Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Rooms may not be fully soundproofed — One guest noted that rooms were not particularly noise insulated, though they found little external noise to be bothered by.
  • Pets not allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which may be a consideration for travellers with animals.
  • Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only available between 14:00 and 23:30, so late arrivals after midnight would need to plan accordingly.

“Stylish hotel with a delicious breakfast. The location was marvellous, close to the Sunday market and the centre of the old town. Bar Mango Mania was just 200 metres away.”

8.9Verified guest

“The personal service level stands out – nothing was too much trouble, and every staff member was focused on guests. Friendly smiles at reception, attentive service poolside and in the restaurant, calm professional spa treatments, and thoughtful extras like local cultural demonstrations. Food was excellent, rooms were well appointed and air-conditioned, though not particularly noise insulated, there wasn't much noise to bother us. We will be back.”

“The room was beautifully decorated and well-kept, with Thai-style slippers, a balcony, and a nice bathroom. Breakfast was extensive and delicious, with eggs cooked to order at an egg station, served on gorgeous crockery. Stunning location in Chiang Mai's Old Town, near restaurants and shops.”
