“This boutique hotel, tucked away on a quieter back alley in Chiang Mai, distinguishes itself with unique decor that incorporates precious mosaics and historic hand-painted tiles. I found the location convenient for accessing the cultural sites and night markets. Its onsite dining, Muay Thai boxing ring, and sustainable practices are notable assets.”

Guests appreciate the spacious and clean rooms, with some booking triple rooms featuring a king-size bed and a proper single bed, alongside complimentary amenities. While generally modern, some guests have noted that the soundproofing could be improved. Many enjoy the breakfast, particularly the egg station, finding it so substantial that it sometimes eliminates the need for lunch.

decent optionsnoisy air conditioningsmall pool area

The breakfast had decent options, nothing too exciting but acceptable.

I found some issues however. The air conditioning made a lot of noise, so sleeping well was difficult. the pool area felt really small, almost cramped. There were few lounge chairs available. This made relaxing by the pool less appealing.

I stayed in a premier double or twin room, and wow! the room was super clean, which i loved. breakfast was a treat with pancakes, toast, omelets, and tons of fresh fruits and veggies. the staff were so friendly. They were always ready with a smile and quick to help. i really appreciated how close everything was. I could walk everywhere easily!

the only tiny thing i noticed was some tight roads on the way to the hotel, they were a little tricky.

Mixed Feelings About This Hotel

decent locationunreliable wi-fiabsent staff

The hotel's location was decent, near markets and temples.

The Wi-Fi signal was unreliable. It kept dropping out when I left my room, it was annoying to have to sign in every time I returned. The television had no international news channels. A real inconvenience. The staff seemed more interested in their phones than helping guests.
