We arrived very early, but the room was ready and the check in was efficient. The room was outdated, but clean. The noise level at night was, mostly, acceptable. Free water in the fridge, free coffee downstairs, beside the reception. The maids did a good cleaning job. At the check out we were allowed to leave the luggage at the reception until later in the day. The hotel is 4-5 minutes walking distance from the gate to the Old City. Many good restaurants close by. We enjoyed very much the Thai food at Ratana’s Kitchen (exit the hotel, turn right, walk 2-3 minutes and you will see it across the road). There are 2 mini-markets nearby: exit the hotel, turn right, walk 5 minutes to 7 Eleven, keep walking another 3 minutes to Tops. If you enter the Tha Pae Gate and keep walking ahead 8-9 minutes, you will find good coffee at Lana Caffe (made with local coffee beans), For something original and pleasing the senses, go across Lana Coffe, enter the smal Lanna Museum and vist their tiny caffe. The purple tea is made with a local flower and some honey, the coffee is good and the cakes are amazing. The lady who will serve you has an university art degree and the recipients for coffee and tea are interesting.
