This hotel was just OK. What I did like about this hotel was the location and upon arrival the front desk helped us book an excursion to Doi Suthep Temple. However, there were a lot of things wrong with our stay. Starting with the room, the remote did not work for the TV, the phone was low on battery and never worked, and when we finally did get the TV working, there were no English channels to watch. Also, the pool was filthy. I’m so glad I did not swim in it. Finally one of the waiters who worked the bar was very unhelpful at breakfast time when we asked for more coffee and milk. He seemed annoyed and he never came back.

Two nights in a row we had really bad smell in our rooms despite changing rooms after the first night. To ensure we weren’t making it up we made the night staff come and check and even his comment was “it smells like pee” (yuck!!) he told us to leave the bathroom vents on and sprayed the whole room - on complaining we were only given the option to get refund for remaining nights which being new years we couldn’t find any accommodation to change to. Not once did the staff or management apologise for the inconvenience. They simply acted like either deal with it or were given the option that we can get refund if we leave before 12pm or the next day will be charged. We already had tours booked and on top of that hotels in the area were fully booked so we had not choice but hope for the best and keep spraying deodoriser - would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

It’s near Night Market on Sundays. Staffs at the front desk are not really friendly. They did not say anything to you in the morning when they see you or when you go back to the hotel. Even though I tried to say Swadeecap(good morning) they looked down and said nothing.

Good hotel with high ratings for room size, cleanliness, and bed comfort but the underwhelming breakfast takes this from 5 to 4 star rating. The breakfast had minimal local Thai options but included chicken nuggets and spaghetti. Fruit was nice but of all our SE Asia hotel stays, this was by far the least impressive. We only ate there the first day and opted to leave the hotel for other locations. Staff was just ok, as well, with minimal interaction. Pool area was nice but limited to 4 lounge chairs. Location was premium, however, being 2 blocks from everything in the heart of the east side of city.

The hotel is in a great area and it is a clean, welcoming hotel with nice facilities. Breakfast was also great. We had a 2-bedroom suite for 2 adults & 2 teenagers. The room configuration was quite poor - it was 2 rooms plus a bathroom connected only by a hall. No common area which was really suitable for 4. Fine for 2 nights but not as spacious as other 2-bedroom suites booked in our travels.

We found the reception staff indifferent and rude when we first arrived late in the evening, although other staff on other days were friendly enough to say hi and bye as we walked through through reception.
The room was musty and the bed damp when we arrived which seemed to have happened from the air con being on all day. I slept on my own sheets the first night as staff couldn't do anything about the bed as it fully booked that night. There is a large construction next door, so we woke to construction noise each morning. There was a large wall of windows, but no sheer curtain, so we couldn't even let the sunshine in as our room faced the opposite hotel, and one of the windows opened fully from floor to ceiling, on the second story (huge drop! Make sure you check this if you have kids)
Breakfast is 400baht per person, but there's lots of cafes in the old city that are available. Location was heralded as good, close to the Thapae gate, but I found that there were more than ample other hotels in better locations in the old city.
Overall, the hotel looked designed for instagram as it looked good online, but it lacked the soul I booked it for. Even the pool looked good, but there was no sun in the afternoon as it was tucked away into the hotel. Pity the hotel didn't have a nice vibe to suit Chang Mai as it could have added to our visit. Lucky the city itself is enough to make the experience great :)

I’ve stayed with Dr Chai in two of their hotels numerous times. Great breakfast, immaculate rooms, awesome amenities.
I was disappointed at De Chai Deco that I pay for an outside membership allowing me one upgrade and some amenities like late check out. I was tentatively allowed one hour after checkout and zero mention of upgrades. It is Monday and there are minimal people here.
This time I was placed in a room facing the loud street, no black out curtains as before so the sun was bright at 6am and a bad smell I cannot identify. There are odor remover in the room which I’ve not had on any room before. Not happy with this room compared to every other, but exhausted from work and didn’t ask to change it.

Over priced for what it is!

The hotel lacks a character and small. Swimming pool is very small and cold.

You can’t open the windows and the AC is either to cold or too warm, which makes sleeping very difficult.

Cleaness and comfort of the room and beed is ok.

Location is bad! In a very small dark alley which makes you think twice if you want to walk outside alone at night.

breakfast is good! In general I found the price too expensive for what they offer and the comfort.
