If I could give this place a nice 4.5 stars, I would. Let’s start with the reasons I won’t round up: -Every day there were little ants by my door, sink, and desk. I didn’t even have food-in fact, even though there was a fridge, I make it a point not to bring anything back because of the ants. -There was a mosquito the 4 nights that was terrorizing me. It wouldn’t stay still enough for me to kill. -Shower drainage is really slow, so your feet feels soapy by the end because there is a layer of water that hasn’t drained as you get out.
Now the positives: -Right smack center of olde city so it is really convenient to get to/fro -Free breakfast every day. Not complaining because it was nice to have a snack before heading out for the day. Although from the looks of pics or descriptions from a year ago, it seems the breakfast was a bit more substantial and savory (e.g. congee, etc) back then. -Nice traditional decoration in the room and very welcoming with the towel elephants. -People who own or work there are friendly and helpful. One morning as I was eating breakfast, I believe it was the owner who came up to me, smiled, grabbed 2 oranges from the table and insisted I eat them. -Apparently there are rave reviews about their ice cream shop next door-I didn’t get a chance to try...
Read moreThis is a very small boutique hotel run by family members . Not sure if they had more than a dozen rooms on 2 of the 4 floors. The building is a renovated old building that is characteristic of old city Chiang Mai.||There is no elevator but they will help get your bags to/from your room.||We have a triple room for 3 adults. The room is very well appointed, very clean, air conditioned and in rustic Thai decor. Everyday they resupply with 3 bottles of water and a plate on fruits. There is a limited supply of coffee but we got more from the 7-eleven nearby. The daily elephant towel foldings were amusing to see each day we return to the room.||Our main reason for picking this hotel besides the price and clean amenities was the location centrally within the old city walls. This allows us to walk to all the night markets and food markets fairly easily. Chinatown and the Warorot wholesale market is within a 20 min walk.||It is right next to the Sunday Night Market, Chiang Mai’s biggest each week starting at about 5pm to 10pm.||The family also has a small ice cream store at the front of the hotel. Their ice cream was delicious.||The hotel does not have any food service. They also only provide one set of keys per room. Key is needed to enter the hotel after 10pm as it...
Read moreWe selected this hotel in Chiang Mai because of great reviews, and I must say that we were not disappointed. ||||Of course, a convenient location is always improvement to us when we select a hotel, and the most attractions in the city are in the walking distance from the hotel including the Night Bazar. There are plenty of good restaurants nearby. ||||It's a nice small family run boutique hotel where the owner and the family members pays attention to the guest like their own family members. They are always eager to please their guest. They catered to every request we made, and were very patient and helpful in answering all our queries.||||We received an email from hotel that the hotel didn't offer full breakfast, but only Thai snack and coffee in the breakfast. However, what the hotel offered in breakfast was adequate as it included toast, pastry, fresh fruit, some Thai snack and tea as well as coffee in a nice little cozy backyard. ||||Finally, the room was clean and cozy, and well furnished with a very good shower. Unlike most hotels in Indochina region, the hotel didn't ration drinking water to two bottles per day, and that was a big plus for us. Lovely hotel owned by caring people who eagerly provide five...
