Where to stay in Chiang Mai Province
Chiang Mai Province hotels & accommodations

I have stayed at many hotels in Chiang Mai on business trips. This one was by far the best in the downtown area near the Night Bazaar. For me, location is very important in Chiang Mai. This is the best hotel in the location if you want luxury at a good value. The food here was very good also. This was our first time taking young children with us to Chiang Mai...

We especially enjoyed this hotel, as it felt smaller and personal than some "boutique" hotels in Chiang Mai. The location is good, even though it is slightly outside of the old city. (If you use Grab for taxis, you can have a super easy/affordable time visiting any part of Chiang Mai!) There are some nice shops and cafes nearby, and it's not difficult to walk into the ...

It was hard to find a hotel which accommodate 4 people before going chiang mai. U Nimma Chiang Mai was only one options I can choice and it has been found that it is the best hotel in chiang mai since gool locations and reasonable price ( considering facilites) and kind staffs as well. but if you have plan to enjoy swimming pool you will be a bit disappointed due to ...

Thank you Chala No 6 for a fantastic stay in Chiang Mai. The hotel is not only well located in the old city , it also has a team of wonderful staff - from the front desk to the cleaning team. The front desk staff , in particular , Ms Cartoon (front desk assistant manager) is an exemplary example of traditional Thai hospitality. Despite a very frustrating experience wit...

Ran into some minor issue like door lock and a Jacuzzi part that fell off probably because the hotel is over 8 years old and starting to show its age (but staff were quick and courteous in fixing anything that went wrong). There were also some ants at the sink, so some spraying might be needed. But other than those minor issues, this place was very impressive. The...

we live in dubai but we travel to chiang mai at least once a month as our children study in boarding school in chiang mai. we stay in many many highend places in chiang mai which were really nice and pricey. after we found "lotus pang suan kaew chiang mai" and stay here, it's just right about the location, safety, service and the hotel offer all guests free pick up fro...

From the moment we arrived at the Shangri-la in Chiang Mai we were made to feel at home. The staff greeted us, showed us to our room & spent the next two weeks treating us like family. I use the term family in the most sincere & respectful way. We booked ourselves into the horizon club & what we got was to say the least a very pleasant surprise, a sumptuous lounge to c...

In July 2011 I went to Thailand with my family, 2 adults & 2 children (5 & 12 years old. For our 6 day stay In Chiang Mai we chose the Raming Lodge based on the very positive reviews on Agoda. The positive rating of this hotel turned out to be well deserved & the hotel was even better than expected. The Raming lodge was one of the best hotels of our Thailand trip. W...

we arrived late at night to panviman and we regret that we only had 12 hours of stay in this extremely beautiful hotel. first, our room, even though we had to walk up 4 floors, we were happy and was amazed by the room and its facilities. however the best comes in the morning when we took a walk around. the breakfast was great and the outdoor workout facility is very ni...

The hotel is very much close to Chiang Mai Night Bazaare where you can find good stuff for shopping... even though it close to shopping area but it is not that close so that you are still able to enjoy your privacy... the hotel situates close in the inner city so that if you drive a car overthere, you need to plan ahead due to Chiang Mai traffic sometimes gives you a h...

The Kokotel is located a few km from the Chiang mai airport, making it a great start point in Chiang mai. Upon arrival to the airport you will be swarmed by taxis, all hoping to take you to your hotel. If you don't have much baggage, I recommend crossing the road and walking a block north to the nearest gas station. From there you can get a grab-taxi for 60 baht to ko...

This big hotel has 17 floors and it is quite modern and luxurious. The rooms are way bigger than is normal in hotels in Chiang Mai. Our room on the 16th floor had a great view, and was just one floor below the rooftop where there is also a pool. There is another pool and a small gym on the 5th floor. There are some restaurants in the hotel, and two on the rooftop, of w...

