Amora Tapae Hotel, Chiang Mai

Breakfast was good but limited selection available. Safe in room should be free.

Nightlife Tip : Close to markets and nightlife.

could use some new carpets, i think it is more like a 3 star hotel i wonder who gives the stars out? hard to find if you dont know chiang mai had to get a tuk tuk to follow to find the place

Breakfast was ok, but the choices were rather limited.

Shopping Tip : Don't miss the Sunday market.

Was under renovation in the lobby during my stay so there was a strong paint odor. Spa could use more selection or packages.

Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : You can rent a "taxi" for about 800-1000 baht per day to take you just about anywhere. Our driver was an excellent help and even my Thai friend agreed. They are delighted to receive a 100 baht tip and will quickly become your friend.

Bed very hard found it hard to get a good sleep. No assistance given with luggage at checkout. Had to carry suitcases downstairs to waiting vehicle. Bathroom light flickered on and off during the night - had to turn off master power switch. Did not receive 2 bottles of water each day. Maid threw away hair clips necessitating a quick dash to the 7 Eleven to purchase more before an evening excursion. Asked for connecting rooms but door unable to be unlocked.

Nothing I can put my finger on. I just didn't feel so welcome here as I did in other hotels in the area. The reception staff had a struggle with speaking english.

Travel tip : Across the road, over the moat, there was a great laundry service.Idon't remember the name but it's obvious and almost directly opposite the hotel. The woman there washes, dries and irons your clothes for 30 bhat per kilo. I wish she would live near me at home!

None

Restaurant Tip : craving a California-style Mexican burrito? check out the Mexican joint down the street which is ran by a California expat and his son.

decoration - should be renovated

Shopping Tip : It's good to stay on Sunday night because it's close to Rajdamneon street (Night shopping street)

There is safety box in the room but we are required to pay extra charges to use it which i think it is quite weird.

Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : It is very close to the Tapae Gate which is one of the entrances to visit the old town of Chiang Mai.

Over priced wifi - didn't always allow for a connection. Charge for room safe. Request you leave room key.

Nightlife Tip : Great location to all that you want to do. Get cab to hotel on the street when returning to airport - half the price. Travel arrangements for tours in lobby very helpful see Mr. Joe

The bed was hard.

Shopping Tip : Used books stores are just around the corner from the hotel.

Bed mattress very hard.

Restaurant Tip : Found several eating areas close by. We had Mexican food and Miguels, Italian food at De Stefanos, Japanese food at Sakuras. All were excellent and would recommend to friends.

They want you to leave the key when you go out. I sort of forgot to do that and no one said anything so it was not a big deal.

Travel tip : I recommend the weekend market at the corner if you happen to be there on a Sat. or Sun. - much nicer items than the very touristy Night Market a few blocks away.

Shopping Tip : Head to the mall, only 30 baht trip in a taxi and explore. Pricing is not much less than the U.S. for clothing, but nice selecitons and great opportunities to save on other items.

Restaurant Tip : Exit building, go left and walk to the first main intersection and cross the steet to the Art Cafe, say hi to Chuck the owner and try the mango pancakes, sauage and eggs with feta cheese. Yum!
