Caveat: this is a western perspective reviewing this hotel. This is a definitely a older hotel. When arriving I feel like I stepped into a 1960s spaghetti western movie with all the lace woodwork, dark recesses and wooden figurines reminiscent of totem poles. I was defiantly transported back in time into an era I'm not sure I was interested in staying in for a week. Needless to say, the rooms are big and spacious as others have mentioned. The room in general is dark and the fluorescent lighting doesn't help a bit. Our bathroom was even darker. The most modern thing in the room was a nice flat screen tv. There was a rotary phone in the bathroom thought a keypad phone between the two single beds. These beds essentially sat on the ground and were very soft. One pillow was comfortable the other was as comfortable as a rock. Sheets had holes in them and just looked old, along with the bed skirts. The center table between the two beds offered power but also hap options to turn on a radio and tape player that was still connected to the wall, but neither the tape player or radio was to be found...surprisingly. The bathroom for us was gross. It took 5 or so minutes to get hot water initially, the shower head was loose the first night and had to hand tighten it. Which ended up all over the ceiling and toilet. While showering we stood in about 2 to 5 inches of water as the tub didn't drain fast enough and had to wait 5+ min for it to drain completely. Are room and especially our bathroom was not cleaned at all (I know our toilet wasn't for the full 5 days we were here). Overall the hotel is dark and somewhat creepy especially at night. Breakfast was mediocre and just stuck with toast and fruit. I really like Thai food and don't mind it for breakfast but didn't look appetizing at all. If I come back to Chiangmai I'm pretty sure I wouldn't stay here. But I'm sure for some it's the perfect hotel and it certainly was busy enough with guests. This was simply my experience. Wifi has the potential to be great but not enough access points for the volume of rooms and people.
