You won’t find better in Chiang Mai for comfort, good service or location. Particularly nice for older guests who want quiet, but young people like it, too, for the calm ambiance and pleasant neighborhood. A true joy!

Breakfast was just OK and the location is OK—made better once you realize how close you are to the wet market. But the rooms were spacious, and the service was EXCEPTIONAL. On check-in, I noted the wonderful smell of Jasmine flowers in a bowl, and the clerk said they came from her garden. The next day, a small garland appeared in my room! I couldn't believe it. They helped me in several ways. I'd return for the helpful service any time.

Nice sized room

Room was very spacious. I got a suite with a separate room.
The bathroom had a separate shower room and a different room for the bathtub.
The condition of the shower was less than desirable but tolerable considering the big spacious room size.

Beware of bogus charges and terrible beds

This was quite possibly the worst hotel I've ever stayed at. The first night we were in a room with a broken AC and a terrible mattress and I spent the night awake in 90 degree heat. They moved us into another room where the AC worked but the mattress still sucked. It was like a yoga mat on a cement slab. We would have moved hotels but the rooms were already paid for through Hotels.com and we wouldn't have gotten a refund. We didn't enjoy Chiang Mai because we barely slept.

Then when we went to check out they charged us extra for a pillowcase claiming that we got \"hair dye\" on the pillow. Neither of us use hair dye and we absolutely did NOT stain a pillow with anything. When we asked to see the pillowcase we \"ruined\" they said it had been washed already. We had no choice in paying this charge because they kept a deposit for the room key and refused to return the full deposit.

I would avoid this hotel when staying in Chiang Mai. The beds are terrible and I suspect they make their money ripping off customers with bogus charges.

Do yourself a favor and STAY HERE.

The staff at Viangbua Mansion is first-rate. We stayed here for one night after a dreadful stay at a hostel that presented itself as an upscale guesthouse on another booking site. In that one night, they put us in a suite, provided laundry services, assisted us in acquiring a scooter rental, and even held our bags after we checked out while we took off to Wat Soi Duthep. While the rooms are a little drab, the hospitality more than make up for it. This was hands-down our best hotel experience throughout our entire trip. We most definitely will stay here again!

A real home far from home, with all the conveniences surrounding like market, little shops, farmacy, red cab and the Old City. Friendly, charming and helpful staff, we definitely recommend Viangbua Mansion to our friends to everybody! And most of all, we will return there for our next trip .

Underrated high quality boutique hotel!!

I cannot express how satisfied I was with my stay at Viangbua mansion. At under 20 USD a night, I was a bit apprehensive about the quality of my stay...however I could find nothing to complain about! The staff had a very high standard of customer service and spoke fluent English. The lobby and rooms were very large and very clean. Laundry and fitness centers are available for use, and the free breakfast was delicious. I also booked a tour through the hotel, which was very reasonably priced and thoroughly enjoyable. Its a kilometer or two away from the city but nothing a 30 baht songthaew ride won't solve! All in all I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone staying in Chiang Mai.

Great hotel at a bargain price.

It is located in the quieter location of Chiangmai. Everything is closed by 9PM except for nearby 7 Eleven. The hotel restaurants closes by 3PM. There's a near by Siri Wattana Market, for all kinds of foods located just around the corner behind this hotel. There's an in-room safe but it's not big enough for a small laptop; it's only big enough for your small valuables. The white towels are more grey and they provide 3 different sizes. The shower is sectioned off from the toilet and sink which is rare in hotels in Thailand. The hot water is never hot enough for my preference but t's more the norm in Thailand than an exception. The room is big and had a separate small living room area with a small 2 person sofa. However, the 13\" tv is hardly big enough for the living room Also, the partition that separates the bedroom and living room obscures your view to the TV. So, yes... you can't really watch TV from your bed. The room also comes with a small vanity dresser that acts as a desk for your computer. There are adequate number of electrical outlets throughout the room for my many electronic devices. The WiFi is free and it's fast enough to view videos. The hotel staff is professional and efficient. I was checked into my room within 5 minutes. They use electronic keycards, so there's no need to turn in your keys every time you leave the hotel. Overall, I would recommend this hotel and perhaps stay here again.

Not too bad for the price

It definitely looks better on the outside than it does on the inside. I was a little creeped out by the dark hallways. The rooms were a little tight and had, for me anyway, too much extra furniture. The location is close to a busy market with lots of food and clothes options. Unfortunately, it's a bit far from the center, where a lot of the action is at. The staff is very friendly and accomodating, though.

Good value for money

Stayed there for Xmas, I was a bit surprised how good it is considering the relatively cheep rate charged. It's in Chiang Mai's gay area, most of the gay bars are just walking distance from here. My room is spacious, and Staff are very helpful. special thanks to the girl Joy working at reception for all your help, you made my stay very enjoyable. I will definitely stay here again.

My favorite hotel in thailand

i was very happy when i arrived at the hotel....it was very beautiful....the staff was so friendly and helpful...they went out of the way to help me....my original reservation did not show 2 people in the room and they did not add on an extra charge..they helped me with day trips that were fun and very reasonable compared to what my friends paid at another hotel.....loved that there was a great market just blocks from the hotel....very local...loved it....if you are looking for the typical tourist food this is not for you...very tasty and cheep food and shopping too...
the bank is just about a block from the hotel across the main road and gives a good rate...just a note....if you want a soft western bed...this is not for you as it is typical thai style....not so soft but good for your back.....they packed a breakfast for me and my friend when we had to leave to a day trip before the regular breakfast hour....this is the best deal in chaing mai

Nice hotel for a long stay.

