Chiang Mai Thai House — Hotel in Chiang Mai Province

My partner and I stayed at Chiang Mai Thai House in the beginning of February and we were so grateful for the experience. Located just outside of the canal square, we found it easy to get to all the places we wanted to go. A short walk one direction and you were in the heart of Old town, or short walk in the other direction got you to the riverside area with the Night Bazar in between the two. We were lucky enough to be in Chiang Mai during the annual Flower festival and were able to watch the parade from the end of our road, a minute-if that- from our room.||We were originally booked only 2 nights here, and upon arrival decided to extend our stay for a total of 5 nights. We stayed in the standard room on the lower floor, and found the rooms to be clean and had everything we needed, bed, hot shower, working air con and a mini fridge that was most appreciated. The reception area was lovely, a few seating areas for guests to mingle, cold water in the fridge, hot water for tea or coffee and some small snacks were always available. The pool was nice, although we never did go in, it was lovely to sit around and dip your feet in. The complementary breakfast was served quickly and was tasty with different egg options, french toast as well as yogurt, fruit and muesli. ||What really made this place stand out was the staff and their willingness to help us in any way they could. Sarah had very impressive English and was eager to offer up suggestions of things to do and see and seemed to know the fastest and cheapest ways to get to and from any location. She arranged outings for us and even helped us book our accommodation for our next guesthouse, she was a real gem. Other staff members were also eager to help, always delightful greeting you day or night. We highly recommend CM Thai house and would...

I have no idea how this is listed as a 3 star hotel. There are so many issues with the hotel that I would definitively not come back. But first, let me list some of the positives. The price and location were great. I would argue that it is overpriced for what you get, but it's still very affordably priced. The pool was also nice, but was very cold and had to ask to get a pool towel. Free snacks and coffee. However, one of the main reasons why I'm giving this place 2 stars and not just one star is that the people running it were very nice. The list of negatives is so long that I will not write out every single thing. But here are some of the major problems: bathrooms are in desperate need of updates (toilets need 4-5 flushes, mold, weird outdated showers, no toilet paper holder so you just put it on the water tank behind or the sink, not even the most basic bathroom amenities like soap for example, and so many other issues), no elevator (which is a problem when you are on the top floor and have a bunch of suitcases), construction right across because they are expending the hotel to that location, ants in the room, walls are paper thin and can hear from several rooms away, and many other issues. For me personally, just the issues with the bathroom will make me to never come back again. I actually had to look through other reviews to see why this hotel had such a high rating, and noticed a bunch of other reviews highlighting the problems with the bathrooms for the past couple of years. It has definitively been noted and not addressed...
