This hotel is basic, but thay is...
This hotel is basic, but thay is in no way a criticism (if you want room service, hotels bars/restaurants/shops and opulent facilities - maybe you want to go somewhere else...?). The room was secure, functional and clean. The reception staff were helpful, despite some mild language barriers. Certainly for the price I cannot object to any aspect of my stay, and wouldn't object to going back there in the future.
The hotel is excellently placed between the old moated town and the river / nightmarket areas, which places it within 10-15 minites walk of most places a visitor to Chiang-Mai could wish to see.
The cafe/eatery opposite the hotels main entrance is also recommended as a quiet, friendly place to eat or grab an early morning coffee (its name eludes me sadly)
Hope this is some help
