The room was big but there were lots of crap on every surface so I had to remove them to make room for our stuff. Balcony door was the entrance to our room, the curtain rods were annoying, in the way of entering and exiting room. If you don't close both blinds, people could see inside. If you know how to ride a scooter, pretty much you can stay anywhere. We took Grab from airport to hotel and paid hotel $200 baht to airport.

Viang Thapae Resort really is an oasis in this very busy area of Chiang Mai. The resort looks like a tropical island. The rooms are very well appointed. I loved the decor! It was also very clean. The bed was comfortable and A/C was working.
There is a small pool that's perfect to cool down on hot days. The staff is super friendly and eager to help.
Breakfast was a basic continental style with a few Thai touches. Nothing to write home about, but good and conveniently located in the lovely dining area overlooking the pond.

Note that the address will lead you to the back door, which is locked after hours. The front door is just around the corner. I would recommend management put up a sign with directions.

Overall a great stay and very much recommended for individuals, couples, and families.

Did not allow us to check in early. After flying for 20 hours, we just wanted to take a shower and lay down. The place let us leave our luggage at the hotel while we figured out how to kill time until check in. Most hotels usually allow you to check in early, for a fee so I was surprised at the hard no.

The place was really beautiful outside the room. The room was clean and had a nice place to take a bath or shower. The location was central to all the things we wanted to do. The only issue we had is back gate is where people come to often but it is locked so difficult when had luggage or trying to get a grab not knowing which entrance to go to. The staff was helpful and made sure we were taken care of. Lastly, would recommend eating off site as food was not ideal.

My family of 3 stayed for 4 nights at the Viang Thapae resort. The property was very clean, well-maintained, and the ambiance was homey and welcoming in Thai decor and fashion. The staff was very friendly and helpful whenever we had questions or needed help with anything during our stay. Our third floor room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The A/C was also greatly appreciated throughout the night. It was a quiet and calm respite from the craziness of the night market, but conveniently close to shopping, street food vendors, and restaurants, just a short 5 minute away from everything! It was also only 5 minutes away from the GSB bank, which offered the best rates for converting our USD currency to bahts, The bathroom was clean and well-stocked, but the water was often at inconsistent temperatures, so sometimes our showers were lukewarm at best. It rained a few days, and the resort offered the free use of their umbrellas, which was a very nice touch. We used Grab to get around, but they usually stopped 100 feet to the left of the entrance, so be sure to walk out to check for their arrival. The resort offered daily breakfast and had a beautiful pool, but unfortunately we didn’t have the time to use either. We had a wonderful time and look forward to our next visit!

Pretty spot near the old town

We arrived several hours ahead of schedule and the hotel scrambled to put us in our rooms, even though we'd only asked to drop luggage. The beds were comfortable, ac was effective, and the pools are small but gorgeous - definitely the high point for our 10-year old, though she wished they opened earlier in the morning. Breakfast was extensive.

Only thing that required getting used to were the glass doors to the rooms. They are very pretty, and they have heavy curtains so privacy is easy, but we had two nearby rooms and were back and forth frequently, so pulling the curtains got old each time a kid ran through. But leaving them open meant visibility into our untidy lives for anyone walking by or on the other side of the building. Not a dealbreaker by any means, but an oddity.

Amazingly done up!

We liked what we saw on the photos but for the 3 days, they had 2 different types of room available. We still preferred booking the hotel anyway. The room we stayed in the 1st day was amazing, comfortable and well maintained (felt like a newer building). Though the room we stayed the remaining 2 days seemed like a part of the old building and was considerably small. We didn't mind that but it certainly felt old - no doubt it was clean. The other thing in the smaller rooms was sliding glass door to enter the room - which meant we could hear the creepy lizards outside or people walking about by the pool. Considering all together for the smaller room alone, it didn't feel like value for money.
As far as location goes - it is located within 10 minutes walk to old town and the night market. Though the street is very quiet and may be a bit unsafe late at night. Overall was satisfied with the location.
The resort does not provide laundry or even an iron. So go prepared with ironed clothes or wait a day for the laundry shops around the resort to do it for you.

