The staff were fantastic! The owner oil was so helpful and pleasant. She helped with taxis and gave us suggestions about tours and was always smiling and happy. The room was big and had a shower and bathtub. It was in a good location for getting around and right next to the Saturday walking street. We walked everywhere and did the whole block of Old Town! The pool was cool but it was refreshing to cool off and hardly anyone used it, which was great for us. Very traditional architecture with original windows, doors and furniture. We enjoyed this hotel because it is family owned and very traditional.

Because the hotel was so close to the walking street, it was noisy to sleep. We had to sleep with ear plugs because of the traffic noise. We were fine with that, once we figured it out. We thought we booked a suite with a hot tub, but what the owner meant was a bath tub, not what we North Americans consider a hot tub, just keep this in mind. The rooms are dark, but there are lots of lights and the dark room helped us sleep. This hotel is good for the value but not a luxury hotel, if that's what you are looking for.

Fabulous property shown off to its best by the furnishing and decor. What you see in the photos is what you get. Very atmospheric. The location is excellent both for the old city and the Saturday night market. The owner Oil was very friendly and very helpful.

I really really wanted to give this property an excellent score but it was let down by its old torn bedding and towels. Both duvet covers were obviously old and well used indeed so well worn that the material had holes in them both around the edges and L shape rips on sides. The towels were grey and had holes in them. I asked for the duvet covers to be changed unfortunately only one was done. Sadly the linen let the place down.

I loved the décor and the quirkiness of the place. The grounds were gorgeous with a lovely area around the pool. With all the beautiful plants it was an oasis of calmness. The staff were super helpful and responsive. Nothing seemed too much trouble. I stayed in a suite which was very spacious and had facilities to make a hot drink as well as a nice balcony.

It was a little walk away from the main tourist trail, although safe to walk around after dark. The front entrance shuts at 8pm after which you can only enter through the back road. My room was close to the main street which is quite noisy with traffic. I made a suggestion to the manager to swap the room around so the bed faced the garden rather than the street.

The owner and staff was very helpful and friendly. I loved the spacious room's charme. There were less mosquitoes than expected as the door is not fully shot. The pool was amazing to escape the heat.

I only changed accommodation because I wanted to stay a bit more central as a solo female traveler. I didn't like the entrance to the hotel at night cause it seems far off and dark but I think it's just me. I doubt Chiang Mai is really unsafe so I think this hotel has a good location for solo travelers if you want your peace and quiet.

The staff were very friendly and very helpful throughout the stay. Very welcoming and made the effort to remember our names, which made it personalized. Rooms were very comfortable and clean. Loved the decor, was right beside the pool and listening to the water was very nostalgic. It was right in town and close to the markets, in fact one was held right outside on the road on the Saturday! Very helpful with tours and ensuring we download an app for cheaper transport to places. Thank you so much for our stay!

The only downfall which wasn't anything at all to do with accommodation itself and cannot be helped, is that the bath was huge (bonus for me) however not so helpful for my 73 year old mum who couldn't get in or out, so couldn't attend to her personal hygiene so easily. Personally I loved it though!

Beautiful space, very quiet, great location

It was a genuine old colonial house with a lot of care & thought put into it. The landscaping was lush, tropical & simply beautiful. The owner/proprietor was incredibly helpful assisting to get best priced massages & day trips. I forgot to bring a mob phone adapter & Oil actually drove me around at 8am to get one! It also has a homely feel & has an excellent location for night markets, food markets etc

Having to leave the place! It's a real gem & l'll be recommending it to friends.

The most gorgeous hotel, I loved my stay here and felt very relaxed for my first 3 days in Thailand. The host was so welcoming and accommodating to my flight delays. She was very kind and I could tell she cared about how I was doing as a solo woman. The pool area is gorgeous like a jungle. Thank you!

it was quite dark in the rooms but I was expecting that as I saw in the photos

The front desk lady was amazing. We texted her at 6 in the morning, as our bus arrived 1hour too early in Chiang mai. We could already enter and rest in a room, before our room was free. Moreover, the lady wants to help you with everything, she will give you tips and book services with discounts for you. She was the one that made our stay amazing. The room was enormously spacious and the style of the entire hotel is amazing, it looks so cool! There’s a really good coffee place across the street. Walking distance from night walking street and city centre.

Entrance of the hotel was around the corner, not on the busy street, as you would expect from Google Maps. Make sure to walk around the corner to the entrance of the hotel. Pool was very cool, but we still liked it Our room was somewhat dark, which is nice at night, but during the day you needed to turn on the lights. Restaurant was closed

This place has lots of character. The accomodation is in a group of old buildings, in Lana style. Our room was one of the larger ones with a separate study/dressing area, and there was plenty of storage space. Dark wood paneling and dark furnishings made the room quite dark - but we only worked out how to turn the main light on just before leaving! Note that the front entrance is only open when the restraunt is open, otherwise you have to go round to the rear entrance. Also the street is closed for a street market on Friday evenings. It's a great street market, very extensive, going right the way into the town centre.

The Colonial House does not offer breakfast but there are several good cafes offering breakfast very nearby. It's a 10-15 minute walk to the city centre (ie to the moat) along a road with rather uneven footpaths.
