About the hotel: I stayed at the sister hotel,Royal Peninsula last time I came to Chiangmai, and decided to try this one this time, as it was the same price. I was not terribly impressed. There is no restaurant at the hotel - for breakfast, you have to go to the Peninsula (some 300 metres distant) to eat - the hotel does provide free transport. Breakfast there was not terribly impressive, and was lukewarm at best the three days we were at the hotel, and with little choice - even my Thai friend was not impressed with the Thai food. You have to pay to use the single computer in the lobby area, whereas you can show your receipt/breakfast ticket at the Peninsula and use their single computer for free! The worst thing was safety!!!! There was a total blackout for three hours when a power pole outside somewhere collapsed and sent the entire district into darkness for three hours (NOT the fault of the hotel)- but....the emergency exit signs went out also! There is a free flashlight proudly mounted on the wall in each room for emergencies. Our one had an overage battery which had leaked and corroded so was not working. In addition, the emergency exit from the floors is at one extreme end of the building on each floor(we were top floor six), so if you are anywhere from there to the other end and a fire breaks out, you have no way to exit to these stairs!!!! (you can either stay in your room and hope, or jump out of the window and also hope (but you will need wings!!!) Otherwise, the staff were friendly and helpful, but on health and safety alone, I could not recommend.
About the reservation service: Sawadee.com are always fantastic and reliable. In my three years of travelling to Thailand, they have NEVER let me down.
About the hotel: WORST HOTEL FOR ITS PRICE!
The breakfast was sh**!! Everything was hot and warm Thai plates, which isn t pleasant if you don t feel like eating hot thai food in the morning! Our first breakast, we spendt 1 whole hour waiting for ordinary white toast with the fakest jam with other 5-6 guests, coz we don t feel like eating Thai curry with rice at 8AM and they ran out of toast!
Even though you CAN eat warm Thai food, all the food would run out at 9AM, whereas breakfast finishs at 10AM!
The staff was USELESS! Neither that they can t do anything or do NOTHING about any complains at all!
The gym facility is something like 3rd-hand broken machines! The running machine stops when you stand on it! The lifting machine bents forward and FALL down on you if you want to lift more than 10 kg! and that is what their gym consist of!!
It s far from the city centre. No laundry service near by (In the city is about 40THB per KG) whereas the hotel charge 50 THB for a pair of pants and +30THB for ONLY pressing!
Room service has 2 western dishes
1. Pasta Meat Sauce
2. Pasta Cabonara
and basically NOTHING ELSE
No pool, ONE guest computer with VERY slow internet connection, which we bought for 24 hours and was out of function for 8 hours (Between 9AM and 5PM)
The only good thing is we had a really nice and friendly housekeeper, who kept askig if we need anything or wanted extra things free of charge, or else this would have been the biggest shit of my holiday in Chiang Mai!
About the reservation service: Booking service was good and easy to get through to. Also fast reply. No problems at all.
About the hotel: I had wondered about the cheap rates... now I know.
This is a tourist class hotel catering to the frequent bus loads. This I suspect contributed to the well worn dusty rooms, and jaded staff with too much on their hands to provide better service.
Around the area, were sundry wholesalers rather than retailers - definitely not up the tourist s alley.
Will skip it for another hotel if I come back this way.
About the hotel: This is the sister hotel to the Royal Peninsular 200 metres away. However, whilst the bathroom was bigger and not so basic, the appalling smell from bad drains meant it was no place to linger. Even the heavy use of cleaning agents couldn t disguise the bad smell.
Apart from toast there was absolutely nothing available for a western breakfast. We didn t eat anything preferring to get our breakfast from one of the many cafes in Chiang Mai. This place is one to avoid.
About the hotel: conveniently located just outside the city wall, pick up service from airport is also ok, however if you travel with more people, a taxi from the airport is cheaper (120 baht), since they charge 100 baht/person for pick up service. They even have promotion price (due to low season) 700 baht/room.
