Simply AMAZING!!! This Thai manor functions as a boutique hotel in which rooms can be booked individually, but through Airbnb, our large group essentially rented the entire place (even though we did not use all available rooms). Location: The hotel is situated in a quiet neighborhood and though some restaurants and shops are within a 10–15-minute walk, old town Chiang Mai is about a 15-minute car ride away. Transport: A free shuttle is provided 3x a day and should be requested 30 minutes in advance. Return is simple & inexpensive via taxi, tuk tuk or Grab (Thai Uber – available through an app). Arrival: Transport to and from the airport was provided. We were greeted in the main lobby with cool cloths and chilled butterfly flower tea before being shown around. Slip-ons are best as guests must leave their shoes at the entrance and wear the slides provided to walk the remainder of the hotel. Hotel-provided slides are removed & left at the door prior to entering each room. Rooms: There is a quiet central koi pond around which several rooms are located; rooms on the second floor overlook the central pond. There is also a more private 2-room suite tucked in a corner on the second floor – like a mini-apartment with 2 completely separate rooms connected by a short hallway and more isolated from the main area. Each room is uniquely stunning and has its own special appeal (from massive bathroom suites to private verandas to large soaking tubs). Apple TV is available for those with a subscription. Snacks, coffee and bottled water are provided in each room and are refreshed daily. The beds are large and extremely comfortable (on the firm side which is our preference). Most, if not all, rooms had king size beds though the Airbnb description lists them as double. There are roosters on the adjacent property at the far end of the koi pond so if the early morning noise will bother you, choose a room on the opposite end – though the crowing couldn’t be heard inside the rooms. We personally loved this! Food: Breakfast is included, and it is requested that you place your order the night before. The menu includes waffles, pancakes, eggs, omelettes, fruit, Thai noodles and more, and the meal can be taken at any time of day. We sometimes had this meal for dinner when our tours left early in the day. A basket of hot breads (croissants, pastries, toast) is provided in addition to menu choices. There is coffee and several kinds of fresh juice too. We ate in a beautifully appointed seating area next to the koi pond, but staff readily accommodated us when we wanted to move to the indoor piano bar on chilly January mornings. Spa: We made much use of the spa area including steam room and sauna as well as booking massage therapists through the hotel. Though more expensive than local street massage facilities, these therapists were extremely professional and some of the best we have had in Thailand so worth the extra money. Plus, they come to you, so you can stumble out
This is the most comfortable hotel I have ever stayed in! Here you are the master! The hotel is very special, the service staff is very warm and the service is meticulous. Whether it's greeting, eating, or any other time, it is very ritual. We are taking children out, and there is also a seesaw kid who likes it very much. The hotel is not big, but the service you want can basically be satisfied at any time, very luxurious! We like it very much. As for whether it is partial, I think it's okay. The hotel can arrange car delivery at 10, 12, and 5 o'clock. The grab taxi farther away is also very convenient! The driver took us to the Saturday night market for free, and returned 130 baht TUTU car. Did not feel any inconvenience. Massage is also very comfortable! In short, this is a low-key luxury hotel worth staying at!
