    A wonderful boutique hotel in a fantastic location in the Old City. Located on a quiet street within easy walking distance to the all-important 7-11 (2 mins) and a fantastic spa (Makkha Spa, 7 mins). The street the hotel is located on is easy for cars and songtaews to access and is well lit even at night. The hotel staff are incredibly polite and sweet. The complimentary breakfast was excellent and there were enough choices of breakfast sets that you could have a different breakfast every day for a week. Mix of western and Asian style options for you to order a la carte, which I loved as it meant your food was cooked to order. Good, real coffee with complimentary refills if you ask. The juice isn’t real juice so skip that if you aren’t into orange sugar water. Breakfast is served from 6am until noon, which I’ve rarely encountered in my travels and very much appreciated. It means you can have breakfast before an earlier activity or sleep in and not feel rushed to get to breakfast on other days. Check out is also a leisurely 12:00 and they will let you leave your luggage at reception if you aren’t leaving right away. Note that the lobby is open air so hanging out in the afternoon whilst waiting for an evening flight can be a hot and sweaty affair during the hotter months. Our deluxe room with twin beds was perfectly suitable for two people. Air conditioning worked great, bathroom was a good size, plenty of hot water that stayed at a stable temperature and excellent water pressure. As many reviews have mentioned, this hotel is very clean in part due to the no shoes policy and also in part due to diligent housekeeping. The property is beautiful and modern, the ambiance is calm and soothing. We didn’t spend any time in the library but it was very cute. Would not hesitate to come back for another stay!

    The hotel has a beautiful design and stunning courtyard area for breakfast. The rooms are pleasantly designed and the rooms on ground floor have small patio. The breakfast options are good and offer western and Asian options that are generous in portion size. The location in the old city is superb - you are mins away from a plethora of cafes, landmarks such as the temples and the famous Sunday evening walking street. The one thing I would say is there are noice issues between the rooms of the hotel. Very little sound insulation - thus you will hear bangs and crashes from families with kids and comings and going from the hallways. Some ear plugs are recommended.

    Supernice and clean Hotel! The staff is extremely friendly and attentive. They really set an example and can keep up with any 5-star Hotel in the world. The room is small but cozy and nice. Good value for the money. Don‘t expect a lot of luxury - this is perfect if you want a cute and beautiful little place where you feel welcome and safe. The breakfast should be completely redone though - it‘s not good at all. Neither the selection, nor the quality and presentation. But that didn‘t bother us at all - there‘s tons of amazing cafe‘s in the area nearby. The location is also absolutely amazing. This is my favorite Hotel in Chiang Mai and I will come back! Absolute recommendation!

    Probably the most beautiful hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The breakfast is delicious and included in the room rate. Amazing location with so much within walking distance. There’s even a library! It really is a dream.

    Probably the most satisfied hotel experience. Very nice setup and about 5 minutes walking distance to the central town. Don't miss their breakfast, many options to choose from and super delicious too. Remember to close the door or there maybe some mosquitoes or other small animals (very nature-friendly ya

    My wife and I stayed at this hotel for 1 month and truly enjoyed it. Really courteous staff that heartwarmingly greet you at the door. Staff that will remind you to take a umbrella when it’s about to rain, advise you on where to visit (e.g. walking street) or eat (we had the best mookata which was recommended by the staff @ only 199 THB per person). Breakfast comes with a variety of options (big breakfast, porridge, fried rice, fried noodle, etc.) all tasty with a serving of hot tea/coffee, glass of orange juice, and serving of local fruits. Rooms are extremely clean and stocked with free fruits and beverages. The location of the hotel is convenient with quick access to the Sunday night market. Wifi is great and I enjoyed working from the library where it is quiet and had a wonderful view. Would highly recommend and will revisit.

    This hotel is lovely and a very relaxing and classy place to stay. The rooms are not very big, but sufficient and in a very good location. The design of the hotel is probably one of the nicest I have ever visited. See the photos. The staff are the best. Nothing is too much or a problem. The only thing I would change is the breakfasts. They have set menus. Set 1,2,3,4,5 etc. it seems you are stuck to what they offer in each set. I would have loved scrambled eggs on toast, but it was not on the menu. Only fried or omelette. A little flexibility on the menu would have been perfect. If there was a pool I would class this to being 5 star.

    Phenomenal hotel! I stayed at both Makka and their sister hotel, Makkachiva, and loved my experiences! Fantastic hospitality and quiet walkable location (7eleven, Wat Chedi Luang, Sunday market). Breakfast is delicious and their library is beautiful. Highly recommend!!

    Lovely hotel in a very charming neighborhood with a lot of cafes, restaurants and shops. This hotel has a boutique feel and offers great value. The breakfast was super good and the team looked after us really well! Definitely coming back here next time we make a trip to chiang mai!

