Changpuak Boutique House

We booked a couple of days before arrival and Chiang Mai seemed pretty much booked up in our price range. We’d never stayed at this side of town before and it’s about a 10 minute walk to the main area of bars, restaurants and old town attractions. Our room was on the first floor, a good size, with a communal balcony and also a sitting area overlooking the road. There is a nice enclosed pool area. Our room was very clean, brightly decorated with window onto the communal balcony. The bathroom was large and quirky, glass fronted but sound proofed! Shower was hot and good pressure. We had some noise from other guests returning after partying late and you can also hear the call to prayer from the mosque next door but generally we slept well. Location is okay, 7-11 and night market just round the corner but as I mentioned, only local restaurants in immediate vicinity. We paid about£30 a night which is a lot for Thailand but is the going rate for busy and heavily touristed Chiang Mai. We enjoyed our stay and I’d use the hotel again.

Just arrived back from staying at the Changpuak Boutique hotel. The hotel itself is very nice, good location and the staff were helpful. The room was very clean and the decor is beautiful! The bed's are hard, but this is expected now in south east Asia. The big issue was unfortunately was the pool! The photo's make it look so nice, although when we were there it resembled a pond!! It was green and murky and had a bad smell, therefore we were unable to use it during our trip. If this is resolved I would recommend the hotel.

All in all we had a good experience, the room was clean, and bathroom was amazing. The mattress is as hard as a rock, but we appreciated it, so it's just a matter of preferences, but keep that in mind. The only to negative parts of the experience were the swimming pool, which is nice to have but most of the day is in the shade, and the fact that it would have been nice to have food other than just breakfast. Overall, would recommend.
