During our visit to Chiang Mai, we stayed at the Lamphu House, near to the Wat Chedi Luang, the Sunday Street Market, and the Thais That Bind restaurant. We chose to stay here because Mrs Herbivore had stayed at the Lamphu House in Bangkok on another trip.
The hotel was clean, relatively new, and pretty basic, but we thought it was good value. What we liked: the pool (although the water was a bit chilly after the sun had left the pool area), our sunny balcony, the comfortable bed and the great location - walking distance toWat Chedi Luang and an easy stroll to Thapae Gate.
We were also interested to meet the two extremely cute dogs who lived across the road and who greeted us with wagging tails every morning,
If you like the quiet part of Chiang Mai and walking distance around the temple, we recomend staying around the old city.
What we didn't like: well, the staff didn't seem overly friendly, the hotel linen was on the well-used and threadbare side, and there was a long list of rules (mainly about how we couldn't leave marks on the sheets).
We also thought it was a bit odd that we had to pay a cash deposit to get the key to our room - but the pros outweighed the cons, and we would absolutely stay here again.
Room advice : Choose the room with pool view in the 2nd floor or 3rd floor. Our score: 8/10.
