Accommodation and facilities:
We have stayed at the Centara Duangtawan 3 times in the last 5 years. Our first stay 5 years ago was great and we really loved the hotel and have many great memories from our previous stays however time has caught up with this hotel and it is in desperate need of some major cleaning and attention. The carpet, furniture and even the bedding are old and dirty and need replacing. Cupboards and draws were missing handles. Windows were jammed shut. We asked to be moved to another room after our first room had been cleaned but was just unacceptably dirty to stay in. Our second room was better but nothing fantastic. Even the room service staff had quite dirty uniforms on. The rooms had a musty smell to them. We even notice that the seating in the foyer was quite dirty and at one stage had a sign on it requesting that guest should not sit on it. The location is the only redeeming thing about this old favorite for us. All in all it will probably be our last stay here unless the hotel undergoes some serious cleaning and maintenance.

A once high class hotel long after its best years... Breakfast organized poorly, had to wait long for staff to set the table. Welcome drink was hilarious, they should simply forget about it... Dirty windows. We stayed in the Dynasty room, the Dynasty Lounge staff was very nice. Good idea with the daily allowance for laundry (two items)

Only one bad incident with the bellboys and the concierge staff who should all be fired for telling lies, unfriendly, n trying to hustle guests for small -money. On the day we checked out of Duangtawan,i.e.3rd October, we requested the bellboy who came to our room to pick up luggage to have our taxi ready between 6-7pm. We were informed the price charge would be Thai Baht 150 to Baiyoke Hotel. When the time came for us to go, the bellboys informed us the cost is Thaibaht200. We were lied to by all the bellboys who insisted this is so because, 1. there is GREAT CRAWLING TRAFFIC JAM AND FAR DISTANCE.ONE OF THE BELLBOYS WAS SO RUDE, N ANNOYED BY OUR DISBELIEF THAT HE SAID, THIS MY COUNTRY, I KNOW OR YOU KNOW BETTER! 2. As it turn out, they had collaborated with a tour guide lady and wanted to provide us with, not a taxi but like a tour coach which we refuse simply because we wanted a taxi! 3.When we insisted for taxi, not a tour coach, the rude bellboy said he guarantee for our safety. We still declined to go by the tour coach. 3. They finally agree to call a taxi but told us to wait for 20minutes. This because their taxi friend in cahoots with the bellboys have to drive from somewhere and charge us Thaibaht200. As it turned out, the drive to the Baiyoke Hotel was so short, 10 MINS ONLY, NO TRAFFIC JAM AT ALL. Ms Angeline, the duty manager, whom we complained regards the attitude of the bellboys, also gave the excuse that taxi are hard to comeby in Chiangmai. The fact remains, all of them KOHOK regards the distance from Duangtawan to Baiyoke, about the traffic jam, just to earned some small money. It is not about the money! During our stay there and elsewhere in Thailand, we tipped average Thai50 baht, to waiters, houskeepers etc. We hated their dishonesty and the bellboys all trying to gang up on us and imposing that we should follow their way. So please FIRE all your bellboys or teach them about treating guests with honesty and to serve with sincerity

Accommodation and facilities:
This hotel offers good value for money, especially at the dynasty Club in the last flats: great view over Chiang Mai, evening cocktails and free internet in lounge. Room a little old, but clean and spacious. Very good breakfast with great variety. Restaurant for lunch or dinner not bad, but almost empty of customers. Most of the staff would need an improvement of their english level. Excellent location just on the Night Market.

The hotel is conveniently located next to the Night Bazaar. The only minuses were slow elevator service and room A/C that was too cold to my liking and could not be tempered. Excellent shower, helpful staff, good breakfast, good swimming pool. I will certainly come back!
Reservation service:
Excellent. Swift and responsive.
