Top Wua Lai Hotel Reviews

Shangri-La Chiang Mai

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were very nice and helpful. The location is great, quiet and convenient"

Jomkitti Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Cet hôtel-boutique est très bien situé dans la vieille ville. Le personnel est très gentil, notre chambre était propre et c’était très tranquille, malgré le fait que nous étions juste à côté de la salle pour les petits-déjeuners (202). La piscine était très appréciable pour se rafraîchir. Les petits-déjeuners sont ok sans plus et très répétitifs et pas constants selon le personnel. Je recommande toutefois cet endroit qui est un excellent rapport qualité-prix."

99 The Heritage Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This charming hotel is decorated in the colonial style with a Thai touch: lots of flowers! The staff is lovely and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The lower lobby is like a garden where we enjoyed breakfast every day. (There is also a breakfast room where the buffet is located.) The location in the Old City is just off the western end of the Sunday Walking Street, which contains many shops and eateries. Just a word to those who don't do stairs: there's no elevator, so ask for a room on the first floor (although the staff will take care of your luggage regardless of where your room is located)."
