The Chimes Chiang Mai is a modern and neat hotel with a total of 14 rooms. There are three types of rooms including the smallest room, the deluxe city view of a whopping 35 m2. The largest room of 42 m2 is the ideal room for a family with child or a group of friends of three. We slept in the Deluxe Pool View room with a nice balcony. All rooms are equipped with a comfortable bed, air conditioning, refrigerator, tea and coffee making facilities and high-speed Wi-Fi connection. A hotel in Chiang Mai Old Town with a pool, and what a pool it is! The largest pool in Old Town.
This saltwater pool is surrounded with sunbeds, ideal for resting after a fun tour like the one to the Doi Inthanon or Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep. The manager and staff are very friendly and were always there for us. They helped us with advice on what to do in the area and gave us the names of some good restaurants in Chiang Mai. The Chimes Chiang Mai is highly recommended for a good stay in Chiang Mai Old Town!
