Hotels near Wat Phakhao Temple

With less than 50 meters between the front door and Wat Chedi Luang this hotel is really at the heart of the old Chiang Mai. It is easy to move around easily with the numerous tuktuk and taxis waiting out of Wat Chedi Luang, expect to pay 30baht/person by taxi or about 80-100baht by tuktuk for short distances. The staff was very helpful and very nice. The bed and room were very comfortable, only downside is you will not want to leave it to visit the city. The hotel's decoration is nice, it matches the photos with an old style. Very good food at the hotel's restaurant and awesome included breakfast. There are also many restaurants in the city opened until 10pm, 11 for the few last one. Breakfast hours are 6-10 which allows you to take a breakfast before being picked up for some activity. As of november 2017 the hotel is brand new and some part are still being worked on, I would not recommend coming before december to enjoy the hotel at its best.

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 choose between the set options. Over the 5 days I tried most things and, whilst not being worthy of a Michelin Star, it was edible. The location is good for the market and the temples, which is literally a few minutes walk from the hotel. Loy Kroh is a bit further being a 10-15 minute walk and maybe a 20 minute walk to the night bizaar. Not a problem for me as I love walking in the evening, however, there are plenty of TukTuks and taxi's around and its all rather cheap. A TukTuk from Loy Kroh road back to the hotel cost just 100 baht. The bike hire place across the road was a very reasonable 250baht per day. The staff were always pleased to see us and were, in my view, quite professional. Would I stay here again? Yes!

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 very friendly upon arrival, and we left our bags (without any issues) at the hotel for 2 days while we went trekking in the northern hills. The rooms were spacious, the hotel was very well maintained with clean rooms, the rooms had functioning air conditioning, and the rooms had safety boxes. It was beneficial being on the perimeter of the old city as all drivers had no issue accessing our hotel, and everything within the city limits is in walking distance. There were plenty of delicious restaurants nearby. The only area this hotel was a little ways from was the night bizarre on the east end of the city. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and would recommend this place to anyone looking to spend ~$40 CND/ night.

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 day. Staff - 4 stars. It was difficult to communicate at times as repeatedly asked for a guide and ended up with a driver that didn't know much about the temple we went to. Walk to Chiang Mai Tour Center - a total gem and will make all the difference in your experience of Chiang Mai / surrounding area.

The location may be a bit out of the way (one minute walk from Wat Phra Singh) but I rented a scooter (from across the street from the hotel) so we were okay. The breakfast buffet was excellent. There is a large swimming pool although the water was very cold in January. You will feel that the hotel was run very professionally. Negative: We had to leave for the airport at 4 AM. I booked a taxi via the front desk. The hotel charged us 400bt for supposedly a taxi but it was a private vehicle. I was ripped off because it should only cost 150bt, maybe even cheaper by Grab. I should have cancelled the booking but I was not thinking and the currency conversion temporarily confused me.

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 roof form, and the 2nd storey study is also beautifully designed. Not to mention the surprising arched entrances to the hotel block. All in all, an architectural delight. The staff were helpful, eager, and always doing their best to help.

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 outside the bottom floor rooms, But would much rather have the view and enjoy the fish on my way in/out of the room. Liked the feature where I could lay in the bath and open a screen and see the tv. Speak in the bathroom for being in the bath or surround sound from the bed. In a very quiet neighbourhood, a little out of the way, but we had a car so not an issue for us. Major Wat/school around the corner popular with tourist, the novice monks had a football game going when we visited, a nice sidetrack. I recommend an upgrade to deluxe.

Our stay in Bodhi Serene Hotel was very relaxing. The rooms, garden, pool and athmosphere of this hotel is really charming, calm and pleasant. Evrery room has a balcony, comfortable beds, quite a lot of space, clean and well equiped bathroom with round bath-tube. The location is really central in the old town of ChiangMai, though the street (Ratchaphakhinai Rd.) is quite calm-not too not noisy. You can easily walk (just aroud the corner, 5-10min) to the temples: Wat Chedi Luang and Wat PhanThao, also to WatPraSing can get by walk. Really convenient and beautiful hotel, the pool is clean, beautiful a bit cooler (which I like) and no chlorine smell. We stayed 3nights (wish it could be longer) continued to Sukhothai, staff helped us to buy bus ticket so we did not waste time by going to buy it at bus terminal. Would love to stay here again! About food (we only had breakfast here)-good choise both asian and western..(can never understand why so many people eat western food here in Thailand???) Not too far from here is really amazing restaurant (northen Thai cuisine)name:HuenPen, after 7p.m. people are waiting to get there)

We stayed here for two nights in January 2018. Pros: 1) The location is good. It is bang next to Wat Phra Singh and all the temples inside the city centre is within walking distance. 2) The tariff is quite cheap for the quality of the hotel. 3) Rooms and bathrooms are clean 4) The breakfast is excellent! There are lots of vegetarian choices as well. 5) The sleep quality is great. It is very quiet at nights. 6) There is free WiFi and the connectivity was great. 7) The staff was very courteous and knowledgeable and spoke quite good English. 8) There are lots of good restaurants within a 10 min walking distance. Cons: 1) Their laundry is 24 hours and not 12 which is standard everywhere else. 2) The rooms and bathrooms are bit on the smaller side. 3) This is an adults only hotel. So if you are travelling with children, this is not an option for you.

