Hotel de Nara

lovely little hotel with all facilities. It's a great location, plenty of bars and restaurants situated in side the old town walls and walking distance to all places in the old town definitely recommend the place & location only 15 mins from airport

We'd never been to Thailand and we didn't know what to expect, but we knew we wanted a simple local hotel, not a resort or name brand. We selected De Nara and we are delighted that we did. The lady behind the desk and her associates spoke limited English, but she managed to communicate with us and make us feel comfortable. The room was clean and well appointed with plenty of storage and a very comfortable bed. The bathroom was a good size with a rain shower, toilet, and sink. There was a basket of amenities including dental kits, mosquito repellant, and a hair dryer plus a coffee/tea making station. On our bed we found two towel bunnies, and bottled water was provided. Outside our room was our own table and chairs and there was a small yard and a beautiful swimming pool. In the morning a lovely, motherly woman had laid out juice, cereal, breads, etc. in the breakfast room. She handed us a menu and we selected what we wanted and how we wanted our eggs. She went into the kitchen and made the rest of our breakfast as if we were guests in her home. She spoke no English but we felt very comfortable. We stayed 3 days during which we experienced authentic Chiang Mai, and the lady at the desk directed us to an excellent elephant sanctuary where we fed and bathed with elephants. Down the alley there were several restaurants including one where we ate which had a 70's hippie vibe and superior Thai food. DeNara was in walking distance to the main street where we found many restaurants and stores as well as Tuk-tuks for easy transportation. DeNara was the perfect hotel for an authentic Chiang Mai experience and our only regret is that when we took pictures of our wonderful hosts, we never got their names.

Hormis la proximité du centre ville et le personnel qui essaie de faire du mieux qu'il peut hélas beaucoup de points négatifs. Indépendamment du propriétaire une discothèque émet des basses considérables tous les soirs jusque 4h du matin 7/ 7. Les sols très sales nettoyés avec une serpillière sans eau de lavage ni de rinçage 😡. La piscine au rez-de-chaussée dans le passage donc personne ne l'utilise. Au rez-de-chaussée de chaussée le bruit des pompes alimentant l'aquarium est très dérangeant. Le petit déjeuner copieux toujours les mêmes ingrédients. Les photos sur le site ne reflètent pas du tout la réalité. Il existe sur Chang Mai des hôtels moins chers et de meilleures qualité.
