Monomial Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I am looking for a value for money hotel in Chiang Mai within walking distance of the night market. Somewhere in the 1000 - 1500 baht/night range ideally. For a stay April 17-20, after the Songkran holiday has ended. I am attending a conference at Le Méridien and need somewhere nearby to stay. I can't find anything reasonable on Agoda. Any advice is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapporillo Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Try the Diamond Riverside Hotel, I quite liked it 5 or 6 years ago. It's a big, old shabby-looking hotel close to the riverbank, a few minutes from the night market, and it has a nice pool (although a falling big branch from a palm tree missed me by a few feet and would have either killed or seriously injured me). I think it was about 1200 per night after a little bargaining because I was staying for 2 weeks. The rooms were large enough, and since it's quite old you can open the windows even though the rooms have A/C. I guess the cleanliness was OK, although I'm used to cheap accommodations, and I remember seeing a cockroach once (called the maid who gassed the room, good thing I could open the windows for the night!). Here's their address, but of course I don't know if it still exists: Diamond Riverside Hotel Charoenprathet Rd. 33/10-11 Chiangmai 50100 Thailand +66 5381895364 [email protected] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Catton Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Raming Lodge Hotel, Duangtawan, and Chiang Mai Plaza fall within the budget on Agoda within the specified dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenKong Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I think it was about 1200 per night after a little bargaining because I was staying for 2 weeks. I see 780B for one night after Songkran on Booking.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got curious and read a few on TripAdvisor, most of it is exaggerated, except maybe the breakfast. But it is an old, shabby hotel, and it looks the part. The view over the river is fantastic though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Catton Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 CH Hotel provided value for money and should come in at the lower scale of your budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryLH Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Have you checked to see if the Le Méridien has a conference price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
