Discovered after lockdown, The Velvet Orchid has become a firm favourite of ours when in Chiangmai. This is a gracious hotel with character. Location within the walls of the Old City, Southwest, was great. Khom Chocolatier, The Faces and Huen Phen plus Wat Chedi Luang are all right there. You’re also just a short walk (outside the City walls) away from Aum - a great Vegan, Vegetarian restaurant. The workmanship employed in the bathrooms here is worth a mention - if a bit quirky (hot and cold water plus opening and closing the taps is counter to what is usual for us westerners). We’ve stayed in three different rooms over the years, and they’re all similarly high quality and well thought out - design wise.

The rooms are clean and comfortable with great AC, and there's a working elevator. The staff are really friendly and helpful; they answered all my questions and were always pleasant to talk with. There's no breakfast or coffee or anything, but you are very close to some good restaurants (more expensive ones and local hole-in-the-wall type places, like the must-try Huen Phen) and some amazing coffee (try Akha Amma!) I also loved the neighborhood -- a tiny bit less touristy than the rest of the Old Town; you could see lots of Thai families hanging out at the shops and restaurants.

Boutique hotel in a quiet side-street, yet close to major sites. Elegantly furnished in traditional Thai style. Full complement of foreign news channels. Lobby features specialty teas for sale to connoisseurs. Rare for a small three storey hotel, it has a lift/elevator. Quieter side-rooms face a neighbouring block without windows, so private. Charming antique-style brass fittings in the bathroom. Helpful and polite staff who do their best with limited English, especially Rein

The room feels a bit small but the amenities and furniture were high quality and gave a pleasant atmosphere. The Wifi was really good, connectivity everywhere in the room and high speed. The sockets were multi-standard so they also supported US connectors. There were 2 windows in 2 directions, there was a nice street view from the balcony. The hotel was quite in the middle of the Old City and close to most of the interesting attractions. The staff was very supportive, kind and available.

The property has a really nice interior design and we felt really comfortable for the one night we stayed. The staff was really kind and helpful. Everything was clean. Also the location in the old town was quite nice for reaching everything by walking.

Very central location, close to restaurants, shops and massage places. Walking distance to the Sunday market, 10 minutes. For being in the old town, it was good value. Also needed the elevator for older folks. Rooms were clean.

I had a lovely, comfortable stay here. The room was tidy and clean. It was very quite inside and out the hotel. So, good sleep was guarantueed. Overall, the value for money is just great. I really liked the location. Not too busy, but you still have a lot of eateries, massages around you in walking distance. I would definitely come back.

This is our favorite hotel in CM; always return to it. Location is excellent; in the heart of the old town, so all corners are always within walking distance reach. Rooms are always beautifully decorated with nice woodwork and beautiful furniture. Amazing price-quality ratio!
