After driving 12 hours across Thailand, I was really ready to stop for the night. One step into this hotel and I asked "what is that terrible smell?" I actually refused to stay here and went and searched at 11:00pm for another hotel - that should tell you how bad the smell is. It smells rather like cooked liver -... more

This hotel is place right next to a huge mall and theatre, walking distance to many restaurants and around the corner from the best hospital in the city. The breakfast came with the meal and was fantastic. I never made it to the pool, but heard great things about it as well. The spa was such a treat. more

We stayed at the Chiang Mai Orchid for one night in November. It was fine for a quick stopover on the way south but I would not have wanted to stay any longer. The lobby and restaurants are fine, breakfast was good, but my main issue was the room. We had a deluxe room and it really needed renovating. It... more

I stayed at the Orchid for just over a week. The breakfast was nice, nothing fancy but more than adequate. The lobby is gorgeous and there was often someone playing the piano or a stringed instrument. My room was always clean and so was the pool. The beds were comfortable and I slept well. The two things I liked best... more

The people were much friendlier and overall I enjoyed staying there and you couldn't beat the price $US60/night. The morning breakfast was ok and if you are looking for an... more

I stayed at Chiang Mai Orchid last November with two friends: we arrived from Bangkok via plane and they took us at the airport without problems. We stayed 2 nights: the room was perfect, clean and large enough for 3 persons. The hotel and the room are a little bit too impersonal: you can find the same hotel all around... more

I stayed for 4 nights at the Chiang Mai Orchid Hotel. My impressions are as follows: Reception: very difficult to communicate or even receive calls it appears that only one person speaks a broken English. There is wireless in the lobby for about $1.50 for ½ an hour use. Room: Run down. Smelled like sewage. I misplaced the key within... more

The Chiang Mai Orchid has a beautiful lobby and the staff are helpful. The room we stayed in was large and spacious but rather worn. AC worked but did not do as efficient a job of cooling as other hotels we've stayed at. Buffet breakfast was very good. Would probably experiment with another hotel if we stayed in Chiang Mai... more