The rooms are nice and have lots of storage. There are some nice restaurants nearby and lots of street food options at the public market just around the corner. I think that many of the guests stay for weeks or months at a time. It is a bit far from the old town. It is worth renting a scooter to get around. There is free covered parking for scooters in the basement parking garage.

Excellent staff and great rooms

The staff at Viangbua are amazing. They are so genuine, helpful and friendly. The hotel itself is beautiful and our room looked onto the mountains where Doi Suthep was. Very spacious room with tasty breakfasts, and a great menu for other meals. Despite other reviews, I thought the location was perfect; not too far at all from town.

Big room with living room area. Shower was separate from sink and toilet like western styled bathroom. Excellent staff were very friendly and helpful in booking tours.My friend and I were there during Songkran and we celebrated with the staff on the street. Throwing water on cars and bikes that passed by. Breakfast was nice. You help yourself to fruits, juice and water. Breakfast is prepared a la carte. The amazing staff is the reason why I would come back to stay at this hotel! For tours, most of the areas that are visited is north of the city. The location of the hotel is north of the city making the shuttle pick us up last and drop us off first coming back :)

Easy access to the Sky Train

Although the room could use a little upgrading, it was clean and spacious. The staff did an excellent job of cleaning every day and of replenishing toiletries, water, etc. The hotel common areas are beautiful, especially the pool area. I also took advantage of the massage services at the hotel and was delighted! Even though the services are a little more expensive than if I had ventured out, they are still incredibly cheap compared to other countries. The breakfast buffet could use a little more variety but, in their defense, I am a picky eater. The hotel itself is in a great location; one block from the Sky Train station and one block from known restaurants such as KFC and McDonalds. Overall, great place to stay and definitely a great value!

Great stay in wonderful hotel

Clean and spacious room. Stayed 4 nights and never had an issue. The rooms are cleaned daily and mopped. The staff is friendly and helpful, they were able to assist me with tour reservations and taxis to the airport. The included breakfast was really good. The hotel is a bit far from Nimman road and about a 20 minute walk to the old city. Red truck taxi is about 20-30baht per person and tuk tuk is about 140baht so it's not too terrible to get around. There's also a market that's 2 blocks away which is great for getting food.

nice place

The hotel is quite nice. The rooms are spacious and are serviced daily. I enjoyed the free breakfasts and the friendly staff. The hotel is in a fairly quiet area, but close to a large market and some small restaurants. The main attractions of CM require a taxi ride. Sometimes the return trip was a bit more costly b/c many drivers don't know the hotel. i would be happy to stay there again, though -- I like the quiet, friendly atmosphere.

Excellent hotel

Viangbua Mansion is a great hotel, very clean and excellent service. The breakfast is great, there is a choice of traditional Asian, American breakfast (eggs, sausage, toast), waffles and fruits, and this was included in our room rate. The rooms were cleaned daily, with fresh sheets and towels, as well as fresh drinking water in the fridge. Free wifi in the room, just ask reception for the code. The reception staff were great and very helpful when booking taxis, trips etc. The hotel is a 15-25 minute walk from the main city, depending on how quickly you walk. This wasn't a problem for us however if you don't like to walk you can easily grab a cheap communal taxi from the main road. There are 2 7/11s close by as well as many banks. Only bad thing is that there are no restaurants near by, you need to go into the main city to eat out. Would highly recommend and will diffidently stay here if we return to Chiang Mai.

Clean, Simple and Cheap

Viangbua Mansion. There is very little to expound about this property. The rooms are clean and air conditioned but lack a tub. The mattress definitely is in need of an upgrade. This isn't the property for you if luxury is what you're after. It is located some distance away from the Night Bazaar and dining area but is easily accessible by a simple tuk-tuk ride (20-30 baht pp).

Good deal for Viangbua

We stayed in here for approx. 4 days while visiting Chiang Mai. The hotel lobby was beautiful, but once you get upstairs, it starts to look pretty industrial. Our room was large and for the most part clean. Had our own private balcony which unfortunately looked out into someone's home across the alley way. Hotel staff was incredibly friendly and very attentive to our questions and concerns. The only thing that was a bit of a problem was that the mansion was a little out of the way of the main part of Chiang Mai and it was about 100-150baht to get from the mansion into central Chaing Mai for shopping, food etc.

チェックインはスムーズでしたがその日の夜にシャワーのお湯が出なくてそのまま水シャワーでしたが翌日に修理をしてもらい後は快適でした。
コインランドリーは故障台があり使えたのは洗濯機が1台30バーツで乾燥機が10分あたり10バーツ。
コイン両替はホテル向かいにあるコインランドリーで簡単に出来ます。
朝食付きプランならフロント横のレストランで7種類から選べてお粥はとても美味しかったのでおすすめです。
タバコは室内やベランダでも不可ですがホテル入り口のテラスで吸えるようになっています。
また、近くにMINIビックCやセブンイレブンもあるので便利ですよ。
補足ですがMINIビックC前にあるRYUマッサージには日本語が話せるママさんがいてしかも安いのでオススメです。1人だけいるおじさんマッサージ師は力が強すぎてオススメ出来ませんが他のおばさま達はレベルが高い印象です。
