The hotel is absolutely amazing and the staff are really great. All staff is very friendly and helpful throughout our stays. We really like to thank one of the staff who is called David. He had helped us in so many ways. He is so trustworthy, and whenever we need help or assistance, David would definitely be the one we want to seek for advise. He is very proactive, spe...

Arrived with my lady friend and greeted well by the staff who quickly checked us in and showed us to the room. The room was slightly smaller than I expected it to be, but it was very clean, had a massive modern TV with all the channels, and a great bathroom. The breakfast was included, but very limited in options, offered a kind of McDonalds style menu and asked to c...

We booked the Roseate Hotel for 2 nights and upon arrival wanted to stay for our full 5 nights in Chiang Mai but they were booked a couple other nights. This hotel was our best experience and value for money by far. We got a room upgrade simply because they had it available. The only thing it didn't include which most other hotels did was breakfast. The staff were ve...

Location - 5 stars. Coffee shops, temples, food, night life - all of it. AWESOME! Property - 5 stars. Incredible and very special - boutique. Given its size - would not suggest this property for family with active (loud) kids. Sound carries within the property (although you do not hear street / area noise). Breakfast was really great and a perfect way to start your d...

When we arrived at the hotel, all we can say were "Wow"! The hotel looks beautiful with the classic decoration. They have nice swimming pool and great garden view. It's absolutely relaxing and chill. The hotel location is close to 7/11 and easy to access to restaurants, food court and temples surrounding. The staffs are also very friendly and helpful as you ask them ab...

The location was perfect. Right smack in the city and close to the tourist spots (temples, night markets, city gates etc.). When you enter the hotel from the busy streets, the white walls and dark floors, together with the water courts and sensible landscape calms you down. The lobby is beautifully naturally ventilated, with an eclectic mix of Asian furniture. The ...

I think we got the best room in the hotel. Top corner that looked over the pool and garden, best of all, over the rooftops to a Wat (temple). I could lay in bed in my fantasticly designed Thai style room. Wife wasn't as impressed with the view (Thai), but I loved it. Bathroom was great, tub, and I loved the balcony where I could go for a smoke. Loved the Koi ponds...

I stayed at Bed for 4 days in Late June, and had an excellent experience. The location can't be beat - half a block from the center of town and the largest and most important temple in the city, as well as the massive Sunday Night Market, there is likely no more convenient spot for travellers anywhere in Chiang Mai. The hotel was clean and quiet, with real character...

I stayed 4 nights at Sumittya Chiangmai Hotel in mid Nov, 2018. This hotel is located at the Old City which is only 5-minute walk from the Sunday Walking street and the oldest Chiangmai temple, Wat Chiangmun. Although the room is not spacious, but it is clean and tidy. Varieties of food of the breakfast is less but the food is pretty delicious. The staff at the rec...

We got the 2 bedrooms suite upstairs which is the best room of the hotel, stay there for 3 nights. Very relaxing. The service is excellent but not to the level of other 5 star hotel in Bangkok. What was lacking was indeed the smile from front desk at check in, waiter and waitress, bell boy, including the pool person which is rather odd in Thailand. The hotel give a ver...

This hotel was a perfect stay for us. First of all it located in Old City and you can walk to everything from the hotel. I love that the hotel is on a quiet street. There is a temple across the street. We also loved that you have to take your shoes off prior to entering the hotel and are given sandals to wear on the property! You are also given a storage area (see phot...

This time around, we traveled to Chiang Mai in a group and have booked two types of rooms. A suite room and a standard executive room. What we do like about Moon Dragon Hotel are: a) its hotel location which is central to the Sunday Night market. Less working more shopping. b) accessible to certain Wat / Temple and local restaurants which is a must go for us. c) no do...

