Vieng Mantra

The Vieng Mantra is in a great location just by one of the gates in the old town. It’s in easy reach of restaurants, bars and local shops. The renowned Sunday night walking market is just at the end of the road. The bed was comfortable the room was clean and the bathroom was nice. What was disappointing was the breakfast. There was a choice of three set American breakfasts but they didn’t start serving until 7.30am if you’re going out on a day excursion it was too late. One morning we did have the breakfast and it took 45 minutes to arrive and was disappointing. Book without breakfast as there are plenty of nice places to go with a quick walk of the hotel.

Such a cute and cozy place. Room and toilet are both clean and comfy, it even has a balcony. Also theres a restaurant right next to the lobby, serves the best local food, had the pad kra paw, and honestly it was the best ive tasted in chiangmai

Had a great 3 night stay here. Location is perfect in the old town. It’s tucked away on a quiet street but steps from a busy road which leads to shopping and restaurants. Hotel itself is very nice and clean. The balcony rooms are especially nice for relaxing in the cool air at night. Rooms are as advertised and quite roomy. Note: free breakfast is only if you pay in cash.

Really liked this cute hotel, great location, I walked everywhere. also literally right near the weekly local Sunday night market (connects with the street accommodation is on). Nice pool and cute balcony to sit on overlooking pool. I had the deluxe pool view room and it was nice, clean and comfy with a ginormous bed. provided two free drinking water bottles every day and also replaced towels and made bed each day. Staff were friendly and helpful especially when I arrived quite stressed out as my luggage was left behind after my flight in. They helped me ring the airline to find out what was happening with my bag. They helped with Taxi booking for airport and a visit to a temple. They had bicycle rentals too which I hope to use next time come back, definitely will stay here again. and for my fellow vegans even though there's loads of vegan places around, there is literally a cute place called 'vegan meals' on the end of this street and its was delicious :)||I thought that it would be great if they did have more of a breakfast option available. (even if they charged a small amount for more breakfast options, I would have most likely paid for a breakfast option). I understand they only have the limited complimentary breakfast, but for me as a vegan I could only take a banana and a piece of toast with strawberry jam. so, I ate out every time which is easy enough. But I did think they could have at least some more fruit options other than just a banana. and potentially the option of a dairy free milk alternative like a soy milk option would be good and helpful too.||I think they really need to take the photos off the website of the food, as I believe they used to offer that food, but no longer do (as I mentioned above) it’s only a very simple limited breakfast option now. I wish they still offered that food in the photos as it looked good. It’s kind of a little bit miss leading still having that on the hotel page on booking.com because even I thought there was still a chance, they might have that food if I paid for it. but they do not. such a shame though they don't do the food anymore. especially the mango sticky rice, my favourite. :)

The place is conveniently located in Old Town area, in a proximity of Tha Phae Gate. The building has tons of character that’s why we have kept coming back to this hotel since 2016. The rooms with a pool view and balcony are the best to book. Unfortunately this time our stay was pretty disappointing. Despite the fact that we booked the room way in advance and particularly asked to accommodate us in a quiet room since we stay for 7 nights they gave us a room right across the construction site. They did upgrade our room category but the noise was extremely loud since they literally were tearing the whole building down from 8am to 4pm. So we asked the reception to change the room for us since we stay for the entire week but they never found a solution. In general the condition of the place is pretty sad. The facilities and rooms look very dated. The bathroom sink had a leak that they fixed quickly however a smell of sewerage was pretty strong all the time. AC was quite old and noisy too. The bed was comfortable though. Upon check-out they also charged us for Singha beer that someone posted on our room. It was kind of a last straw to get disappointed with the staff attitude. As our taxi was already waiting to leave to the airport we decided to drop it. I don’t think we’ll book this place next time we are coming back to Chiang Mai.

Cute and tranquil place to stay. Rooms & bathrooms need renovations/updates. No elevator but staff helped us carry our suitcases to the second floor.

It’s a comfortable little place with a nice pool. Slightly overpriced in my opinion for what it is but it’s clean and the rooms are spacious. House keeping come every morning and tidy, make bed and replace water, which is nice. Hotel could use slightly more upkeep but apart from that would recommend!

We enjoyed our stay here. Rooms were great, good size, nice and clean, well maintained and good air conditioning. We had rooms that overlooked the pool. I would definitely advise to upgrade to the rooms that view the pool. You get a great veranda and it's fab to sit out on. A location of the hotel was excellent - really in the centre of everything. We would recommend this place to anyone.||Staff are a little quirky. We found across Thailand that everyone was soooo helpful. Here they were polite but not up to the level you get across Thailand. Just a mention.|Also, as many people have said, you can get breakfast included if you pay cash. From what I saw of the breakfast I did not miss out on anything. We paid on card and got charged an extra 3% :-)|But - we liked this place and would go back quickly.
