This is a long-established hotel in the area to the south of Chiang Mai Gate, a minute’s walk from the well-known Wua Lai Saturday walking street. It stands on a noisy main road and the ground floor of the building is occupied by a large motorcycle hire and sales operation. Reception is on the first floor and the lift to the accommodation floors stops at half-landings, so there is still a set of stairs to negotiate if you are carrying heavy luggage. The broad, marble (type)-floored corridors do tend to amplify the ambient noise from the street outside and the tendency by thoughtless guests to slam doors and hold loud conversations in the wee hours - they have many Chinese tour groups who have not learned the courtesies of respect for other patrons.||||I was fortunate enough to get a room on the top floor to the rear, which kept the noise level down a bit. The room itself was large and clean, with a door opening on to a generous balcony, but it was no more than functional. There was a refrigerator and a TV, block-wood furnishings, which were originally painted white or cream but were marked and stained, and the room had adequate storage for clothes and kit. The mattress on the bed was firm and a little unforgiving. The wet-room type bathroom offered a decent electric shower. The wifi connection was generally, but not consistently, reliable.||||The reception staff were friendly, bi-lingual and helpful, while the domestic staff did a good job on the rooms. Given the central location, with its easy access to the old city, the local transport options and the food stalls in the local market, I’d rate Noble House as a good place to stay and good value for money.
