I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, thanks to its great location and comfortable accommodations. The rooms were clean and spacious, which I appreciated after long days out exploring. The breakfast was decent, though I wish there were more variety. On the downside, there were some issues with noise from nearby streets that could be distracting at times.

The hotel offers a great location, right in the middle of the Saturday night market, making it convenient for exploring Chiang Mai. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and I really appreciated the free canned soft drinks in the fridge. However, the dining options could use more variety for different dietary preferences. Overall, it felt like good value for the money with friendly staff to assist you.

I had a decent stay at this hotel, which boasts a fantastic location right on the Saturday Walking Street, making it easy to explore nearby markets and food stalls. The rooms were a bit stuffy upon entry and right next to the pool, which did have a strong chlorine smell. However, the outdoor seating was a plus for enjoying a smoke. The overall comfort could be improved, but the friendly staff really made the experience better.

The hotel has a great location, being a short walk to Ta Pae market and other shops, which is perfect for late-night food runs. The rooms were generally clean and well-equipped but could use some improvements. The service was helpful, but I found the dining options lacking in variety. Overall, it's a decent place with good value for money, especially if you like a quiet environment.
