Astra Sky River Hoc

A great central place to stay in Chiang Mai with an amazing roof top pool that's even better in person, really. We've stayed in two units at the Astra Sky River Condominium building (via AirBnb) over the course of two visits to Chiang Mai. We came to Chiang Mai each time to visit an elderly family member who retired in Chiang Mai as well as enjoy seeing the area. Be sure to understand that the Astra Sky is not a hotel. Do not expect concierge service or free luggage storage. That said, it does have the secure feel of a hotel and attention to cleanliness and signage. I had assumed each unit in the building must pretty much the same after staying here for two weeks during our first visit to Chiang Mai and peeking when other units were being cleaned with the door left open. I didn't think too much or read the reviews too closely when I learned I needed to book a different unit on our return for one night when due to a mix-up while booking our flights, we needed somewhere to stay our first night. Although the new-to-us unit was "fine", it felt quite different and would've been very disappointed if we hadn't had our known unit booked for our second visit (also for two weeks). That's because the new-to-us unit wasn't as clean and didn't have the same attention to details, such as a toaster, garbage bags, enough towels, soft linens, etc., and the host didn't understand basic questions asked in English (Google translate?). I recommend the building 100% and reading each unit's reviews on AirBnB closely. The unit we have loved each time is hosted by Danni and listed on AirBnb.

We had an apartment on 15th floor. It was clean and had everything you need (apart from a safety deposit box), which we would have preferred. Swimming pool is lovely but only has 7 sunbeds and a few seating areas. Property is approx 15 mins walk from chiang mai centre.

Moderno complesso di appartamenti, a circa 2km dalla old town, lo abbiamo scelto specialmente per la lunghissima piscina al 17o piano da cui ammirare una vista a 360gradi su Chiang Mai, noi di @DiariodiMondo YouTube lo abbiamo trovato su AirBNB e all’ingresso ci ha accolti un maggiordomo molto gentile, prezzo basso per la qualità offerta, decisamente consigliato.
