Guest Reviews
- Blake (8/5): - This property is nice and basic. I don’t believe it’s the top 10 hotels to stay in chiang mai but it done the job
- Hong kun (6/5): - 1) My first time staying at star hotel where service told me I’m limited to two bottles of water and you have to pay to get more. 2) power went out in my premier room and I got a downgrade to a smaller room, all other hotels I’ve been to either same grade or upgrade. 3) the smaller room’s cup is very dirty.
- Cynthia (10/5): - Loved this property. Fantastic ambiance, great rooms, helpful staff. Would definitely come back. Breakfast was awesome as well.
- Barbara (8/5): - The hotel was beautiful. The only thing that spoiled the experience were the tiny ants in one of the rooms that were even on the bed. The staff were receptive and sprayed the room when we told them about it, but it did not eliminate this problem completely. The buffet was good and worth paying a little extra for. The location was excellent.
- Margit (10/5): - Really great location. Did a lot of walking around.
- REN (10/5): - Love the place and location, so close to everything but still very quiet and peaceful. The staff were very friendly.
- paulbirtwistle (10/5): Fabulousvin Every Way. - We were staying in the Away Vegan Resort Thrapae which did not really suit so tried this place just down the road. What a find. Fantastic food, service and atmosphere even with the storms. Ì have an allergy to mushrooms so the chef made me spring rolls without mushrooms. Nothing was too much trouble. Going to tell our travel agent to book here rather than the vegan resort [see my separate review on Away vegan retreat. Thanks to all the staff for looking after us.
- April (10/5): - I didn’t receive any benefits
- karim (10/5): absolutely fabulous - I spent a very good time in this hotel. My room was spacious, well furnished with everything needed. Would definitely come back another time. Thks to the staff for their kindness.
- Dannis (8/5): - The property is located close enough to walk to everything! The breakfast was decent but could be easily missed. The gym is lackluster as its just treadmills abd a few dumbells. The pool is nice and he staff are great!
- Nicole (10/5): - Very clean. Lovely staff and pretty rooms.
- Tee Toy (8/5): - Like the hotel style, the internet speed is faster than Singapore!
- Scott (10/5): - Wonderful hotel in every way!
- John-Michael (10/5): Awesome stay and location - Super new and clean hotel. Comfy beds. Excellent location. Would stay again!
- Sunshine64791893123 (10/5): Perfect stay in Chiang Mai! - Perfect stay at De Chai The Deco Hotel! The location is excellent—within walking distance of everything. The hotel was very clean, and the rooms were spacious and luxurious. Breakfast was great, offering a variety of options, including pancakes, toast, omelets, fruits, vegetables, and more. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended
- Martin (8/5): - Nice hotel, clean and comfortable
- Afzal (8/5): - Not bad for the price , location is excellent
- Nguyen (10/5): - Excellent Boutique hotel with may room options and a nice modern design.
- Kelly (10/5): - Very nice hotel with lovely, helpful staff. Great central location so easy walking distance to shops, bar, restaurants, and markets. Beautiful rooms. Very spacious and clean. Would highly recommend
- Stephen (10/5): - Good location nice breakfast attentive staff
- Nicole (6/5): - When we initially arrived we were a little underwhelmed with our room and had an issue, but the staff was very nice and accommodating and switched us rooms. Location was great and was a nice quiet area, but easy to walk around to markets and restaurants. Over all it was a good stay for price point.
- Chrisann (10/5): - The best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Staff were friendly, attentive and always ready to answer any questions we had. The breakfast was 100/10. Absolutely phenomenal breakfast.Options were endless and even then the staff were attentive to our needs and cleaned tables as soon as they were done. Beautiful decor and even better location! Room was clean and would stay again. I just left and every other hotel I have started to make comparisons.
- Rohini (10/5): - The property is very close to the old town and shops markets and restaurants . Even though so close yet it is actually located in a quiet side street .
