Accommodation and facilities:
A fine hotel, the newer tower of 20 floors well constructed about 20 years ago. The guests are a good mix of Asian and European. It has a lovely old-world Lanna feel about it and in the lobby we admire the genuine quality of the marble, wood, chandeliers, very high celiling and exotic decoration. The staff are pleasant and charming. At the moment there are some signs of ‘wear and tear’, but Renovation of bedrooms is planned for May 2011. The location is excellent — near markets: night, anusarn and galare, also near river Ping - taxis, tuk-tuks and songtaews are always available. Our view from the 18th floor made us feel as if we were in a penthouse overlooking the river ping. The quiet carpeted rooms are large, with armchairs, coffee table, desk and chair. The beds are very comfortable, and sheets and pillowcases are of the highest quality Egyptian cotton. The airconditioning is quite silent and efficient. There is a fridge and TV, but only a few channels available (including BBC world). The bathroom is all in marble. Best of all — there is no irritating muzak! There are the usual bars, disco and restaurants, but these are not intrusive. There are plenty of restaurants outside but we dined a few times on the roof at the Blue Bat Barbecue - again, very good value and superb views of course. Breakfast quality is variable but plentiful; a fine variety of western and oriental food with good coffee and a fresh egg-making station. The service is reasonably efficient and the crockery has seen better days. By the pool there is a delightful seating area overlooking a well-kept water garden. All in all, an excellent hotel with good value for money and which we have been using for about 5 years.

Reservation service:
Perfect. Thank you.

It has a lovely old-world feel about it and we admired the genuine quality of the marble, wood, chandeliers, very high celiling and exotic decoration. The staff are mostly pleasant and charming. There are some signs of ‘wear and tear’, but this is definitely reflected in the room rates, which are good value.

There are the usual bars, disco and restaurants, but these were not intrusive. There are plenty of restaurants outside and we did not dine at the Porn Ping. Breakfast quality is variable; good fresh omelets, but generally could be better and more varied. The service was reasonably efficient but somewhat laid back; the crockery has seen better days. All in all, an excellent hotel which we have been using for about 5 years.

Reservation service:
Excellent

Accommodation and facilities:
Our stay at the Pornping Tower was very good. We have stayed previously at the Pornping and enjoy the close proximity to the night bazaar. Breakfast has improved over previous stays.

Accommodation and facilities:
All I can say is the room was adequate, even though it was one of the newly refurbished one’s. There is no safe in the room, and in this day and age going to reception for safe deposits should be a thing of the past. Tea and coffee making in the room is a bit of a joke, large kettle but only two sachets of coffee you’ll not use much water. Wi-Fi access is charged at 100 bht per hour don’t bother this is very expensive, go to a internet cafe or to one of the many cafes or bars that offer it free while you have a drink. Don’t book the hotel to pick you up, they charge 100 bht per person, the airport car service is only 120 bht per car and there all new cars.

Reservation service:
Excellent as usual

Accommodation and facilities:
Reasonably priced. Rooms in dire need of refurbishing. Lights in room are too dim. Cannot read in morning and evening. This hotel sometimes hosts large tour groups, making the buffet breakfast facility very crowded. The staff is pleasant and fluent in English.

Reservation service:
Sawadee is ALWAYS ths best. Never have a problem with their service

Accommodation and facilities:
The room itself was old and outdated and I stayed in the new tower, there was nothing special about it, which was a shame in 2005 when I stayed there I had a different experience and loved the room, which is why I came back. The facilities are good, and the staff were friendly, the location was great. I was on the 14th floor, and still could hear the disco down below at night. I believe I could have paid much less somewhere else, and had a better room. Next time I go back to Chiang Mai, I will probably stay somewhere else.

Reservation service:
Great no problems.

Accommodation and facilities:
nice and clean, very ideal location just next to the food centre and night bazaar, center of all the on-going activities.. lovely

Reservation service:
very easy and no hiccup. great services

Accommodation and facilities:
Good value for reasonable price. Excellent location !!! Everyting is very close to the Pornping hotel. Only problem is VERY dim lighting in room and not enough electrical outlets for PC and mobile phone

Reservation service:
Always number one. I have used Sawadee for many years. Never a problem

Accommodation and facilities:
We stayed at the old building, not too spacious. We do not hear any noise from disco or bar. The best is the location, next to night bazaar. IF we planned for next year we should stray at the same hotel.

Reservation service:
Great job. I will use them again for my next travel plan.
