5/5 Elana K. 1 year ago on Google
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.
