Puripunn Hideaway

Puripunn is something special. If you book there, you can expect the whole team to take care of you in a very attentive, quiet, discreet way, which is typical of northern Thailand. It is located in a quiet part of Chiang Mai and the city center is only 20 minutes walk away and if you prefer not to walk, they offer free transfers. The buildings are typical Thai architecture, giving it a lot of flair. The owner and the whole team give a lot of attention to details and the service is outstanding. My favourite part is the breakfast, which varies every day, and cover all possible tastes, from sweet to salty, lots of fruits, a brilliant eggs menu... I've been there twice and I look forward to going again!

We are about to leave for Krabi having stayed a few days in Chiang Mai. Staying at The Puripunn Hideaway has been a brilliant experience.||Location: It's situated in a very quiet spot away from the bustling high street and traffic. Chiang Mai is like a mini Bangkok and we appreciated the contrasting peace and quiet here, with the calming, fountain ripple in the courtyard/garden. We walked into Town crossing the bridge..it took us ten minutes (but, to go to the Old Town surrounded by the square 'moat', definitely take the Hotel option of a tuktuk to the main gate).||Size: It's small with all rooms facing the internal pool and beautiful, well kept garden.||Staff: All outstanding, treating you like an old friend or family member. Thailand at It's best. Att the manager is a quiet, kind, gentle, philosophical man who is respected and liked by all.||Rooms: We had a Superior Room on the second floor. It had a balcony, a good bathroom and a very large (I'm 6'4"), comfy bed with luxurious bedding. It was spacious and immaculately looked after by staff. The room was very stylish 'Thai meets Colonial'.||Food: Brealfast is served in the dining room. So comfortable and relaxing, as good as an evening meal, with a wide choice of fruit, pastries and hot food prepared/cooked by the chef outside with you.||Evening meals: If we'd known the food quality, preparation, presentation and service was so good, we would have eaten every night here...despite the unlimited food options in Chiang Mai. Also, let's say the value was surprisingly (very) good compared to others we tried.||Conclusion: Yes, I/we would definitely go again to the Puripunn. We could have picked a larger, bustling hotel ten minutes away in town and be one of the many hundreds of visiting, faceless tourists...but....we would have missed this unique Thai experience in an oasis of calm and tranquillity.|Many thanks...Bernie

Gorgeous property, staff very professional and knowledgeable. Spotless rooms and building in general, breakfast was very convenient, but I think the table only needs the basic fork, knife and spoon and one plate since is small and you run out of space between coffee cup and one plate. Otherwise everything was awesome. And we love the fact that was very quiet at night even though is so closed to the Main Street.

The hotel design is Northern Thailand Lanna architecture. Beautiful setting with a lovely pool and hot tub. Our room on third floor was spacious and had a great balcony over-looking the courtyard and pool. The breakfast buffet had many options and made to order items as well which were delicious. Palm, the food and beverage manager, went out of her way to make sure we had great service! On our first day, the owner, Att, came by to introduce himself and to ask how our stay was going. He went out of his way to ask if there were any issues and immediately addressed a small issue we did have more than appropriately. They offer a free shuttle to the market or square, whichever you prefer. We would highly recommend The Puripunn Hideaway on your next visit to Chaing Mai.

Very cute hotel with well placed lights around trees at the entry. Nice seats at entry / lobby area. ||Stayed in the family room and was nice to be able to have the little one in his own space, with the ability to close the door and still have access to bathroom and balcony. Note: Window coverings are wood Venetian, so the light did come in pretty early. ||Smaller breakfast buffet, but includes yogurts, salad, pastries and ability to order dishes such as pancakes, french toast, or eggs. They even made some pastries Halloween themed based on the time of our stay. ||Pool was a bit chilly. They have two - one 'normal' depth and one shallow. They also have a hot tub, which was wonderful. The area around the pool can be very slippery and there are no handrails/protections from young kids falling into the pool (it is down a few stairs from the lounge chairs).||It is a bit out of the main square - if you are going to only be staying in Chiang Mai downtown for activities, I would stay in the square instead. If you plan to do some excursions (ie: elephants, temples), and only a bit of time in the square, then this is a good spot. Tours will pickup/dropoff at the hotel. |They do offer a shuttle (set times during the day and flexible in the evenings) for a one way dropoff to the edge of the square. Worked well to get to the night market (then had a 150 baht ride back). It seems to be in an alley surrounded by houses, so it was quiet. Takes about 4-5 minutes walking to get to a main road.

We just loved this boutique hotel. Everything about it was just perfect, even down to the personal touches of the owner coming by daily for a chat. Great food, staff and decor and a nice little walk or tuk tuk ride away from the huge night market and all the sites. We also did some amazing day trips to Elephant sanctuary and Mae Kampong- while nothing to do with the hotel, we got to see a lot of natural and traditional beauty that Chaing Mai and the small, surrounding villages offer. It is so beautiful, wish we had stayed longer!

We stayed here for our honeymoon and 100000/10 recommend. You are so secluded from the hustle and bustle yet still close enough to walk to things. The pictures don’t do this hotel justice as the shrubs were so beautiful. Breakfast was great and all the staff are so kind and speak English well. Wish we could stay here longer!!! Absolutely worth the money.

Upon arrival we knew we had picked a good hotel. It a bougie boutique place, the decor and the rooms are fantastic. The beds were so comfy . Breakfast was good and love the egg menu , a very good selection. The staff were all so lovely and kind . Was sad to leave here. Great location, just out the way from the hustle and bustle, but only a 15min wall into town . Thank you for a beautiful stay
