The Experience Walking Street Chiang Mai

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very friendly. Great location to everything in Chiang Mai"

Melia Chiang Mai

10/10 Excellent

"A quiet spot just outside central Chiang Mai, if you want an escape from the hustle and bustle then this is the place for you. The rooms are simply wonderful, with all the extras you need without having to ask. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, no question is too much for them. Cannot recommend this hotel enough, plus the breakfast is amazing (with vegetarian and vegan options) so do not hesitate to include when you book!"

Viangluang Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautiful hotel designed in a traditional thai style located in the center of the old city. The swimming pool is gorgeous and the room was charming and spacious. The breakfast buffet did not have very many options as compared to other thai hotel breakfasts, but the food was delicious and high quality . My only complaint is that late night the hotel allows 2 “working girls” to sit in front of the hotel smoking and drinking beer. They were soliciting me as I entered and exited the hotel. I personally was not offended by that, but it’s probably not appropriate for such a nice hotel to allow that"

Tamarind Village

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tamarind Village for so many reasons: a beautiful lush setting, wonderful friendly staff, and delicious authentic meals. Our room was clean, quiet, and close to the hotel’s amenities, their restaurant, pool, spa, and shop. It was also located perfectly inside the OLD City making walking easily accessible to much the city has to offer. Having stayed in Bangkok for the first part of our vacation, we didn’t feel we really experienced the richness of Thailand’s culture. However, Tamarind Village provided us with many niceties, such as providing tea upon arrival, robe and slippers, a city walk, and cultural pool side offerings. We will definitely recommend this hotel to others and appreciate those who traveled there before us for their glowing recommendations."
