“Bodhi Serence is an excellent mid range choice in Chiang Mai”

I stay in Chiang Mai for about 10 days a year to write reports, marketing plans, and to get some down time. I've stayed in other CM hotels but Bodhi Serene is my choice.

I stay in Chiang Mai for about 10 days a year to write reports, marketing plans, and to get some down time. I've stayed in other CM hotels but Bodhi Serene is my choice. If you read through the review you will see several complaints, which are valid to a point. But the good far outweighs and downside. The hotel courtyard where breakfast is served is beautiful. The breakfast is adequate, but has much more than I usually eat at home. You can get buffets at the larger famous hotels, at three times the price or more, and your room will probably be less attractive.. The location has several good restaurants nearby, even a great vegetarian restaurant. You will rarely pay $10 for a very good dinner. If you worry about sleeping my choice is always two singe beds in a room. I don't care where you stay or what you pay, a king size bed will sink in the middle. I stay in the same twin bedded room every stay, they are the best value in the Bodhi. The pool is large enough for a decent swim, unlike in most hotels in ChiangMai which are usually tiny. Chiang Mai is a center for Thai massage. The area is safe with a sign often posted that extra sexual services are not offered. You can find that outside of the city walls if that's your thing. Inside the city wall is really about the quiet majesty of incredibly beautiful temples and art, many are centuries old and very comforting and comfortable for a visit. .The downsides: Not much storage space in the rooms which is fine for two or three day stay, but who wants to live out of a suitcase for a longer stay? The Internet is unpredictable, usually on, but does drop. You can see the reason by looking at the telephone poles outside the hotel. The cable system is a mess. Mosquitoes can be a problem in the rainy season, so it's essential to add repellent, which can be bought at the 7-Eleven just across the street $1.50. If you are looking for comfortable stay at a mid range price the Bodhi Serence is an excelent choice.

“Hotel is OK”

Hotel have nice rooms, location is OK.

Hotel have nice rooms, location is OK. They give o e key only, is a problem since when you left the room electricity cut off, key need to be in the activation slot…your room temperature goes to the roof and you need over one hour to cool down back. They haven’t elevators…if you are in the fourth floor, good exercise. The staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast pretty standard.

“lovely hotel in the old town”

Great hotel, within walking distance to many of the key visitor sites. Although located on a busy street, once you enter the hotel, it provides a sense of calm, in a serene location.

Great hotel, within walking distance to many of the key visitor sites. Although located on a busy street, once you enter the hotel, it provides a sense of calm, in a serene location. The staff are very accommodating and very helpful. The hotel manager (Leticia ?), was great to deal with. All requests to the reception was actioned quickly. Easy access to many restaurants and a 7-11 is located opposite the hotel. Room was very large and comfortable bedding. Lovely open area near the pool, provides a option to relax, away from the room. Due to poor room soundproofing, noise from a nearby restaurant can be quite disturbing. Low water pressure.