We stayed at De Naga hotel a few days ago. We were in a deluxe double and the room was very presentable in traditional thai style, with modern fixtures and a nicely tiled bathroom. The hotel is in a really good central location, right next to Tha Pae gate. There are always tuk tuks and red trucks to take you around outside the hotel. One of the main things we rea...

We stayed at BED Nimman for 2 nights in early June at the recommendation of a friend and we couldn’t have picked a better place. The rooms and lobby are clean and modern and the extra touches make you feel very appreciated (free water that you can grab as needed, a lot of other hotels in Thailand had limits to a couple of bottles a day), the daily breakfast was also th...

We had stayed at At Pingnakorn Nimman before and this time in Chiang Mai we wanted to stay at their new hotel HuayKaew! We had three rooms and I must say that this is the best place to stay in Chiang Mai! New hotel, really nice design, big rooms with really spacious bathrooms. The pool and restaurant have a great atmosphere. Breakfast is Thai buffet - clean food! We wa...

The best thing about the hotel is the space the room provides.It has a separate living area, kitchenette and dining table. The room felt cozy and we loved it. It is modern, chic and nicely decorated. Cons-- the bed was too hard for me, the pillow was not fluffy and the area of hotel is in the airplane path so now and then you hea...

Can not say anything negative about this little gem of a hotel in Chiang Mai. Hotel is new, and staff are more than accommodating and exceptionally friendly. Hotel restaurant dishes also quite tasty. Location is convenient, not far from west gate inside Chiang Mai Old City. Will definitely consider staying at this one again next time in CM. Only slight drawback would b...

There are plenty of cheaper places in Chiang Mai but that is not to say that Roseate was expensive. I found the hotel to be great value for money based on the above average standard and facilities. The room was a really good size so we could spread our stuff out and not literally have to live out of our rucksacks, also room service and fresh towels every day. In term...

This modern clean hotel and residence is an all suite hotel, great for both long and short term stays in Chiang Mai. It is located in the trendy Nimman area, near the University, but is a short drive from the sights, both in and out of town. While the airport is nearby (and the planes fly overhead) the rooms are quiet and comfortable. We had to use the communal iron...

The room was very spacious for three pax, we had a lot of space for luggage and the toilet is huge with a big bathtub. The sink is outside the toilet, which is very convenient for travelers like us (we traveled as a group of three friends) and we could access the sink even when one of us showered. The floor to ceiling window opened up to a beautiful silhouette of the C...

Impressive design and service. Great location by the ping river and reflects the term of "sanctuary" claimed by the hotel. (own vehicle required to move around). Breakfast was one of the best we ever had with great selections - local and international, served by a la carte menu style (doubt if it will be too busy and slow in peak season) . Will recommend to anyone (alr...

I have stayed here during my Songran trip in Chiang Mai (13-15 Apr 17). Overall service is quite impressive and beyond our expectation a lot. Nice & welcome staffs always showed their willing to help us arranging things we might need and also gave us some useful advice about tourist attraction spot should not miss. The room (I chose Deluxe room) is new, clean, comfort...

This place was my favorite of all the hotels/air bnb’s I’ve hopped around in Chiang Mai. The room is minimally furnished, but has a desk and a place to put your things. The bed is the most comfortable I’ve slept on in Thailand, and the sheets are super soft. The breakfast was surprisingly good, with a choice of breads, salad, skewered pork, fried chicken, noodles, cong...

Canadian couple late 20s working remotely in Chiang Mai. Grand Deluxe room was spacious and clean. Epic floor to ceiling windows which roll open completely. Fast internet. Very good location, close walk to all Nimman's trendy cafes, restaurants, and shopping. Easy taxi to Old Town.

Amazing place. I walked in and felt like I was in a different world. Everything is meticulously designed and maintained. I love the concept of a vegetarian retreat too; for once, I didn't have to worry about any of the food ingredients. The food was also delicious! All the staff were really friendly and went out of their way to make our stay the best possible. I high...

