Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience. The ambiance is serene, and the cleanliness is top-notch, making it a perfect retreat. The staff were incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The location provided a quiet escape while still being within walking distance of the main attractions. However, the breakfast could offer more variety, and I found the pool slightly cooler than expected. Overall, it’s a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a boutique hotel experience.

Ping Nakara is a beautiful boutique hotel that offers a peaceful oasis just outside Old Chiang Mai City. The staff is exceptionally attentive, and the atmosphere is charmingly tranquil. However, the experience was somewhat marred by noisy children during our stay, despite the hotel’s advertised focus on romance and relaxation. Overall, it’s a lovely place for those seeking elegance and comfort, but I would recommend confirming the guest policy for adults only to ensure a more serene experience.

Our room was exceptionally large with high ceilings and a lovely view of the pool. However, the small patio was almost too cramped to really enjoy, and next time I would explore other room options.
