I stayed here for 5 days. For $50US a night, it was decent, but I have to believe there are better values in Chiang Mai. This hotel is one small step up from "no frills". The lobby and outside area have some decent decorations, but the rooms themselves are very utilitarian. Our bathroom sink made a continuous gurgling sound. I had to stuff the sink with bathroom towels to mute the sound. The bed was very hard - this is common in Thailand. For $50 a night in Chiang Mai I think you can do a little better but I found this hotel acceptable. The hotel is on a busy street (which makes sitting outside in their "courtyard" unpleasant) on the opposite side of downtown as the river. So you are in the city, but expect to walk awhile or take transportation to go anywhere. We usually took a tuk-tuk out and then walked back - maybe 20-30 minutes walk from the river area. Overall, not the worst experience but I would try somewhere else if I went back.
