We have come back to Puripunn since the first year they opened. That should be sufficient prove of our enthousiasme for this loveley, romantic place. Staff is most friendly and no trouble is too much to help you make your stay unforgettable. Food is delicious and breakfast abunded.

This is one of the best Hotels that we have visited. We were collected at the airport and on arrival the Reception Staff could not have been more helpful.
During our stay EVERYBODY from Owner to Reception to Restaurant to Concierge made every effort to make our visit a great sucess.
Well done PURIPUNN we hope to get back one day

It takes a special kind of five star hotel to do justice to the warmth and spirit of Chiang Mai and the Puripunn is it. There are other five star hotels in Chiang Mai, mostly chains, but their lack of personality and notions of exclusivity feel ill ar ease with the nature of the city itself.

The Puripunn ticked all the five star boxes for me that matter. It is beautifully put together around a central courtyard that looks stunning, day or night. The rooms are spacious with every comfort you could think of. The service is very personal, they will remember everything from your cat's name to the way you like you tea.The balance between privacy and friendliness was perfectly struck at all times.

The Hotel is located near the river about ten minutes walk from the night market. It's in a residential area which makes for a perfect oasis, as a single female traveller who doesnt normally travel alone I felt very safe walking about here. There is a fantastic row of restaurants and upmarket art and interiors shops just a stroll from the hotel.

The owner told me that he wanted the hotel to feel like a home from home, and he really has pulled it off. I felt like I could do anything here and no one would bat an eyelid. I felt very un self conscious as a single traveller - every one is welcome here.

I had a signature room on the ground floor, yards from the pool. The way they have planted the gardens however, meant that my patio felt private at all times. You can be as sociable or unsociable as you want to be. I particularly liked for example the fact that there was plenty of room in the mini bar fridge to add what I wanted. There is a great supermarket a few streets away where I could stock up on my favourite wine cheaper than hotel rates - again, no one seemed to mind or object. In fact they brought me an apple to go with the cheese I bought!

This really is a special place - everything you want from a five star hotel without any of the pretension or snootiness. Thank you to everyone who looked after me there.

If you want to come to Chaing Mai, then trust me you want to come to the Puripunn.........

This hotel was one of the best I have stayed in (and I've stayed in many hotels). The room was elegant and had an extra large bathroom with a chaise arrangement near the bath, which made bath-times all that more interesting! It also made a lovely retreat where I could read and not disturb my husband in the early hours of the morning. The breakfasts were fantastic - with a choice of pastries, fruits, anything you could wish for (not to mention the cooked breakfasts and waffles made to order) which was included in the price of the room. The hotel has a lovely restaurant which was excellent, with a choice of Thai and western food , they were willing to make things for us that weren't even on the menu. There are only 30 rooms in this beautiful hotel and they all have balconies overlooking the central courtyard (where the swimming pool is surrounded by lush green tropical shrubs and trees). The couryard is filled with fairy-lights which are kept on all night. The staff are lovely and courteous and the owners (who are Thai and I believe were instrumental in designing the hotel) often come to chat with the guests. We were there for two weeks and it was sheer bliss. On a more practical note the hotel also has a complimentary Tuk Tuk service which takes you into the centre of Chiang Mai. There is air conditioning and large ceiling fans in the rooms, along with complimentary bottled water. It's a great place from which to explore the city of Chiang Mai.
