Pros:

ประทับใจพนักงานต้อนรับเพราะว่ามีแนะนำดีแล้วก็ห้องพักอยู่ในย่านคูเมืองใกล้กับสถานที่ต่างๆสามารถเดินไปได้และข้างๆที่พักมีลานนา square สะดวกต่อการซื้ออาหารรับประทานถ้าไม่อยากไปไหนไกลแต่ราคาจะสูงนิดนึงเนื่องจากเป็นแหล่งที่พักของนักท่องเที่ยว

Cons:

ห้องที่พัก ในห้องน้ำมีน้ำรั่วจากห้องด้านบน

Pros:

Only stayed for one night and it did the job!
Very basic accommodation but you get what you pay for.
Free tea, coffee and water. You can also use their fridge!
Located in a good area of the old town, easily walkable to lots of bars, restaurants and shops.
The staff were friendly and helpful!

Cons:

The mattress was very hard but this is quite usual in Asia.
We booked a room with only a fan, I’d recommend paying a little more to have aircon to be more comfortable
