Nice and close to everything

The location in nice and quiet, very close to the Thapai gate on a 5 minute walk, also the old city is very close too. Plenty on Hood food places, bars, temples & night markets nearby too. This hotel possibly has the coldest pool in Thailand due to it being permanently under a roof so always in the shade. Only downside I think is the breakfast is quite basic quality, the juice is maybe from concentrate or watered down. I would still definitely stay here again though.

Greaf location & value for money

The hotel is on a quiet street. Within 10 min walk to the Tha Phea old city and nearby night markets. We had a grand deluxe room which was big and clean. Breakfast was decent. Great value for money for a 4-star hotel in a good location.

I've stayed in many hotels (in over 60 plus countries) and de chai colonial is defintely in my top 3. The staff are super helpful and always happy to accommodate my requests. The rooms are clean, the location is convenient and I cannot say enough about the staff- they're lovely and happy to call anywhere for me. I highly recommend this place.

Chiang Mai trip

Good check in, bedroom condition was brilliant, cleanliness was excellent throughout the hotel. Service was just ok, and they didn’t do anything outstanding. Breakfast was underwhelming and fairly limited choice but what they did have was good.

This would be my #1 choice anytime I visit Chiang Mae, the location could not be more perfect. On a quiet side street but just a few minutes walk to be in the heart of everything. You are just minutes walk to the city gate and the main road is gorgeous lit up at night and just teaming with vendors at night when they close it to vehicle traffic. If you do a tour they usually charge extra if you are not inside the old city walls but on all our tours they gave us the free hotel pickup because we were so convenient right where we were. The rooms were so peaceful, the staff just incredible, the location could not have been more perfect and there is a 7-11 handy right at the top of the block. The bedding was perfect, plenty of room, we hated to leave, will definitely be our first choice every time.

Great stay

The De Chai was the perfect place to start our honeymoon. We arrived late due to our plane being a little delayed but the driver from the hotel waited patiently and was very kind. Check in was super fast and easy. Every staff member was kind and helpful. We really felt welcome. Our room was beautiful and clean. The shower and tub were a dream. The bed was really comfortable. We would definitely want to stay here again.

Convenient comfort in Chiang Mai

Lovely hotel and Excellent, quiet location that is still easy walking distance to all the sights. Staff are super friendly and the breakfast has enough variety in case you are staying beyond a few days. The pool is in the bar area, so excellent in case you’d like to enjoy a drink during your swim. I enjoyed a massage at the hotel spa, great service and from a cost perspective also convenient. In case you want to use the gym, their sister hotel around the Corner has one. The rooms are roomy, w both bathrub and shower, and generally a good size. Overall, would stay here again.
