Burapa Boutique

I thoroughly enjoyed my extended stay at Burupa Boutique. I planned to stay a few days and ended up staying two months! The owners, Father and Son are true gems, they continuously went out of their way to make my extended stay as comfortable and livable as possible. The rooms are spotlessly clean and the housekeepers are very trustworthy. In numerous occasions I left my two gold rings on the table and they were not removed during room cleaning. The owners lent me a bicycle for two months free! This really brought me so much joy and made my stay so comfortable. The owners also rent out motorbikes. The owners helped me after surgery and helped me order things. I love being in the city yet having nature and trees around me, so peaceful. I can only ever stay here when I return to Chiagmai. Will be in my heart this lovely hotel which is a luxury home from home Oh and the epic flea and antique markets near by are wonderful to explore at weekends. Thank you

This is a great place to stay in Chiang May but in a calm cozy place. The staff is beyond welcoming. We felt so good there, we had everything we could need, they offered bikes and laundry services too! It’s easy to get to the old town with a red truck too. Just great!

My friend recommended this place to us because my parents love quite places. I personally found lots of hotels in the old town are close to noisy areas. The only disadvantage of Burapa is it's a little bit far away from the old town, but catching a cab to city is only 200 THB (5 dollars). There are quite a few little reataurants within walking distance if you want dinner. The hotel also can help you order takeway Chinese, Indian or Thai. Our room was upgraded and my parents were so pleased with their facilities. Riding the bicycle in the morning around the blocks is great fun and different experience. The hotel offers bicycle for free but you'd better be early. They only have three available. The owners of the hotel are lovely. I mentioned I love pat thai noodle. The following morning we had noodle and chicken rice on our table. I would definately recommend this place to families and young couples who would love to enjoy a peaceful night at a safe place

Nice decor and lovely architecture - you get what you pay for which is not cheap. A sink in the kitchen would have been nice as there is ample room. And some decent sized tea/cofee cups - those small things we found also in other hotels are so annoyingly small! Too many light switches too. Toilet smelled all the time. Shower would only be barely warm and was a big sore point for us as the days were cold. According to housekeeping nothing could be done. :-( No shampoo provided but toothbrushes were?? Breakfast was nice not fantastic but lovely that it is cooked hot for you. Undercover carpark. Good signage to find it and is necessary as it's tucked in a side street. Not much in walking distance for tourists except for great seafood restaurant down the road which had a good outdoor atmosphere and live band, and the 7 11 before that. Very quiet except for the occasional loud plane - must be under a flight path. I am torn between rating very good and average!

If you are attending a conference at the new Chiangmai Convention centre, then this might be an alternative to having to make the commute from Nimman or the Old City. Set off the Chang Puak road, some tuk tuk drivers had some difficulty finding it, so bring along a card from the hotel which has the phone number. You can also mention that it is near the Chang Puak Police Station. There is another hotel called the Buaraya hotel that confuses the local transport guys. ||This is a small new hotel, with very comfortable, quiet and spacious rooms (16 in total). We had a balcony overlooking a vacant plot of land that was the playground of many birds, providing a pleasant start to the day with their birdsong. The airconditioning works, and the bathroom is huge with a decent shower, and most importantly, the (free) wifi was available in our room. Breakfast was Thai style (we requested this rather than a western breakfast) and delicious. Ms Phon at the front desk was exceptionally helpful and even gave us a (free) lift to the Convention Centre with her car (although some others opted to walk the 1.5km). There are a couple of complimentary bicycles which we took out to check out the nearby park and lake (with the tribal museum) - an easy flat ride done in just over an hour. The same bike trail would make a good jogging session too. Restaurants nearby vary with one nice seafood restaurant (Thajene ChomChan) and some smaller and less salubrious ones. Nearby notable temple that is worth a visit would be Wat Jed Yod / Chet Yot.||A ride into the old town or the night bazaar would set you back around 200 Thai Baht (standard price for non-Thais) one way or perhaps cheaper (100 baht) if you walked out to the main road to hail one of the red trucks. ||The downside of staying here? If you like nipping in and out of your hotel room, then it might be better to be in the middle of the city. And there is no pool.

My wife and I spent 6 nights here. I booked it based on what I'd seen of it online (not on Trip Advisor - but on Agoda).||||The hotel is quaint. It's in a very quiet residential area on the outskirts of Chiang Mai. Nice rooms that are quite spacious. Balconies give decent views of the mountains that surround the city.||||The family team who own and operate the hotel make it a very enjoyable place to stay. They could not be more freindly and helpful. Khun Fon, Khun Nipon, and the rest of the team there were excellent. Providing a 'taxi' service as and when we needed it, providing information on places to see and to eat in the area, and 'rescuing' us when we got lost in our hire car (which wasn't equipped with GPS) by talking us through our route back to the hotel over the phone - which took some time and considerable effort!||||On the downside - there's no pool, there's no bar, and there's no restaurant. The hotel does provide a basic breakfast buffet spread that is brought in from outside (not cooked on the premises). Lunch and dinner are up to guests to organise. There are several good and cheap local restaurant options within easy walking distance of the hotel. And Chian Mai city centre is only a 10-15 minute drive away.||||The other negative - while we were there (and since it opened apparently) the hotel's TV package ONLY provides Thai channels. There were no international or foreign language channels available. Khun Fon did assure us that this would be changed sometime this year.||||So - overall, a decent 'base' from which to explore the area. Don't expect many frills. But do expect a great team of people who will provide no end of help.

I am stayed for one month here. The owner very kind and staff so friendly. The location just perfect to get to old town, Nimman, Malls. Closed to everything you need, local food, coffee shop restaurants and local market. The hotel have a bicycle that you can use to getting around. I am strongly recommend.

My boyfriend and spent three days in Chiang Mai and we stayed at this hotel. We found that the room was spacious, clean and quiet (very quiet...). However, the hotel is fairly isolated with a few small stalls/shops around for any basic needs. It is quite far from the centre and the taxi fares are around 200 - 250 bhats each way and you will need the taxi because riding a bicycle or a moped can be very unsafe. Both my boyfriend and I each used one of the three bicycles of the hotel and felt that the roads were unsafe to try to go further that the nearest stall. The hotel staff were kind to offer to pick us up from the airport for 220 bhats which is the same rate as a taxi. ||Unfortunately, the hotel offers very basic breakfast as they do not cater for that in the premises.
