Is this stay right for you?
A well-priced, no-fuss Chiang Mai hotel with a pool, genuine breakfast, and free parking — the kind of place that gets the basics consistently right.
Best for
- Drivers exploring the wider Chiang Mai region
- Couples wanting a balcony room with a view
- Small groups or families needing a triple or twin king configuration
- Budget-conscious travellers who still want a pool
Less suited to
- Travellers who need hotel dining beyond breakfast
- Those arriving without a specific plan for getting around
Outdoor pool and garden
The outdoor swimming pool sits alongside a garden — an uncommon combination at this price point in Chiang Mai. It's a straightforward place to cool off between sightseeing, without any resort pretence attached.
Rooms with balconies and views
Every room category includes a private balcony. Double, triple, and king rooms also have a terrace and a view. At 23–29 m², the spaces are compact but well-equipped, with soundproofing that earns its mention.
Breakfast worth the early alarm
The hotel's breakfast is listed by name among its top facilities — 'Wonderful Breakfast' — which is an unusual distinction for a 3-star property. It's one of the most frequently cited reasons guests return.
Free parking on-site
On-site parking is free for guests. For anyone driving in Chiang Mai or planning day trips to Doi Inthanon or other points outside the city, this removes a daily cost and logistical headache.
