Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Street-facing rooms can be noisy — A few guests staying in rooms at the front noted traffic and street noise – if you’re a light sleeper, it’s worth asking for a quieter room.
- Breakfast choices are limited — While the breakfast is generally praised, one guest found the selection on the smaller side, though still adequate.
- No pets allowed — The property has a strict no-pets policy, so you’ll need to make other arrangements for animals.
- Check-in window is specific — Check-in is only possible between 14:00 and 23:00, which may be restrictive if you arrive later than planned.
- Price is on the higher side for a 3-star — Rooms start at around £167 per night, which is above the average for Chiang Mai’s budget hotels – though many guests feel the location and breakfast justify it.

8.6Verified guest“Perfect spot – the night market and old town were both a short walk away. We could stroll to the vibrant markets easily, including the Sunday Market. The staff were wonderfully friendly and made us feel at home. The room basics were well looked after, the owner was attentive, and having breakfast included made it great value.”
8.6Verified guest“We came over Thanksgiving and stayed in a modern, tastefully decorated hotel that was close to everything I needed. The staff were responsive and helpful, always ready to assist. Being near popular attractions and great restaurants made exploring so simple.”
8.6Verified guest“A real find – the value here is hard to beat. The rooms are spotlessly clean with the kind of care you don’t expect at this price. The staff are warm and make a real effort. Everything is walkable, especially the night markets, and you’re well placed for the center and old town. Breakfast being included was a lovely bonus.”
8.6Verified guest“If you want to stay in the heart of town, this is a brilliant option. Several night markets are within walking distance, and the Sunday Market is close too – exploring on foot is easy. The rooms are modern and comfortable, with great beds and a clean bathroom. The staff are friendly and efficient. The breakfast selection is on the smaller side but still decent, and a few rooms facing the street pick up some noise.”
