Siripanna Villa Resort & Spa, Chiang Mai
Compare prices
Come here for the greenery and the quiet, not for convenience. This is a garden resort on Rat Uthit Road with Thai-styled architecture, two communal pools and a spa, and guests consistently rate the rooms above the shared spaces. The plunge pool rooms get particular praise for size and kit, though one guest found the pool jets dead and was offered the neighbour's pool instead, which tells you something about how things get fixed here. Doors, lighting, general upkeep in the common areas: several people mention wear. The private terraces are a genuinely good place to sit out the middle of the day.
Breakfast is buffet style with self-serve coffee, and it lands well with most people. Staff get warm reviews across the board. The real catch is location. Grab drivers are reluctant to come out here, so if you plan to be in and out of the old city every day, factor in the hassle or budget for the resort sorting your transport. One guest also flagged a loud paid New Year party that kept the whole hotel awake, so ask what's on if you're booking around a holiday.

Reviews from Google
We had a lovely stay. Although slightly rundown in bits of the common areas the rooms were spacious and well equipped. We stayed in the plunge pool room, the pool jets weren't working and we were offered the use of the neighbours pool which was odd when it was occupied, this didn't however spoil our stay as there were two other communal pools to choose from. Our private terrace by our plunge pool was a welcome spot to rest out of the midday sun. The two communal pools on the complex were beautifully landscaped with trees and lights around, were hardly used but we did come in Feb, so not sure how busy it would get in the height for summer. The buffet breakfast had a wide selection of western and Asian options to choose from. The location was perfect away from the busy old city, yet a short Grab/taxi ride away, not really walkable. But has a few cute restaurants and bar along the front and around the corner. We spent 200baht, in a cute family run restaurant across the road, for lunch and we ate loads! A cute cafe/restaurant a few minutes walk away. Definitely would recommend a stay here as good value for money and would most definitely return
At Siripanna Resort, we got a truly authentic Thai experience. We stayed 2 nights, as part of our holiday in Chiang Mai. Whether it’s a bit rustic-looking architecture or the Thai food offerings - the property met our expectations really well. Staff members are really welcoming and friendly. The location of the resort is convenient and quiet at same time— a characteristic of top properties in Chiang Mai. Some of the things—like doors and lighting fixtures—could use some maintenance work. The rest is all in perfect condition.
0/5 — Siripanna Resort Chiang Mai: A Hospitality Horror Show If there were a Hall of Fame for Hospitality Disasters, Siripanna Resort would be the poster child. I wish I were being dramatic, but no — this place delivered a full-blown lizard-to-the-face experience. Literally. I opened the tea kettle expecting, you know… water. Instead, a full lizard popped out like it was auditioning for Mission Impossible and launched itself onto my face. If I wanted wildlife encounters, I’d have booked a jungle trek, not a “resort.” And the service? Imagine sending a request into a corporate void where time stands still. You could grow old, retire, and watch your legacy mature before they show up. Absolutely unacceptable response times. The pool? Oh, that swampy situation deserves its own operational risk audit. Insects floating like garnish, murky water, and mosquitoes thriving as if the resort had pivoted to becoming an official breeding center. I half-expected WHO to show up with hazard suits. To top it off, the place has the audacity — the strategic misalignment — to charge premium prices for substandard, downright shabby service standards. Talk about negative ROI. Bottom line: Overpriced, underperforming, and genuinely unsafe. If you value your sanity — and your face — please deploy your travel budget elsewhere.
