Hello.

Can you help us pick a decent hotel room or do you have a particular hotel you recommend? My wife and I are looking for a hotel room in Chiang Mai. It is so difficult to find a hotel with all the hype coming from these companies and it makes it so hard to tell the hype from the truth especially when we are not knowledgable about Chiang Mai. We will be staying for four nights March 9, to March 13. Budget around Bt1,500 per night in or near the center of the city (I will rent a car). Basically, we are looking for a decent, clean, comfortable hotel...do you have a favorite hotel that might fit our needs. Thanks for all replies

Try the Roal Panerai.

Thank you for your e-mail, I don't have a Facebook account so I can't open your answer of a hotel to stay in. Could you resend your e-mail with the hotel's name and a telephone number if possible.

To: Beng

Thanks for your quick reply. I will have a look at it.

I don't have a Facebook account either but if I click the link it opens. Anyway, the "Nice Mum Lodge" is what the link opens....unfortunately, that Facebook page hasn't been updated for a couple of years and the link to their website doesn't work.

And I'm pretty sure Beng misspelled his suggestion - I think it's supposed to be Royal Panerai.

Sorry I can't be of assistance with a recommendation of my own.

Thank you for your help. I will have a look at Nice Mum Lodge.

Greenhillplace, hotel m, b2, there are many great ones.

Mercure was a good choice for us during many visits prior to settling here > http://www.accorhotels.com/gb/hotel-1797-mercure-chiang-mai/index.shtml

Book online and good deal for 2 nights or more, HUGE rooms with massive beds. Parking is easy and adjacent Tops supermarket very handy for essentials.

havent actually stayed there but seen a lot of farang coming and going http://www.chiangmai.amorahotels.com/

tae pae gate is a central as you need.

I have just stayed at the Raming Lodge Hotel in Chiang mai the best hotel I booked in 12 days travellWebsite www.raminglodge .com

Yes, I meant Royal Panerai.

Yes, the Amora is OK. Spent 2 nights there in 2011. Room incl breakkie was 1200 Baht. Good views and location too.

Yeah, Mercure is right on the yellow bus line to Lanna Golf Course, the Saturday horse race track, Mae Rim excitement, easy walk to Chang Puek Gate and market and general entrance to Old City.

Hotels in Chiang mai is more a matter of taste then a matter of money, for half the price you have lovely places, while some in your price range are not nice at all or have boring locations.

This is my favorite, very relaxed and in the heart of the old city, very quiet place. http://www.agoda.com/mandala-house/hotel/chiang-mai-th.html

The Naga is fantastic, higher price range but great experience.

Thanks, I will look at Greenhill hotel. I don't understand your comment; "There are many great ones." Do you mean there are other hotels on the area?

To: Kaptainrob

Thanks Kaptainrob, Actually, Mecure was one of the first hotels I looked at on one of the hotel sites. There were conflicting views about it so I wasn't sure if it was acceptable. I will have another look at it and again thanks for taking the time to answer.

Thanks for the e-mail and I will check out their website

To thailandsam

Thanks for the recommendation, it seems to be a nice place, did you have any minor problems and is the breakfast any good?

To: Mcffee

Thanks Mcffee. I am looking at it right now and it seems to be a very nice place, how was the bed, was it a hard or soft bed?

It's not as luxurious as Naga, Amora or Raming but more suitable if you have a car. Accommodation is spacious and clean, just a little tired.

I've been staying at the DuangTawan for a few years now, good value, excellent location near the Night Bazaar on Loi Kroh, plenty of nice eateries and transport in the vicinity.

If you're driving why stay in old city? Try searching on Airbnb

Here is the e-mail you posted to me...hope it helps clear up any confusion and again I am looking at this website and discussing it with my wife to see if it meets with her approval. Again, thanks for the website as we are not so familiar with Chiang Mai and we are from Bangkok.
