We stayed at The Small for a few nights before we decided to change hotels. Initially, we chose this property because it's close to the night market, the old city and breakfast was included in the room rate. Upon checking in, the staff hardly acknowledged us and the attitude stayed the same during the rest of our stay. I guess... More

The brochure for the Small Chiangmai is very promising with nice glossy colors, and in the room there are two booklets that featured the hotel as one of the stylish boutique hotels with innovative design and decor. That was the past, ten years ago or so. Today, it is still a nice, decent hotel, but the furniture in the bathroom... More

We booked the largest and best room possible but had problems with the door locking. We were then given a smaller room but this was towards the back of the hotel which we were told would be quieter. The room was small but clean. The shower was poor and over the 5 nights that we were there the floor was... More

I’d give the hotel a good review because it offers good value for money. Positive: - Price: The hotel has hostel prices and still is has good standards. - Location: not only it’s next to the old town, but it’s possible to see a lot of Chiang Mai by bicycle. - friendly staff - good breakfast in the terrace -...

The room we were in was small but you really arent in the room much so dont worry. We had a balcony which was nice to view the busy street and sit and relax. The rooms were clean and so was the bathroom. They had a pool but it was under maintenance when we were there. Perfect location on the... More

Apart from some difficulties in opening the door of the room (no other door has ever been so complicated), I want to mention the nice location of the hotel. The breakfast is good enough, but for the rest, nothing to tell. An average hotel for european standards, even if it is probably a very good one here in Chang Mai.... More

We spent our first night in a room with a window which opens right onto a zinc partition. Was given another room on second night after our repeated request was met with surly reaction from a male staff at the reception. This second room had no hot water which was quickly sorted out by reception staff Kent the most helpful... More

We stayed at The Small for 3 days in November 2012. We were upgraded to the fifth floor with a balcony due to an error by our travel agent the day prior. I didn't have trouble sleeping but my Mom did. She said she couldn't sleep from all the street noise and music. The bright side is that the breakfast... More

This is our third hotel in Chiang Mai. First, we tried budget. Never again. Next, we tried a guest residence. Nice place, but too far removed from everything. Finally (maybe), we decided to try The Small due to Tripadvisor reviews and its central location. The pictures on their website made the place look warm and inviting, and despite the price,... More
