Top hotels in Chinatown
Melia Chiang Mai
Great hotel centrally located - great amenities and staff. Good selection for breakfast. If there was only one slight drawback - I felt the pool is slightly small for a hotel of this size.

Centara Riverside Hotel Chiang Mai
The pool was not as pictured, looked to be part of the deck under construction. Advertising Spa but no massage. Seems to be lack of employees. Okay for a quick night stay