- Aquanirvana (8/5): Nice stay! - Very nice hotel in great quiet location yet close to everything by walking. Nice shower and bed. Breakfast was good with an omelette/egg making station. Staff were helpful. Pool was refreshing. “Gym” was disappointing. Could have been cleaner but I have high standards. Overall, a very good value.
- Yesica (8/5): - It’s a very comfortable property rooms are clean and spacious, we chose the option with breakfast included, the breakfast is amazing. You literally don’t have to have any lunch with that kind of a breakfast.. service could improve a little bit, front desk people not so communicative. Overall, a great experience.
- Matthew (10/5): - Great location and friendly, helpful staff. Breakfast was very good with a great choice - excellent omelettes! Some aspects of the room were a little tired but mostly great.
- 464erickr (10/5): Wonderful stay - Wonderful. Room was very clean and updated. Bed was comfortable. Lovely amenities. The room had a refrigerator and safe. They stocked water bottles every day. The gym was small but had what I needed. The pool was wonderful to cool off in. The location was perfect. Close to everything but a block off the Main Street, so it was quiet. Breakfast was perfect. Lots of options and fresh egg station. We would definitely stay here again.
- branden (10/5): - Had a great time
- John (8/5): - The hotel was clean, staff were friendly and beds were cozy. It is close to the old town and a walkable distance to many places.
- DOUGLAS (8/5): - Good hotel with high ratings for room size, cleanliness, and bed comfort but the underwhelming breakfast takes this from 5 to 4 star rating. The breakfast had minimal local Thai options but included chicken nuggets and spaghetti. Fruit was nice but of all our SE Asia hotel stays, this was by far the least impressive. We only ate there the first day and opted to leave the hotel for other locations. Staff was just ok, as well, with minimal interaction. Pool area was nice but limited to 4 lounge chairs. Location was premium, however, being 2 blocks from everything in the heart of the east side of city.
- Campbell (4/5): Disappointing - Staff weren't welcoming like in other Asian hotels we have visited and just watched as I moved three suitcases out front of hotel to taxi Was raining whilst in Chiang Mia and they had shelter at side of hotel, front awning and in front of tiny bar at front of hotel, all leaked alot and weren't for for purpose. Generally the hotel was ok, but would have expected more at this price point.
- David (8/5): - At first glance, the staff isn’t very welcoming, but after a few days, they become more friendly. Otherwise, the hotel is very good, very clean, very well located… the breakfast is excellent, and the rooms are very comfortable, though they could use darker curtains. Otherwise, the decoration throughout the hotel, in the restaurant and rooms, is very beautiful.
- Tony (10/5): - Clean and great location. Restaurants and bars nearby.
- William (10/5): - Great place, very good staff ! Lovely !
- 33el123 (8/5): A great place to stay in Chiang Mai - A very nice hotel at Chang Mai. We stayed there for 3 nights. The location is great, very close to the main road. just 10min walk to the night bazaar. The breakfast was fine. Not very rich, but tasty and enough. The rooms were big, comfortable and clean. They kept us the bags for 2 nights while we were on a trip to Chian Rai. A very good service and friendly staff. I can recommend this hotel.
- Kelvin (10/5): - Beautiful hotel
- Milano76 (6/5): Unfortunately some downfalls - I wanted to give this hotel a 4 star rating but unfortunately there were just too many small downfalls. The Pros The hotel is nice and new and modern. The rooms are great, clean, modern, well appointed and spacious. The location is also great, with only a 5-10 minute walks to all the main streets with shops, restaurants etc... The Cons The Wi-Fi dropped out when you left the room.... so every time we re-entered the room we had to sign in again. The hotel doesnt have any green tea (at all). Very strange for a hotel in Asia. The TV has no English / International channels. Not even a news channel ! The evening meal restaurant quality was fine however it is up to 4 times more expensive than a restaurant on the street outside! In my opinion this is just way over the top. Perhaps this is the reason the restaurant was completely empty every night. The staff were friendly but mostly just hanging around on their phones and not very attentive. In summary this is a great hotel with great potential but just has room for improvement.