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 reception counter were very nice and helpful, especially Jar this lady. She gave us many good information about sightseeing in the Old City and introduced "Grab" this app (kinda app alike Uber). We could get to our wanted place easily by using this app. Apart from this, Jar also helped us to search the spa facilities and even made a phone call booking. Despite the helpfulness, the staff of Sumittaya Hotel are very efficient. There was a blockage at the water basin of our room, we informed the reception about it, the reception called the housekeeper to check it at once and fixed it soon.

Although I travel a lot, the Rachamankha is easily the best hotel I have stayed at in Thailand, and perhaps anywhere. I lived in Thailand for over a year so am familiar with Thai service and food, but the Rachamankha topped any experience yet. The owner is apparently a Thai architect who has restored the building carefully, and who uses the hotel and the gallery to house part of his collection of Nothern Thai antiques. The care and attention is clear in the details throughout the cloistered courtyards and in each room. As an aside, the hotel is very well situated next to Wat Phra Singh and inside Chiang Mai's old town. The food at the restaurant is excellent - the Pad Thai is a contradication, being a peasant dish that tastes like a Michelin starred chef prepared it. The service is excellent - attentive, but unobtrusive - and the best I have had in Thailand. Yet it very reasonably priced, compared both to restaurants in Bangkok and in Chiang Mai (approx THB 220 for a main dish). I chanced upon the Rachamankha while trying to book a decent but not too expensive hotel for a weekend in Chiang Mai for the girlfriend. Having stayed at the Rachamankha I will be back to Chiang Mai just for the hotel.

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 photos) to place your shoes in so you don't have to carry them up and down from your room. We stayed in room 301 which faced the back of the hotel. Loved our room! We were worried that our room was right next to the elevator and even looked at another room because we were worried about the noise from the elevator. The only other room they had was one with 2 queen beds and we wanted a king so we took the room by the elevator and had absolutely no issues with it at all. Once in the room you never hear the elevator-it is super quiet and quick to get up and down. My wife is extremely noise sensitive and this hotel and the elevator were super quiet! Breakfast was amazing! We loved breakfast every morning. They serve you a lot of food, included in your main entree they also serve fruit and bread, everything was delicious! The staff was helpful during our stay with directions and anything else we needed. The beds were hard which we prefer so we had good night sleeps! They didn't offer face towels which we are use to in the US so we asked for extra hand towels to wash our face. They also didn't offer lotion so we had to buy some to use while we were there. They do provide shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothbrush and toothpaste as well as shower caps and cutips. It is good to know that only the rooms are air conditioned. The hotel lobby and area where you eat breakfast isn't air conditioned. We were there when it was over 100 everyday and didn't find this to be a problem. But, being use to air conditioning this was a surprise to us when we arrived-we adjusted fine-I would still stay here again.

I enjoyed my stay at the Moondragon Hotel. The location is great and the facilities are nice. Relatively close to the airport with fares between 150-200B. The location is on the same street where the Sunday Market is held, very close to Wat Chedi Luang and Wat Phra Singh Woramahawihan temples, and is centrally located between the East and West walls of the Old City. If you don't like to walk, songthaews and tuk tuks are readily available. The facilities are nice although the beds were not as comfortable as I prefer and I definitely would ask for a room away from the street which I think would be quieter. Breakfast options were good. Overall, I liked the Moondragon, and would recommend it to my fellow travelers.

The 99 Heritage Hotel was a great find for us on our travels to Thailand. The hotel is an old mansion of the Lanna kingdom that has been renovated and is being rented for commercial purposes for 30 years, per Jon, who is the Co-Owner/Manager of the Hotel. The hotel has its own authentic charm. Jon is genuinely kind and down to earth and helpful in making our stay the best it could be. The entire team of staff at the hotel are all outstanding. My husband and I enjoy food and the food here was the best we've eaten in Southeast Asia. (The chicken satay peanut sauce is not to be missed! Its Jon's mother's own recipe and is amazing!) The hotel is around the corner from the Sunday Market (not to be missed) and is across the street from a beautiful Wat. Though we give this hotel 5 stars in all areas, we feel that what makes The 99 Heritage so special are the people who work there.

