Beautiful, Quiet, right in the heart of the city.
Pros:

It was in the heart of the city. Close to all tourist attractions. Amazing location easy to grab a grab ride. This beautiful hotel is privately tucked in an alley. It’s quiet with a charming atmosphere. The staff are super kind. I absolutely loved the room with enough space to be comfortable. Clean linens & towels. It is all you need for a long or short stay.

Cons:

I loved everything!!

Pros:

Não parece hotel. Parece um lugar com quartos para usar
A entrada é confusa. Os funcionários não muito atencioso. Achei caro.
Mas a localização era razoável.

Wouldnt go back to stay here again
Pros:

Location was not too bad

Cons:

Many things didn’t work/ function correctly. They front desk people didn’t understand what we weren’t trying to communicate to solve the problems. The younger one had bad attitude. The receptionist the day we arrived on the other hand was great. Very skimpy with toilet paper and things like that

Excellent boutique hotel in a good location
Pros:

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The property is well located in a quiet part of the old city but just a short walk from restaurants and places of interest. I would certainly stay there again. Good value. My room was excellent and the bed very comfortable.

Great central Chiang Mai location and fab value
Pros:

Fabulous location for our needs.
Comfy beds (not rock hard)
Very helpful staff
Room to park the scooter
We have booked to stay again.

Cons:

Shower in our room was a little dodgy - needed a rose head repair

*not an issue but be aware there is a 500bht, cash room/key deposit. (we've been travelling in Thailand for 3 weeks and this is the first time this has been asked for). Receipt given so again not an issue - just don't arrive without some cash.

Great Hotel
Pros:

Very clean, room was lovely, cleaned every day if you want it and amazing for the price.

Cons:

Not a lot, it was great for us. Stopped in other hotels in Chiang Mai which were twice the price and half the quality.

Enjoyed the stay but there are many small things that need improving.
Pros:

Location is difficult to get to and with construction and a school nearby was not quiet.

Cons:

Foyer was cluttered. Staff did not seem interested. Room was ok but shower was blocked and balcony was wet and dirty. Very limited TV channels.