A lovely hotel set off a busy soi in Chiang Mai. The room was large and well appointed and the grounds were peaceful. Two small swimming pools are ideal for cooling off, though in "winter" it's a touch chilly to use them . Breakfast is very basic and not the best quality and we opted to eat out after the first morning in the numerous nearby cafes and restaurants. It wa...

Tamarind Village was highly recommended by friends, as was booking the Lanna Deluxe rooms for additional space and light. However, the twin bedded rooms are not much bigger than the regular Lanna rooms, book a double with King sized bed for up to 50% more space! I questioned the room sizes with the staff towards the end of my stay and could have chosen an alternate roo...

It would have been perfect if their Breakfast was at the 5 star standard. Only two issues: 1. No instant coffee in the room nor coffee machine - only two brochures per day which we can order from coffee shop which opens 6 am. No brochures, have to pay 140 Baht for a cup of Latte. Either put instant coffee in the room or coffee machine as same as other 4 star hotels. R...

The Art Mai Gallery Nimman Hotel is located a block from Nimmanhaemin Road in Chiang Mai, a short drive from the airport. The area features many restaurants and shops. The Maya Shopping Center is a short walk away. Our room at the third floor, which featured Pop Art, was compact but adequately sized and very comfortable. The bathroom was well designed and relativel...
Cheap places to stay in Chiang Mai Province

Out of all the hostels I've stayed at in Asia, Monkey Toe is easily my favorite. Offering great value for the price. The common room area is large, making it easy to meet other travelers. The pool table is in great shape, along with the huge refrigerator you can use to keep your drinks cold. The owners keep coffee and snacks out all day. The rooms are great, with a cap...

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 10 nights in the private room. It was clean, quiet, and great value. The location is a convenient location with restaurants and bars just around the corner. The owners are lovely and so helpful. I definitely recommend staying here if you are in chiang Mai.

5 minutes walking distance from the night market which is super nice. Far away from the bus station tho (to consider if you want to take the bus to Pai or Chiang Rai at some point). The owner was very friendly and helpful. The dorm were very clean and quiet and the bed cozy and comfy. Would definitely recommend!

I stayed in this hotel for five days to maximize my stay in Chiang Mai. The best thing about this hotel is the landlady and her staff who are all polite and easy to deal with. Coming from a stressful trip, she allowed me to check in early ( I emailed her a day before). There are no elevators and I was assigned in the 4th floor so i guess this is something that oth...

I've stayed in many hostels in my time, smelt some bad smells and experienced uncomfortable rooms but nothing has come close to the 'kozy hostel'. There is a lingering smell of sewage, the rooms are tiny with 12 people crammed in, we booked an aircon room and were put into a fan room. I don't want to sound like a snob I've stayed in fan rooms before but there was 0 cir...

This hostel was cleaned from top to bottom every single day. The sheets were replaced and cleaned every day. The showers, bathrooms, and floors were cleaned every day. I can't tell you how awesome that is. Cleanest place I've stayed. Wifi worked fine. The owners were amazing. I stayed there for a week relaxing and taking it easy after a motorbike injury to my leg. Bt...

I really enjoyed my stay here, the owner and her husband is running this place and they are so awesome! I stayed here multiple times when travelling through Chiang Mai, extended every time. Maybe not the best place if you are looking to meet other travellers as they don't have much of a common area or any social events. They helped me rent a good cheap motorbike for...

I stayed here for a short stopover in chiang mai and it was perfect for me. The new owners are very friendly and helped me catch a taxi to the airport the next day, at a local price. The location is very convenient - lots of cafes, massage places, and shops nearby. The room was basic but a great value for the cost!

-Great Location, no traffic noise at night -Stayed in a mixed dorm, majority of the guest staying here are male, but everyone was polite & friendly -It's quite a "social" place, if you prefer to meet up or hang out with other travelers, this is a suitable place -There are lockers inside the room where you can put your belongings inside -Air-condition is working well a...

