Holiday Garden Hotel & Resort ★★★

📍 16 16 หมู่ 1 Huay Kaew Rd, Chang Phueak, Chiang Mai

"The decor is a bit old-fashioned, but the room was very clean, and the air conditioning cooled down quickly. You could even see the sunset over Doi Suthep from the window. An incredibly optimistic and enthusiastic uncle at the hotel entrance helped with our luggage and even spoke a few words of Chinese. The breakfast had a good variety and a beautiful setting, plus there's a pool. It's a hotel with great value for money. It's about a 10-minute walk to Maya Mall, and there's also a popular toast shop right next to the hotel that always has a long queue first thing in the morning."

Thapae Place Hotel Hotels in Chiang Mai

Thapae Place Hotel

"My first impression is already down when they give me the room where aircon leakage is occurred on check in day. Lucky I saw it immediately once I enter the room and requested for a new room.When I requested for cleaning the room, the staff informed me that they will clean after 3pm as so many rooms check out. Wasn’t informed to put signage for housekeeping. FYI : personally informed 3times and room No was given. They should’ve told me earlier if it is the correct way. When I told them, they told me as if it is my fault that didn’t put the signage. The staffs didn’t communicate within each other especially instruct the housekeeping properly. Water bottles were not filled up as well. I think it’s the correct way to provide water bottles even if the customers didn’t request for cleaning. They just anyhow said you can ask water bottles from counter. Toothbrush and disposable slippers were not provided as well. They said it is because of budget. I hope owner see this review and take some action.** Next day they clean my room even though I didn’t hang up the signage to clean. The staff reasons are not consistent. Not recommend to stay even though location is quite central."

"I really liked this hotel; it was calm and quiet. The location was also convenient. The value for money was perfect. The lack of hot water wasn't a dealbreaker for me. There was no kettle or hairdryer in the room. I didn't ask at reception, as I was out exploring the whole time and didn't really need them. I'd probably return if I ever came back to Chiang Mai."

Duangtawan Hotel Chiang Mai ★★★★
"There was absolutely nothing in the room. I don't understand why they asked for a 2000 THB deposit. It had both a bathtub and a shower, but the showerhead was broken, and the room was quite dirty. The location was good though; there's a 7-Eleven right across from the lobby, and the Chiang Mai Night Bazaar is just a 2-minute walk away."

"On the first night, there was an issue with the air conditioning in my room. The front desk attendant checked a new room for me, but since it smelled like smoke, he didn't make me switch. Instead, he gave me a fan to get through the night. The very next morning, he called me immediately to say a new room was available. For service like that, I would highly recommend staying here again. The hotel is simple and clean, and all the front desk staff are great!"
