Stayed here in January 2012. Very comfortable stay , breakfast was up to expectations, close to night market , a very nice massage parlour near the hotel , cheap laundy service to be found in the lane to the hotel. Did not visit the pool area - too busy enjoying the splendors of Chiang Mai. Will definately stay at the... More

I stayed at this hotel for seven nights and was impressed by the standard of service, cleanliness of rooms and the helpfulness of the staff. There are very reasonably priced buffet lunches and dinners for in-house guests, and there was a good variety of Thai, chinese and western food. The hotel is a few minutes walk from the Night Bazaar,... More

The Empress is where we landed when we first arrived to Thailand. After traveling for 30 hours straight, I think anything would look awesome. And The Empress sufficed. For the equivalent of $75/night it was a good value. We were on our honeymoon and wanted something a little newer an more upscale, but of what you are looking for is... More

Excellent Hotel, good value. Lovely room with a complimentary fruit bowl, and beautiful flowers. Free wifi with your own computer. Fantastic breakfast selection. Poor choice for evening meals so suggest eating out but don't let that put you off the hotel. More

Great hotel with good food and friendly staff. Rooms are clean and very nice. I have stayed there on several occaisions when I have been in Chiang Mai. The only complaint I have is the WiFi you have to purchase the time and the cost is rather expensive. Many hotels offer the same service for free. More

Needed long walks or tuk-tuks to go anywhere of interest besides the night market, which is about 10 mins away by foot. Rooms are tradtional and comfortable, staff is great, breakfasts were great, pool... More

We stayed here for 4 nights and therefore qualified as a "long stay guest" 50% off laundry(excellent and speedy service) and had fruit and flowers in the room on the 3rd night. Breakfast was a mass buffet with long queues for some items. The best food was in the Panda restaurant good quality and inexpensive. 4 bottles of water provided... More

The hotel is very near to the Night Bazaar and shopping areas. Very convenient for finding somewhere to eat or visit the Bazaar. A tuk tuk into the old cit costs around 40-60 baht which is fine. I wasn't too keen on the rooms as you're allowed to smoke and we smelled it feom the guests before us. Don't do... More

A nice hotel, location was great - only a 10min walk to the night market. Breakfast was lovely - a large selection of food - sweet & savoury! Downside - cheap toiletries in the bathroom, be sure to take your own! More