I booked for 2 night ended up almost staying a week. The hostel is near all the nice things. The owners are really friendly and helped me out when I needed help! What I really like about the room is that you have your own cabin, and a locket for you whole backpack! If I ever come back to Chiang Mai I would stay here again.

Mike, the guy managing A Little Bird 2 Guesthouse, knows what customer service is. He allowed me to check in early at 8 am without any hassle, told me about the facilities at the guesthouse (complimentary coffee!) and gave me a map of Chiang Mai, that had nearby landmarks highlighted, before I had even asked for it. He was always very eager to help and ever so cheerful...

We stayed in two guest houses in Chiang Mai before we got here and we wanted to stay in the city 3 more days just to stay here. The place is extremely well equipped and besides all the basics you get mosquito nets in each bed, free coffee, tea or water, you can rent scooters and tours, in fact people that don't stay there come to get the tours because they are so well ...

This has to be one of the most welcoming hostels I have stayed in a long time. Its an a quiet neighbourhood and not suited for partying hard here, to chill out and have a chat in a homely feel hostel is the vibe here. The staff do an amazing job and will do whatever they can to make your stay in Chiang Mai enjoyable and memorable. The room was comfortable and no compl...

Had a wonderful stay at Mr Jack location is great being just outside the city gate, not too noisy but a stone throw away from the din of town centre! People are their greatest strong point with a cosy atmosphere and very friendly people! Information can also be easily obtain from the owner Gary and Rain can't have a better experience I would say great choice if ure up ...

If you want to closely encounter some of the tropical traveller's worst enemies then don't hesitate to book this hostel! Bed bugs, mosquitoes, weird insects... you'll find them all there in your bed, the tiny bedroom, the showers and toilets... After two days in the hostel I started getting a huge and itchy rash on my back and other parts of my body. I didn't want to a...

My stay was great! I got in early to Chiang Mai and they let me move in at 9:30 AM! The staff was eager to book me tours or give me advice. I was even offered a volunteer job in a village for the weekend but had to sadly decline due to prior plans. The first couple days here I had the 8 person dorm room all to myself. It was nice but I prefer meeting other people hence...

I stayed there for a whole week after noticing the advantages of this place. Most of all I enjoyed the talks with the owners who - besides that - never hesitate to give great and helpful advice or hints to activities and facilities etc. Moreover this is a perfect place for solo travellers because you can meet lots of other travellers all day long in the nice entrance a...

This is probably the best neighborhood in Chiang Mai. And I'm Chiang Mai native. This small boutique hotel is located in a way less touristic area of Chiang mai but is still in a short-strolling distance to Chiang Mai main spots like the waroros market, night bazaar, Ta Pae gate and etc. There are lots of cafes, eateries, art galleries, and boutiques nearby. The hotel ...

This was our second visit to Chiang Mai in last two years, both time staying at Chiang Mai Plaza Hotel because of its ideal location to Old City and Night Bazaar. We compared quality of service and accommodation, and concluded that we will come again to this hotel in the near future because of consistently demonstrated quality of service and convenient location. Their ...

It is a hidden gem in the old town of Chiang Mai. We stayed at the superior room with a small garden outside the room. The garden is tiny but we think its a nice touch and cute. Helpful staff and breakfast is the best Thai meal we have had in Chiang Mai! Choose the Thai fried rice and you won't regret. Room is comfortably spacious and bathroom is clean and neat. A...

i have stayed at different hotels in chiang mai and they all fulfills different needs. this hotel is in the middle of old town - close to everything. walking distance. it is new which normally, as in this case, means fresch. my room was nice and on ground level-perfect and close to pool. this is my first hotel in chiang mai with good internet. i missed exersice facitli...

i've been coming back to this hotel year after year. i'd have to say this is one of the best hotels in chiang mai, the staff really go out of their way to make you feel at home. the food is great, the service is great. there's even avis in the hotel if u need to rent a car. its location near the night bazaar and restaurants is great coz transportation is not that easy ...

