Chang Moi hotels & accommodations

good hotel, but very fast changing prices, so if you know your travel dates booki it for all nights! location is not perfect, by foot aprox 10minutes to central gate, where all life starts, or 60bat by tuk tuk! minus if you are unlucky you'll have a room with balcony where's only window in the room, and even that doesn't open! if you don't mind of ac and book in advan...

We have stayed here a number of times over the past 2 years and are always happy with our stay. The hotel is starting to show signs of wear and tear such as marks on the paintwork and small tears in the wall paper. The air con wasn't working at its best in our room either. The rooms are clean, nicely decorated with good facilities. The staff are welcoming and attentive...

I was a little apprehensive about this hotel as the ratings were just marginal. My checkin was quick and easy. I gave the girl my passport and checked in. I booked a queen room but she nicely explained that they were all booked up and asked if I would take a room with twin beds. The room size was the same and the twin bed was comfortable so I wound up keeping the r...

Hotel is within walking distance of all there is to do in Chaing Mai without being loud so rest is assured. The place is very clean, pool is as nice as pictured and room was large and very comfortable. The best part was Pang at the reception desk. She was awesome! She helped me book tours and even allowed me to use her own cell phone to change a plane reservation. Hot...

If you want an excellent hotel, good pool and very helpful staff, in a quiet location but only a short walk away from the city centre, then the Warehouse hotel is the place to stay in Chang Mai. A brand new hotel, it scores very heavily in my book for the clean and fresh look of the rooms. Jackie, the manageress, and her staff will do anything to make your stay a very...

after trying out a few hotels i came to choose Centro CNX. I booked one night and extended for more than a week immediately and did not regret. for less than 600 baht (Agoda deal) you receive a huge clean room, comfy bed, everything is clean and wonderful. Bathroom with nice shower and awkward flushing toilet (but it does it job). only contra is that the ceiling high i...

The staff here was SO with everything from questions about Yi Peng (they even gave us krathongs for the event), to booking activities, to immaculate housekeeping. The bed was comfy and everything clean. They also give you water and snacks, and you're able to order breakfast from the restaurant next door if you want. I was nervous when I first booked this hotel for my s...

This is the most comfortable place we have stayed during our six month travel tour! Rooms are extremely clean and well decorated, staff and owner very helpful, and the best breakfast ever served in the garden. This place is just a 15 mins. walk into town or a two minute taxi ride. Don't hesitate to book before they raise the prices of this beautiful boutique hotel! ...

We have had an excellent stay. At My Chang Mai. I originally booked it due to the reviews I had read and it didn’t disappoint. We had an adjoining family room over looking the pool. Our rooms were lovely and clean with two big beds, ( as in previous reviews the beds were too hard initially. However the mattresses were changed half way through our stay and are now muc...

This may have been the nicest place I’ve stayed on my travels so far. The room was very clean and comfortable, and the staff was great.

It would have been perfect if the police didn’t hassle so much about tourists on motorbikes. 200 THB bribes re...

We stayed in a double bed dorm room. The beds were big and comfy and had a curtain on them for a bit of privacy. The hostel is very clean, probably the cleanest I've stayed in. It's right by many restaurants and a short walking distance to anything else. The staff were super nice and helped book a visit to the Maerim Elephant Sanctuary. My favorite part was the breakfa...

Nick is owner / proprietor and we never met him but he has built a beautiful place by renovating an old warehouse and converting it to a very comfortable and well run guest house. Only eight ( 8 ) rooms but so efficiently run. Staff people: Nan & Kor & Wee, and the cook/housekeeper all first class. Having traveled in SE Asia since 1967 and over 25 trips in the la...

We loved this hotel so much, by far the best so far on our tour of Asia. Nick and the staff are so friendly and helpful and all speak fluent English. The only downside is if you are on a high floor having to carry all your bags up as there are no elevators, and the hotel isn't quite as close to the main old town as others, but it is definitely worth getting tuk tuks to...

