We had a lovely stay at this traditional hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and always there to greet you, which made the whole experience feel welcoming from the moment we arrived. The location is perfect, set right in the square of the old town.

The only downsides were the limited storage and the very firm bed. The drawers are decorative, and with only a few hangers, you’ll likely end up living out of your suitcase. The mattress was quite hard — more like sleeping on a slab — though that comes down to personal preference.

The hotel doesn’t have a swimming pool, but that’s part of its charm. It’s a small, traditional property that offers an authentic Thai atmosphere you simply don’t get in modern hotels. I loved the little touches, like removing your shoes and using the provided slippers around the hotel. It’s a stunning place with so much character.

Thank you to the team for your warm hospitality. We would definitely revisit in the future.

The superior and deluxe rooms were very clean but small. The breakfast meals were the tastiest meals I had in Chiangmai. The Restaurants could not match up. We stayed in another hotel before this, which we really liked, but even their staff could not match up to the staff in Makkachiva. Fon and Ploy were helpful and kind. The lady at the breakfast area was also so sweet. The paintings in the hotel are beautiful . They have taken so much trouble to create beautiful interiors but unfortunately the beds in our superior and later deluxe room were so uncomfortable that we would get up with aching backs. We were extremely disappointed with the mattresses. They gave us toppers the next night but it did not help much. Nevertheless, I do not want to take the credit from the hotel staff. Each and everyone was kind and humble.. please, thank the staff for us

This is an absolutely beautiful hotel located in the heart of the Old city with very friendly staff. We checked in easily and were shown to our room. The hotel has a no-shoe policy so you remove your shoes in the lobby and they provide you with slip-ons to wear around the hotel.

I loved how relaxing it is and the fact that it's located across the street from a temple adds to the ambience. The hotel is an art hotel and features beautiful artwork throughout as well as lanna reliefs in each room.

It is conveniently located with shopping spots within walking distance and is down the block from the Sunday Night Market. You could easily use Grab or a tuk-tuk to visit the Night Market, which is also close by.

One of the best aspects of this hotel is the breakfast! The menu is robust and delicious, and the serving is very generous and filling.

I definitely recommend giving this hotel a try if you're spending time in Chiang Mai!

THE place to stay in Chiangmai

This is a superb hotel which combines modern comfort with traditional Thai architecture, culture and decor. To take just one example, guests are expected to remove outdoor shoes in the lobby and wear slippers within the hotel - a typical Thai procedure. The location is very convenient in the centre of the old walled city with many good restaurants nearby. Recommended without hesitation - you will not be disappointed.

This is a great property in a good location. Our stay was excellent and the staff were able to cater our whims. The only sort-of downside I would give is that the rooms aren't that big with room for only one chair in our room besides the enormous bed. That is fine as you don't go to Chiang Mai to hang out in a hotel room. Also would suggest that the hotel open up the breakfast area for coffee/tea/beer/cocktails in the afternoon and early evening.

Charming traditional Thai hotel central location

I loved staying at this small traditional Thai hotel with an airy central courtyard with a water fountain and plants. The halls and rooms are decorated with local art nicely curated by the owner. High marks for cleanliness, as guests remove their shoes upon entering the lobby, and cool tile floors are welcome on hot Thai days. Centrally located in Old City, directly across the street from a small temple and a couple blocks from one of the grander temples, Wat Chedi Luang. Breakfasts are a treat - one orders a hot meal from a menu rather than the typical buffet spread. The hotel fronts a busy street, though my room faced the back and was completely quiet. I stayed at both 4 and 5* hotels on this trip, and this 4* hotel beats the 5* resorts for its charm and authenticity.
