I was hesitant about my stay at Breeze of Pai because of a few reviews people had about the owner, and I was a female traveling solo. However, I found him to be friendly and helpful, and kind of like a dad/uncle vibe. I'd say this definitely has the cleanliness and design of a 2-star hotel, maybe even a hostel. But I understand the type of tourists that visit Pai are OK with this. I think I just discovered I'm a bit pickier with future accommodations. There were ants in the upper corner of the shower, and the water pressure and temperature weren't great. I just found myself trying to shower as quick as possible. Two bars of soap are provided, so coming from hotels that had shampoo, conditioner, and body wash was an experience. I found myself Googling how to detect bed bugs but there were any. All in all, just my paranoia and snobbery setting in. I'd say if you're good with that backpacker, bare bones lifestyle this place is perfect. I was able to park my scooter rental easily and it's walkable to the walking street and everything else. And really close to the bus stop from Chiang Mai. There's also a ton of plants which are lovely. And I didn't realize it until I was checking out, but there were free bananas for guests at the counter. All in all, I'd say there are similarly priced hotels that seemed nicer that I kind of wish I had looked more into.
