“This hotel's traditional Thai decor feels especially suited to Chiang Mai, and its quiet location belies easy access to Loi Kroh Road's nightlife and the Chiang Mai Night Bazaar; its large pool stands out. While the key system feels outdated, the spa and business facilities appeal to a broad audience. I think it is a solid choice for visitors to Chiang Mai.”

Dated Facilities. Acceptable Service

early check-in included snacks broken equipment limited selection
The staff provided an early check-in and included snacks and drinks upon my arrival.
The gym seemed neglected, with most of the equipment broken . The breakfast also disappointed me, lacking sufficient food options and variety. The bar advertised itself as a wine bar, yet only offered a limited selection of house wines.
