Hotels near Tha Sala, Chiang Mai

"I recently had the pleasure of staying at Pillow Boutique Hotel and wanted to share my thoughts on the experience. Pros: • Spacious Room: The room was impressively spacious, providing ample space to relax and unwind. It was well-furnished and comfortable, making my stay enjoyable. • Decent Breakfast Buffet: The breakfast buffet offered a variety of options, catering to different tastes. It was a good start to my day and provided enough choices to keep meals interesting. • Daily Cleaning and Towel Changes: I appreciated the daily cleaning service and the regular changing of towels. This attention to cleanliness contributed to a pleasant stay. • Bright Atmosphere: Both the hotel room and corridors were bright and welcoming, enhancing the overall ambiance of the hotel. Cons: • Location: The hotel is somewhat far from the main city, which made getting around a bit more challenging. • Grab Drivers: There were occasions when Grab drivers had difficulty locating the hotel, adding to the inconvenience of transportation. Overall, while the hotel provided a comfortable and pleasant stay, the location could be improved for easier access to the city’s attractions. I would recommend this hotel for those who prioritize spacious accommodations and a pleasant atmosphere, but it’s worth considering the distance from the main city when planning your visit."

"This hotel is amazing! Every time I visit Chiang Mai, I stay here. It has everything I need, especially the rubber tile flooring – it's so comfortable even sleeping on the floor."

"Excellent! I had a great stay at Asia Hotel Group Poonpetch. The cleaning service here is absolutely the best—they clean the room every single day. The room itself was very spacious, and it featured the biggest bed I have ever slept in! While the location is a bit outside the standard tour pickup radius and feels a little isolated, it wasn't a major issue. The hotel restaurant features live music, which brings a really good vibe to the evenings. The hotel reception does not offer car rentals or tour packages, but other than that, everything was perfectly okay. Overall, it is fantastic value for money."

"This is my second stay here, and I'm still impressed with the service and the hotel's atmosphere. The rooms are perfect for modern travelers, with plenty of power outlets so you don't have to worry about charging your devices. The facilities are good overall. The location might be a bit far from the city center, but you gain peace and quiet. I'm confident that on my future trips to Chiang Mai, this will definitely be my first choice for accommodation."

"The hotel is located on the east side of Chiang Mai away from urban area. There's not many shops and restaurants there. Better owns some vehicles to ease travelling. Breakfast only contains breads, congee and some random food which sucks."

"🏨 Room The room was more spacious than I expected, and the decor was quite nice. Overall, it was a comfortable stay. I encountered two minor issues during my stay: first, the hot water wasn't hot enough, and second, the shower drain was a bit slow. After contacting the hotel, the staff came quickly to resolve both issues. So, even though there were a few small problems with the facilities, the responsiveness of the service is definitely commendable. There was one thing that surprised me a bit 😂 Since it's a Japanese-style hotel, I expected to find a washlet (bidet toilet seat), but there wasn't one! A small disappointment, haha. 📍 Location & Surroundings The hotel is not located within the Old City; it's a few kilometers away. So, if you like to walk around the Old City or night markets directly from your hotel in the evening, this location might not be ideal. However, we mostly used Grab for transportation, and it worked out fine. Taxis were quite convenient. The hotel's surrounding amenities are actually quite good: • There's a Lotus chain supermarket nearby, which is convenient for buying water, drinks, snacks, Thai seasonings, and souvenirs. • Massage shops are close by. • There's also a laundry room. Here's a little laundry tip 👇 You can give a small tip to the staff at the laundry room and ask them to transfer your washed clothes to the dryer. This way, you don't have to make a separate trip just to switch to the dryer, which really saves a lot of hassle when traveling. 🚐 Joining day tours Before booking the hotel, I was quite concerned about this. Because the hotel is some distance from the Old City, I thought it might be outside the free pickup/drop-off zone for day tours, based on some tour descriptions. But we actually asked the several day tours we joined, and they all confirmed that free pickup and drop-off at this hotel were possible, so it didn't cause any issues in reality. ✨ Summary Pros: Spacious room, good value for money, quick service response, convenient surrounding amenities, and no issues with day tour pickups. Cons: A bit far from the Old City, not suitable for those who particularly enjoy strolling through the Old City directly from the hotel in the evenings; also, some of the room facilities weren't as ”Japanese-style” as imagined. If your Chiang Mai itinerary is similar to ours – day tours during the day and mostly using Grab for other transportation – then I think staying here is perfectly fine. Overall, I'm quite satisfied. PS: I forgot to take photos of the room, but the lobby and garden are quite nice, and the pool is outdoors."

"A very satisfying stay! The hotel's design perfectly complements its wellness theme, and the garden has a peaceful and calming ambiance. The cafe food is delicious, and the coffee is great! The room is very comfortable, with a small sofa and a window bay area perfect for chatting and relaxing. Every evening, they bring a thermos filled with a herbal drink, which is a lovely and thoughtful touch! The hot water system in the room was a bit tricky to figure out, but the staff were very enthusiastic and helpful in resolving it. The gym is well-equipped with plenty of space, making it comfortable to work out. The hotel offers various experience classes, but unfortunately, my schedule didn't align with them!"

"The room is simple but clean and the service is very good. It is best to rent a motorcycle by yourself, otherwise the transportation cost is very high. We have lived for many days. After playing around, we will stay in Chiang Mai or live here."

"I had a wonderful two-night stay at Mövenpick Suriwongse Chiang Mai. The breakfast was excellent with a great of options! Also, they have a free chocolate fondue time around 16:00-17:00 pm. I had an amazing stay and would love return the next time I'm in Chiang Mai. Highly recommended!"

"Nice staff, old hotel but well maintained, good location, many restaurants and mini store around. Also next to a local market. Enough car parking fit for self driving. Breakfast had many choices and good taste… Good value to stay."
