The hotel is truly beautiful at night with its exterior lighting. Apart from the morning birdsong, the occasional dog bark, and a few vehicles outside, it's absolutely quiet. The service is excellent. Upon arrival, our luggage was immediately taken to our room. Our butler, Chang, was very helpful and patient. We took advantage of the private half-day tour with driver Tony, which was simply fantastic. He acted almost as a tour guide and gave us lots of tips about the city. He even helped us when we ordered takeaway food at the end of the tour—a small gesture, but one that was very helpful as the restaurant was somewhat remote and extended our travel plans. The drinks and snacks in the lobby were delicious. The rooms were a good size and well-appointed. The closets closed softly, which is a nice touch. There's a refrigerator and a freezer if you need to store anything. The lighting in the room created a cozy and intimate atmosphere. So, if you're looking for a bright and well-lit room, you should adjust your expectations. Unfortunately, there were mosquitoes in our room that bit us like crazy. We have no idea how they got in, as our room was in a secluded corner of the hotel and we hadn't opened any windows or doors. The biggest drawback was the location. Although the hotel is in the old town, it was far from the action. While you can get everywhere by taxi or Grab, a more central location in the old town would have been preferable. There's supposedly a gym, but that's misleading! We didn't use the pool, but the water looked very clear and clean. Nevertheless, it's a beautiful hotel, and I wish the owners much success.
We were pleasantly surprised by this hotel. It boasts a beautiful outdoor area, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the lovely weather. Our room was spacious and very comfortable, and the furnishings were of a higher quality than expected. We also appreciated the complimentary snacks at reception. The service was excellent – everyone was courteous, friendly, and always ready to help. The location was another highlight: close enough to easily reach most of the temples on foot, yet far enough from the center to avoid noise and enjoy a quiet, peaceful atmosphere. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and highly recommend this hotel.
The hotel has a lot of potential – there are only a few areas that could be improved. At the moment, I'd say it just barely meets the criteria of a five-star hotel, and that's mainly due to the excellent service from the reception team. The hotel is very clean, the pool is lovely, and the gym is adequate for basic fitness. Towels and complimentary bottled water are also provided, which is a nice touch. Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to use the spa area, as it was fully booked when I arrived. Some rooms feel a bit dark, but the furnishings are generally high-quality, everything is spotless, and the bed was extremely comfortable. A wider selection of snacks in the rooms would be an improvement (although this probably suited me, as I'm currently on a diet). The bath bombs weren't particularly good in my experience, and surprisingly, there were no pens in the room – just a thick pencil, and reception informed me that they don't provide any. The food in the restaurant was average, and the breakfast didn't look particularly appealing. I would have expected a bit more from a five-star hotel, although it does the job. Overall, the location is fantastic, the staff excellent, and the hotel clean and comfortable. I would definitely return if I were ever in Chiang Mai again.

Tips for visiting hotels and resorts
Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.
After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.
A pool villa doesn't have to be expensive.
Villas with private pools in Krabi, Hua Hin, and Chiang Mai are available from around 2,500–4,000 THB per night – a fraction of the prices in Bali or the Maldives. Search specifically for "pool villa" to discover hidden gems.
Location is more important than the stars
A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
