Chiang Mai Gate Hotel

This period was different because of the passing of the King.

We stayed at the Gate for 10 days in a deluxe room. Would not of liked to of stayed in anything less as room is quiet small. There was also no tea or coffee facilities available in room only in the larger suites which are quiet expensive for what you get. Back packers seem to flock to this hotel which is not an issue but speaks volumes about the appearance of the hotel. The hotel really needs to work on its appearance & some of the service desk staff are in need of some serious hospitality training.The Hotel itself is in dire need of a facelift we never used the lift as it opened into awfully rundown hallways and revolting stained carpet. Also the b'fast not too good & the doors to the b'fast area were glass and never cleaned in the 10 days we stayed yuk not very inviting. Other than that the pool is wonderful & the taxi drivers & tour guides at the hotel were really great, majority of staff lovely & helpful but some on the service desk really did let the hotel down. However I would stay again as every one deserves a 2nd chance & its feedback that helps this process, also fantastic position in nice area quiet , but not far from the old city also brilliant eats & markets around.

-Wifi problems in the room -Shower was noisy and hard to adjust-old plumbing -Aircon was noisy -Good location -Quiet area -Desk,house keeping and dining room staff very friendly and helpful

The hotel was nice and clean. The rooms are a bit old fashioned but comfortable. One thing that bothered me was when we left our luggage with the staff after we checked out. We left our belongings there because we were going on a day tour and didn't fly until the evening. When we returned our bags were sitting unattended in the lobby. We picked them up and walked out and straight into a taxi without anybody questioning us or asking to see a bag receipt. We could have taken all the bags that were on the floor and nobody would have said a thing. Just a small thing but maybe best to keep things with you instead of leaving them with the staff.

We would definitely stay here again. Nice hotel, and nice rooms. A little older but all in all, everything was in pretty good shape. They kept the room nice and clean for us. This place was about location for us. It was super convenient, easily able to walk into the middle of Chiang Mai to visit all the temples, and the street stalls they set up on the edge of the town square (super close). And for those that enjoy Thai massages like my husband and I did, there are a few cheap massage places within a few hundred yards of the hotel. It was nice to end our day with a relaxing (and cheap!) foot massage and then just walk across the street to our room :) The staff was friendly and helpful. They provided a free shuttle service for us to go to the Anusarn Night Market, and the Sunday Night Market, which was super helpful. Our stay also included free breakfast, which consisted of a decent buffet with a lot of options. The restaurant/lounge also had good appetizers (we didn't eat any other meals there). https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g293917-d546580-r372509058-Chiang_Mai_Gate_Hotel-Chiang_Mai.html#

Bathroom needs improvements (shower curtains were dirty, caulking was black, & water doesn't drain properly). Breakfast was good, staff were very accommodating.

Overall a great stay few minor cons.. Check my trip advisor review. I would stay here again for sure.

Situated far from the nite market, weekend market and town. Not an idea location, nothing much around the area. Lobby infested with mosquitoes. Decent room size and staff are polite.

Great location and very good value. We stayed in what looked like the recently refurbished rooms which were clean and comfortable and had a nice atmosphere, however there are areas of the hotel that do look a little dated. Hotel was close to most old town sights and there is a weekend night market 10mins away. Breakfast was good, but could have catered better for vegetarians. Staff were courteous. We would gladly stay here again.

Stayed here as part of a tour group. The first room was clean and nice although the beds were very uncomfortable. We then stayed a extra couple of nights and the room we were given was not very nice, the bathroom was terrible. Was fine for a couple of days as part of a tour but wouldn't stay for a holiday.
