About
The Guest Arak Boutique Hotel
The Guest Arak Boutique Hotel sits on Arak Road in the heart of Chiang Mai, a short walk from the old city's western gate and Suan Buak Hat park. It is a 20-minute walk from Wat Lok Moli, a popular Buddhist temple, and close to a range of restaurants, coffee shops, and markets.
The hotel keeps things simple and comfortable: air-conditioned rooms with large beds, some with balconies or city views, plus a restaurant, terrace, and garden area. Guests particularly appreciate the helpful staff, the daily breakfast with coffee, toast, cookies, and jam, and the convenience of being near the night bazaar and Saturday walking street.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so travelers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Check-in window is limited — Check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:30, so late arrivals after midnight are not accommodated without prior arrangement.
- Smoking is not permitted on site — Guests who smoke must step off the property, as there is a strict no-smoking policy across the hotel.
- Moderate overall value score — While rooms and service rate well, the Value category sits at 8.0, slightly below other scores, suggesting some guests find the price-to-experience ratio less compelling.