- Rupen (8/5): - Nice rooms, good location for tourist sites. Breakfast average. Reasonable rates in low season.
- Pauline (8/5): Chaing Mai newer hotel in good location - Nice new hotel. Thought I had pool view but looked out window over hot tub. Very good breakfast buffet. Friendly helpful staff. Good location.
- Julie (6/5): - The hotel is in a great area and it is a clean, welcoming hotel with nice facilities. Breakfast was also great. We had a 2-bedroom suite for 2 adults & 2 teenagers. The room configuration was quite poor - it was 2 rooms plus a bathroom connected only by a hall. No common area which was really suitable for 4. Fine for 2 nights but not as spacious as other 2-bedroom suites booked in our travels.
- Jay (10/5): - Our go to hotel when in Chiang Mai…
- Marc-Andre (10/5): - Very nice & clean hotel. Well situated about 10min walk from shopping & dining & night market.
- Savanna (10/5): - I really enjoyed staying here. The location was close to all attractions and was not on the Main Street so it was quite at night time.
- jaygee80 (8/5): Good location - We stayed for 4 nights in a two bed suite. The rooms were clean and well equipped but a couple of niggles. The air-con was very noisy and there was a gap above the headboard in the main bedroom so you could see into the bathroom and vice versa. There's an inventory with price list in each room. You have to wait when checking out for housekeeping to check the room contents and we were delayed because of a missing laundry bag which we'd moved from a drawer and they thought we'd taken. Allow a few extra minutes to check out than you might expect! Adequate choice at breakfast. The pool was bigger than we expected from other reviews and photos and we found the temperature perfect for the 30 degree days. Staff were friendly enough and the location was great for exploring the old city and night bazaar area. Would happily stay again if I needed to accommodate the family in a 2 bedroom suite but if travelling as a couple I'd probably try elsewhere.
- MEIR (6/5): - All I can say stay a way from this hotel the only thing good it’s location Breakfast very very limited
- CChax (8/5): Nice hotel but needs a bit more attention to detail - Overall had an enjoyable stay - just think there are a couple of things that could be changed. I liked the rooms - they were very clean and the maid service was always very good. Really liked how some waters were provided daily for free, with coffee, tea and Oreo’s (very nice touch). Staff seemed friendly and like they wanted to help. The location of the hotel is great. However, I thought breakfast was lacking - maybe that’s because I am vegetarian but there was a very poor choice for me. My partner who eats meat really liked it. The hotel laundry service is extortionate/ walk five minutes down the road and do it yourself. The pool is also minute - 4 sunbeds and a freezing cold pool. Good hotel but a little more attention to detail would make it a 5/5 in my eyes
- Matthew (6/5): - The staff were polite and friendly. The hotel is A bit dated, the rooms are nice and modern though. Overall a few weird things you have to connect the wifi every time for the tv to work, the gym is deceivingly small, I went down for the $400 baht breakfast (a pretty high price) was very limited options and Nescafé coffee. Overall a good experience but only a 3 star
- Jacqueline (8/5): - Staff were nice, place was very clean and of good quality. Location is good. Breakfast for vegetarians is poor and laundry is very expensive
- 520mayay (2/5): Terrible hotel, terrible service. Unfriendly staff - Terrible hotel, terrible service. Unfriendly staff rooms Terrible rooms, strange, not well distributed. Not worth the money, not worth even less. not recommended at all. It’s Like they don't want the customers… big shock I would rather sleep on the street and not in this horrible place .
- Sunida_Margarita (8/5): Nice decor hotel with good breakfast - Stay for a night to tour around Chiangmai city. The room is clean, spacious and nice. We book triple room and get one big king size bed and one single bed (a proper bed, not a folding bed). In addition, there are free water and amenities for 3 persons. Breakfast is excellent. There is an egg stall where you can order hot omelet or other egg menu. The location is also convenient to access to other tourist spots.
