El Barrio Lanna- SHA Extra Plus

Firstly the location was great, a short walk to bars, shops, massage spas, and restaurants. Everywhere is easy to get to by foot, taxi/grab, or Songthaew. The hotel is extremely well kept, clean, and tidy with a nice pool. The room was spacious, with a small balcony and plenty of space for luggage. They also probably had the most comfortable beds we had in our whole 8 weeks around Thailand. Slept great, even when our room was next to the road outside (a very quiet road). Extremely clean and the cleaning staff also made our room when requested. Breakfast was also great. In a small eating room near the pool, there were plenty of coffee and tea offers, fresh fruits, waffles, Thai dishes, bread, toast, croissants, waffles, yogurt, cereals, and eggs made to order. Also, a nice touch was the free water and delicious biscuits.

Set in the back streets of the Old Town. From the street you are not prepared for what is going to reveal itself as you enter the property. The check in was swift and the room was lovely. We had the benefit of a full size bath as well as a rain shower and a separate area for repacking our cases. The bed was very comfortable and it was a shame we had such an early alarm call the following morning. We know the area relatively well and walked to a nearby area where street food was available. It would be a perfect place to explore Chiang Mai Old Town for a longer period of time

Great options for breakfast. A good selection of Asian and western dishes. Staff were always friendly and welcoming :) from the security waving and saying good morning/goodnight every time we walked in and out, to the housekeeping staff who were so respectful and accommodating. Staff at reception were always so helpful and warm. The restaurant staff surprised me with a cake and card on my birthday (without anyone in my group telling them about it)! It was such a special and thoughtful gesture - really appreciated and made my stay in Chiang Mai that much more memorable. They knew who we were by name and always made an effort to greet us and ask us about our day - and this makes all the difference to a guest when you’re visiting another country. Thank you everyone! Exceptional service and a beautiful hotel ❤️

The El Barrio Hotel in Chiang Mai offers a charming setting and is beautifully decorated in traditional Lana style with wooden finishing, creating an intimate atmosphere. The location allows for walkable access to attractions in the old town

El Barrio Lanna is far more beautiful than the pictures show! We were very pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The pool is large, clean and great for lounging, especially in the early afternoon, when the water is warmest. We stayed here for one night prior to and one night following our Mae Hong Son motorbike loop, and it was conveniently located for visiting bike rental shops (7 min walk), visiting the night market (20 min walk), and a variety of restaurants. One our first night, we booked 2 Lanna Standard Rooms and 1 Lanna Family Room; one our second night, we booked 4 Lanna Standard Rooms. The standard rooms were spacious, with among the most comfortable beds we had throughout our trip. The family room felt a little more cramped, but did have the addition of a soaking tub in the bathroom. We left the majority of our luggage at the hotel during the motorbike loop for a small fee (150 THB per bag), and they were safely returned to our rooms when we checked back in. Breakfast was available for a fee (150 THB), although hours were relatively limited. They were able to fill our water bottles as well before we headed out. We arranged transportation from the airport with the hotel. I would say that this was unnecessary, as Chiang Mai airport is very small and you are easily able to call a grab.
