Kireethara Boutique Resort

I really loved the atmosphere of the hotel, and the way the room was prepared was just perfect! The towel folding welcome was such a nice touch. Very impressed.I had an amazing stay! The service was excellent, and the hotel was clean and comfortable. I’m really impressed and would definitely come back!

Okay this is a complicated one- so it's very VERY cute, has A LOT of potential and I can see that when it was first established it was probably one of the coolest 4* hotels one could find... HOWEVER, nowadays there are some problems that obviously require updating- e.g. some pool towels are so old that they have holes in them (and somehow have not been thrown out still), the gym equipment is rusty and also has holes in it, there are ants living behind the bathroom wall in the Executive Suite (which I don't mind too much as I've seen worse in Bali, but you know, for 4* could be better) and so forth. In short- very cute and very sweet, the cafe here is lovely and the food is nice, the beds are comfy and the Exec Room in terms of space and furniture is great, but DEFINITELY many details require an update and replacement :) Also the distance from shops and town can be both a + and a - depending on how you prefer to spend your time. I personally enjoy the quiet mornings by the lake here, but my boyfriend is annoyed that the nearest grocery is 20mins.

What I always envisioned my inaugural journey to Thailand would be like! I touched down from Bangkok yesterday morning, securing an early check-in with the most amicable and humble staff imaginable! The place feels like stepping into a fairy tale. While some of the older reviews have pointed out minor areas for improvement, I spent yesterday watching a devoted team tirelessly maintain the enchanting garden and amenities. The café's culinary selection is simply phenomenal; the ingredients' freshness and quality are top-notch. I'm already contemplating extending my stay here. As for Chiang Mai, wow, what a gem! Bangkok feels somewhat commercialized, but with diligent exploration, you can find unique treasures. However, Chiang Mai has charmed me with its genuine humility. In summary, Thailand is a land of love, smiles, humility, and breathtaking beauty. For a stay in Chiang Mai that offers exceptional value for money, the Kireethara Boutique Resort is an absolute must!

Not too far from town. Very peaceful place. Wake up in the morning you can feel the fresh air surrounding 😊 nice swimming pool too. Good breakfast, all staff are very friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed the two nights at this resort.

We've just had the most fantastic stay, thank you for looking after us so well and making our stay in Chiang Mai so relaxing and comfortable! The rooms were extremely clean, spacious. The beds and pillows were really comfortable and we slept well every night. Every member of staff was so kind and attentive. The hotel is in a peaceful and serene setting with a view of the mountain. I highly recommend the restaurant, the food was truly outstanding! The menu offers both Northern and Southern Thai cuisine. We ate so many delicious things during our stay. A particular highlight was the Pad Thai with prawns! They also offer a great selection of cocktails and a variety of coffees. We will be recommending this hotel to family and friends and we will be back if we return to Chiang Mai.

Kiree Thara is a beautiful, and small well-built resort that is away from the city centre yet near enough if you have transport. It is about 8 km from the city. Our group of 7 stayed for 10 days and another joined us for 5. The highlight of staying there is the Saturday farmers market at Nana's Jungle, which is a small residential enclave just 5 minutes walking distance. People from all over Chiangmai go there for the freshly baked bread and free coffee. It is absolutely charming for city folks to spend a morning there as local handicrafts, nice food, soft live music and fresh produce abound. Back to the resort. You wake up to a view of Doi Suthep (executive suites, rooms 303 and 403 side) and cockerels crowing. Its gardens are very well-maintained as is the pool. The staff are generally helpful though not many speak English. We have stayed there many times and this trip was after a hiatus of 4 years due to the pandemic. It would have been nice if the resort keeps a record of their guests' preference, especially repeat long staying guests. Perhaps it was too much to ask, for instance, to ensure there are more hangers instead of just 2-3 in the wardrobe. No extras were given until I spoke to the boss personally. Extra tissue boxes for the toilet/counter area would have been nice but these were not forthcoming. probably because they did not have enough of the wooden boxes to put the loose tissue in. A small microwave oven to heat up food in the bar/kitchenette area would be perfect since there is no room service. You get 2 bottles of water daily. Breakfast selection is rather limited although I believe the food in their cafe is good. The resort is aging but it is okay if you like a countryside feel where things are rough around the edges. Wifi is slow and needs improvement but if you are on holiday, who cares?! I think the price per night is not cheap by Chiangmai standards, so they should level up with more attention to detail, for instance checking that everything works before they check in guests. My shower rose was jammed but it was resolved rather quickly, thanks to the boss who bore the brunt of my complaints. And yes, a small vase of fresh flowers in the room to calm my nerves is a nice touch. Thank you, Bob! Wish you all the best for your resort.

My wife and I loved staying at Kireethara for 8 nights in late Dec 2018. The Executive Room felt more like a home than a hotel room. The hotel landscaping was stunningly beautiful. The shower and bath were each large enough for a couple. The restaurant food was tasty and beautifully presented. The staff were exceptionally welcoming, making us feel more like honored family than foreigners. The bar, pool, exercise and massage rooms were convenient and appealing. If you prefer being in the action all the time, stay in town 15 minutes away. But for those, like us, who want a quiet beautiful place to come home to after exploring Chiang Mai and its magnificent surroundings, Kireethara is ideal. This is a 5-star hotel at a 3-star price.

We like this hotel because it is away from the city center and have stayed there 3 times. It is small and quiet. Although it is showing signs of age, the executive deluxe room is a comfortable size. I also wished they could have taken note of our preferences as returning guests but that might have been expecting too much. The speed with which our requests were met made up for it and suggestions for improvements and little touches were noted down by Lek, their new Resident Manager. The heater broke down on one night but it was promptly repaired the next day. Likewise, a blown bulb. We had hoped for softer pillow choices but that was not available. Staff are generally polite, friendly, efficient and housekeeping of a good standard although the laundry service is contracted out and took more than a day to be returned. Lek, the front office and restaurant staff always have a smile for us and Sam, their other Manager, was friendly too. Mostly it is waking up to a Mountain View, fresh air and sounds of the cockerels crowing that have brought us back to this tiny resort. We were generally happy with our 12 nights stay here and I miss it already.
