Travelodge Nimman
Staying at Travelodge Nimman was an absolute delight—way better than I expected! The room was brand new, spotlessly clean, and surprisingly spacious, especially the bathroom with a well-designed mirror that made me feel like I was in a boutique hotel. No single-use amenities provided (so remember to bring your own slippers), but the cleanliness and attention to detail more than made up for it. The TV is super convenient—it supports YouTube and even lets you browse the web, which is rare in this price range. And the bedside light control? Genius—no need to get out of bed to switch off the lights. Check-in at T2 was seamless: staff helped me ride an electric scooter directly to my building’s entrance and even carried my luggage up—such a thoughtful touch. Check-out was just as easy; each building has its own front desk, so no need to go back to T2. Daily housekeeping is available, but if you don’t want them to come in, just let them know—they’re very polite and always ask if you need water or anything else. The restaurant is located in T3 and is beautifully designed, offering a great mix of breakfast, Chinese, and Western options from 6 to 10 AM. After 10, they gently remind you to wrap things up—very considerate. One highlight: free tuk-tuk bookings to and from Nimman Road are included, and the return tuk-tuk drops off right across from the road—just a quick walk to find. The resort-like campus has so many spots to explore: cozy bars, a barber shop, Japanese dining, hot pot restaurants… It feels like living in a little urban retreat. Honestly, this place exceeded all expectations. I’ll definitely be coming back next time I visit Chiang Mai.

Staying at Km Hotel Chiang Mai was a great experience overall. The room was spacious and very comfortable, with a clean and well-maintained bathroom—definitely a plus.

Still, the hotel offers excellent value for money and is highly recommended for travelers looking for a clean, comfortable stay in a central spot.
Shane Hotel
Staying at Shane Hotel was a great experience overall! The room was a bit on the darker side and slightly humid, but honestly, that didn’t take away from how much I enjoyed my stay.

The location is excellent, just a short walk from downtown and close to all the main attractions. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the place felt clean and well-maintained.

I booked this place specifically to catch the Yi Peng lantern festival, and I couldn’t be happier with the location. Right behind Chiang Mai University’s back gate, it’s super convenient for dining, shopping, and hitting up the nearby night market—everything you need is just a short walk away. While it’s not in the old city area, getting to popular day-trip spots like Maya Mall is still easy—just a 30-minute walk for younger travelers.

Raveevan Hotel at Umong
Staying at Raveevan Hotel at Umong was a mixed experience, but overall not ideal for short visits. If you're planning to stay long-term and don't mind bringing your own essentials, it might work — but for travelers looking for basic hotel amenities, this place falls short. The room is literally the bare minimum I've ever seen: no kettle, only two or three hangers, and almost nothing else. Just a fridge, a TV, and an extremely hard bed. It feels cold, lifeless, and completely devoid of character — more like an empty box than a home away from home. Location-wise, it's near CMU and the night market, but the so-called

I loved the eco-friendly water refill system—just bring your own bottle and refill anytime. Breakfast was excellent value at around 1,200 THB, with a good variety and generous portions. There’s ample parking, which is a big plus if you’re driving. The hotel also thoughtfully provides toys for kids—my little one had a blast playing while we relaxed. And the best part? The ground-floor café is open 24/7—whether it’s late night or early morning, you can grab a coffee or just unwind. Such a thoughtful touch! Highly recommend this hidden gem.

Staying at Fullrich Lanna Suite was a truly peaceful and memorable experience. Nestled at the foot of Doi Suthep, just steps away from Wat Umong, the hotel offers a serene retreat surrounded by lush greenery. Waking up early to walk to the temple, with sunlight filtering through the trees and dancing across the courtyard, was absolutely magical. The hotel’s design is thoughtful and charming—small but perfectly arranged, with spacious and comfortable rooms. I loved the quality of the toiletries and the clean, calming scent throughout the property. Excellent mosquito prevention measures and a safe, quiet environment made me feel completely at ease. The value for money is outstanding. One thing to note: payment is required on-site, cash is preferred, and credit card payments incur a 3% fee. It’s a minor detail, but worth keeping in mind.