- Cord (10/5): - The property is is in a safe and quiet area. If you want nightlife, don't gotoVhiang Mai. The staff is very nice
- keiko (10/5): - A staff was very helpful and kind
- Gary (10/5): - Tucked away off of Tha Phae Road and about a 5 minutes walk to Tha Phae Gate. Excellent location. A newer building compared to the rest in the area and old town.
- Mary (10/5): - This hotel is almost perfect. Staff is super friendly and helpful, breakfast buffet all so good and great variety, rooms street comfy with great AC, and the listed amenities are accurate. Location is right off main streets with easy walk to the old city. Highly recommend!!
- Javier (10/5): Great hotel in Chiang Mai - Amazing service by the staff very kind and helpfull. The pool, is great also tge breakfeast buffet is awesome!!
- Jose Antonio (6/5): - The property wasn’t bad ,but We were expecting a little bit more from them
- Michelle (10/5): - Excellent hotel. Walkable to many attractions. Staff were extremely helpful and polite.
- Clare (10/5): Great hotel - A lovely hotel, very well positioned for easy access to the town. Beautifully clean and lovely rooms. Good breakfast too. We’d recommend.
- Brandon (10/5): - Nice hotel with very friendly staff. Close and walking distance to many trendy areas of the city. Some noted wear and tear in the room, despite being a newer building.
- Keith (10/5): The De Chai Hotel - De Chai is tucked away down a Soi just off the. Tha Tapae road and a short distance from the Tha Tapae gate which leads into the old city. Rooms are large spacious and well appointed. Breakfast is excellent and varied for the different clients and nationalities. Would highly recommend this hotel for couples.
- Peter (10/5): Great location - Nice hotel in a great location.
- Chin Teck (8/5): - Asked to upgrade room but not given.
- Fahim (8/5): - Staff were super slow. Location and rooms were great.
- Jose (10/5): - Great hotel a walking distance from party nightlife great food options and many temples to visit in the area.
- Harry (8/5): A very enjoyable family stay - Very friendly staff and good location and services.
- michaeldI7531PZ (10/5): Great hotel at great price - Great hotel all round. The staff were very welcoming, you needed anything and they would look into it for you. The room wzs bif enough, kept clean everyday. Bottle of water and biscuits available free of charge. Even the beer was only 50 bhat. Breakfast was good. Loved the variety, definitely not the same thing everdyday. Loved it. Location was great. Walking distance to restaurants, street food, Sunday market is a must. There is roti being sold a few mins away and they the best we ever had in Thailand. She was awarded bib gourmet from Michelin from the past few years. You cannot NOT try it if you are around. She works night time only. There is a tourist information booth off the main street too where we booked our activities. For that price range, look no further.
- Ward (10/5): - Property is newer building with decent breakfast and pool. Don’t get late afternoon sun in pool area, but good midday sun. Very good location. 5 minute walk to Old City and Night Market and other interesting sights and scenes!
- Kimberly (10/5): - Very clean and comfortable. A more modest breakfast but good for our needs.
- CatharinaStockholm (8/5): Clean, modern but two-bedroom is a squeeze. - Three-day stay with family of four in this modern, clean hotel with great location just east of the Chaing Mai city wall. Really good breakfast and a special mention of the coffee which may be the best I have had in Thailand. We lived in a two-bedroom unit which featured a large bathroom but two very small bedrooms. There was literally no place to open suitcases and definitely no place to sit other than on the beds. When staying for more than a night, this becomes an issue. The pool features only four sun loungers and is therefore a bit difficult to enjoy. The gym closes at 7 PM which was a drawback for family members used to exercising in the evening. Teenagers thought wi-fi was on the weak side. Other than this, fine - and reasonably priced.
