De Naga Hotel, Chiang Mai

We stayed at the De Naga for two weeks, while visiting Chiang Mai, Jan. 2021. Perfect time of year to visit. Warm and beautiful! The hotel is an older hotel, but well kept. The service was above and beyond what you would expect, with friendly, fast and caring service. Always greeted with a smile. This would be a 5 star rating, except we had daily trouble with the air conditioning, to the point that we finally had to move rooms when it was no longer fixable. BUT - Management was gracious, helped us move and generous in taking care of us. The daily breakfast and coffee was always very good. Location is outstanding, within walking distance of great food, shopping and the night market. We loved everyone we meant at the De Naga. Beds are comfortable, bathroom is decent and service was GREAT! Important to note - if you are picking this hotel because it has a swimming pool... you might want to reconsider. The swimming pool is very cold. Nice to relax after a long hot day site seeing, but you won't be taking a dip - at least not in January!

This hotel was good for what we paid and we are pleased we chose it. The location is ideal, the service is good and breakfast is good. It is shabby around the edges - rooms are clean but need some TLC. Pool area is very much in need of some work, and is tiny and mostly in the shade but is fine for cooling off briefly. It is also only cleaned once a day first thing in the morning, so you need to be happy with a few dead cockroaches if you want a dip in the afternoon. There is also an overhanging roof above the sun loungers (all of them) so beware falling bird food (and dead birds). I gave this a 4 because it is cheap and you get what you pay for, but we wouldn't stay again.

Our first stop in Thailand was Chiang Mai. We chose to stay at the Hotel De Naga. We had a great stay with impeccable accommodations. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The location was pretty good too being close to the Sunday night market and night bazaar. Breakfast was included and the selections exceeded our expectations. I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Chaing Mai. ❤️❤️❤️
