Nice and close to everything

The location in nice and quiet, very close to the Thapai gate on a 5 minute walk, also the old city is very close too. Plenty on Hood food places, bars, temples & night markets nearby too. This hotel possibly has the coldest pool in Thailand due to it being permanently under a roof so always in the shade. Only downside I think is the breakfast is quite basic quality, the juice is maybe from concentrate or watered down. I would still definitely stay here again though.

Always nice but in need of improvements…

Have stayed here on numerous occasions, but the last was pre-Covid. Staff are nice, food in restaurant good. Surprised to see the conditions of the room has somewhat gone downhill. The hotel is in dire need of an uplift. The room I stayed in could use a new coat of paint and some remodeling. Not sure how old the hotel is, but there is a need to upgrade and remodel. Perhaps Covid had an impact and the hotel could not afford to make necessary improvements, but hopefully they’re in a better position today. The location is good, convenient to surrounding temples, night markets, restaurants and the Old City!

Awful place

They charged me for a towel that they said I stained. I told them I didn’t. They said I should look at the towel before using it. Really.. I got out of shower unfolded it and used it to wipe myself. They charged me 900 baht (About $40 CDN)when I complained they waived 50%. Terrible. I asked for glass of ice they wanted to charge me. Pool is not outside, cold water, only 3 chairs by pool. Breakfast terrible. Horrible place

This would be my #1 choice anytime I visit Chiang Mae, the location could not be more perfect. On a quiet side street but just a few minutes walk to be in the heart of everything. You are just minutes walk to the city gate and the main road is gorgeous lit up at night and just teaming with vendors at night when they close it to vehicle traffic. If you do a tour they usually charge extra if you are not inside the old city walls but on all our tours they gave us the free hotel pickup because we were so convenient right where we were. The rooms were so peaceful, the staff just incredible, the location could not have been more perfect and there is a 7-11 handy right at the top of the block. The bedding was perfect, plenty of room, we hated to leave, will definitely be our first choice every time.
