Hotel di Bandar Lama, Chiang Mai

For the price paid, I was expecting a 5 star kind of facilities, but a bit disappointed. The photo of the hotel looks good, but it is actually sitting in a small plot of land. So there is no facilities exactly, with a small pathetic swimming pool. The rest of the land is stuck between 2 walls by residential neighbors. The room itself is normal. The only take away is the breakfast - western ala carte no buffet, is really nice. But unfortunately we missed most of them since can't wake up early.

We got the family room, which was absolutely nothing like the beautiful, modern rooms in the main hotel, which the couple we were traveling with had and enjoyed. It was quite the opposite. Our room was in a connected building with a dark, shabby, un-attended entry. Simple railroad-style rooms were separated by curtains only, so parents have to walk through kids’ room to access the bathroom. The bathroom is oddly large and institutional, all tan and tile with stalls for multiple toilets and showers, reminiscent of a dorm. At night, bright lights shine through the windows all along one side of the room, even around the curtains — glass was frosted and windows unopenable. The room’s lounge area was not remotely comfortable for hanging out in. We still had access to the pool in the main hotel, but it is very, very small. And the cafe serving the little tables near it was never open (bring-your-own situation was fine, however). Good location and staff was kind. But for the price we paid and what the website showed/misrepresented, we expected much nicer.

INCREDIBLE..... We stayed for a number of weeks just next door.. Pea is super passionate about the best experience.. she is an awesome cook... and everything she does puts 100% effort. They gave a real talent for design and architecture in the boutique hotel and the cafe... they are currently working hard to get a bakery next door renovated.. We have got to know Pea, her husband and Jeff thier son and they are really special people who take pride in what they do If your either staying at the hotel or wanting to eat thier you will get a great meal with amazing people....

Great location for exploring downtown / old town, right next to the entry of a temple Phaya Yakkharaj (Southern Pavillion) and many other sights. On sundays you‘ve a huge night market right in front of your door step, so make sure you’re going to stay over the weekend. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Room amenities and the entire minibar incl. Snake is refilled daily free of charge. Furthermore there‘s a afternoon tea time with additional free snacks and drinks. Just the breakfast selection could be a bit wider. Especially when you have your breakfast close to closure (10:30am), you might be disappointed as not much will be refilled after 10am. The room are spacious and well equipped, my kids and I had 2303 & 2302. Just a proper hair drier is need, not this built in useless blowers we all know and hate to use. Also the provided pillows are ultra hard and high, so you may request for a extra soft feather pillow or neck support pillow if needed, which will be provided by the hotel staff / housekeeping. Hotel pool area is clean and well maintained! All over a great place to stay with reasonable pricing and great service!

We had a great time staying here, we booked on the day as we accidentally booked too short at another accommodation. We are so glad that happened because we had the best time. The staff put on an event for Songkran out the front, with an inflatable pool, water guns and buckets and drink and food! We stayed for hours. Check out the complementary Thai milk tea coffee machine in the lobby 😍

The hotel consists of four buildings, each four stories high in a quadrangle formation. The pool is inside the quadrangle and all rooms are accessed from an open walkways around the interior of the quadrangle. Unfortunately, the noise reverberates and echoes throughout the hotel. We were woken at 5 am by a screaming baby and again at 7 am by guests rolling their suitcases on the walkways. Our room appeared to have been recently refurbished, all cabinetry and paint was in good condition with no chips or signs of wear and tear. The bathroom however was a different story and needs a complete renovation. The room was comfortable and a good price. The hotel appears popular with overnight tour groups.

Beautiful cozy boutique hotel , the nice cafe at the lobby serves up decent beverage and fruits ( Logan and bananas ) free of charge . It’s beautifully decorated too . However outside the hotel is a very different world - old town itself has lots of very old shops , English speakers might find it challenging to read the Thai words on some signages . The road outside hotel wasn’t as pedestrians friendly .

I had a room that both door and window overlooked interior courtyards, which meant that it was completely separate from the town making it quiet and restful. It had a couple of quirks -- there was a long list of things not to steal, there was a (very cute) do not disturb/out of room hanger that was always by the room. My room (and presumably each room) had its own router which is both very nice (more reliable) and a bit inconvenient at times (the network in the breakfast area was different, the router was on an outlet that was turned on by putting my key in the key holder so it always took a couple of minutes to start back up when I returned). The location is good. It has the usual local quirks (such as not being able to flush toilet paper). They seem to be still ramping up after the shutdown -- breakfast was buffet for two mornings and order off a menu for the other one.

We loved our 4 day stay here. It was out the door walking distance access to many restaurants, massage and shopping in friendly walking streets. The room was all we needed and clean with a fridge, tea/coffee and safe. The bed comfy and the pool an inviting oasis to cool off quickly, not something to be expected for the cost. Common areas were inviting, clean and we had good access to both hot and cold drinking water. The best part was the amazing staff who helped us with everything including arranging for our bus to chang rai while we were away on an all day excursion AND paying for it out of pocket themselves until we returned since it had to be booked asap and paid for immediately. Can't recommend enough! excellent english spoken by the staff we encountered. Not enough good things to say about who I learned had only been working there a month! They train staff well.

Dit hotel ligt in een rustig straatje midden in het centrum. Ruime kamers voor een goede prijs. Ook nog een eigen zwembadje bij het hotel. Het is verplicht je schoenen uit te doen en in een kast op te bergen als je het hotel betreedt. Het ontbijt is in het 50 meter verder gelegen uiterst luxe (zuster) Chala 6 hotel.
