Perfect location, small and quiet

Lovely little hotel tucked away in the old city. Small and boutique this was the perfect spot to explore Chiang Mai. All of the staff were lovely and helpful and were quick to resolve an A/C issue in our room. The breakfast choice isn’t huge but with the hotel only having 20ish rooms you don’t expect a lavish banquet. Would stay again and would recommend to others

Wonderful hotel. Great location. Very attentive staff. The courtyard with the pool feels like an oasis. Great breakfast. I highly recommend staying at this hotel. They booked massages for us at the Antique massage place. Great choice.

A week in paradise!

The stay was amazing! We were immediately upgraded to a suite that was amazing. The facilities were well maintained, clean and up to date. The staff was so polite and helpful, when we entered our taxi to leave, we found out the Hotel had provided free taxi to the airport. Overall it was an amazing stay in a beautiful hotel!

Amazing stay at Thai Akara. The service was amazing from staff, they helped book activities for us when ever we needed! On our last day we had an early flight and they even provided us with a breakfast takeaway box. The hotel itself is clean, nice and has everything you need. The breakfast buffet was delicious and had a good variety of food- they make sure they cater to vegetarians. The only slight negative was only one bedside table in a double room. We would definitely come back to this hotel as it is close to all the main attractions also.

The staff were so helpful, nothing was a problem. Breakfast was excellent with a good choice and on our last day they had a cookery course style table. We sat eating our strawberries we had purchased from a market and the kind lady asked us if we wanted a salad made using them. It was delicious. Only negative was the lack of lighting on the narrow walk past the pool to room 106.

I just spent 4 Nights at the Thai Akara Hotel. I came to Chiang Mai to recharge after 2 hard weeks in Mongolia. As a woman traveling alone, the location was great as I had lots of dining options close to the hotel at night. During the day it is in the perfect location to walk the highlights of the old town and easy pick up for tour operators. My room was really clean, the breakfast every day was yummy, and the staff was really helpful. They had activities at the hotel for guests. I was not able to participate but nice that they offered. I was nervous pulling up as there were a lot of bars in the area but when you turn down the little street the hotel is on, it is all quiet. If I go back to Chiang Mai, I would easily stay there again.

The staff were friendly. However, the pool was very small and seemed quite old. The breakfast also needs improvement. The showerhead in the bathtub was broken, which was disappointing. More proactive maintenance is needed. Overall, it didn’t feel like it was worth the price.

Pros: the staff (Monika and Earth especially!) was amazing, breakfast was delicious and the poolside Songkran activities were fun. Pool area is small but so nice for a dip each afternoon (omg is thailand HOT) and the bar was reasonable and convenient. Room snacks and bottled water were nice touches (thanks for the cookie refills). Laundry was cheap by US standards and convenient. Used Grab to get around most days to beat the heat - also very inexpensive. Cons: the room, while spacious, was tough for a week. There wasn’t any drawer or counter storage so we had things piled everywhere. We looked like slobs I’m sure. A few extra hooks would be helpful too.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is centrally located, with nice, quiet rooms and a heated pool. The staff is friendly, but not as helpful as one might wish. Although always smiling, they were unable to (or maybe unwilling to) provide simple food recommendations beyond one or two restaurants...not sure if they are only allowed to suggest certain businesses. The same is true when it comes to activities. They seem to want to book trips for you, but are less happy about helping you with trips you have pre-booked. The rooms were great except the hot water in my room cycled thru extremely hot to lukewarm every 20 secs. So you always had to step out of the water every 10 secs to avoid getting burned.
