What guests think

At De Chai Colonial Hotel & Spa, travellers frequently praise the friendly, attentive staff and a convenient, quiet location near Tha Phae Gate, night markets, and the Old City, making it easy to walk or grab transport to sights.

Rooms are generally spacious and comfortable, though several reviews note dated elements, occasional maintenance issues, door-slam or corridor noise, and unreliable in-room Wi‑Fi or noisy air conditioning. Breakfast feedback is mixed—from tasty and varied to basic or limited—while the spa receives strong praise; the pool is shaded, small, and often cold. Cleanliness is mostly good, with a few reports of pests, odors, or spotty housekeeping. Expect a comfortable, well-located base with warm service and a few trade-offs.

The in-house spa was definitely one of the highlights of my stay! The staff were very professional and really helped relax my tense muscles without making it painful. The food at the breakfast buffet was also pretty decent. I don't think I've had any bad food during my stay.

They charged me for a towel that they said I stained. I told them I didn’t. They said I should look at the towel before using it. Really.. I got out of shower unfolded it and used it to wipe myself. They charged me 900 baht (About $40 CDN)when I complained they waived 50%. Terrible. I asked for glass of ice they wanted to charge me. Pool is not outside, cold water, only 3 chairs by pool. Breakfast terrible. Horrible place

This place is wonderful! The room was well stocked, clean and the beds were comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was ok, more convenient than anything. The pool is refreshing and clean, as well as the bar area around it very nicely kept and relaxing. And the spa- do yourself a favor and book a treatment. It was the best. Everything was very walkable and even had the famous Roti lady stationed at the end of the alleyway (our nightly stop!) We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

The location in nice and quiet, very close to the Thapai gate on a 5 minute walk, also the old city is very close too. Plenty on Hood food places, bars, temples & night markets nearby too. This hotel possibly has the coldest pool in Thailand due to it being permanently under a roof so always in the shade. Only downside I think is the breakfast is quite basic quality, the juice is maybe from concentrate or watered down. I would still definitely stay here again though.

Overall it's a good hotel for the price. I can recommend it. Clean, very good location, nice breakfast, friendly staff and good massage services. Negatives: - The wifi connection was bad, it did not work from our room on fifth floor. - The air conditioner is noisy even in the low speed. - The shower heat wasn't easy to adjust with the handle, either too cold or too hot.

Told the receptionist that I wore the same slipper when I switched room :). In new room, I didn't even touch any amenities etc. The new room is ok but aircon was too noisy even in 'low fan'.

This would be my #1 choice anytime I visit Chiang Mae, the location could not be more perfect. On a quiet side street but just a few minutes walk to be in the heart of everything. You are just minutes walk to the city gate and the main road is gorgeous lit up at night and just teaming with vendors at night when they close it to vehicle traffic. If you do a tour they usually charge extra if you are not inside the old city walls but on all our tours they gave us the free hotel pickup because we were so convenient right where we were. The rooms were so peaceful, the staff just incredible, the location could not have been more perfect and there is a 7-11 handy right at the top of the block. The bedding was perfect, plenty of room, we hated to leave, will definitely be our first choice every time.

Next door is buddy tours which has a great guide/ private driver (tongchai) if you need to go to the airport, the hill villages, or other areas. Also walkable to Warorot market which has a lot of unique and vintage textiles, fabrics, baskets in the stores in that area. The hotel itself is okay for if you are just planning to sleep there! Not much to do/ amenities to relax in the hotel, and breakfast was okay but not worth it versus eating in a restaurant.
