Reviews from Google
We just had the most lovely four night stay at Chiang Mai Kiri Hotel and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting Chiang Mai. The hotel is in a fantastic location within the Old Town, meaning many temples, cafés, and attractions are within walking distance. There are other livelier areas in Chiang Mai, so we did use taxis occasionally, but getting around was easy and convenient. Breakfast is not included as standard, however you can pay an additional 250 Thai baht per person and it is absolutely worth it. The breakfast was exceptional value for money. You order from a menu and can choose as many dishes as you like for that price, with a great variety of options available. We did not find it expensive at all for the quality and amount of food provided. The staff at reception were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always happy to help with anything we needed, which made our stay even more enjoyable. It was also lovely to have a pool to cool off in. The only slight downside was that the sunbeds are mostly shaded and there are only around six of them, so it can be difficult to get a bed during hotter, busier times. If you are specifically looking for a hotel where you can spend all day relaxing in the sun by the pool, this may not be the ideal choice. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Chiang Mai.
We had a lovely 3-night stay at the KIRI hotel. The hotel is in a great location - only a short distance from the night market, popular restaurants & bars. The staff were always so friendly and helpful too. Our room was very clean and modern (the only downside would be that there was no real storage space, but we were happy living out of our suitcases)! Highly recommend⭐️
I loved this place. It was so clean and modern. The room was great, and the staff were so nice. The location was 10/10. We could walk to everywhere we needed to go, and it was super close to the sunday night market, restaurants, cafes and bars. Do not hesitate to book this place.

Tips for Visiting Hotels & Resorts
Compare OTAs and Direct Rates
Always check the hotel's own website after finding a rate on Agoda or Booking.com. Many Thai properties offer a best-rate guarantee or throw in perks like free breakfast when you book direct.
Pool Villa Doesn't Mean Expensive
Private pool villas in Krabi, Hua Hin, and Chiang Mai start around 2,500–4,000 THB/night — a fraction of Bali or Maldives prices. Search specifically for 'pool villa' to surface hidden gems.
Location Matters More Than Stars
A well-located 3-star hotel often beats a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, staying near a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the beach you actually want matters most.
