Polite and helpful staff - good value”

This is my second time at Tarin Hotel. The first time, it was arranged by conference organiser. I stayed there for 7 days. I love it. So I decided to go again and this time for 2 overnights. Hotel is situated on a highway and the area is not very close to town but it is easily accessible by song teaw (red buses). The hotel staff are very polite and helpful. Surprisingly, they all speak English well which is the most important to be able to communicate. Rooms are decorated well and spacious enough for the price you pay. The only thing is there are no additional sockets available to charge your notebooks, mobile and other accessories. If you want to charge, then you will need to unplug either the TV or the fridge. But it was not a problem to me. The hotel restaurant caters Thai and Chinese cuisines and it is not very expensive. I booked it through agoda. Drop in rates is a bit expensive compared to the rates of agoda. With that price, the room is very reasonable and would say cheap! Had wonderful time. Will be there again and again for sure.

lovely hotel, great staff”

Excellent stay at the Tarin, it is a bit outside the town but that is the only negative, the staff were so friendly and helpful. The breakfast was really good every morning and the rooms were fab.

We will return”

Please don't read the end of this report as being too derogatory, the comments are there to hopefully give the management an opportunity to act. I have stayed in a few Chiang Mai Hotels, but this is the only one that I will definitely use again. It's location was perfect for me. Room was spotless, restaurant served good food - not expensive. Staff were helpful. Generally, it was hard to find fault, but of course, I did: Room: Not enough plug sockets, and those that there were were only 2 pin. Modern appliances such as my laptop has 3 appliances. Not the first time I've experienced this, so I carry an adapter. Wi-Fi was shocking. Would not stay connected for more than 1 minute. I had to refer to my mobile hotspot. Pool Area: No protection from the Thai sun - a few umbrellas would be useful. The pool is plastic, which includes the ladder. For an overweight person such as me, this is dangerous as the ladder twists and turns as you use it. Ran out of space...............

Old hotel with simple breakfast”

Easy to find Tarin hotel from far away, because the hotel is located near the main road. The building is old but the room was clean. The day I stayed, there's a construction site near and it made noise from 8 A.M. all day long. The breakfast was simple. There were Chinese, Thai and western meal to have.

Safe, clean and easy to find ”

tarin is a newer (in comparison)hotel. the concrete walls are not sound proofed. clean and safe and easy to find but west of the city but close. if you need to be west of cm, this is a fairly good deal if discounted. beds are stiff. i speak thai so it's easy for me to stay anywhere and get what i want..

Free upgrade, surprising location”

We were a group of 10 people of mixed ages traveling together .We stayed for 4 nights in the Junior Suite plus extra bed and 3 twin rooms. We phoned a month before to ask if we could have all the rooms clean together.When we arrived the staff informed us they had upgraded the 3 twin rooms to the Junior Suite deluxe floor.The rooms were terrific-spacious and clean and all together.The breakfast room was certainly well attended each morning we were there.The breakfast provided was a large buffet and more than adequate.There were some roadworks going n outside but we were able to access the car park n front of the hotel easily.There is an additional car park across the road .We were surprised to find that we were located almost next door to the Maya Shopping Centre- a center full of restaurants,shops and the well known Rimping Supermarket.

Value for money”

I liked the hotel staff's friendliness and the room was great. Room was very spacious and well kept. Nearby the hotel there is a Karaoke joint, IF you are a heavy sleeper it should not disturb you. The breakfast has limited choices to the buffet and the taste is not like some other hotels. I think the breakfast has room for improvement. Overall its value for money staying at this hotel.

Fine hotel and great location”

The hotel is located near downtown Chiang Mai. Friendly staff service with smile. Surrounded with many shopping areas and restaurants.

Excellent Hotel”

Enjoyed our 3 night stay, wish we had gone there before. The hotel was a little old in appearance inside, but everything was great for the money and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The only real drawback was the internet in the room, which was a little unreliable. The food was nice and certainly for Asian tastes but a little limited for Western styles. The hotel is excellent value for money and we would certainly go back again.

ok hotel”

Had a fine 5 day stay at Tarin hotel. Frendly staff...close to shopping center and 7 eleven.. lot of local foodstalls outside hotel.. wifi internet was weak and slow at my room. At all value for money hotel...

Friendly & efficient.”

The hotel is clean, friendly & efficient. It offers all you need for business or pleasure stay in Chiang Mai. Good value for money.

Good Business Hotel”

The hotel is a good value for the money and includes the breakfast buffet which has a wide variety of foods both western and thai. The hotel is clean and the staff is great and helpful. The entire hotel needs to be updated and remodeled. Although the rooms were generally clean, the bathroom was in need of repair, I change the first room due to leaking pipe in the bathroom. The other bathroom appeared to have mildew around the top edges of the tile and on ceiling, which i would not expect from this hotel. A good steam cleaning, fresh paint and new decor would make this a very good hotel. Otherwise the stay was enjoyable.

Good location with basic facilities”

Tarin hotel has good location but its facilities are quite old. If compares to the price, it's can be acceptable. The breakfast is at the average, the room is wide but rather old.

Good location, breakfast and staff. ”

I have spent 3 nights for my business trip. The hotel room is old but clean. Great location near Maya and One Nimman. Good breakfast with various choices included northern style foods. Friendly staff and good information for local attraction and nice coffee place not far from the hotel.

Parking,Pool and location”

This hotel is located 2 minutes walk from the newly opened Maya shopping center.The hotel itself is very comfortable and seemed to be well used for the 4 nights we stayed. The breakfast is a large buffet and the restaurant is open for meals during the day and night.The pool area is small but adequate if you need to take a dip in the hotter weather.

Great location on the Super Highway”

The staff are very efficient and helpful. We had one of the fastest checkin process ever. The location is very convenient for when we have yo do business in Chiang Mai.

Great hotel with a good service”

everything is good but air conditioned. the environtment is good. This hotel has a good location. it is in the center of the city. IT easy to go to shopping mall, restaurant, coffee shop and Doi Suthep. This hotel is also have a good service, everybody smile, say politely, and beautiful uniform. This hotel uniform made me feel comfortable and relax.

If you're looking for budget this is a great place!”

I enjoyed my time at the Tarin. It is old and needing a LOT of upkeep. But, knowing it was a budget place I can't really complain. It is so close to many places, which was excellent for me. The breakfast was very average and hardly worth the effort. Even though we were on a non-smoking floor people still smoked, mainly in the stairwell which was right beside our room. I would come back simply because of it's location.

Excellent value”

The hotel is well placed for sightseeing although the traffic outside it is bad at rush hour.The service is excellent and the outstanding feature is the value for money. Our only negative comment was that the bathroom taps are old and need servicing, being very, very difficult to turn off. We thoroughly recommend this hotel.

Nice hotel, bad location”

i enjoyed my stay here overall, but i didn't like the location so much. on the map, it doesn't look very far from hotels like furama, but in reality, the road that the hotel is on is very busy and cannot be crossed except at intersections. the road is not very pleasant to walk on, so it felt much further from the mall than a place like furama. also, this place has a pool, but it's very small, and didn't seem particularly clean. overall, though, for the money, it's a pretty good value.
