My wife, her sister and elderly mom stayed here for four nights in late May and the experience was wonderful. It was off season so hotel wasn't full and we paid an attractive rate of 2,300THB per night for a hotel that would cost five times as much in BKK. As others have noted, not near night market, but who... More

Me and my partner spent 5 nights in this very quite place; only... More

We have just stayed there for 5 nights and we were very happy. The staff are very friendly and helpful, always willing to help you with anything. Restaurant food was good. The rooms were very clean all with a great river views, my only complaint would be the shower leaks every time onto the bathroom floor which is quite annoying.... More

This was our first time staying at the Sheik Istana Hotel, we had great service and food. We would love to go back again because it was so relaxing. Rooms were very clean, king size bed and we had a patio facing the river. Also there were two pools. People in that area were very friendly, and it was just... More

The moment you arrive you know that you are truly in Chaing Mai, the staff are so beautiful (Siway) gentle and sharing.

We just spent two nights at this hotel (Feb 1-3) with our 13 month old and our 4 year old. I chose this hotel based on TA reviews, the fact that there was a pool and free parking and the special rates being offered on their website. The hotel looked interesting and we weren't disappointed.
