Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was truly exceptional. The rooms were spacious, delightful, and very comfortable, featuring a comfy big king-size bed, a selection of soft and hard pillows, a large TV screen, a big safe, a well-stocked mini bar, a refrigerator, a generously sized bathroom with extra amenities, and a very efficient air conditioning system. Our room was large enough for all of us to unpack and spread out a little, making our stay even more enjoyable. The location was ideal, just a short walk away from the Night Bazaar, with easy access to other transportation options. The dining experience was top-notch, offering a delicious buffet with a wide variety of dishes from different cuisines and an impressive selection of fruits and vegetables. The hotel's facilities were outstanding, meeting all our needs during our stay.
The hotel is conveniently located with easy access to various attractions. The rooms were spacious and suitable for our family. The service was friendly and efficient, making our stay pleasant. The dining options offered a good variety of dishes. However, the facilities could use some improvement.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, clean, and very comfortable, all at a great value for money. The service was top-notch, offering various convenient amenities. The location was fantastic for exploring the city and enjoying some relaxation by the pool. However, the dining experience had its ups and downs.
The hotel offers a prime location not far from the city center and the renowned Chiang Mai Night Bazaar, making it convenient for exploring. While the room given was tucked away without a view, the executive suite's outdated bathroom was not on par with a modern four-star hotel.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel, with rooms served daily boasting a wonderful view of the hills and the famous Wat Doi Suthep temple. The extras were a definite plus, and I loved the brilliant console near the beds for controlling the lights and air conditioning. However, the dining experience fell a bit short on some modern essentials. Overall, a great value for money.
I was pleasantly surprised by the fresh flowers in the room, which added a nice touch to the comfortable and well-furnished space. However, the hassle of negotiating a room swap at the front desk was a downside. The hotel's location was excellent, close to the Night Bazaar and Anusarn Market, but the constant ringing of the housekeeper's telephone outside our room was a bit of a nuisance.
