Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Out of the city center — Located a 10-minute drive from Tha Phae Gate, a taxi into town costs around 200 baht, which may be a factor for those wanting to be in the heart of Chiang Mai.
  • Mixed reviews on value and location — While some guests see great value, others note the location is outside the busy area and requires transport, and a couple of reviews rate value and location lower.

“This hotel is a true find – the rooms are spacious and the Thai-style furniture gives it a royal feel. Great value, and the staff go out of their way to make your stay special.”

8.3Verified guest

“If you want more than just a standard room and prefer to avoid the tourist crowds, this place is a great choice. We booked a two-bedroom villa and were blown away – it felt like a wealthy Thai family's home. The main bedroom is huge, both rooms have en-suites, and the solid teak furnishings are beautiful. It's a bit outside town (200 baht by taxi), but that makes it very peaceful. You can stroll to street stalls, laundry, and minimarts nearby.”

“I had a wonderful time here. The staff were incredibly friendly and made me feel at home. The design is unique and charming, with a sense of history and elegance. The place was spotless, thanks to daily housekeeping. The location is a bit secluded, but that adds to the serene vibe. Breakfast by the pool was a great way to start the day, with a good variety of options.”