    Booked via Agoda many months ahead. Strategically located on a small alley but almost in the centre of old city. Super convenient to walk to all corners within the four walls. Hotel has this zen and calm aura the minute you walk in. Lots of trees providing cool shades. Courteous and English speaking front desk. A breeze to check in. No shoes rule in the living building - you have to change into slippers they provided in the shoes cabinets. We went bare feet at times. Wooden floor has this squeaky feeling whenever you walk on it… the least favourite part of my stay. Rooms are designed simple and zen… white walls, dark wood furnished on everything - bed frame, mirror frame, tables, cabinets, etc. we love their breakfast - 6am to 12pm I think. So many options to choose from, my favourite is beef soup noodles - in fact I had it every morning for 5 days in a row! So good! There are rice selections, western breakfast too. Each breakfast set came with coffee/tea, juice (orange mainly), and cut fruits bowl. We spent quiet moment post breakfast just to hang around in the beautiful breakfast area every morning. No other amenities - no gym, no pool. It’s a small chic hotel ideal for couples to spend their time in Chiang Mai. Limited parking space at the front of hotel. Within 5 mins walking distance, many attractions and good eats. I recommend Kati for brunch, and Blue Noodle for late lunch. Highly recommended.

    Very cool place. It is a temple like building with cozy rooms and a tiny yard. I even saw a squirrel climbing up the trees. Location is very good, only a few minutes from the major temples of Chiang Mai. Service and free breakfast is splendid, which makes me feel very comfortable. Strongly recommended.

    Overall is an excellent experience living in Makka Hotel. Convenient location within walking distance in most of tourist attractions. Weekend night market just in front of the hotel Room is clean and quiet Excellent service and friendly staff who always will help you whenever you need it. I would recommend my friends and family to live here :-)

  • 5/5 Muhd A. 6 months ago on Google
    The place was clean, cozy, and the service was excellent. The hotel is located near many temples and night markets. The staff was always welcoming and friendly. Although the breakfast was served as a set menu rather than a buffet, the food was delicious and the portion size was decent. I loved the simplicity of the room, and the bed was very comfortable. The pillow was the best part of my stay! On Sunday night, the main road leading to the hotel will be blocked due to the Sunday night market from evening until 11 p.m. If you thinking of driving and using maps or Waze, it may be difficult to navigate to the hotel. I had to park quite far away from the hotel, but the staff were kind enough to assist me by using a motorbike to guide me to the hotel. Thank you so much for that!

    Nice design & 5 star service. Downside :- 1) WiFi very unstable 2) taking off shoes system cumbersome 3) I don't know why no hot water in the morning 4) breakfast not so delicious

    I was initially put off by the relative lack of reviews for this hotel, but we were very happy with our stay here! Makka Hotel is located in a quiet alley, conveniently in the center of Chiang Mai Old Town. If you look on Google Maps streetview, the alley looks a bit questionable, but actually once you are there it is rather nice, and a good cut through between two busier streets. You will even find a couple of good restaurants immediately on the alley (one right across from the hotel), a barber shop, a couple other hotels, etc., so while it is quiet, it is far from lifeless. The hotel itself has the likeness and serenity of a pristine temple. You must even remove your shoes to enter, and then contend with the slick and flawlessly polished floors. The staff could not be more helpful or gracious. They helped us with our bags (in more ways than one, since our luggage was initially delayed by the airline), and also booked a private driver to take us to the mountain temples. The breakfast area and surrounding grounds are beautiful. They take your breakfast order each morning and bring it to you accompanied by fresh fruit, bread, and drinks. There is also a "secret" breakfast menu with smaller items, like yogurt, if you don't want something too heavy. There is a library, which is stunning, though I must admit I did not use it other than to marvel at its beauty. The room itself was large and very clean. I can be quite fussy about the latter, but it met my standards. The bed was comfortable. The fridge is stocked with complimentary drinks. The A/C works very well. I was deliberate about booking a room with no balcony, to avoid bugs getting in, though I will say Chiang Mai was one of the least "buggy" places we visited on this trip to Southeast Asia. In short, I liked everything. I will note, for those who want one, that there is no pool or spa or on-site restaurant, aside from the dining area for breakfast. Communication prior to the trip (via email) was a little spotty, with some emails going unanswered, I assume due to a language barrier. That said, the service and all else was flawless once we were there.

    Makka Hotel lives up to its founding philosophy of providing a space for people to have a peaceful mind and to let go of all your sufferings. It’s staff are all genuinely kind and compassionately helpful. The breakfast they serve is also made with care and love. The bedroom, corridor and library it has designed are simple but elegant. And it’s also convenient located for you to walk around in the Old City of Chiang Mai where you have so much to explore and admire.

  • 1/5 Kagerer J. 1 year ago on Google
    Highly incompetent staff, manager not really available. I wanted to pay the same rate like on booking.com as I was a walk in - they didn’t understand. I tried to explain them that they need to pay a lot of commission to Booking.com, but they didn’t care and let me wait for a long time and couldn’t figure it out. So I left. Disappointing when staff doesn’t have basic English skills nor business understanding and manager doesn’t care.
