This was my third stay at Gategaa and I’m hard pushed to choose anywhere else. It is beautifully decorated. The rooms have everything you need. It’s super comfortable. The breakfast is excellent. I appreciate the small touches, the teas available all day for example. Last but not least the staff are fabulous, so much so that I asked their names so I could give them some well deserved recognition…so shout out to Tangmo, Tan, Jin, Tini, Nook and Nuan…all excellent and made the stay special.

Don’t lose your key card! Had to pay a small fee, but hey, that was my fault.

I’ve stayed at this hotel three times already, and I can honestly say it’s the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at in Thailand—and I’ve been to Thailand four times. This place is simply perfect. It’s worth flying to Thailand just to stay here. The rooms are luxurious, clean, and cozy. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming. The breakfast is delicious and generous. I loved the view of the greenery outside, and we even saw cute frogs, squirrels, and beautiful birds. The location is great—close to the night market and just a short drive from anywhere you want to go in Chiang Mai. I wholeheartedly recommend treating yourself to a stay at this hotel!

Nothing—everything was perfect.

Tucked away in a nondescript, winding Soi on the edge of bustling Chiang Mai, this charming boutique property is an oasis. As a frequent (often weary) world traveler, I appreciated the exceptional attention to detail in my second-floor Studio Deluxe. High ceilings, 42 m² of comfortable space, a cozy, kitchenette, an ornate (and useful) ceiling fan, an outdoor bathtub (!), , a wonderfully curated bathroom (a scale, stylish bathrobes, comfortable slippers) and a host of convenient in-room accoutrements: an outsized TV, adapters, telephone chargers, a practical mini bar… and included in my spectacularly, reasonable rate was an exquisite breakfast in which one can indulge indoors – or out on a cozy patio. You will need your GPS to get there but worth the trip.

Leaving it.

breakfast - good pool - nice and cosy room - nice and beautifully decoration. the best part is the reception area, with convenient seat and fridge with goodies like fruits, yogurt, biscuit and unlimited coffee supply....

my room has sewer smear..... hopefully they can fix it. room 234... free bicycle is a feature in this hotel, however need to fix the damage bicycle...

Despite the location which is quite a distance (20 min walk from old town), it was a very good experience stay thanks to relaxing and calm surrounding, very well maintained rooms and facilities. Very helpful and friendly staff from reception to crew in restaurant serving breakfast. I was upgraded to their biggest room with bath tub in the balcony, huge bed room with kitchen, very nice bathroom. In addition, the breakfast in the morning was super good (2 choices of western set breakfast and/or simple yet yummy Thai buffet breakfast). Roof top pool was interesting despite too hot weather during dry season when i visited.

It's not the fault of the hotel, but location (most of the time time i took Grab bike to and from old town) is a kind of trade off to the relaxing and calm surrounding.

Location was great - less than a 10 minute car ride into Old City, but quiet enough away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas. ALL of the staff were amazing and could not do enough for us. Pool area was lovely, and breakfast every day was great - fantastic selection of continental items with fresh fruit every morning as well as cooked breakfast if you so wished.

Only complaint for me is the beds were a little hard for my personal preference, however the actual bedding itself (duvet and pillows) were extremely comfortable.

The breakfast was really good, we loved the assortment and it was well-arranged. We had an early flight out, and the staff was so nice to prepare us a simple breakfast bag, nothing fancy, but the gesture was perfect. The room was spacious enough for 2 people, with a table and long cushioned bench—all very nicely done and the layout was thought through. It is at the back of a busy street, so it was located in a quiet surrounding which was perfect for us. so we could really enjoy the calm and quiet

The rooms and hall are not soundproof, you can hear the other hotel guests going up/down the stairs, and doors slamming. We could hear the footsteps in the other rooms, that is a bit unfortunate.

The breakfast buffet is extensive and caters for many different tastes. There's also a "cereal" bar that is available all day for a little snack along with some yogurt, cookies, Thai sweets, coffee and teas. I was upgraded to a suite which was very much appreciated and I enjoyed the private, deep bathtub on my terrace. The suite also had a small kitchen and coffee/tea making equipment--they even provided free water and milk! All of the staff were very nice and welcoming. I enjoyed the sunset on the rooftop with the (small) swimming pool and also used the bikes (they even have helmets!!) early one morning to go see the nearby temple at sunrise with the monks taking alms and chanting. I would stay here again!

The rooftop pool area looks a bit forgotten. They could replace the fake grass and clean it up a bit, but the pool itself is very nice and a great spot to enjoy the mountain views and relax. There was a European couple smoking up on the rooftop pool area despite no smoking signs. That was unfortunate, but the hotel can only do so much if people don't respect the rules.

We loved our stay here. The daily breakfast was so nice and they had different options each day. The room was very comfortable - nice sheets, comfy bed, etc. The rooftop pool was just lovely too. We liked that it was in a tucked away location so it was quiet, yet within easy walking distance to attractions. And the staff were all super helpful, and they actually seem to communicate with each other to meet the needs of their guests (e.g. remembering my sunflower allergy, coordinating a small repair in our room, etc). Would definitely stay here again and recommend.

Everything was amazing! The room was just as shown in the photos. A very nicely designed, small hotel with everything you need. The staff is very friendly and professional. They have a lovely swimming pool for relaxing. The bathroom products were fantastic, especially the body lotion. The breakfast was very good, and throughout the day, they offer free snacks and quality tea. On our last day, they gave us a little package of snacks after checkout. They also offer free bicycles, which we used on our first day. Absolutely amazing!

The location is not the best. You need to walk at least 20 minutes to reach the city. They do provide bicycles, but it's not very safe to cycle, so you need to be very careful. If you don’t mind walking a bit, which wasn't a problem for us, the Gategaa is definitely the best
