Great hotel option in Chiang Mai. When I stayed in early 2013 everything was brand new and spotless. Very tony and pleasing decor. Lots of attention to detail. Breakfast quite good. On a smaller lane; close to the Tapae gate and not far from night market. Welcoming and romantic atmosphere, great choice for couples. Staff was very professional. Would gladly... More

We had a fantastic stay at De Chai. The staff is incredibly warm and helpful and they offered plenty of tips and assistance throughout our visit. The room was very clean and comfortable and much bigger than expected. We enjoyed the breakfast selection each morning though the dining area is quite cozy and fills up fast. The spa was delightful... More

What a little gem this hotel is. The staff are very helpful and the rooms just wonderful. Huge comfortable bed, large ensuite and in a very quiet but handy street. Just a short stroll to the Sunday market and the regular night market. There is a little restaurant just up the road that serves beautiful cheap meals. Granted the pool... More

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights and thought it was a great value. The location is good, within a 10 minute walk of most areas-night bazaar, sunday walking street, and good restaurants. We stayed in the deluxe double and thought the room was very large and roomy. The room has a very modern design with unique Thai touches.... More

We loved this hotel. When the taxi turned off the main street and went down an alley we weren't sure what to expect but then we pulled up to the entrance and we were thrilled. It's relatively new. It has a small but beautiful reception area with relaxing water features, couches and welcome drinks while you wait to be checked... More
