"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 breakfast. It offers a lot and changes every day so you never get tired of eating it! Delicious! Definitely recommend for your stay in Chiang Mai!"

"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 room for the whole 6 day stay. Room has a nice flat screen tv with maybe 90 or more channels. Desk with a little chair, ample storage space for clothes, a fridge, a safe, and a hair dyer. Water was hot for the shower and some basic toiletries are provided. 2 bottles of water are provided daily. Plenty of electrical plugs as well. Overall my stay was very pleasant and the room is cleaned daily. Hard to call it a 4 star hotel but maybe a 3.5 It's within walking distance to the old city - only about 10 minutes - and there are usually taxis outside. Parking for cars and motorcycles underneath the hotel. There's a 7-11 close by. Free wifi but like many Asian hotels it doesn't always work so well. Overall I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel - especially with Agoda's low price. Chiangmai is a great place and when I return I will stay here again."

"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. I opted to not stay inside the city walls of Chang mai, which was good and bad... as far as this hotel, you won’t regret it. It would have been perfect if the police didn’t hassle so much about tourists on motorbikes. 200 THB bribes required multiple times a day even after buying the 500THB temp license. I don’t think I’ll be back to Chang Mai, but don’t let that be a poor reflection on this hotel. It’s more of a warning for tourists traveling there."

"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 too. The breakfast is ok, theres a choice of toast, boiled eggs, salad, cereal, noodles, watermelon and sausages. My only gripe here is they do not have 'normal' tea, even when I asked they confirmed they did not have any. A box of Lipton tea bags are cheap and would be great for those of us who don't like green tea. The location is great, within walking distance of the sights within the old town and wararot market. "

The rooms look bigger on the pictures though. For a western couple the bed is probably too small. I would call it 1.5 person bed. Breakfast was good. A small variety to choose from.

"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 airport.) We booked the studio room and it is very spacious with an enormous the washroom. Bigger than expected in the pictures. The kitchenette were equipped with all the utensils completed. We thought that there would be a stove but only came to realised that only a microwave oven available for the studio room. The room has plenty of sockets (both sides of the bed, one near the desk and another one by the mirror). of all hotels/apartments we've been in Thailand, Grand Napat has the most number of sockets available. The service provided is 5 stars for a 3 stars serviced apartment! They have motorbike/car renting service starting from 250baht for the motorbike. (Note: It is not from the hotel but an external company) We rented a bike there and it is quite pricy compared to other places available. They will send and get the bike back from the hotel. (Note: You have to provide a copy of one passport and 3000baht deposit before getting the bike OR a passport for them to hold if you do not want to give any deposit (but at your own risk). We gave one of our passport for a day as we needed the 3000 baht but our passport was returned safely before we proceeded to the airport). Lastly, breakfast was fairly good. There's a beautiful view if you're seated outside & don't worry about the weather its very cooling even seated outside. Also, he location is very central. It takes about 8-10 mins to almost everywhere such as Warorot Market, Night Bazaar, Nimmanhaemin Road, The Arcade Bus Station and the city. I would not hesitate to return to Grand Napat again! Go get your rooms now what you waiting for!"
