Stay with Nimman Chiang Mai

8/10 Good

"Lots of restaurants, bars and other things (massage, laundry, etc) close by. About 10 mins wall to Maya mall. Breakfast very good with an excellent range of food. Pools were great! Perhaps a little noisy at night on occasions due to proximity to restaurants, bars etc but even as someone who doesn't like noise, it was fine. Well maintained property, great location. Would stay again."

Jomkitti Boutique Hotel

4/10 Poor

"I don’t like leaving negative reviews, but I feel I should share my experience. Unfortunately, this hotel was very basic and did not feel worth the price we paid. The rooms were a bit dated, and the swimming pool felt confined within four walls and wasn’t particularly inviting. There were also very few amenities available—no iron for guests and not even basic utensils that I could borrow to cut and eat some fruit. Overall, the hotel felt very bare-bones. After one night, I decided to check out early and book another hotel at a similar price point, and the difference in quality and overall experience was significant. This may work for travelers looking for a simple place to sleep, but it wasn’t the experience I expected for the rate charged."

Smile Lanna Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed here for 3 nights. The hotel was beautiful! Clean and well maintained. The staff were extraordinarily helpful and kind. The breakfast was a wonderful start each day - they did assist me in having a vegan option too. The pool looked lovely, but I didn’t use it. The rooms were comfortable. My first two nights had a balcony overlooking the pool and it was wonderful. The hotel is walking distance to the old city (be careful crossing the roads to get there). They have a free shuttle to the airport - just be sure to book in advance. Beds are comfortable, showers are fabulous. There is a small gym that I used the treadmill in. Free snacks in reception and your room, and free drinks in your room fridge, along with tea and coffee. Kettle, hairdryer in the room. Really recommend staying here!"
