Old hotel very near to Ta Pae gate

Excellent location very near to Sunday night market.
Hot water not consistent. hot water turned cold suddenly. There is No lift so those with heavy luggage might have difficulty.
There are 2 floor levels within the room which is a danger at night.

Great Budget Stay

Good hotel for the price. Room was clean enough, little run down but all in all a good stay. Breakfast was reasonable and service was excellent! Great location close to Old Town and the Thae Pae Gate. AC worked almost too well, but the fan was a nice addition/option to have. Bed is typical SE Asia bed, very very hard, but to be expected I find on this trip.

Fabulous in every way!

This is an excellent location. Easy access to everything.

Food, shopping, and all forms of transportation were readily available. Only negative is that we had a room on the street and the bar across the street had loud music until midnight.

A pleasant stay with easy access to all the attractions of the old city of Chiang Mai. Whilst the rooms are older they are pleasant and set in a courtyard with older world style verandahs and gardens. A pleasant place and certainly good value for money.

Hotel was so so

There are pros and cons with this hotel. It's cheap and the location is great so that's a plus. There are a bunch of tourist restaurants and cafes all around (at tourist prices compared to local Thai places) and the Night Bazaar is about a 10-15 minute walk. Also, you can walk to the river and other places easily. The furnishings are a bit dated, the blanket and towels are a bit worn out. Also, I didn't like the bathroom because the shower area and the toilet area is together so the bathroom floor is wet and you're tracking dirt in with your shoes when you use the toilet. There's no safe to lock your valuables. The fan and AC was good. It's relatively clean and much better than a hostel but don't expect luxury or have high standards.

Good overall, just don't be too picky.

I don't know what RoongRuang translates to, but I'm guessing \"Pigeon Loft\", as it is home to hundreds of the beasts, cooing and cavorting from sunrise to sunset.
The room opens on a veranda and an interior court with large leafy trees and flowers, so it's quiet even though the hotel is located on Tapae road, one if the busiest commercial streets. It is close to all attractions, the night bazaar, restaurants and bars, large and ancient Buddhist temples and dental clinics. Very important. Get your teeth cleaned professionally for less than $40.
This unit, like so many of the budget places in SEA, does not have a tub or a separate shower stall from the toilet. It's like a \" wet toilet\" in a truck camper. It is equipped with an electric on demand water heater, again ubiquitous in Asia. Not as scary as the \"suicide \" showers of Latin America.
The key ring has a sensor so that all power, but the fridge, is shut down when you leave the room.
AC efficient and quiet, so was fridge.
Veranda nice place to sit with views on the garden and fresh breezes.
The restaurant in the lobby is nice, good Chinese food, a bit pricey and small portions.

Excellent hotel in ideal location

First off, it is a budget hotel. Premium bedding as in the multiple choices to fill in in this review page, no, so don't expect great. It caters to people on a budget and Thais so the price is good. The room I had was clean and overall it was a good budget hotel and the staff that I met were delightful. They all spoke and understood English in varying amounts and communication was not a problem. The location cannot be beat and the hotel was well maintained and clean. The Hyatt or Hilton it was not but would I recommend it, absolutely! I hope to return next year on another vacation and I will definitely stay there if I return to Chiang Mai. And there is a Starbucks literally steps away but I would recommend Black Mountain Coffee a little further away (150 yards/metres through the Thapae Gate. Cheaper and I prefer their coffee

Excellent location but VERY old: should be 2 stars

The hotel should be labeled more as a hostel. Its saving grace is the location. It's located right outside the Tha Pae gate. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The bathrooms were very moldy and simply old.

Just terrible

Only good thing about this hotel is location. Other than that, terrible, I can say this is the worst hotel in my life. Room completely dirty with cockcroach, thin curtain that cannot block out the light, and they leave a light turn on a whole night outside my window and making for a very difficult sleep. Hotel staff tried to overcharge me for taxi to airport.

Great place to stay for nightlife or anything else

This was a great place to stay for me. It is next to the nightlife of Chaing mai. The rooms are located in the back and mine was very quiet. I stayed here for two nights had great sleep. The rooms had solid ac but if you turn the fan down to low it will ice over the coils. They close the parking at 23:00.

What you would expect — nothing wrong with that!

It was good value for a mid-low budget hotel — pretty much what we expected. Very helpful personnel. Our only real complaint was that breakfast was very disorganized and pretty dull — soft, white sandwich bread. Only fruit was water melon. Everything was depleted before replenishment.

they had the basics, and the location was great. Breakfast food was full of bugs, and breakfast service was quite lackluster; I should have just gone out for breakfast. Otherwise, the place had a soft, feminine sense of watchfulness.

宿泊2回目でした。
相変わらずスタッフは明るく良い人たちでした。
今回4階ということもありますがシャワーが1分もしないうちに弱り始め、3分後には出なくなるという症状。
給湯器の温度を下げてもおなじ。
蛇口からな勢いよく出たので不思議でした。

3階から4階へ上がる階段に結構な数の蚊が。
これは嫌でしたね、仕方ないですけど。

泊まられる際には3階以下を指定した方が良さそうです。

No tiene nada que ver con las fotos

Realmente es el peor sitio donde hemos estado nunca no volveriamos ni aunque nos pagaran por ello .Nuestra estancia fue de 12 dias en los cuales nos cambiaron las sabanas una sola vez ademas de estar llenas de manchas al igual que las toallas.Al llegar observamos que no habian quitado el polvo en años y las arañas campaban a sus anchas por las paredes .Los baños sucios viejos y llenos de moho y suciedad ademas de atascarse el baño cada dos por tres .La nevera del minibar estaba llena de suciedad y restos de comida y bebida de hace bastante tiempo.Nos quejamos al llegar y hicieron caso omiso limitandose a quitar un par de telas de araña de la pared.El desayuno es pobre malo y el servicio con bastantes pocas ganas de trabajar .Recurrimos a este sitio por que estaba super centrico (es lo unico bueno),pero hay cientos de hostales en las calles adyacentes que son mil veces mejores y por menos precio .Recomendación :No visiteis ni por casualidad este hotel a nosotros nos amargó la luna de miel .
