The 51 Hometel

Chang Phueak, Muang Chiang Mai

The 51 Hometel is a sleek black-and-white styled serviced apartment/hotel hybrid in Chang Phueak. A digital nomad favorite thanks to the free co-working space on the ground floor and free bicycles for exploring. Water is included in rent (unusual and saves money), plus weekly housekeeping. Some rooms have kitchens and bathtubs.

“TripAdvisor 4.5/5 from 33 reviews, described as 'one of the most booked hotels in Chiang Mai' over a 60-day period. Purpose-built for digital nomads: free 24-hour coworking space, free bicycles, 90/24 Mbps WiFi, free laundry service (washed/dried/ironed in 1-2 days), complimentary daily breakfast at the connected Mai Bakery, weekly cleaning, water included. Run by a lovely Thai family. The only real downside is location — not walkable to Nimman or Old City, you need the free bicycle or a Grab. Minor laundry losses reported (socks and underwear occasionally go missing). Fresh cookies at reception daily.”
