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.

Anantara Chiang Mai Resort

Anantara Chiang Mai Resort is a true classic — the kind of place that feels timeless and effortlessly luxurious. A friend once mentioned that a local hotel in China was inspired by this one, and while that property is good too, staying here made me realize just how much more special the original is. Kerry Hill’s signature design really shines through — it’s natural, serene, and deeply relaxing. I spent hours at breakfast by the river, enjoying every bite while soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. And yes, I actually bumped into Lei Jiaxin and his family — talk about a surprise! The riverfront loungers are pure bliss; I napped there for the entire afternoon. The highlight? I arrived on Mid-Autumn Festival. After a long day, I slipped into the spacious bathtub, lit candles, and just stared out at the moonlight. It felt like a moment suspended in time. This isn’t just a stay — it’s a memory in the making. Highly recommended.

Staying at Cross Chiang Mai Riverside was an absolute delight from start to finish. The property's red-brick architecture is stunning, blending traditional charm with elegant French-inspired design—every corner feels like a scene from a postcard. Breakfast and brunch were exceptional, rivaling Michelin-starred standards with fresh, delicious options that kept us coming back for more. What truly stood out was the thoughtful touches: a personalized chocolate with my name upon arrival, daily fruit platters delivered to the room, and even a little framed photo of me as a farewell gift at check-out. The staff went above and beyond—always smiling, attentive, and genuinely warm. It’s rare to find such attention to detail combined with genuine hospitality. The location is quiet yet convenient, just a short ride from downtown Chiang Mai. This isn’t just a hotel—it’s a memorable experience.

Anantara Chiang Mai Serviced Suites

This is my third time staying at Anantara Chiang Mai Serviced Suites, and I can confidently say I’m even more in love with it than before. The location is unbeatable—right next to Anurak Market, with a small convenience store and a large supermarket just steps away. Eating out and grocery shopping are so convenient, no need to go far. The property is split between standard rooms and suites, separated by a quiet street. I personally prefer the rooms—the atmosphere is cozier, and just lying in bed watching the trees sway outside feels incredibly peaceful. The suites, on the other hand, are perfect for families or groups of friends who want more space and room to gather without feeling cramped. Breakfast is excellent—wide variety, satisfying both local and international tastes. My favorite part? Having breakfast by the riverbank, enjoying the morning breeze and the gentle sound of flowing water. No matter how many times I visit Chiang Mai, this is always my go-to hotel. It’s consistently comfortable, well-located, and delivers a truly memorable stay. Highly recommended.

The Inside House

Staying at The Inside House in Chiang Mai was an absolute delight from start to finish. The front desk staff spoke excellent English, making communication seamless throughout our visit. One of the male team members even spoke fluent Chinese—such a thoughtful touch for international guests. We arrived early and weren’t checked in yet, so we went out shopping. When we returned, our luggage had already been moved into our room—so attentive! A staff member even accompanied us upstairs to personally show us around the room, explain all the amenities, and give us details about breakfast and afternoon tea offerings. Every time we came or went out, they greeted us with warm smiles—genuinely welcoming.
