Mercure Chiang Mai
The Mercure Chiang Mai is an absolute steal for the price. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the entire stay, from check-in to checkout. The room is spacious with a very comfortable mattress—perfect for a good night's sleep. I was especially impressed by the free extension of checkout time until 6 PM, just a small fee of 600 THB. It made our departure so stress-free. In my experience, this hotel outshines others in the same category—excellent value, great service, and a relaxing atmosphere. Definitely one of the best choices in Chiang Mai.
Novotel Chiangmai Nimman Journeyhub
This Chiang Mai hotel is an absolute gem! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from Nimman Road and Maya Shopping Center, making it super convenient for dining, shopping, and exploring without needing to worry about transportation. It’s like having the heart of the city right at your doorstep. The ambiance blends effortlessly with classic Southeast Asian charm—lush greenery in the courtyard, spacious and quiet public areas, and a peaceful vibe that instantly relaxes you the moment you step in. The room itself was spotless, thoughtfully designed, and filled with little touches that made the stay feel effortless and comfortable. But the breakfast? Absolutely outstanding. The presentation was beautiful, the toast soft with a rich, toasty flavor, and the coffee was perfectly balanced and smooth. Even the small condiments felt intentional and delicious. Eating by the sunny breakfast area while enjoying the view truly elevated the whole vacation mood. Every aspect—location, atmosphere, food, service—exceeded expectations. If you're looking for comfort, convenience, and great value in Chiang Mai, this is the place to stay. Highly recommended!
Movenpick Suriwongse Hotel Chiang Mai
Staying at Movenpick Suriwongse Hotel Chiang Mai was a real highlight of my trip. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of the city, just a short walk from popular spots like 3-Thai Noodles, Squid Boat Noodle, and Flo Coffee. I loved how convenient everything was: a 7-Eleven and scooter rental shops were literally just 30 meters away, making it easy to explore on my own terms. Tower Gate (Talat Phua) is only a 10-minute stroll, perfect for catching the evening vibe. While the surrounding area is more upscale and quiet compared to bustling local markets, the nearby night market still offers a mix of international flavors—though not deeply rooted in traditional Thai street food. Prices are a bit higher, and it feels more like a Western-friendly food scene than a local favorite. That said, the hotel itself delivers a high level of comfort. The room was spacious, clean, and well-maintained, though the air conditioner did make some noise when running—nothing too disruptive, but worth noting. No view from the window is a small downside, but overall, the excellent location, cozy ambiance, and great service made up for it. Definitely recommend for travelers who value convenience and a peaceful stay in central Chiang Mai.

Tolani Southgate Villa Chiang Mai
This was our first trip to Chiang Mai, and we stayed at Tolani Southgate Villa for six nights with the family. The service here truly exceeded expectations—especially thanks to our amazing host, Nuch. From the moment we arrived, he made everything so easy: arranging rides, recommending authentic local eats, even handling UberEats orders for us.

We were devastated, but Nuch didn’t hesitate—he immediately reached out to local travel agencies, helped track down possible locations, and miraculously got it back! He personally delivered it to our villa the next day. That level of care and dedication left us deeply touched. The housekeeping staff was equally thoughtful—daily breakfast setup and laundry service made our stay so much more comfortable. The villa itself is quiet, clean, and well-appointed, with great access to public transport if you want to explore the city.

While the hotel is a bit outside the main city center, it’s still very accessible. There are plenty of local food options nearby, and getting out to explore other areas is easy. Overall, it's a fantastic choice if you're looking for peace, comfort, and good value. I’d definitely return in a heartbeat.