One of the best hotels that I have stayed at. My girlfriend and I stayed here for one night but we loved it here so we stayed another three nights! It's beautiful, spacious and it felt like home. There was also a swimming pool at reception and in addition complimentary snacks and drinks. The food at the hotel was delicious, it's what you would expect from a restauran...

after 3 months travelling all around SEA, i can confirm this is the best hotel we have stayed in. Look no further and book. Firstly its really cheap. Even though Breakfast isn't included, toast is 20baht for 2 slices evey day. We booked a double room, and it was fantastic for the price, memory foam topped comfy beds, free wifi which is strong, Air-Con, TV, free water, ...

The Hotel is perfect in all the aspects: clean, the staff, excelent breakfast, WiFi super fast, Swimming Pool. The location is good by foot for the temples and they have bycicles for free. Close to the hotel you can find a lot of restaurants, supermarkets, laundry, travel agency, etc. The hotel is modern and the staff is always doing their best.

This boutique hotel is located within the old city in the quiet soi and it's only 100m from the Tapae Gate which means you can easily walk to all the major attractions such as Night Bazaar, Temples etc. We booked 2 Delux rooms but the hotel gave us Super Delux. All the room are spotlessly clean and came with a super king size bed (I recommend all of you to book the big...

very nice boutique hotel near main places. room needs place for clothes, a small guardrobe would be perfect. they make the room everyday but not much, u can see they just make beds and clean bins. even though rooms are quite OK. a\c is very silent and that's a extra. you can find cheaper tour outside but I don't know if hotel ones are better. tour to the Chiang rai tem...

The hotel is new and breakfast is excellent. The bread is soft and salad fresh. It is very relaxing to enjoy the breakfast in their nicely decorated dinning room. The room is spacious and clean. Although the hotel is situation in a small lane but it is safe and serene. The location is close by the local market where you can get cheap food and some nice restaurants...

I booked this hotel with for my older mom and I. They were SO HELPFUL, we arrived early and they called and got us a massage appointment. We accidentally needed to book an extra day, no problem! The breakfast is nice, the hotel is gorgeous, the staff genuinely cares about you. STAY HERE, best hotel in Thailand.

The Kodchasri was our favorite hotel in our 3 week trip around Southeast Asia. It's in a great location - walking distance to many different places. We walked to all of the temples, night bazaar, and the street food vendors. The staff was great. Every where we went, we got friendly smiles. We loved the afternoon tea service. It was fun getting a different tea...

We loved it! The staff was very helpful and friendly, the room was big and clean. The location is superb, it's just in the centre of the old city but not facing the main street so it's quiet. We arrived on Sunday and there is a big market at night so we didn't have to walk anywhere far to get all the nice local food and souvenirs. The museums and temples and the monume...

I was here for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. For both days, I was away on early morning excursions and there is breakfast included but I would have missed it due to leaving too early but the wonderful reception staff prepared boxes with a sandwich, yogurt and a drink which is really nice of them to do. I would have not survived without that! Backing up a bit...

Chinda is right in the heart of the tourist area in Old Town, within a short walk to some of the city's best restaurants and bars. (It's in a quite area, however, so no worries about street noise or noise from businesses in the area.) It's super clean and comfortable, with the hottest shower I've ever experienced in Thailand for a place that isn's a luxury hotel. High...

Lovely quiet location but close to many hotspots such as the Sunday market and lots of beautiful temples. This was my first visit to Thailand, staying in China Town for three nights with lots of hustle and bustle but magnificent, then moving on to a more relaxed Chiang Mai at the Charcoa hotel for eight nights. The hotel had a lovely feel to it. Breakfast was also very...

I stayed for 6 nights in March 2016 in Thapae Loft Hotel. The location lays perfectly in the old city. Not far to the zoo, only 20 minutes to the airport. Foot distance to many temples nearby, night market only some minutes to walk. Perfect. A great addon in the middle of the city is the pool. We enjoyed it every day. Cool, relaxing and a calm environment for ho...

We stayed our first night in a well-ranked hostel and then changed to Baan Huenphen on the second night. A difference of about $20 U.S. Was extraordinary!! The staff was helpful with all of our requests and was so welcoming to us. Our room quality was excellent for the price-- better than most 3-4 star hotels in the U.S.! There were fresh flowers in our bathroom, robes...