+ nice and clean swimming pool + pleasant lobby with tables + friendly staff + bathroom quiet good + good location really close to Wat Prah Singh a beautiful temple and to a mainstreet with restaurants (we liked "It's good kitchen" with delicious Mix Juice and cheap food) and shopping - really noisy at the ground floor because you are near to the lobby - again when you are at the ground floor your window is directly on a wall and the sound of the air conditionning resonates a lot - room dark and shady

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 temples worth it. staff is very nice and helpful.

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.

We are a newly married couple in our late 20s from the US. The Wannamas House was great, especially because of the staff who were so welcoming and gracious all the time. The breakfast every morning was very good, and the room was very clean. The reason for 4 stars on the location is because it is not as close to the night bazaar/nightlife area or restaurants as some may like. It is in a relaxing quiet area, and short walking distance to Makkha Spa (amazing Thai massage). There is still very good local restaurants and many Wats in the area. We took a taxi to the bazaar and had scooters for sight seeing. Wannamas is inside the Old City Walls. Highly recommend staying here!

An unexpectedly interesting and well situated hotel only about ten minutes walk from most of the key attractions for tourists in Chian Mai itself (Night Market, shops, Hard Rock Cafe, numerous Wats for those interested in these centres of religion, etc) with more than sufficient taxis and tuk tuks for those preferring to get around in vehicles. The hotel is larger then most in this part of Chiang Mai with more than the usual number of interesting decorative features likely to appeal to residents and ensure a pleasant stay: a museum/store room, Alice in wonderland chair and numerous other forms of sheltered seating, swimming pool, outdoor eating area and indoor restaurant. The food on offer was reasonably priced and varied. If ever returning to Chian Mai and seeking accommodation this would be our first choice. The hotel also has a unique taxi for airport collection and delivery with a feature we have never come across before: seats that massage your back as you travel. The room double room we booked was modern, clean, with an external seating area, and had all the relevant facilities apart from a hair dryer but we never checked to see if one was available.

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 monument is just around the corner. We asked the hotel to arrange car for us to go and see the temple in the mountains and the King's palace and the Zoo - they did it and it was such value for money! The Internet is fast which also helps a lot. The breakfast was not included but they have tea/coffee facilities and a toaster and some fruits in the morning for free. The swimming pool is small but it was still so much fun for the kids to refresh themselves after a tiring day. Will definitely recommend this hotel to my friends!

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, during check in, they give you a nice cool towel and a cold drink which was great because it was quite warm in the lobby area as there is no air con there (learn to find out chiang mai is not as hot as other places so it was tolerable. Rooms are air conditioned so no concern.) The staff there are wonderful. They are fluent in English and are so so helpful. They gave us excellent recommendations to eat nearby, helped us contact some agents when there were issues with our booking and of course helped is book a massage session as well. On top of that, they always knew what room we are in which surprised me at first but then I found out they have a list of guests staying in the hotel with their pictures next to the room. Them knowing who we are and always having a very welcoming attitude really helped me feel at home and made the experience very personable. Also, I did get to try breakfast in house one morning and it was good. You get to choose from a few choices (ie. Thai style, western style) and there was also a little mini buffet area with pastries, cereal and salad. Excellent service! Only con would be some of the towels and blankets/sheets have some stains. I left facilities as 5 star but I don't think they actually had anything. I was not informed nor looked for them as I had such little time there.

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. Highly recommended!

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 good, lovely choice of omelettes plus much more buffet style food too. If you can’t he bothered to venture far on a night you can eat in the restaurant or order a pizza. Rooms were immaculate and spacious. The maid was great too. There is a small pool which is kept clean and perfect to cool off from the heat. We did a couple of trips from the hotel which were amazing. In particular the visit to Chaing Rai which included the white temple, the hot springs, lunch in a lovely restaurant off the beaten track and a visit to the golden triangle which included a boat trip down the Mekong river. I would definitely recommend.

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 hot afternoons. The room itself felt nice with its modern style. We booked the Family room arrangement. It was comfortable and room size was more than sufficient. All clean as expected. The staff is very sweet and always tries to support you and make your stay as comfortable as possible. Thai hospitality as its best. As breakfast was included the food was healthy and very tasty. We enjoyed our stay here very much and definitely come again to this gem if we visit Chiang Mai again...

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, free fans... Very well thought out and made our stay so relaxing!! We were also in an excellent location to see temples and taste local food at Huenphen restaurant and the hotel-- amazing breakfast and authentic northern Thai food at the hotel restaurant! Would absolutely stay again and recommend to friends. Thank you, Baan Huenphen!
