The Residence Hotel

One of the worst hotels I’ve been at. Bad service with no English knowledge, we had to pay extra for another bed which was only a pice of wood with a 2 cm mattress. Didn’t feel welcome there and it was really loud. Only good thing was the 7eleven right next to the hotel.

I recently stayed at The Residence Hotel in Chiang Mai, and it was a pleasant experience overall, especially for a three-star establishment. Here's a breakdown of my thoughts: The hotel is conveniently located near some of Chiang Mai's main attractions, including the Night Bazaar and the Old City. It’s tucked away in a quieter part of town, which makes it ideal for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle while still being close to the action. Local shops and restaurants are within walking distance, which adds to its charm. The rooms are clean and functional, though slightly outdated. The bed was comfortable, and the amenities provided were adequate—air conditioning, a mini-fridge, and complimentary bottled water. However, the décor could use a modern touch, and the bathroom, while clean, showed signs of wear. The Wi-Fi was reliable only in the room, which was a little uncomfortable to use lobby area to work or search the internet. some staffs were not friendly due to the languages, most language uses are Thai. While the service wasn’t luxurious, it was warm and genuine, which added to the overall experience. There’s also a simple breakfast available, which, while not extensive, featured fresh fruits, toast, and a few local dishes. For the price, The Residence Hotel provides excellent value. It’s not a luxury stay, but it offers everything a traveler might need for a comfortable visit to Chiang Mai. The combination of its location, affordability, and lack friendly service makes it a solid choice for budget-conscious travelers. The Residence Hotel is a good option if you’re looking for a budget-friendly and well-located place to stay in Chiang Mai. While it may not have the frills of higher-end accommodations, its clean rooms, lack of welcoming staff, and convenience make it worth considering for your next trip. Would recommend for solo travelers and couples looking for a simple yet comfortable base to explore Chiang Mai!
