We didn't hate it, but the rooms lacked warmth - felt a bit like a hotel prison. It was older than it looked in the pictures and not super clean. The beds were pretty hard (we typically prefer firm beds but this was hard). The pools is actually accross the street and theres only 4 chairs, so limited seating, but it wasnt busy when we were there. We stayed in toher similar priced places for much better in my opinion.

Avoid if you can.

The room itself was OK, however, there was no outer window. There was 1 window which led into the corridor so there was no privacy when drawing the curtains, so we kept it shut. The bed was reasonably comfortable.

The bathroom had lots of mold on the ceiling, which looks like it could have been easily removed but it seems that there is a theme of avoiding crucial maintenance in this hotel. The sink also clogged up frequently and for long durations.

The worst part of the hotel was definitely the swimming pool. It was the most digusting pool of water I've ever seen - lots of dirty, oily gunk floating around everywhere and a large brown area at the bottom on one side. The chairs were all dirty as well, and the pool area generally was not maintained at all, so it was very uncomfortable to stay there.

Also, the pool is on the other side of the road and not actually connected to the hotel.

I would strongly advise against staying here, even if you find a good deal.

Would not stay here ever again. You get what you pay for. The bed was not a bed, it just a padded box spring. No mattress, extremely uncomfortable! The shower pressure was very low and the water temperature went from scolding hot to cold every 10 seconds. The light the bathroom kept flickering and would not stay on. Upon check out if you wanted to leave you bags with the hotel they charge you a fee to hold your bags. This hotel is very hard to find because it’s not on a main road and a lot of the taxis and tuk tuks don’t know how to find it. If you are walking to the markets and main raod you will get lost. Also the wifi sucks, it kicks you off after 5 mins. I would highly not recommend staying, but you get what you pay for.

Stayed here for a couple of days whilst I worked out where in Chiang Mai I wanted to spend my time. Set in a nice quiet area, but very handy to the nightlife area of loh Kroi Soi. Some great temples nearby as well as plenty of places to eat and drink. Room was comfortable for a solo traveller which suited me fine, would be fine for a couple as well. Close to night markets which are off Loh Kroi Soi. Would recommend for other travels. I moved around Chiang mai and stayed in 3 different places. Make sure to spend some time in Old Chiang Mai City.

This apartment is very hard to find. There is no indication from the main street to lead. If you look at the street address, you can never find it because it's situation inside a spider road network far from the main road. Asked more than 10 people, none knows this name. Took an hour to find. No kettle, no hand towels. Floor towel was from the previous occupants and is never changed. mosquitos everywhere. Set breakfast is included. When asked for a piece of toast more, we have to pay 30 Baht!

Hidden hotel.

The hotel is small, and well hidden on a back street in Chiang Mai. When first arrived, was really nervous to venture out, as it seemed as if we were in a back alley somewhere. Travelling with friends, helped to start the exploring, and it didn't take long to realize we were only a couple of streets away from a great shopping area. And after a few trips down the very narrow streets to the main areas, we became more comfortable with the area. The hotel was small with a nice little breakfast area, and a small pool across the street.
Chiang Mai, is a nice clean city.

Needs some updating, but overall quiet and safe

This hotel is fine. The beds are very hard--similar to sleeping on the floor. The pillows are super old and flat, and the sheets have seen a better day. There are some basic repairs that need to be done like water damage to ceilings and fillers around windows to prevent mosquitoes from entering. Overall, the staff was very nice and available. The location is good. It just needs a serious update, and is a bit pricey when taking that into consideration. There are comparable places to stay that are below this price point for sure. The pool is nice if you have children, but isn't big enough for an adult to swim. It was a clean place, but needs newer sheets/pillows for sure.

Overordnet var hotellet okay, der var bare ikke noget at komme efter som var godt. Servicen var der næsten ikke, kun da vi skulle have kufferne op på værelserne. Ud over dette er deres pool på den anden side og meget mindre end der vises på billederne. Der var intet roomservice da vi boede der, jeg ved dog ikke om de har specielle regler angående dette siden vi ikke fik noget. Sidst var hele hotellet åben så myggene kunne nemt komme ind på værelserne hvilket var nederen, og der var ingen myggefælde på værelset.

Perfekt boende för oss då vi letade något billigt och bra läge. För oss saknades egentligen ingenting. Vi fick ett väldigt stort rum, med liten balkong vilket var mysigt! Det fanns även en liten pool några meter iväg, den var dock lite kall haha!

Vill man hitta saker att klaga på så går det, så som renlighet och att vissa saker inte satt fast som dom skulle, Men för oss var det jättebra!

När vi ville på matlagningskurs så hjälpte personalen oss att boka och fixade även till billigare pris!
