El Barrio Lanna- SHA Extra Plus

El barrio Lanna is a perfect hotel in Chiang Mai. We had sn amazing stay and we liked so much their instalations. All was very clean and tidy. The building looks like colonial, it is very nice. The employees were very kind and friendly. Thanks so much for all and we hope to see you soon. Maribel y Maribel.

The El Barrio Lanna is a gem of a hotel, located in a quiet back street but right in the centre of Chiang Mai old town. A calming, relaxing, intimate place to stay, yet convenient for the main attractions of Chiang Mai. The staff went out of their way to be friendly and were very accommodating, even arranging a 5am check-in for us, courtesy of the lovely security guard. The breakfasts were brilliant, served in a well-appointed little restaurant. Our room was excellent - everything was top quality. The pool area (in a small courtyard) was a highlight, even offering all-day complimentary soft drinks and tasty biscuits.

Loved the room with the mountain view! I got to see the sunrise and sunset without leaving my bed and the balcony looked out onto plants so I felt like I had a jungle view despite being right in the city center by the big temples, shopping streets, and night market. The service was wonderful, the room large and comfortable for relaxing, the sheets were soft and the room very clean! The pool looked clean and refreshing, although I didn't get a chance to try it. The security at the entrance who helped with the luggage and late returns added peace of mind and a friendly face to the stay. The snacks and drinks available by the pool changed often for variety and were such a wonderful addition! I would definitely come back/recommend this hotel.

The hotel is a boutique hotel in the old town area. Rooms have a nice touch of Lanna architecture which we loved. Nice timber detail and timber doors opening to a small balcony with an outdoor setting overlooking the pool downstairs and mountain views. We loved the large very comfy beds and very modern bathroom which was extra large and had doors opening to a balcony if you chose to open it!! We loved the drinks and little cookies with cool drink and Tea and coffee set up poolside as soon as you enter. So welcoming after a hot day out. The hotel is located in a quiet secure side street 6 mins by taxi from the airport. We walked to the main road to the restaurants and the temples. Dont forget to take the hotel card with you as you head out. Don’t miss Wat Jet Lin Temple which is just around the corner and has a peaceful garden with a canal where you can feed the fish and turtles (purchase feed with your coins). A real oasis three minutes away from the hotel. We also walked to Wat Chedi Luang at night after dinner (open till 10pm) and there was no one around. It was lit up. It was a whole different experience. All walking distance from the hotel and we felt very safe at night. There are tuk tuks which invariably drive past the hotel so very easy to get transport as well. The reception staff are very helpful with booking tours. The breakfast buffet has an egg station where you can order your selection of eggs cooked to your preference. Couldn’t fault anything during our stay here. I would definitely recommend this hotel for your stay in Chiang Mai.

Perfect central location for exploring Old Town. Very safe feel as well with lots of great businesses to try within 5-10 minutes. The spread at breakfast each morning was impressive and we really appreciated the extra mile the staff went to make each day special and different.
