Very nice hotel, especially for the price. Convenient location once I learned my way around. Great restaurant and entertainment walking right across the bridge over the river and a 7-11 next door. Very nice staff as well. Would definitely stay again and recommend.

2 nights, Clean, room. Price is right for what you get. Still, don't expect much amenities.
Smiley and helpful staff, but you have to engage them first because they are very busy.
Recommended stay, especially if you just need a place to sleep.

This is a very nice hotel for it's price! The double bed room was spacious and functioned well. The location is in what I'd consider the most vibrant area of Chaing Mai, with ample cafes, bars and night markets.

Perfect, affordable hotel near river. The very minimum downsides were the bed was hard and I could hear people using the bathroom. I had earplugs and headphones so it didn’t bother me, more than shocked me. Other than that I liked the place and will stay again.

The staff was friendly and helped me get my laundry cleaned. No breakfast and no mattress. You read that correctly. No mattress. Others have indicated that the mattress is really really hard. It's not a mattress, its a support platform for a mattress. The most disappoint thing was that the hotel could not assist me with getting a taxi to the airport. Really. I walked down to the Riverside hotel and the person there helped me get a taxi. Next time I am staying at the Riverside. Wish I would have seen it before I stayed here.

Nice location but that’s about it

The hotel it’s self was nice but costing around £17 uk a night which is expensive for Thai , given the mattress was like a slab of concrete , no kettle / tea or coffee in the room.

Staff allmost rude , don’t say hello as you pass the desk or didn’t seem very helpfull. Just not

Great location

Fairly comfy bed, nice hot shower and quick walk to markets. Nice view of the river and Iron Bridge, if you get a balcony room. Staff nice, but only one member could communicate with us easily in English. Zero soundproofing- we stayed on a Saturday night and the noise from revellers and crazy drunk people on the river was SO loud. Sunday night, thankfully, perfectly quiet.

Mawin Hotel Chiang Mai.

This was my first time at Mawin and i was impressed for what you got for around 900 Baht per night. there is no breakfast included but that is not a problem as there are many places you can eat within easy walking distance.Staff where nice and the room had a safe which is always good but i had that feeling of security in this place, it felt nice. there is a large front car park, easy to access and has about 12 parking places. there is one thing, people who arrive on motorbikes or scooters are allowed to bring them inside at night either side of the foyer, they where wheeled in not driven, it was not a problem to me and seemed relativly quiet apart from the trafic on the main road outside,again it was okay with me. Overall i do you think you get a lot of room space and security for a small price.i will return here next time.

Solid, clean and conveniently located

The location is super. Right at the river (great for morning runs) and a few steps away from 7/11 and Rimping (International grocery store), eateries and coffee places. The lobby is very basic, upper areas where the rooms are is very clean and adequate. Rooms are clean and some have a wonderful studio-like lay out with large flat screen TV and balcony. Guest are a good mix of Thai, Asian, and Westerners. I have easily paid double this price in Bkk for similar accommodation as I am used to a certain standard. The stay was most comfortable (definitely between 3 and 4 stars).

you get what you pay for .. simple as that

I stayed at Mawin for the 3 day festival ... for that particular time it was the best location since its literally 10 steps from the ping ping bridge that will take you towards the main roads ... night market ... bars ... etc. So for us was a great location since we were walking distance to everything ... now the hospitality of this hotel forget about it ... dont even expect hand soap .. they said they don't have that ... even when you put the sign for them to clean your room they don't ... do for the 4 nights spent there our room was never cleaned by staff ... we literally had to ask for toilet paper as well since they never gave us an extra roll ... the sink is literally right next to the bed ... the whole room set up is weird or i should say just different from what im used to. Now if you're traveling with friends for the festivals and arent going to be spending time in the hotel then this is actually an excellent location and cheap. The distance to the airport is great we got charged about 200 baht and theres a 711 right next to the hotel.

Great location just across the small bridge from the main night market. This hotel was extremely clean, convenient and reasonable. It doesn't have a lot of extra ammenities like a breakfast, safes in the rooms, and the hotel staff speaks limited English. But if you're looking for a cheap place to stay that's safe and clean this is perfect.

The Hotel appearance may not impressive but the room size does. We were very pleased when we entered the room and discovered the room was very large and decent clean. Can't complain with the price we paid for, worth for the money. It's just across the bridge to the night bazarre on foot, say w/in 3 mins. Also close by to Chinatown w/ tutu taxi w/in 5 mins or 10 mins on foot. The travel agent and massage place are just a few buildings away. We just walked there to book our culture show dinner and enjoyed our massage as well. For sure we will stay here again.

Just Right

Mawin isn't fancy, but for ~$20US/night, it is impressive. The room was just right, clean, large and bright. The woman, who I assume was the owner, was kind and spoke English. The other staff spoke less English but was still happy to help with a smile. While not in the Old City, the property offers easy access to the Night Bazaar and sits just across a bridge on the Ping River. The only less-than-perfect detail is the parking it behind the hotel that features a whistle-happy attendee who makes afternoon naps difficult. But the grocery store, ample food options, and 7-11 next door certainly make up for it.

Nice hotel on river's edge

I stayed here two nights. The hotel itself was rather basic (no pool, business center, or restaurant), but clean and well maintained. The front desk staff knew just enough English to check me in and refer me to the tourist information center and travel agencies located right next door--but couldn't answer detailed questions in English themselves. They were nice enough to store my luggage between my arrival time and the time I was able to check in. The wi-fi was okay for e-mail, but not quite strong enough for Skype or streaming. There was a mini-fridge in the room. The TV had enough English channels to keep me informed on the day's news. The location of the hotel was excellent--about a four block walk to the night market and a ten minute walk to the old city. I felt that this hotel provided excellent value for the money.

Close to PING RIVER - NIGHT MARKET

The hotel itself is fairly new... however it is Thai Construction. The rooms are setup more like monthly apartment rentals than a hotel. No standard westernized bathrooms or showers. The sink is actually outside of the bathroom.

The hotel is on a busy road... and if you do get a room that faces the road. Noise can be a problem.

The comfort of the beds are not great at all... hard mattresses.

It is a good value for the money compared to other hotels at the same price and location.

Huge basic room with a view of the Ping River.

Huge room as we had the upgraded room that faced the Ping River and the Iron Bridge. Yes there is a moderate amount of traffic but after 5 years of travel to Asia earplugs go in the bag first. Their is no decorations in the room as it is very basic but clean. A short 3 block or less walk across the bridge to the night market and about a kilometre walk to the train station. There is a seven eleven right next door and a supermarket less than a block away. Also an elevator!

Great place to stay when visiting the night bazaar

My wife and two children chose this hotel because it was close to the night bazaar. It is a short, pleasant walk across the street, across the bridge and then a few more minutes and your at the night bazaar. The hotel appears to be new, and the rooms were clean, although on the small side. The hotel staff seemed to not be the typical pleasant Thai, but rather a little distant. There was noisy construction next door, but that was out of the hotels hands of course. Overall, this was very inexpensive, but more than worth it, and very nice.