I love this hotel. Three of us stayed at this hotel the night before our trek in Chiang Mai. We chose this hotel because it was close to the airport and got good reviews. When we checked in, there was some miscommunication and one of our friends didn't book a room. Even though the hotel was quite full, the super friendly staff quickly found a room for him, and with...

Definitely the best in Chiang Mai! We tried 3 different hotels in Chiang Mai, and sent the "honeymoon couple" request at booking. The Rim is the one which really makes our stay special: upgrade to deluxe room, quite corner location, 2 free drinks at pool bar(colorful & good-taste!) and a B5 size honeymoon chocolate cake surprise when we had our 1st breakfast!!! The b...

The purpose of this journey is the celebration for my boyfriend's birthday and it was our first time to go Chiang Mai and Aruntara. Aruntara offered a free birthday cake to my boyfriend. Besides, I asked them about "balloon decoration" inside our room. They were helpful to provide the information and options to me. (Of course, I asked before my trip began) On that day...

We have stayed in several hotels in Chiang Mai over recent years and this is by far the best experience. The buildings are of traditional design with lovely grounds, surrounded by very mature trees. It's easy to imagine that you are in a forest rather than in the middle of a city, a real oasis of calm. The rooms are splendid, with hand painted scenes on the walls. It h...

Chiang Mai can get real expensive during the high season, but this hotel is one of the rare finds when you're not looking to bunk with strangers in a hostel. Located a bit outside the city center, you can definitely find all you need for a good night sleep. The staffs are super friendly, rooms are clean, and the location is peaceful and quiet. There were a few flaws ...

This was a great find for us. We have stayed in Chiang Mai before in a similar location, but the Suriwongse Hotel is great value for money. The accommodation is excellent! We were upgraded to a Suite on the sixth floor which was very well appointed, comfortable and the room service, just great. The location, right in the middle of the night markets and within easy w...

Although I travel a lot, the Rachamankha is easily the best hotel I have stayed at in Thailand, and perhaps anywhere. I lived in Thailand for over a year so am familiar with Thai service and food, but the Rachamankha topped any experience yet. The owner is apparently a Thai architect who has restored the building carefully, and who uses the hotel and the gallery to...

I stayed at De Chai the deco for 3 nights. I have to say that this is the best De Chai compared to the other De Chai hotels in Chiang Mai that I have stayed in. The staff speaks very good english and are always providing advice on where to go, and how much the fares should be. When we bought some apples from the open air market and tried to borrow a bread knife from...

We are regular visitors of this hotel. We go to Chiangmai once every 2-3 months and we stay here every time. We just feel like home here. Overall ambiance is beautiful and decorations are lovely and in style. Room is spacious with comfy pillows. I would say the traditional breakfast is just the best in Chiangmai.

Simply great. Everything exceeded my expectations. The rooms are super clean, everything works, the pool is wonderful, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the breakfast is extensive. Also, the bed deserves a medal. It's the comfiest thing I've slept on in years. Hands down the best place I stayed at in Chiang Mai, and cheap too! If you're considering Buri Siri, jus...

We had a very pleasant and memorable stay at Nimman Mai Design Hotel and did not regret for a second for choosing this hotel to enjoy our few days in Chiang Mai. Other than the fact that there were some issues with the water heating system, the staff were extremely helpful in assisting us with the situation. The service of the staff was commendable in that they alwa...

It's really a wonderful experience in Na Nirand. We got free upgrade so as to be able to enjoy private pool. My boy was really excited about that. For that, my boy kept telling us he's missing the hotel until we got home. So we definitely would consider Na Nirand if we go to Chiang Mai next time. From the 1st day we checked in hotel to the last dat everything is exc...

I stayed 3 nights in Tamarind Suite. Room was spacious and nice. When I was considering about booking this room, red wall over the bed was quite annoying but in reality it was not a bit.(Red in pics is quite bright than really is) All staffs were very kind and ready to help. Swimming pool in roof top was not huge but big enough to relive stress and enjoy sunlight of ...

