Hotel de Nara

lovely little hotel with all facilities. It's a great location, plenty of bars and restaurants situated in side the old town walls and walking distance to all places in the old town definitely recommend the place & location only 15 mins from airport

Meh. Didn't have my booking when I arrived, but desk clerk did scramble to make it happen pleasantly. Beds were really hard. Pictures shown do not necessarily reflect my experience, tho it did have touches of niceness (the De Nara up on the wall looked classy). The big downside for me was a "nightclub next door" (? or something) could be "felt" until 4am. There were other younger tourists around, so I suspect this area catered to more budget conscious visitors.

We'd never been to Thailand and we didn't know what to expect, but we knew we wanted a simple local hotel, not a resort or name brand. We selected De Nara and we are delighted that we did. The lady behind the desk and her associates spoke limited English, but she managed to communicate with us and make us feel comfortable. The room was clean and well appointed with plenty of storage and a very comfortable bed. The bathroom was a good size with a rain shower, toilet, and sink. There was a basket of amenities including dental kits, mosquito repellant, and a hair dryer plus a coffee/tea making station. On our bed we found two towel bunnies, and bottled water was provided. Outside our room was our own table and chairs and there was a small yard and a beautiful swimming pool. In the morning a lovely, motherly woman had laid out juice, cereal, breads, etc. in the breakfast room. She handed us a menu and we selected what we wanted and how we wanted our eggs. She went into the kitchen and made the rest of our breakfast as if we were guests in her home. She spoke no English but we felt very comfortable. We stayed 3 days during which we experienced authentic Chiang Mai, and the lady at the desk directed us to an excellent elephant sanctuary where we fed and bathed with elephants. Down the alley there were several restaurants including one where we ate which had a 70's hippie vibe and superior Thai food. DeNara was in walking distance to the main street where we found many restaurants and stores as well as Tuk-tuks for easy transportation. DeNara was the perfect hotel for an authentic Chiang Mai experience and our only regret is that when we took pictures of our wonderful hosts, we never got their names.

Location is perfect, rooms are clean and staff is very friendly. We stayed here for one night as our SHA+ hotel whilst in quarantine and it did the job. Only main downside is that there is a club nearby which made a lot of noise throughout the night. Wasn’t the worst but not ideal.

Hôtel charmant dans un quartier un peu bruyant à cause d’une boite de nuit proche mais cela ne nous a pas dérangé puisqu’on était au rez de chaussée, on entend un peu les basses mais ça va. Par contre le bruit de l’eau qui coule dans le jardin est plutôt désagréable. Il n’y a pas de vrai balcon, donc d’intimité c’est dommage. Quand on veut un balcon c’est pour être seul et tranquille. La chambre est niquel, le lit super confortable, les équipements et salle de bain très bien. Seul bémol l’odeur remontée d’égout dans notre chambre. La chambre 105 est donc à éviter. Le staff est très gentil et flexible il n’y a rien à redire, le service client est impeccable.