- Ronald (8/5): - Often service was slow or not around at the outdoor bar or swimming pool
- myching (6/5): Cheery & super helpful staff. Otherwise poor value - The plus point of this place is the staff - who were cheery & super helpful. Had to use the shower at the pool area as I was early for check in - the entire pool/ gym area felt quite small and underequipped so it's not worth the premium if you're going for this. The room, while spacious & clean, felt poorly designed (in terms of use of the space). Not to mention that the air conditioning, at high was woefully weak (thank goodness for the ceiling fan). TV channels are also all in Thai language. There was some motorcycle noises at night, but otherwise I slept quite well. Not great value for money, won't return.
- Daniel (10/5): - Great breakfast and location. Rooms are nice
- Sarineh (4/5): - We found the reception staff indifferent and rude when we first arrived late in the evening, although other staff on other days were friendly enough to say hi and bye as we walked through through reception. The room was musty and the bed damp when we arrived which seemed to have happened from the air con being on all day. I slept on my own sheets the first night as staff couldn't do anything about the bed as it fully booked that night. There is a large construction next door, so we woke to construction noise each morning. There was a large wall of windows, but no sheer curtain, so we couldn't even let the sunshine in as our room faced the opposite hotel, and one of the windows opened fully from floor to ceiling, on the second story (huge drop! Make sure you check this if you have kids) Breakfast is 400baht per person, but there's lots of cafes in the old city that are available. Location was heralded as good, close to the Thapae gate, but I found that there were more than ample other hotels in better locations in the old city. Overall, the hotel looked designed for instagram as it looked good online, but it lacked the soul I booked it for. Even the pool looked good, but there was no sun in the afternoon as it was tucked away into the hotel. Pity the hotel didn't have a nice vibe to suit Chang Mai as it could have added to our visit. Lucky the city itself is enough to make the experience great :)
- Evette (10/5): - De Chai the Deco! From staff to rooms to cocktails, this hotel is hands down such an amazing property. Located close to night life and a great variety of food options, stay here was top notch; would definitely stay again.
- Tahsina Farah (10/5): Superb hotel for its price - The hotel is excellent. The staff were very helpful, welcoming and cordial. The amenities in the room were excellent. The room is modern and spacious. Breakfast had many items, which tasted good.
- John (10/5): - Nice breakfast.
- Arada (10/5): - Super clean and modern. Would definitely stay here again. So walkable to Night Bazaar, bars, restaurants. Only down side is the slightly dark street the hotel is on but we always felt safe. Good value for the money.
- Peter (10/5): - Lovely hotel, clean and modern. There is not much space to sun bathe by the pool but that didn't bother me.
- Paul (10/5): - Friendly staffs , room get clean daily.
- Tom (8/5): - This hotel was great! The decor in the lobby was top notch. The upkeep on the property was really good as well. Looks very new and bedrooms were very spacious. The only downside was that the pool was pretty small and the gym was really not a gym except for some cardio equipment and one dumbbell set. Besides that I would highly recommend this place because it’s central to many night markets and old town.
- Nguyetha (10/5): - The staffs were very welcoming and friendly. But the internet in the room didn’t work.
- Yashama (10/5): - We had an amazing stay at the deco. The room and hotel itself was beautiful and very clean. The complementary amenities were great and the daily breakfast buffet was delicious with a variety of options. The location is very convenient with plenty of restaurants and activities around as well as being walkable to so many of the temples. Overall it was wonderful!
- Hoa (8/5): - The property is clean, in a quiet neighborhood for relaxing. It is easy to walk to wherever we needed as it’s still quite close to the main street.
- Austin (10/5): - My wife and I were very pleasantly surprised at how nice, clean, modern, and comfortable this place was. We have 0 complaints, and would definitely stay here again. The location is very quite and a 3-5 minute walk to the main streets. If you stay here, you won’t regret it.
