I had read many reviews prior to my trip and decided to stay at the Empress solely because of the reviews. This hotel was fantastic and I would definitely recommend it to all. The facilities were really nice. The exercise room could use a few more machines, but we managed to work out with the equipment on hand. We were so thankful for the great service at the hotel, including the hotel doctor that we had to call in when our daughter passed out. The daily breakfast buffet was very good. The hotel has wireless internet for a fee and we were happy to have access in our room. The connection was a little weak, but we were able connect and check email. The hotel tour desk was helpful. The in-house taxi service was a little pricey. After a 1 day we figured that local tuk-tuk drivers could get us anywhere in Chiang Mai for a much better price. Overall, we highly recommend this hotel.

| "This is a great hotel to stay. The room was spacious and tasteful, the breakfast was fantastic. Most importantly the staff was courteous and friendly. The hotel facilities such as swimming pool and sauna were wonderful. One minor inconvenience is the lack of safety deposit box in the room. They only have the central safety deposit boxes in the reception. If I return to Chiang Mai I would definitely stay here again. One tip I would like to share, the hotel has its own airport shuttle van which costs less than the taxi. When you arrive at Chiang Mai airport look for a man with an EMPRESS sign. Ask him whether he can give you a lift back to the hotel. It costs 90B for the lift to the hotel which is only 5 km away. When you depart, book for the transport at the reception for 90B. Note that there is also a taxi booking service in the lobby who will charge you 200B. Another tip - go to a book shop in town and get a Nancy Chandler's Chiang Mai map for B180. You will definitely enjoy Chiang Mai much more!

It is a great hotel for the price with a wonderful buffet breakfast and a great 2 for 1 happy hour from 5-8 in the lounge bar. I like the location and the staff in friendly and helpful." |
