My general rating for this hotel is really 4.5 stars-very very good since it is just a bit too far from town, but they get .5 more for far and away service that was beyond expectation. I have left an expensive object in my room at check out, only discovered once I arrived in my hotel in Bangkok. I sent... More

Just completed our second visit to this fantastic hotel. I thought perhaps a second visit might not live up to our first experience, but it did, in every way. The hotel wasn't busy so there was no buffet breakfast. Instead we were handed a menu to choose what we wanted and everything was done to order. Personally I prefer this... More

The only thing that could be better was the location. it's too far to walk into town, but it being at the riverside was wonderful and provided best views. it's easy to get to find the night-bazaar. Just go staight along the river. The balcony was fantastic. The whole property was very well-maintained and planned. Beautiful garden and pools. The... More

Once I got past the strangeness of a Moroccan themed hotel in Thailand, the Sheik Istana hotel was delightful. The staff was incredibly gracious, the room very nice. We enjoyed the included breakfast, and our room had a lovely view of the Mai Ping River, which at daybreak showed a pretty reflection from the across-river Wat.

The hotel is really one of its kind in Chiang Mai. First arrived at airport, was welcomed by friendly hotel staff, which transfer us to the hotel. The location which is not in the town centre makes it really quiet and serene facing the Ping River, however if you were travel to town it is only a 5-10 minutes journey... More

We spent 3 nights in Sheik Istana and I can only say this: excellent! The room was perfectly clean, spacious, the quality of the bed is perfect, the view... everything. The staff was very helpful and friendly, and the food was great. Really, our stay was perfect! I totally recommand this hotel, which more than this, is particularly charming
