Old City Holidays

First off, I just want to say my girlfriend was mad at me for picking this property mostly because of location-she'd lived in Chiang Mai for many years and knew the area. I honestly was impressed by the property, as it was clean and modern and the staff was very attentive and helpful. We got our room and although it was clean and modern, it had a loft bedroom. My knee was injured and I was unable to access the bedroom without much pain going up the stairs. I called the front desk and asked if they had any rooms with a bedroom on the first floor of the unit. They said they were pretty booked up, but there was an executive suite and they could offer it to us for an additional expense. I mentioned I had a knee injury and they said they'd call me back. When they called me back, they offered it to me without an upcharge and I was elated! My knee was happy to :) The manager had changed her mind after realizing I had a knee injury and potentially would not be able to sleep in the bedroom-she made the decision to help and offer a much nicer suite at no extra cost. This made my stay the best it could be and I want to highly recommend this property because of the nice manager and staff that put my well being first over making an additional profit. This is the Thai way, being nice and having a huge heart for us travelers. Thank you for taking care of me when I really needed it! Thank you!!

The spa services at this hotel were exceptional and extremely reasonably priced. My 2 1/2 hour treatment was the best service I’ve ever had and I’ve had many. The hospitality of everyone on the property was exceptional. The WiFi was a bit spotty yet who cares when you’re enjoying the beautiful setting. My only feedback was I ate dinner there twice which was good yet the piano player was a bit much for the setting…kind of loud and just not great. Something more low key perhaps an acoustic guitar player would more appealing be divine and I think people would be more drawn to the atmosphere.

Nice place with friendly and helpful staff! The shower design was very weird and flooded the floor by our toilet on every use.

Viang Thapae Resort really is an oasis in this very busy area of Chiang Mai. The resort looks like a tropical island. The rooms are very well appointed. I loved the decor! It was also very clean. The bed was comfortable and A/C was working. There is a small pool that's perfect to cool down on hot days. The staff is super friendly and eager to help. Breakfast was a basic continental style with a few Thai touches. Nothing to write home about, but good and conveniently located in the lovely dining area overlooking the pond. Note that the address will lead you to the back door, which is locked after hours. The front door is just around the corner. I would recommend management put up a sign with directions. Overall a great stay and very much recommended for individuals, couples, and families.
