10 Specialty lodgings in Chiang Mai: Best hotel deals for 2023

May 3, 2023 Esmeralda Fenner

You could spend your whole Chiang Mai vacation exploring the famous Night Bazaar. Once you’ve exhausted the art of the cheerful haggle, however, there’s plenty more to explore. The National Museum and Botanic Garden are great places to soak up some local culture and to breathe in the delicate fragrance of Thai orchids. In the city’s center, the remains of ancient walls embrace over 30 temples. Limber travelers can climb 300 stairs to Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep, an ornate Buddhist temple in the hills.

Very good choice

Reviewed By ljzag

We were staying in deluxe double room with extra bed that was added for our child. Hotel is located at a good location, 5 minutes walking to the Rachadamnoen Road where Sunday market takes place. We bought Thai SIM card and used Grab for in-town transportation, which was cheap, and very convenient. Rooms looked a little bit more "tired" than on the pictures, but were very decent, and pleasant. Each day we were given free bottle of water for each of us. Our room was located on the third floor where swimming pool is. You can take beach towels in front of the swimming pool. The best asset of the hotel is nice lady that is sitting in front of the hotel and organizing tours. She helped us getting into our room early, as soon as it became available, so we got it at 10:30h instead of 14:00h, which we really appreciated after the all-night flight. We booked few nice tours at her counter including the visit to elephant camp with baby elephant, and a driver for one- day excursion. We went to Mae Rim to visit Botanic garden (go to Botanic garden early in the morning since afterwards it's crowded and you will wait for a long time to enter), Long neck Karen village (not very authentic since it's staged, but was still nice to see), and Poo poo paper park (they have guided tour which is great for kids and grown ups). We've also visited Umbrella factory in Chiang Mai as a part of our 1-day excursion, but this was really not worth it. We were very disappointed, since there was nothing much to see except the shop where you can buy Thai umbrellas. We had great feet massage in Lila Thai Massage on Rachadamnoen Road which is 5 minutes away from the hotel. Massage costs a little bit more than on the street or some other massage places near by, but the environment is much more luxurious and pleasant. We always got some small presents and the tea after the massage. Ex con ladies are working there, in an attempt to rehabilitate and start the new life. Back to hotel... Breakfast was included in our room rate. It's not something, there is a large space for improvement, but you won't stay hungry. Our room was overlooking some backyards and it was peaceful, except one evening when there were some kind of karaoke going on in the neighborhood which was rather loud, but it didn't lasted too long, and it was actually fun to listen karaoke in Thai language, and somebodies funny attempts to sing. All in all – hotel provides very decent accommodation at very good price, and we would recommend it.

This is our honeymoon trip in Chiangmai and we are gay couple!! Since we arrived, we have received genuinely great service from the reception staff (unfortunately, I can’t remember her name). They all greeting us with extraordinary service which was beyond our expectation. The swimming pool on the ground floor is great and huge enough for the hotel guests. Also, they have a cute bar nearby the pool with special promotion buy 2 get 1 free. Unfortunately, we will stay for 5 nights only. We promise we will return to stay here again when we come to visit Chiangmai.

Cherlock Hotel

A hidden nature habitat. Nimmanhaemin, Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Terrible!

Reviewed By 180renej

Inspite of me being the ONLY guest in the hotel staff required me to check in and out on time on the dot. Even charged me 500 baht for checking out at 1pm. TERRIBLE! I was suppose to to extend 1 more night but decided to just leave because staff kept on calling and annoying me about this. Even if i told them that I will extend one more night prior to their constant calling. TERRIBLE! When I left they had no guests. Not worth it for approx 3,000 baht per night. There are many more better hotels at a lower rate, better service and bigger rooms in Chiang Mai.

Jasmine Chiang Mai Boutique Hotel

Very Good for our Five-Night Stay

Reviewed By SwampeastMike

Jasmine is located in a quiet part of the old city. Don't worry about noise day or night. There are simple restaurants, street carts and convenience stores in the immediate area. A delicious welcome drink (some sort of unusual purple juice) is given. Our deluxe rooms were very large and clean. There was ample storage and a surprisingly large refrigerator. The mattress was firm but not rock hard like some we had in Thailand. Daily cleaning service is provided. The baths were very clean and nicely sized. The lavatory has hot water--we found most during our three-week visit had only cold. The A/C worked flawlessly and quietly. Our room had a nicely sized corner balcony. Breakfast is at extra cost and you must give the time you want to be served on the evening before. (This may not always be true as I believe there were very few guests with no others having breakfast.) There is a small menu with both western and Thai selections. We all enjoyed our breakfasts. While the description says, "free public parking" there is actually free private parking just behind the hotel. The staff was helpful and friendly and most spoke at least basic English. Our rental car had a battery problem (a dead cell) and they helped us get a jump-start and to contact the rental company for repair. Accommodation in Chaing Mai is rather expensive by Thai (and Cambodian) terms. I searched long to find a nice, clean place at modest price. We were not disappointed and would gladly return. Mosquitoes are a way of life in Thailand and we definitely killed a few in our rooms and suffered some bites while sleeping. Fortunately these are not the hideous little mosquitoes found in the Mediterranean area that cause insane itching that sends many people running to the pharmacy for some kind of relief. Bring/buy insect repellent and use it frequently--particularly in the morning and evening! Mosquito netting would be a very nice and well-appreciated inclusion.

Ban Thong U - The Landmark

Very disappointing meal

Reviewed By ChicoRanMan

We were not pleased with the food at Ban Thong U. The Tom Yum was expensive and flavorless! It looked like all the right ingredients were there, but the soup had no taste. The broad noodle with pork and fried rice with pork were both pretty bland. For 370 Baht, we expected a better meal. The butterfly pea tea was the best part of the meal. It was very good. The waitress was friendly, the bathroom was clean and this outdoor restaurant had a comfortable feel to it. In summary, this restaurant with the nice setting along the Ping River might be a good place for drinks, but I do not recommend the food.

Worst place ever - never stay here

Reviewed By nicolerF9866MC

This place is terrible. The bed is uncomfortable. There are bugs everywhere. The shower is tiny and there’s ants and bugs. They don’t clean the place at all. The owner is never there. I arrived there and there was nobody to be seen I had to wait for him to show up because he was on his way from the market so I had three bags and he wasn’t accommodating at all. He was rude and not friendly. He also swore At my friends when I had them over. He’s an awful host and this place should be shut down!

Friendly resort with helpful Chinese-speaking staff

Reviewed By Gan Y

I stayed here as a medical tourist as I was injured in Phnom Penh. The staff of Huean Khamhom treated me excellently with bandage and complimentary breakfast consists of bread and jam. They gave me the address of a local clinic where I could follow up with my injury treatment. The medicine that I bought at the clinic healed me faster so that I could return to Singapore two days after safely. The staff are conversant in Chinese, English and Thai. The cats of the resort are photogenic.
