- Clean rooms with daily housekeeping — Numerous guests note the rooms are cleaned every day with fresh linen, and appreciate having a fridge and safe in the room.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Mixed service consistency — While most staff earn praise, a few guests found some employees less friendly, and the service rating is the lowest category at 6.9.
- Value for money could be better — The Value rating sits at 6.5, the joint-lowest alongside Dining, suggesting some guests feel the price doesn't fully match the experience.
- Limited dining options — Dining also rates 6.5, and while breakfast is included, there are no other on-site dining facilities mentioned.
- Small, intimate property — With only 13 rooms, the hotel may feel limited in terms of facilities—no mention of a pool, gym, or other common areas beyond the garden.

7.2Verified guest“The location was excellent, right by the main temple, and the hotel was beautifully decorated. Breakfast was impressive with options like ham and fresh orange juice. Staff were all very friendly and welcoming. It was also conveniently close to Thapae Gate, the old town, and the night bazaar.”
7.2Verified guest“Close to many restaurants, the location was great. Service was excellent, though a couple of staff members weren't as friendly as the rest.”
7.2Verified guest“Impeccably clean and excellent value. The location was absolutely perfect, near enough to a parade route and private garden, and close to downtown Chiang Mai. The room was cleaned daily with fresh linen, and there was a fridge as well. A pleasant stay at this low-cost property.”
7.2Verified guest“Modern touches and cutting-edge design are complemented by timeless hospitality and cool breezes. Thapae Gate and the ancient moat are just down the street. I had a hard time deciding where to relax—each spot was guaranteed to lift my mood.”
7.2Verified guest“We received a warm welcome even though our reservation went missing, and the receptionist made up for it by upgrading us to a Junior Suite for two nights. The room was very clean and comfortable, and we loved the hand-painted wall art of the famous Bodhi tree. The location is convenient for reaching both the old city and the night bazaar. Internet and breakfast are complimentary, and the staff are genuinely caring with good advice for tourists. I would recommend this hotel anytime!”
7.2Verified guest“Great location between the old city and the night bazaar. Quiet. Nice staff.”
