We came in on an early morning train and left on an early morning flight, so having 24 hour reception and left luggage facilities was valued. Great location to eat and explore in Old Town.

Great location. Pool is refreshing after exploring the city in the heat. That’s the good.
Mattress just a little bit softer than a park bench. Very little room around the pool. Staff tried to over charge for laundry service.
Staff very friendly but need to be more attentive to the cleanliness of the sitting area in front of reception.

I’ll start with the positives. The staff was super friendly and very helpful. The location was perfect. Only four minutes away from the gate to the city wall and only six minutes away from most of the tours meeting location. You’re right in the center of everything only 17 minute walk to the bazaar. Now to the negatives, the mattress was horrible. When I got to the hotel, I walked in my room and I was so tired. I clapped myself on the bed and literally hurt my back because Mattress was as hard as a rock. I wouldn’t ask the staff if if they can move me to another room with a better mattress and they fit all the rooms at the same mattress. There was absolutely no way I could sleep on that. It was horrible. The staff was really friendly when I asked them if they could bring some kind of padding and they brought over some blankets and placed them on the bed to try to help cushion. It was still pretty hard, but at least I was able to sleep on it. The bathroom was not great. The room itself was a decent size. No smart TV. All in all it is a great location to stay in and the staff was amazing, but the hotel needs to upgrade their Mattresses.

10/10 stay! The most genuinely friendly and helpful staff of any hotel I've ever stayed at. We had an issue with our AC unit on the first night and they immediately moved us to a new room and were very helpful. We extended our stay and they even upgraded our room! The pool is clean and so refreshing after a hot day exploring and they have a lovely outdoor seating area with a koi pond. The hotel is very clean and quiet, the WiFi is fast, and the location can't be beat. It's a short walking distance to the Chinatown market, the weekend markets, the gate, and tons of cafes and restaurants. If I was back in Chiang Mai, I would stay here again!

Nice place good location hard mattresses

Nice room, nice pool, bed was very hard but most Thai beds are hard. Here’s some advice from a Canadian BnB owner.
Yes I own and operate my own BnB near Victoria Canada.
It would be sooooooo easy to purchase 3” soft memory foam mattress toppers for these old mattresses. This would make them so much more comfortable to sleep on.
The front desk is a nice entry and nice people.
Besides the hard mattress I would recommend this place.

Disappointing Stay - Unsanitary and Dated Bathroom

The room I stayed in was extremely dated, and the bathroom was nothing short of appalling—an absolute eyesore that felt unsanitary. The water pressure was abysmal, and the hot water lasted all of three seconds before turning cold. To make matters worse, there was no iron provided, so I had to wear rumpled clothes during my stay.

The only redeeming factor was the staff. They were friendly, polite, and went out of their way to help, which I genuinely appreciated. However, even their great attitude couldn't make up for the disappointing state of the facilities.

I would not recommend this hotel unless you’re a backpacker with low expectations and just need a place to crash for the night. For anyone else, spend a little extra and find somewhere more comfortable and updated.

Great property set a block or 2 off the Main Street making it quiet but convenient. Only issue I had and reported to the front desk (and they were already aware of I might add, making it a known issue) but didn’t have the energy to move rooms on the 2nd day of my stay since they were sold out the first day, was a pump right outside the window of my room (110 I believe, end of hall on the right) that went on and off consistently every 5-7 seconds. So if you are a light sleeper I would recommend avoiding that room.

Cheerful guesthouse

At the time of my stay (Dec 2023) one of the buildings was being rebuilt. This meant that there was construction noise during the day and no breakfast service.

This is more of a guesthouse than a hotel. Some great features if that's your style, e.g. free instant coffee at reception and a fridge with beer and soft drinks sold for cash at only a small mark -up from supermarket prices.

The swimming pool is about 15m x 5m, so ok for kids to splash around.

My room was a little basic but had all necessary features including AC. Water provided daily (2x 500ml bottles).

The outside space has plenty of plants. This was the only place in my visit to northern Thailand where I was troubled by mosquitoes, so I suspect the plants attract them.

The location is excellent, 3-5 mins walk from Tha Pae Gate and Loi Kroh Road. If not for the construction work, it would be quiet.

There are many hotels and guesthouses in this area, some of which are more modern than this.

