DeDanan Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Hi All, I am planning to spend a few days in Chiang Mai with my TG. I have done a search for recommendations for hotels in CM on this forum. I am between minds on the Empress Hotel or Rydges Amora Hotel. Any comments for or against would be appreciated. (yes I did read the beds in Rydges are hard) Thanking You, Have a Happy… DeDanan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackandwhite Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Please do not stay at the Rydges unless You want to be treated like a total stranger Charges 100 Baht for a water in th emini bar also 160 Baht for small beer chang, 100 baht for small pringle and last but not least 180 baht for an icecream. The pool food and drink service is also very over priced. We had the Princess suite it normally costs 6000 baht a night. ( we did not pay anything like that) but in the room was a safe bot the you had to pay 99 Baht if you wanted to use. Also please add VAT and service charge to the above prices. Breakfast was good pool was clean and the night guards on duty were great fun. But that is it , Will never stay at the Rydges Hotels again. Hope this has helped.

orchis Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 The empress is very good. It is taken care of by its owner. it is a walk to the night bazaar, but is a quiet hotel. F and B are cheap. Very good laundry service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weary Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 To complain about minibar prices is a bit pointless - why use the minibar anyway? Just pop into a Seven Eleven and buy peanuts, chocolate, soft drinks or whatever it is you need, and bring it up to your room in your bag. Very simple and saves you the money.
