About

Baba Pim Villa

Baba Pim Villa sits on a quiet soi in Chiang Mai's old city, about 1.5 km from Wat Pan Tao. The property is small and centred around an outdoor garden, where breakfast can be taken when the weather cooperates. Rooms are fitted with air conditioning, tea and coffee facilities, and private bathrooms; some apartments add a balcony or garden view.

The hotel keeps things straightforward: free Wi-Fi throughout, luggage storage, a locker room, and in-room breakfast for those who prefer to start the day privately. Staff are repeatedly singled out for their helpfulness, and parking is available on site, which is a practical plus in the old city.
