Exceptional lodging in Chiang Mai
Pros:

Room and bed were perfect, comfortable, and spotlessly clean. Staff could not have been more professional and helpful in any way. I would come back in a heartbeat. 10/10!

Pros:

Отличный небольшой отель. Встретили тепло, по домашнему. Отличное расположение: не далеко от старого города, но в то же время тихое место. Вкусный завтрак, хотя порцие небольшие. Очень чисто и зелено ! Все создано с любовью. Рядом так же хороший сервис по аренде мотоциклов.

Cons:

Небольшие порции на завтрак))) чаще всего в путешествиях 2х разовое питание. И нам недостаточно было утренней порции. Но это никак не уменьшает оценку места

Great accommodations near old Chiang Mai. Don't miss staying here.
Pros:

This was our second time staying at the White Elephant Home and we would gladly stay there again. First, it is easy to reach from the airport. If you chose a taxi which we did on our first stay super easy, if you drive it isn't bad. It helps reviewing the route on map first. Rooms are very comfortable. We have stayed in two room types. This time was more traditional hotel room layout. We had a nice view of the parking/courtyard area. The staff are wonderful, same from last visit. That should tell you something. The business has a laundry located at the entrance. Laundry is inexpensive and with a fast turnaround. Multiple breakfast options prepared quickly and delicious. Neighborhood is safe and easy to walk if you want. Less than five minutes to walk to the Chang Phuak Night Market. Air conditioning is fabulous. We were there when it was over 90F/32C the AC kept it comfortable.

Cons:

I don't know, they could have let us stay free of charge! :) As I said it's wonderful.

Parfait. A quelques pas de la vieille ville. Calme et extrêmement confortable. Rapport qualité prix incroyable
Pros:

Tout. Les chambres spacieuses et bien aménagées. Le confort de la literie. La gentillesse et les attentions du personnel. La qualité du petit déjeuner et du service laundry. Le fait qu ils aient gardé nos valises lors d un séjour de deux nuits en dehors de leur hôtel

Cons:

Pros:

Welcoming and friendly staff. Everything is within walking distance. Rooms are well-equipped, sunny and super clean. What’s more important is that my room was very quiet and I slept very well every day.

Cons:

I’d prefer a buffet breakfast though I know it would be impossible for a family-run hotel.
