De Naga

Walking up an alley to this secret gem, you would never guess how wonderful and beautiful the grounds are. The rooms are well thought, bed so comfortable, classy unique art on the walls, fantastic rain drop shower and separate bathtub, the room is spacious and quiet. Not to mention the murals near the sparkling pool, and ultra kind staff.. you won’t be disappointed! The hotel is located in a super fun area of Chiang Mai too.. tons of bars-restaurants and shopping.

The boutique hotel was quaint and clean. Its location was convenient. The staff were friendly and helpful. The pool was small and quite hot during the day. It has a small restaurant that gives a good buffet breakfast. Its massage spa was good. I give it a 3 star , it's actually a 3.7 but not quite a 4.

We went through an online reservation service to book the 4 star hotel show in these pictures. That hotel is and has been closed for a long time. The 2 star lodging we were given is next door. The only amenities they have is the pool shown in the photos from years back. It is old now. The original hallway to the hotel, when it was one complex has been demolished and a large tarp hung there with a big piece of furniture in front to cover the area. The ground/dirt outside where the hallway was is easily visible The room was more than adequate, with a large bathroom and a comfortable bed. The TV did not work, for 2 guests we were provided with only 1 pod of regular coffee each day to share. Next door is the hotel you see in these lovely photos. The reviews here are from when it was open. I did not comment to the owner of this hotel. I am of the belief they are fully aware of this bait and switch being perpetrated on customers. Upon arrival we were so disoriented by the stark difference of what we rented and where we were dropped off that it took quite a while to understand that in fact the online reservation service we used, Google maps and another online reservation service all were not updated to the correct information. If you book the listing it will reserve the room in the building next door. Your confirmation states you are renting a room in someone’s home. We never saw any other guests leading me to wonder if there is only the one room being rented under the original hotel’s credentials.