The bathroom isn't the cleanest (bit of mold in the corners), but it's just old. Overall, we weren't in the room much so it was fine. Excellent location. Staff isn't very friendly, and they don't know much English so they couldn't help with recommendations for restaurants or things to do. Wish they had more of a concierge.

Nice hotel, shame about the reception staff

Just outside the old city gates, and easy walking distance to the night market and the old city. 2 small pools which were quite nice. We got the room with a living room for some extra space, which was nice. Clean and comfortable room.

However, this medium size hotel was too big to be personal and too small to be professional. The staff were generally quite grumpy. Reception was very bad. They got really irate when we asked for directions/maps/print receipts. We got locked out of the safe by accident and we felt were made to feel very bad to trouble them to come up to help us. The lady/man at reception was picking her nose when I handed her my room key and she just ignored me and just carried on digging... I think the staff were a bit jaded by large tour groups. I thought it was just us, but other guests had the same experience when we chatting over breakfast.

Great place for a great price.

The walls were thin and the hot water not always consistent but was warm enough when not actually Hot. These were both issues I would have had anyplace I went in this area.

English was great...breakfast food and atmosphere wonderful.

Laundry, temple, shopping, Thai Massage, 7-11, lady with a small grocery (water) across the street - all could be walked to or a 30-50 baht per person ride. the mountains, Tigers, elephants...palace, zoo, indigenous villiage, additional temples ..no more than 300 baht for the day per person red car. Mind you we were with Thai ppl so cost could be a little more because you may not know better.

Had the room with large balcony overlooking the pool. Was great to relax on.

Again walls are thin so when my partner had food poisoning from something in the mountains, even on the balcony with both doors closed to the outside and the bathroom, you hear everything.

Two infinity pools, one shaded and the second receives sun for most of the morning. The room was a good size, decorated in tasteful Thai style. The bathroom had plenty of hot water, a rainfall head, and a tub for soaking. The room was immaculately clean.

When we checked in we were given a 2nd floor pool view room. At our request, we were easily re-accommodated in a poolside room with the pool right outside our terrace!

Daily breakfast buffet featured Asian and American selections, to dine in the open-air patio overlooking a large lily pond & garden.

Wifi worked ok, and mgmt did their best to have the weak signal in the room adjusted.

We booked a few excursions with front desk staff who were helpful with their knowledge of the tours. They made the calls and confirmed reservations and pick-up time quickly and efficiently.

Outside the hotel are tuk tuk drivers and taxi guys altho we walked easily everywhere. The Sunday nite market was a 10 minute walk & the nite market about 15. Plenty of restaurants and pubs everywhere. We hired the hotel car to take us to the airport for 200B ...driver was pleasant and helpful.

We can't say enough about Viang Thapae & their staff! We would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Gorgeous hotel at a fantastic price

Overall had a fantastic stay here. The room was so reasonably priced and very clean and comfortable. The location was very central and easy to organise day trips from. The staff were friendly and checked us in and out efficiently. However our room was not ready on arrival so we had to leave and come back which worked out fine as we were hungry anyway so went for lunch.

A couple of things the hotel could improve on would be the following:

-Breakfast was not good as insects were all over the fruit, cakes and sometimes the bread every morning. There were covers but these didn't seem to be efficient enough at keeping them out

-The hotel has no elevator so would not suit a disabled or elderly guest and we also found it tough getting our luggage down at check out time.

- the wi fi service was poor and kept logging us out so we would have to input the user and password over and over again

Pay for the nicer rooms

We stayed here twice, the first time we had the more basic room in the original wing and the second time we were upgraded to the nicer rooms in the new wing. They were much much better, more spacious and with a balcony overlooking the pool. The basic level rooms are pokey and have patio style doors and are to be avoided.
