Royal Peninsula Hotel Chiang Mai

You can see this hotel would have been nice about 20 years ago. It is still comfortable, spacious and was clean, but overall it is quite rundown. The 3.5 star rating is maybe a bit ambitious given it's current state. The staff were not particularly friendly, and were not helpful at all when trying to arrange a taxi or tuk tuk, quoting prices over double what we actually paid when we worked it out on our own. Overall it was decent value, and definitley nice enough, just don't have your expectations too high.

The room was spacious and clean. It was cleaned every day and free water was provided. The wi fi was very poor. The free buffet breakfast was great. Fruit options could have been better. The pool was a nice touch but only 4 sun loungers. Fitness centre is pathetic.

The hotel is in good condition. Air con worked well and room was clean and comfortable. Staff was very friendly and spoke English well. Boo Boo the in house tour agent was very knowledgable, friendly and spoke great English. For any tour bookings definitely go see her in the lobby. Pool was nice, not enough chairs but clean and cool. They have bag storage and will let you use the facilities when waiting for check in or after check out.

Very nice room for a great price and not far from all the action.

The room was very dark and dingy, making it hard to see all our belongings and whether or not it was clean. The bathroom had mosquitos. The overall feel was tired and outdated. We were given 2 bottles of water a day and no more than this, unless we bought drinks via room service or the hotel restaurant. Food and drinks at the hotel were pricey in comparison to most places in the city centre and local area. The pool is very small and gets limited shade throughout the day. The tours desk was actually very helpful (Boo in particular gave very good advice) and we booked a fabulous thai cooking class and sustainable elephants trip here. We also rented bikes one day from town and this meant the journey from the hotel to town was just under 10 minutes. The hotel were happy for us to chain the bikes up in the car park overnight.

The staff & service is friendly. The room is spacious & mine had a nice mountain view from the balcony. The location is good & the old city is a 10 min walk. Overall the hotel is good value for money.

nice stay

Excellent location. Price paid exceeded expectations.

Nice & clean room. Car park is fine. It's located in the quiet area. Suit for the family and your kids.

Check in was easy and quick. They were helpful and friendly. Location was good too, however it was a 5/10 min walk into the old city depending on you're pace. The room we were in was massive however it was really dated. Shower was almost a trickle and was very slippy. Bathroom had quite a lot of mould around the sink. The pool was well maintained, only a few broken wooden slates around the decking area. Nevertheless I'd definitely stay here again.
