About

Koko Palm Inn

Koko Palm Inn is a two-star guesthouse with eight rooms on Ratchadamnoen Road Soi 6, in the heart of Chiang Mai's old city. The inn mixes local decor with a compact, open layout, and guests consistently highlight the friendly host and the home-like atmosphere.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Cash only and no breakfast included — Payment is cash-only (no card facilities), and breakfast is not part of the stay.
  • Limited rooms and no pets — With just eight rooms, availability can be tight, and the inn does not allow pets.
  • Late check-in window — Check-in is only until 22:30, which may be restrictive for late arrivals.
  • Small scale means fewer on-site extras — Beyond the essentials, there is no on-site dining or fitness facilities — guests rely on the surrounding neighborhood.

“Very pleasant spot — I'll be back next time.”

“Lovely hotel: large, clean rooms with a terrace for relaxing. Walking distance to Chiang Mai's main temples, restaurants, bars, and the night market. Staff are genuinely helpful and can arrange tours at good rates. Breakfast isn't included and payment is cash-only. I was surprised it isn't in any major guidebook.”

9Verified guest

“We loved it from the start. Stayed five nights, fair price, and the owner anticipated our needs. Clean rooms, free laundry, reliable Wi-Fi. A five-minute walk to the city wall and all conveniences. We'll definitely return — she even gave us a lantern for Loi Krathong.”