Chedi Chiang Mai was a very positive experience for me. A friend of a friend recommended it and I became very well impressed. To start the staff exceeded my expectations from the moment I've stepped in the hotel. I let them know previously that I would be check in late and when I arrived they not only were waiting for me but also had upgraded my room to a more luxury...

the hotel is about a 1 hour drive away from chiang mai, we paid baht one way for a normal taxi. the location is perfectly quiet and idyllic but very remote. so for people who don't like relaxing with a good book and need the action - stay in chiang mai. there are a lot of elephant camps in the vicinity and it's fun to watch them walk by. the hotel has 2 huge pools and ...

We had a short 3 days, 2 nights stay at this hotel. Its worth every penny based on rates on Agoda. The hotel is just like their website and the staff are all very friendly. Based on the rate we booked on Agoda, the staff told us at check in that the breakfast on the last day won't be included and we had to pay extra (it whould have been annoying if we needed the bre...

Today, visitors can wander through its charming streets, where ancient temples stand alongside vibrant markets and contemporary cafes. The spirit of Chiang Mai is palpable, inviting travelers to explore its many facets.
One of the most captivating aspects of Chiang Mai is its unique cultural heritage. The city is home to over 300 temples, each with its own story and architectural style.

The atmosphere in Chiang Mai is infused with a sense of tranquility, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat.

The region's biodiversity is a treasure, with opportunities to engage with elephants at sanctuaries that prioritize their well-being. Whether you're seeking adventure or relaxation, Chiang Mai has something to offer everyone, making it a must-visit destination in Thailand.
When to Experience Chiang Mai's Magic
Timing your visit to Chiang Mai can significantly enhance your experience. The city enjoys a tropical climate, characterized by three distinct seasons: cool, hot, and rainy. The cool season, from November to February, is considered the best time to visit. During this period, temperatures are pleasantly mild, ranging from 15°C to 28°C (59°F to 82°F). This season also coincides with several vibrant festivals, such as the Yi Peng Lantern Festival, where thousands of lanterns illuminate the night sky, creating a magical atmosphere.
As the weather warms up in March and April, temperatures can soar, often exceeding 35°C (95°F). While this is the hot season, it is also a time when the city comes alive with the Songkran Festival, celebrating the Thai New Year with water fights and cultural events. If you can handle the heat, you’ll witness Chiang Mai’s lively spirit during this festive time.
From May to October, the rainy season brings refreshing showers that cool the air, making it an excellent time for those who prefer fewer crowds. While the rain might deter some, the landscapes become lush and vibrant, perfect for nature lovers. Visitors during this time can enjoy the beauty of the countryside and explore the local markets without the hustle and bustle of peak tourist seasons.
Essential Travel Tips for Chiang Mai Adventures
Before setting off on your Chiang Mai adventure, it’s helpful to familiarize yourself with some essential travel tips. Understanding local customs can enhance your experience and show respect for the culture. For instance, when visiting temples, it’s important to dress modestly; this means covering your shoulders and knees. Additionally, removing your shoes before entering a temple is a sign of respect. A simple smile and a “Sawasdee ka/krub” (hello) can go a long way in making connections with the friendly locals.
Language can also be a barrier, but learning a few basic Thai phrases can enrich your interactions. Simple words like “khob khun ka/krub” (thank you) and “chai” (yes) can endear you to the locals. While many people in Chiang Mai speak English, especially in tourist areas, making an effort to communicate in Thai is often appreciated.
Transportation in Chiang Mai is relatively straightforward. The city is known for its affordable tuk-tuks and songthaews (red trucks), which are convenient for getting around. For those who prefer a more leisurely pace, renting a bicycle is a popular option, allowing you to explore at your own speed. Always negotiate the fare before hopping into a tuk-tuk, and consider downloading local apps for ride-hailing services for added convenience.
