Bodhi Serene, Chiang Mai

This is a very old complex, located in the old town and having indeed the best location. Easy access to everything, got two pools to enjoy and a nice breakfast. Small rooms are pretty basic and not good. Go for the balcony ones, having view on the inside courtyard. Location may be a little noisy (you can hear music and outside celebrations). Water pump is the other source of noice that could bother someone if light sleeper. Everything else is good and acceptable. Breakfast is nice, well prepared and staff very friendly.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Pool area was really lovely and location was great for exploring Chiang Mai. Room was clean. ||Air con wasn’t great (but I think probably because the room was too big for it to be able to cool the room properly). Bed wasn’t the comfiest but was fine for the week we stayed. Shower wasn’t great - water pressure was intermittent and at one point the water just stopped altogether for a solid 5 minutes whilst I had shampoo on my hair. ||Overall an alright place to stay if you’re just looking for a relatively inexpensive place to explore Chiang Mai from.

I've stayed here before, and I very much appreciate the location. Short walking distance to Tha Phae Gate, markets and shops. 7-11 across the street. Great pool. Large room. Bed on the firm side, but not a brick. They've padded the bed frame corners, which was a nice detail. Plenty electrical outlets. Would recommend, and likely return should I visit the city again.

Bodhi Serene is a beautiful hotel, 10 minutes (by car) from the airport and 15 minutes (by foot) away from the busy streets and night markets. In short, the location is excellent! The hotel is amazing and very tranquil. The rooms are very spacious which was really nice. The bathroom bad a large bathtub and shower, which you doesn't see often in hotels anymore. The only downsides were the best, which was really hard, and the breakfast. Breakfast was not completely to our liking (not too many options), but we don't mind as we like to grab some food at local restaurants.

A lovely hotel in the old town area in Chiang Mai. The neighborhood is vibrant, yet the hotel offers quiet rooms and easy sleeping. The pool is great. The breakfast was acceptable, but not great. The service was it's excellent. The only comp!ain't was that the shower water temperature and pressure was intermittent and not reliable. we stayed for 5 nights and would stay here again.

Quaint little botique hotel. Spacious clean rooms. Lovely property located in a nice part of old town. 7 11 across the road

This felt more like a 3 star hotel with some issues than a 4 star compared to other hotels we stayed at. Positive: very good location, spacious room, attractive building. Despite the proximity to alleged music clubs, there was no music even on the weekend and it was surprisingly quiet. The front desk staff was for the most part accomodating. Negative: we had a few bathroom issues: water was tepid and when we advised the hotel, we had a Fawlty Towers minute when the guy they sent up insisted it was hot. He then adjusted something under the sink and the situation improved but the pressure was not great. We had this huge round tub but we deemed it not usable because the faucet was not accessible for a person with a normal reach and there were no bars or anything and for climbing in and out I'd want a step ladder; who wants to successfully negotiate the Kew Mae Pan Nature Trail only to slip in the tub. There is only one coffee maker at breakfast and it is slow and the coffee isn't hot. Or good. Stick with the very decent instant in the room which comes with nice big mugs. The toast isn't hot. I saw people including me using the toaster conveyer multiple times to minimal effect. You can navigate your way to a decent breakfast but it takes thought and persistance. Try the scrambled eggs with the sauteed vegetables. The mattress is just OK. It's not hard as a rock and we slept fine but it's not as soft or comfortable as we were used to in four stars. We did not use the extra twin daybeds in the room for sleeping but they did not look comfortable. We did not use the pool so I can't comment on it. Bottom line: if the price is right and you want a step up from a hostel, you can make this work very well for you but we did not consider it a four star experience. You should think about not getting the breakfast.

What a great value for money boutique hotel. Friendly, efficient staff and the most comfortable bed I have ever had in a hotel. Would stay again in a heartbeat.
