"If you want somewhere basic and well located in Chiangmai old town, this is the place for you. Staff were so friendly and helpful and the hotel is in a lovely area walking distance from lovely shops and places to eat and book other excursions. My only complaint would be that the room was quite basic, there was a lot of noise from other AC generators (despite the one in our room being turned off whilst we tried to sleep) and the shower was not hot. But for the price you can’t complain! I would...

iThaphae Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I highly recommend this hotel! If I could give it 6 stars I would! The rooms were super clean, cleaning staff would come anytime you needed, day or night, and the decor was modern and nice. The pool was nice and the staff was wonderful, always friendly and helpful. The highlight of our mornings was the amazing breakfast, we always ate too much and looked forward to trying new dishes and cakes! I would definately stay here again!"
