the years. For me, it has always been the staff, the host or the owners of the accommodation that make all the difference. It is very easy to see when people love what they are doing and are passionate about their business. Paapu is one of those people, and it really shows.

I only wish I could've stayed longer!

Paapu is the warmest, kindest host I could have asked for on my first solo trip to Thailand. She made me feel so at home, providing tailored recommendations and asking how my trip was going with genuine interest. Her home is so beautiful, clean, and comfortable, with a helpful list of tips and recommendations provided to all guests. The location is amazing, with so many attractions and practical establishments within walking distance. Paapu was always quick to respond over WhatsApp, and talking to her in person always lifted my mood! The brunch at her downstairs restaurant was delicious, and her Thursday night live music event was a trip highlight. She was also so kind and patient to accommodate me when I asked to leave my luggage for several hours after checkout. In all, Paapu House just feels like a home for travelers who love art, music, and life — vibrant, homey, and full of character. It was an honor to be hosted by someone as lovely as Paapu and to stay at her beautiful home. Would love to return and stay longer the next time I visit Chiang Mai!

This is one of the best places that I have stayed and was a highlight of my trip to Chiang Mai. Immediately, the place has a fantastic unique style of decoration and you are greeted by Paapu, who is absolutely delightful. She is warm, friendly and helpful, giving me fantastic recommendations for anything I wanted to do in Chiang Mai and booked fantastic tours for me. As a solo traveller, it was great to come back to a friendly face after a day out but it was also great to have such amazing communal areas where I was able to meet other solo travellers. The downstairs living room area is warm and inviting and there is also an upstairs balcony area, so it is easy to meet others. Food is great and I enjoyed the live music event on Thursday evening, creating a real buzz in the building and it seems to be a real hit with the local community. 10/10, would stay again. Thank you Paapu!

So, so, wonderful! I liked it so much… I felt here like at home. So warm environment with kind people, Paapu is such a warm person;-) …lovely rooms and the whole atmosphere was relaxing. I took a root dang (local “taxi”) from Arcade bus station to the property and back to the airport too. It is right outside the walls but you are still in a city center actually. Everything close, by walk or bicycle. Paapu helped me with several things, from requirements about sightseeing, massages, to practical help that you need when you are a tourist;-) I was so grateful. Definitely recommend!

Paapu is such a joyful and kind person. She makes you feel at home with her personality but also with the way she decorated the rooms. She also has great recommendations. Everything is cleaned every morning. The rooms feel very cozy, which was great for me as I spent one week there. The restaurant she has downstairs is sooooo beautiful and the live music nights on Thursdays are such good vibe. Really one of the best places I've stayed at.

Bathrooms could be upgraded :) (but they are clean and functional !)

Paapu's house is so lovely. We booked here because of her outstanding reviews and she did not disappoint! Paapu is a wonderful host - knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. When we arrived she talked us through the highlights of Chiang Mai and good things to do- which we did and they were excellent. The food and coffee in her cafe are great. Her place is also really pretty and quirky- great place to stay. The location was good, an easy walk into the old city and night markets. I also left something in the room and got in touch. Paapu was a saviour- she was quick to reply and looked after it until I came back after trekking to collect. Just the best host.

amazing place to stay in Chiang Mai! Close by to everything, clean, Paapu is really nice and you can trust her 100% to give you the best advices, every tips that she gave us was TOP!!! we could have definitely stay one week more 🥰

This guesthouse is absolutely stunning. The decorations are so lovely and they create an instant feeling of home and comfort. I booked one night and ended up staying 8 nights. The owner Paapu is also super sweet, when I arrived in the early morning with the night bus (6 am) she woke up to offer me a couch and a blanket and she made me coffee. I love this place so much and will definitely return someday in the future! Thanks Paapu 💛

It’s next to a busy street so you can hear the cars. Not ideal if you’re a light sleeper, but no problem for me.

I am totally thrilled, one of the best accommodations so far. Like a second home, the two owners, Paapu and her boyfriend, are just super friendly and accommodating. They always give you information about where to go and are very approachable and customer-oriented. Absolutely recommendable and would go back anytime. There is no air conditioning but that is not so important, as it is one of the nicest and most pleasant accommodations in Chiang Mai.

The vibe at Paapu house is very lively and welcoming, perfect for a solo traveler or a pair of people. The room was sweetly decorated, airy, had a fan and clean. The bathrooms, although shared were very clean and comfortable. The restaurant downstairs has the best food. Really delicious. And Thursday night shows are so much fun. Paapu and her partner are absolutely wonderful, warm and kind people. Also super helpful. I wish I stayed for longer!

Because it's on the main road, traffic can interfere with late sleepers' rest and Thursday night music lasts until midnight. So I suggest just enjoying the Thursday night shows and getting up before 10am. Other than that, it's peaceful and quiet and you don't hear other guests.
