Mira Residence and Resort

Charoenmueng Area
March 2022 to August 2022: I live in Chiang Mai and my mother is visiting from India and this was a perfect location based on our location to put her up at. Daily rates include breakfast and cleaning. We opted for monthly and got a great deal. She's been living here since March. Rooms are good, big enough, clean, fresh, good beds, air conditioning, refrigerator, kettle and if you go for the bigger room and the family room you get a small workable kitchen with a electric gas and chimney. Water and laundry machines are in the building. They can come for cleaning your room and changing the sheets at a nominal cost. There is a restaurant (limited hours and limited but good food and coffee), gym, swimming pool. Parking space is available. We'll connected to the city with cabs and I'm sure the reception can help and guide you. They are very prompt in their communication. There's a small garden and play space. Clean and tidy. Quiet and peaceful. Free WiFi. Recommended for everyone, single, couples, family.
Ae Lana Chiangmai Hotel
3.8/54 Reviews

On a business trip to Chiang Mai, I chose this hotel by chance. Unexpectedly, I found a treasure and had a very special stay experience. Overall, all the facilities in this hotel are very new and the rooms are clean and tidy. I learned from the front desk staff that this hotel has only been open for a few years (unfortunately, it has encountered a special period of three years and is still persisting silently). It is said that before 2019, there will be a large number of Chinese tourists staying for a long time, so the service signs in the hotel lobby, rooms, restaurants, etc. are specially equipped with Chinese and English prompts. Many tourists choose this place. I guess besides the important factor of being very quiet at night, the traffic here is very convenient, and it is very convenient to come from the super highway; I tried to walk from the hotel to the Central Festival, which is about 1.2 kilometers, that is, It only takes ten minutes; it is about 1 kilometer from the hotel to Chiang Mai Railway Station and only a few hundred meters to Chiang Mai Long-distance Bus Station. No wonder this hotel is very popular. I would like to add that this time I stayed in a room on the first floor of the hotel. I didn't expect to open the curtains and go straight to the swimming pool. I opened the floor-to-ceiling windows and could sit on a chair by the pool for a nap. This was an unexpected surprise. The breakfast is also very good, offering a rich variety of buffets. In addition to the Western style, I personally think that the northern Thai style bone soup rice porridge is close to Chinese food, and the taste is quite good. Finally, the staff I met in the hotel provided very good service, and their gestures truly reflected the hospitality of Thailand as a country of smiles. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to them!

The staff at the counter speak good English and are friendly, so communication is no problem. There is free tea and snacks and biscuits in the lobby. The one-bedroom suite we stayed in was very nice, with a kitchenette and an open-air bathtub. I thought it had a high value for money and was a very cute room type. I can’t say whether the location is good or not, because I rented a motorcycle locally, but most people would think it’s a bit remote. Breakfast is to choose a type of egg dish, with bacon, sausage, lettuce, etc., and then there are some buffet bars with few choices and not very delicious, but it seems that there is no option to skip breakfast when booking a room All in all, I highly recommend this accommodation

Perfect location for the train station but a little far out for visiting Chiang Mai. Lots of parking available. The staff were friendly and helpful, room was clean and great air-conditioning. Free tea and coffee available downstairs 24/7. Good food options available on foodpanda and some restaurants nearer the station. Small swimming pool was also available to use, which I didn't see in any of the listing but was a brilliant surprise! We would definitely stay again if we needed to be near the train station, we were really surprised how good it was for the price.

Best Time to Visit Chiang Mai

During this time, the weather is cooler and more comfortable, with daytime temperatures ranging from 25°C to 30°C (77°F to 86°F) and cooler evenings.

Another good time to visit Chiang Mai is during the shoulder season, from late February to April, when the weather is still relatively cool and dry, but the crowds have started to thin out. However, be aware that the air quality can be poor during this time due to agricultural burning, especially in March and April.