This is our first time in Chiangmai and it was amazing moment for us to stay 4 days-3 nights in this Homestay. Very quiet and clean. Every Conner of this house did have take care and great decoration. Especially, bed , pillow, bkanket are soft and super clean. Owners are very helpful and friendly, I mean warmest! Some snacks, cookies and drinks are free at receptioni...

Buffet Breakfast was fine, fussy kids ate ok. Staff were polite, friendly and helpful, rooms clean. Baht buses and tuk tuk's went past the front of the hotel constantly, we didnt wait more than 5 minutes before we had a ride. Drivers from the old city had no trouble taking us home. Aircons could be a little noisy.

Before we decide on a hotel, we felt that detailed reviews is the most important factor before deciding on an accommodation. We reached the hotel about 0930 hours with airport transfer provided (to & fro) & our room was ready. They have very quick and hassle free check in & check out services. (Please note do give them a call beforehand on the timing you'll reach the...

This hostel was a great place to stay. Breakfast is included with every night that you stay, information surrounding scooter rentals, laundry, and everything else useful to know in the city is readily available on-site. The staff members were incredibly welcoming and the room was also above average. All of the typical room amenities were available but Wi-Fi access was ...

I'm very satisfied with my stay. The room is large, clean, nicely decorated, comfortable and above all still very new. They're very generous to give everything in the minibar for free. Large parking lot. Convenient location near local eateries so I can find foods for dinner and breakfast. Hotel doesn't have a restaurant. The area around hotel is very clean as hotel is ...

The hotel is quite near to the Chiang Mai old city, easy access with red car. An award winning hotel for its special design. As the name called, it is a box. So the room is quite compact and small. It is however able to fit in both of us well enough. We stayed in the room with balcony on second floor. It is nice to stand and view out from the balcony. The room is well...

Firstly, when we arrived "“the hotel” " around 9-10PM, there was no receptionist or some one speaking English so we didn't know how to check in. The tuk tuk driver help us ask the only Thai boy there and explained that the staff are off on Saturday and Sunday at this hotel?!?. It took us 30 minutes to show the Agoda hotel booking confirmation and make that Thai boy und...

Price has gone up 10% and no change in service. A lot of long stay clients and less tourists. Hard to get a booking during the season so good luck with that Bruuns is a bout the same price but newer and smaller rooms with other similar options close by.

We LOVED our stay here. Our hosts were incredibly hospitable. The location is great with a very easy 20 min stroll to the night bazaar. Situated right by the Ping River you can also go for lovely walks along the riverside. I gave the facilities a 4 star, rather than 5 star, simply because of the beds. I do NOT sleep well on very firm beds and this fits this category. ...

More expensive thab other hostels in Chiang Mai but so worth the price! Absolutely everything is new and clean. Best beds so far in Thailand, lovely staff, walking distance to markets and some temples. I paid 334 baht/night and it was worth every penny!

Travel Tips for a Smooth Stay in Chang Moi
To ensure a smooth and enjoyable stay in Chang Moi, it's helpful to be aware of a few travel tips. First and foremost, familiarize yourself with local customs and etiquette. Thai culture places a strong emphasis on respect and politeness, so greeting locals with a friendly smile and a traditional wai (a gesture of respect) can go a long way. When visiting temples, remember to dress modestly, covering your shoulders and knees, as a sign of respect for the sacred spaces.
Safety is another important consideration. Chang Moi is generally a safe neighborhood, but it's always wise to stay vigilant, especially in crowded areas. Keep your belongings secure and be aware of your surroundings. If you're out at night, stick to well-lit areas and consider traveling with a companion. Additionally, having a local SIM card for your phone can be beneficial for navigation and communication, making it easier to access maps and contact accommodations if needed.
Lastly, take the time to learn a few basic Thai phrases. While many locals in Chang Moi speak English, making an effort to communicate in Thai can enhance your interactions and show respect for the local culture. Simple phrases like "hello" (sawasdee) and "thank you" (khob khun) can go a long way in fostering positive connections with the community. With these tips in mind, your stay in Chang Moi is sure to be memorable and enjoyable.
