  Budget Lodging Very Close to the Old City

  12 Jun 2026

  My Wife and I are budget travelers. I have a few criteria for lodging. Clean, good location, decent security, value price. This is an older property. It’s quite big. Our room suited our purposes very well. It was clean, although there were some tiny ants in the room. But they didn’t get into anything. The aircon worked well. The bathroom was more spacious than I thought it would be. The staff was very friendly – desk manned 24 hours. The location was stellar – just about 100 meters from the northeast corner of the old city. There is a 7-11 within 15 meters of the hotel driveway. So many food options within walking distance. There is a “Moo Kratat” restaurant within about 25 meters. Didn’t eat there, but it looked new. Worth noting, there was no room safe. I did not inquire about a safety deposit box, but older properties like this usually have them. The hotel was really quiet. I believe some of the patrons may be longer-term residents that live there. Internet connection was good, not great. There is parking on the property and the driveway is large enough for your taxi to drop you and your luggage off and turn around.Overall, it was great for what we needed. If you’re looking for basic accommodations for a value price, this property will fit that just fine. Happy travels.

  A very nice budget hotel, just outside the NE corner of the old town.

  26 Feb 2024

  This is a budget hotel, but rooms are surprisingly large, with a quite large bed. Location is just outside the NE corner of the old town (Sripoom bastion); and a 15 minutes walk to Thapae square. One has to cross the busy ring road, fortunately there is a traffic signal. The Panerai hotel has been renovated for several years; it looks like a very gradual process. There are now digital TVs in all rooms. Some more renovation is needed, but for the price it is really a very nice hotel.PRO:Thin walls as is common, but noise from neighbors is not too bad.WiFi is good, though one has to log in a few times per day.digital TV with 4 English channels.The AC works good, but is a bit noisy. CON: Location is not ideal, one needs to walk to the old town.Some more renovation is called for, as the bathroom and room are dated.Sometime they accommodate large tour groups of 50 to 100 people, these can be noisy.

  Maintenance

  24 Jul 2023

  While it’s one of my favorites if they offer below 13$ prices, there is a lot of maintenance work not done during pandemic. Somebody needs to tell the pigeons it us time to move out of the balconies. It would be better to get the house up to speed before inviting guests again. Cleaning the aircons and giving everything a brush and pot of paint would help a lot. Staff is great.

  If I could rate this property a ZERO I would.

  25 Oct 2021

  My girlfriend was exposed to covid and the field hospital sent her here for quarantine and I was happy she could stay alone in a room with ONE bed and recovery quickly.Little did I know they wanted to put another covid patient in same room and share the same bed. Are they serious. How is this quarantine when you have to share a bed. Unacceptable!!!Due to their greed this hotel will get twice as much from the government for food and room. Owners are GREEDY and do NOT care about sick people only putting Baht’s in their pockets…How can someone in quarantine share one queen bed. Totally unacceptable. If two bed ok same as a shared hospital room. Ok with that but not two covid patients share same bed again they are greedy and sticky. And I will let all my friends know and tell them support this hotel and never to stay here as they are taking advantage of sick people. Many other better hotels in Chiang Mai to stay at rather then support this hotels greed.When questioned they said if she stay in room alone the charge will be 1000 THB per day. What, really are you serious?They already get money from the government for the room and food so they are gouging the sick just to be greedy and sticky and taking advantage of sick people. I have no time for greedy people and owners and again I will not ever stay at this hotel and I ask anyone with any morals and ethics to never stay here as well as owners again are taking advantage of this situation. I am going to post this one every website that I can to make everyone aware of this unacceptable greedy behavior of this hotel in a time when the Thai people are suffering enough.Shame on you Royal Panerai Hotel shame on you. You definitely do to practice Buddhism and are just full of selfishness. Karma will get you in the end..One very unhappy never to be customer.

  02 Jan 2020

  Our family have 5 days stayed here, but we have to charge all of, before we are staying, they posting really 4 stars hotel, I’m make sure only 2 stars hotel, because the room very older, When we return AC, the AC is noisy, I think the AC is broken, we would like to change another hotel, but we can not cause we charged all of nights in here, if we change we lost the money!
