Chana Place

One of the cleanest hotels I had stayed, no slippers but nothing sticks on your soles. No kettles, face tissue Great location, all great eateries in walking distance

Very friendly helpful staff. The situation is excellent and considering it is fairly central relatively quiet. The rooms are clean and adequately equipped for the price. Opposite the hostel there is a hotel/café that serves the most amazing breakfast and coffee. Just up the road, there is an excellent Thai restaurant very comfortable very helpful. Not often I give fives on a review but Chana place deserves it. One small thing that is worth considering there is no lift so travellers perhaps less able may wish to confirm ground floor booking.

We stayed here for 6 nights and requested to move after one night due to the wifi not reaching our room. Avoid the rooms at the ends of the hallways if possible. Cleaning staff begins work each morning between 6:30-7am, and are consistently singing in the hallways, slamming doors, and talking loudly. The insulation is typical of Thailand and non-existent, so expect to be woken up each morning either by noise, or the fact that the bathroom doors are transparent and let in the light from the bathroom windows. The photo attached shows the room at 7am. Since they work so early, there's no one to be found between 10-11am when you try to ask for a clean towel and soap, instead of having your entire room cleaned. Cleaning staff AND front desk staff were attempting to open a stuck grate or something with a hammer at 7:45am directly next to our room. See attached photo. AC is also located directly above our heads as we sleep, so it's either get blasted with cold (dusty) air as we sleep or keep it off for the evening. It does work well, but the fan settings are high, higher, and turbo. The location of the hotel is the only positive thing about this place. There are some delicious restaurants close by.

Staff has clearly never stayed in these rooms. I did for a week and hated every morning here. And you can see people straight through the bathroom doors. Let's discuss. The wifi DOES NOT reach rooms in the X01 series, so if your room is 201, 301, or 401 then plan to not have internet. I brought staff up to my room to prove it to them. The next morning they switched me to a different room. Internet works fine everywhere else besides those rooms at the end of the hall. I tested all of this on two phones and a laptop. The early mornings here are TERRIBLE because of cleaning staff and the lack of curtains. Staff starts cleaning before 8 am and are LOUD about it. The halls have tiled floors so you hear echos of everything they do which doubles their inconsiderate noise - like singing, whistling, laughing - as if they were in your room. I'm literally listening to them sing in the hallway right now. They even decided to hammer out a window at 7 am. It's comical that they think that's okay for guest. The mornings here are also terrible because of the bathrooms. There are no curtains or anything else to block the sun from blasting through the bathroom windows. That might seem like no big deal, but they installed translucent doors for all the bathrooms (both my rooms had these doors) which turn into mega light bulbs as soon as the sun comes up. See my photo of the closed bathroom door at 8 am. It's so bright in the room you never need to turn on a light. Since they are translucent doors, yes, you will be able to see someone using the toilet from your bed. Enjoy. Some air conditioners also point directly at the bed. If you get a room like that then plan to be constantly blasted by air or not use the air conditioner at all because you're too cold. The terrible mornings aside, it's a very clean hotel with plenty of in-room amenities like a fridge, freezer, desk, wardrobe, side tables for the bed, and plenty of outlets even near the bed. This could be such a great spot. However, if staff actually stayed in these rooms they'd realize how terrible it is to be blasted by the sun, air conditioning, and their cleaning staff's lack of vocal talent every morning. There's no consideration for guest comfort. They certainly don't understand hospitality.

Location of this hotel is its best quality! even though we enjoyed our stay, there are a lot of things we would change. 1 day before arriving we was told the hotel would cost 3 times more for the first night because of the festival, which is just because they knew they could make some money out of us which is cheeky when we had already booked, but we didn’t have a choice as most other places within our budget were fully booked already - so we wasn’t happy about that. The young girl that checked us in on the day was lovely and friendly though; so credit to her! We had issues with our shower flooding so everything was constantly wet. But credit to them again, when we mentioned it the lady was straight on the radio to get it fixed! We also didn’t get our bin emptied in the bathroom once; which when you are not allowed to flush tissue is not nice. There was 2 mirrors in the room, but the lamps from the ceiling had been placed right in front of them so that was really strange but it didn’t give us a good laugh haha The bed was really comfortable which was a great positive for this place! Location was fantastic, within walking distance of lots of restaurants bars annd temples, and the WiFi worked in the rooms which was also great. I also got a nice sunset view from my room, If the room was the original price we paid; we would’ve been really happy! But we didn’t feel like we got value for money with the sudden price increase! However; we would recommend this hotel as the perfect budget friendly place to stay! Thank you:

Great location. Very easy to find and not far from the main road. Staff were very friendly. We booked a higher floor and there was no elevator and the staff helped carry our bags up upon check in. Rooms were very clean and spacious, but the bathroom had a sewage smell that lingered a bit after using it.Very nice night market about 10 minutes walk towards the south gate of the old town.

It’s a family own small apartment that now becomes an affordable hotel. The building is quite old and compact. However, you can see their affords keeping everything clean and ready. The stuffs are very helpful and friendly. There may be not many toiletries but you can always ask the front desk including hair dryer and stuffs. Cleanliness and friendly stuffs would be my impression about this place but if I travelled with children this place may be too small. Anyhow, it’s good for the price!

My partner and I stayed here for 5 nights and we had an extremely comfortable stay, the room was nice, clean and spacious. You can have your room cleaned daily if you like and fresh bottles of water are provided. Our room had the best shower we’ve had our entire time in Thailand. ||There is a great communal area downstairs where you can hang out. The hotel staff were always very friendly and helpful. ||The location of the hotel is great, right in the Old Town and very close to a night market, 7 Eleven, Pharmacy and many other restaurants etc. This hotel is very good value.
