Nampiangdin Boutique Hotel

The cleanliness exceeded my expectations: Given Thailand's hot and humid climate, my biggest fear is encountering damp, moldy, or buggy bedding. This place has tile floors (no carpets) and is cleaned diligently every day. The sheets are sparkling white with no strange perfumed smell. The bathroom has a wet/dry separation, and the shower has great water pressure and consistent hot water. The location is incredibly convenient: It's about an 8-minute walk to the Old City, Nimman Road, and the night bazaar. Downstairs, there's a 7-Eleven and a very popular Thai milk tea stall. In the evening, it's super easy to go out for a banana pancake or buy some mango sticky rice. The best part is that the alley is quiet and peaceful, ensuring a good night's sleep. The service was typically Thai: The front desk staff's English wasn't perfectly fluent, but they were always smiling and proactively helped with luggage.

I chose this hotel after browsing through many options on Ctrip for my trip to Chiang Mai. I was a bit worried based on some reviews about it feeling old, but once I arrived, those concerns vanished! The room is really spacious and clean, and it even smells nice. The hotel service is also very attentive every day, always with a smile. They clean the room daily, and there's a pool too. It's incredibly good value for money, and the breakfast is delicious – I made sure to eat it every day. I'll definitely book here again on my next visit.

It was pretty good, just a lot of mosquitoes. However, I asked the front desk for some mosquito repellent. Some of the mosquitoes didn't seem to bite, and the service was good too; they helped with our luggage and showed us to our room.

The staff were very friendly and the breakfast, though not extensive, was delicious. The hotel itself was very quiet. However, there were a few downsides: The cleanliness was subpar; the tables and floor were visibly unwiped, very dirty and sticky, and the bathroom had mold. Also, around 1 AM, some fellow guests were chatting very loudly by the pool, and no one intervened. The location is indeed quite remote, with nothing much around, and it gets pitch black at night, so I'd advise caution if you're staying alone.

There's a convenience store right near the hotel, and the surroundings are lovely. It felt just like summer at home when I was a kid. The hotel pool is cleaned daily, and the soundproofing in the rooms is surprisingly good, exceeding my expectations. Plus, there are adorable little cats!
