Imm Hotel Thaphae Chiang Mai

The hotel is located in a great location, close to tourist attractions and restaurants. However, the rooms are not soundproof, and there is noise from the dining area in the morning.

I can see why a certain type of leisure traveler would love this kind of accommodation, but for business travelers it just isn’t suitable. While in a very central location across Tha Phae gate, near to tons of food stalls, cafes, bars, etc, it is situated on a very congested street with a McDonalds in front, making it difficult and sometimes downright dangerous for ride shares to pickup/dropoff. We had meant to walk to the markets at night but the streets were so crowded that we couldn’t risk banging into other people while carrying pieces that we had purchased for our shop. Also, and this is what made this a “never again” for us - there is no hot water! After 15 hour days spent on our feet in dusty streets and villages, having to shower in warm water just did not cut it. For those on vacation, people who don’t require luxuries like hot water, this is a great budget option as the staff is very kind, rooms have small refrigerators and AC and WiFi are both reliable. Beds are also pretty comfortable, and for under $50/night you can’t go wrong. Bottom line - if Hot water is a must, don’t. If you’re ok with warm showers and don’t need to stick to a schedule or on traveling on business, look for newer accommodations like the Luck Thai which will now be our company’s default.

One of the best hotel weve stayed..we definitely coming back.. tons of tourist wenr to PHae Gate Chiang Mai where across the street from the hitel..