- Kevin (10/5): - De Chai was a great experience. The property was beautiful and the staff was helpful. A great gem in Chiang Mai.
- Patrick (10/5): - Excellent hotel - highly recommended. Super polite and helpful staff. Room was spotless. Location is close to proper local restaurants.
- Verified traveler (6/5): 9/10 recommend every time. Clean, safe area. - I’ve stayed with Dr Chai in two of their hotels numerous times. Great breakfast, immaculate rooms, awesome amenities. I was disappointed at De Chai Deco that I pay for an outside membership allowing me one upgrade and some amenities like late check out. I was tentatively allowed one hour after checkout and zero mention of upgrades. It is Monday and there are minimal people here. This time I was placed in a room facing the loud street, no black out curtains as before so the sun was bright at 6am and a bad smell I cannot identify. There are odor remover in the room which I’ve not had on any room before. Not happy with this room compared to every other, but exhausted from work and didn’t ask to change it.
- Nkechi (10/5): - Brief but wonderful stay. Staff friendly and the hotel has great upkeep with staff constantly cleaning which is a big deal for me. I enjoyed my stay!
- Eyal (10/5): - I like it overall but every time I noticed that the cleaning crew moved my bag (not for cleaning) they probably went through my stuff and found nothing to take - That I don’t appreciate it like.
- Javier (10/5): - I was impressed with the service ,the staff and the facility. Honesty ,it’ was a pleasure to stay on this hotel.
- Pathompat (8/5): - ห้องพักสะอาด บริการดี อาหารเช้าในช่วง Covid-19 เป็นการสั่งอาหารทีละจาน แบบบุฟเฟ่ ทำให้อาหารที่ได้รับ ร้อน สดใหม่ รสชาติดีตามมาตรฐานโรงแรม
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very clean, beds were comfy and the staff was excellent
- Verified traveler (10/5): Modern gem near old town. - New build. Near old city wall. In a quaint and cozy Soi (alley). 2 minute walk to Thanone street. Lots of cool shops and easy transportation by “song theow - route taxi”. I would definitely stay there again.
- Steven M (10/5): - Good location. Only a few minute walk to everything. Great breakfast. Something new to try every morning. And the customer service was excellent. Very clean hotel.
- Mike (10/5): Overall a good stay. - Likes - location, breakfast, pillow, shower, interior design. Dislikes - Unfriendly senior male staff who serves at morning breakfast, he is always pulling a long face.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Over priced for what it is! - The hotel lacks a character and small. Swimming pool is very small and cold. You can’t open the windows and the AC is either to cold or too warm, which makes sleeping very difficult. Cleaness and comfort of the room and beed is ok. Location is bad! In a very small dark alley which makes you think twice if you want to walk outside alone at night. breakfast is good! In general I found the price too expensive for what they offer and the comfort.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Clean and affordable with friendly and helpful staff
- Riley (4/5): - The hotel is in an alley of town by a drug detox center. The hotel is nice but getting there was a bit scary. First night, I discovered my room was dirty and they upgraded me to a suite. The room was nice. But, service in terrible. A bunch of kids run the front desk and they are more worried about Facebook than taking care of customers. You have to call several times to get simple things as towels. They have everything in the room inventoried and prices for everything. When I checked out they made me wait 15 minutes while they inventoried the room. They had a card on file and I did not see the need to wait. I would not stay at this hotel again and I can not say I would recommend to anyone based upon my experience.
- Kopkun (8/5): - Nice newer property still in very good condition. We had multi-day stay this trip and have stayed here previously. Rooms are of a good size, clean and well maintained. Our only complaint relates to the breakfast area. More care should be taken with the cleanliness of the tables and placemats. Particularly on the porch area the rattan tables looked less than clean. Only the other hand, the lady preparing omlettes was excellent as were the omlettes. Overall an very nice hotel in a great location. I'm sure that we will return.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - this hotel is not unique at all, just the name only
