About

Baan U Sabai Boutique House-Sha Plus

Baan U Sabai Boutique House-Sha Plus is a small, traditional Thai teak hotel located in Chiang Mai, about a 25-minute walk from Wat Pan Tao temple. With just a handful of rooms set around a central pool, it offers a quiet, personal atmosphere that larger hotels can't match.

Guests consistently praise the spotless rooms, comfortable beds, and the staff's willingness to go out of their way — from arranging free airport transfers to helping with local tips. The hotel operates with a shoes-off policy, asking guests to change into provided crocs, which adds to the homely feel.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Shoes-off policy might be unfamiliar — Guests are asked to change into provided crocs upon entering the property. While many find it homely, some may be caught off guard.
  • Surrounding area is not scenic — One guest notes the immediate surroundings are not that nice, though the hotel's atmosphere helps you forget that. It's close to the airport, but the neighborhood may lack charm.
  • Not in the city center — The hotel is about a 25-minute walk from Wat Pan Tao and requires songthaew or tuk-tuk for some trips. While walkable, it's not a central location.
  • Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only allowed between 13:00 and 14:00, which may be inconvenient for some arrivals. Early check-in may be possible by request but isn't guaranteed.

“We had a good stay though we were moved to a different room due to a 'broken shower.' The original room was fully booked, so we accepted the change. The new room was very nice, the desk staff polite, and the hotel very clean. We'd return.”