This is more a B&B than a hotel and therefore relatively expensive.
Staff friendly and helpful;
Close to old city centre; Bars, shops and a small supermarket (seven eleven) nearby. Larger supermarket is 15 min drive away.
We felt safe walking back at night from the bars.
Room is very basic, no kettle or coffee maker; Bathroom has shower curtain, low water pressure; bed is very firm, poor pillows.
Also note there is no lift so if your room is on the 3rd floor, carrying 22kg suitcases up is a good exercise.
Breakfast is across the road, but we did not use it.
Parking is very limited.
A rooster of one of the neighbours wakes you up in the morning at 6am
Also, there is big gap between the door (leading to the balcony) and the doorframe, letting in mosquitoes at night

It is a quite area on a small streer. Close to pharmacy, Starbucks and restaurants. The front lobby area is small but nice. If you are not a smoker and ther is one out smoking you are in trouble like myself since I have asthma. The room that I paid extra for an upgrade since it has air conditioner unit on the 1st floor do not have a nice view and you will hear a waterpump all day/night if yor are not a light sleeper you will be fine. Just keep the curtains closed. It is a sored eyes room 110. FYI, the hot water has a reset button on the bottom inside this machine which I had no idea since they just show me the room and gave me the key with no explanation. I took cool shower for 3 nights. I just thought they ran out of hot water or the hot water pump is not working properly. Anyway just ask the front desk when you don't have any warm or hot water or anything else that may not be working in your room.

Fantastic small hotel very close to all the sights and shopping of Chiang Mai. Staff excellent, nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast included however I'm an egg man and when you say that it will be cooked a certain way then that's the way I like it. I've rarely had an egg or steak cooked properly in Asia, even from so called Ozzie or USA steakhouses. That's my only beef! Pardon the pun. But I would stay here again.

Very close to the many temples, restaurants, even found a decent coffee shop black canyon, as per usual be careful tuk tuk drivers offering cheap rides before you know it you're in many places selling you stuff and your day is wasted for 3hours.

Comfortable and clean but a little overpriced.

I had booked a room for one night which seemed very reasonable in price but it was a fan only room and very very hot (you learn from experience) so I stayed two more nights in an upgraded air con room for double the price. Very nice room, on the ground level beside the pool so sometimes noisy from people using the pool. Everything clean, nice bathrooms, friendly staff, good selection of food and reasonably priced. Maybe a little bit overpriced when I now compare other hotels which offered better facilities for the same or lower prices. very busy at the time as was during the Songrat Festival with a large number of young backpackers.

Fuyez - arnaque :

Je ne suis pas compliquée, mais je suis choquée de ce qu’il m’est arrivée.
J’ai réservé une chambre supérieure, lors de mon arrivée, on m’amène dans une chambre (cf photos) avec la porte cassé en rez de chaussé qui ne pouvait être fermée. La chambre était très sale, des cheveux partout, du papier wc usagé, des détritus dans le frigo. La fenêtre de la chambre donnait sur le local poubelle.
J’alerte l’accueil qui me dit que nous allons faire passer la femme de ménage (j’ai réservé il y a plusieurs mois déjà…). Je voyage seule et demande une solution pour la porte. Finalement, après une longue attente on me propose une chambre classique au 4ieme étage sans ascenseur, sans tv avec une invasion de fourmis, tous les matins vous serez réveillé très très tôt car il n’y a aucune insonorisation et les draps sont très sales (cf photos).
Je suis restée la durée de mon séjour, et j’ai demandé une solution pour la différence de standard des chambres, je ne voulais pas être entièrement remboursé mais au moins une nuit pour le principe. Ils ont refusé car j’avais réservé sur expédia. J’avais payé le prix d’une chambre supérieure le prix d’une classique d’après eux, ce qui explique qu’ils m’ait poussé à changer de chambre, volontairement pour la relouer chère. Je suis hyper déçue, et pour le prix d’une chambre en Thaïlande c’est assez cher pour le service médiocre proposé. Je vous conseille de vous dirigez vers des guest house moins cher et beaucoup plus sympathique

This place we stayed many times for the past years because it is a good location close to Tha Phae gate and walking distance to Night Bazaar. This time we found out there has been a renovation and change of owner and not for the better. Although the nice entrance looks quite beautiful the charme of the hotel has gone. The added a huge outside staircase in the swimmingpool area while there was already one inside the building. Now there is 3 ways to go up! Why for such a small place? This means also loss off space around the pool! They use to have a nice menu for bf and lunch and a good desk with nice staff to book trips, all gone, such a pity.
