Royal Lanna Hotel

Room is very spacious and clean. Hot water flask available. Bed is comfortable. Air-con working well. Bathroom comes with a bathtub as well. Pool is small but I enjoy my time there as there's no one else using it. Staff are friendly. No buffet breakfast, but its set breakfast is alright, quite filling. It's in a good location, very close to a number of night markets and food streets, and a mall with supermarket. Walking distance to Chinatown area.

Quite difficult and troublesome to adjust the temperature of the hot water for showering.

In the heart of the Night Market area in the middle.of Loi Kroh Rd meant lots.of eateries and shops, money changer etc - though prices drop if you wander a bit further afield. Old world opulence now some what faded but adds to the charm. Large room with a good view over the town and a full size bathtub. Breakfast was mix western/Thai and although selection was small, the helpings were fine and good to fill up to face the day Great swimming pool on the 4th floor - decent size and seemed to always be cool and clean.

As mentioned, things are a bit worn and the bed typical Thai hardness but like I say, it added to the charm.

This place really grew on me. I thought I would give it a bad review for being so old, but it's definitely got a certain charm to it. The staff were always pleasant. Everything was cleaned daily. The location can't be beat if the night markets are your thing. The breakfast is pretty good. The rooms are huge. The view is nice, but a little blocked from the other hotels. The a/c is powerful, but the controller, in my room anyway, was tricky to use. Elevators are pretty quick.

The washroom situation isn't great. The shower head cant be adjusted and they installed the towel hanger at the back of the shower so you have to find another spot for the towels when you shower. Additionally the curtain is hard to position in a way that doesn't get the floor wet. The toilet is an old-fashion public washroom toilet. The building really shows its age, especially the exterior. The key is just a key, not a key card.

Breakfast was the typical hodgepodge of Asian and Western buffet with your choice of eggs on the side. Adequate and staff were helpful but hardy extravagent. Allowed me to fill up for the day, that was good. The rooms are large and airy and the airconditioning perfect. Views of the surrounding city (from the 15th flr) were great. Pool on the 4th floor was large, clean and cool - really nice for an afternoon or morning cool off and generally uncrowded. 2 elevators so the wait times were low. Hard Rock Cafe just to the front of the building and opposite a 24hr McDonalds. Several food and souvenior markets within walking distance and LohKroh Road night life a 100 or so meters away.

At first glance there is no one about at reception. Usually they are hidden in the back (airconditioned) office and you need to yell out to get their attention. However, once checked in, using the inhouse phone system the response was fast and efficient.

I dont know why others say it was run down.I was pleasantly suprised.Would defiantly stay again.Breaky is great.Turn left out the drive and go 300m to the intersection.On the left corner you will find one of the best restaurant/pub thats airconditioned in town

I would live there if I could buy a room

* Best thing about the stay in the Royal Lanna was the staff, hands down. Cheerfulness, willingness to help and an overall good job, whether it was cleaning, security, reception or breakfast. 10/10 * Location is good as well (with an exception noted below). Since it is located within the Loi Kroh road, the nightlife venues of Chiang Mai are within arm's reach. The old town is within a comfortable walking distance as well. As for everything else, let us be honest, Chiang Mai is balanced for cars/bikes rather than walking or public transportation. * The room was spacious, the bed was comfortable and the air conditioning was working well.

* The lighting, the arrangement of the room and the datedness gave an initial bad impression upon arriving in the evening. That said, a good nights rest and natural light the next day improved the situation, however the room could really use some lighting improvement or furniture rearrangement or a refurbishment. Or even all of the above. * The location value of the hotel is heavily dependent on the livelihood of the Loi Kroh road and the Night Bazaar. If it is alive, it should be amazing, however since I came to Thailand as it was just opening up, Loi Kroh was barely open, hence making the location lose much of its potential value.

Within walking distance to most of the bars. Quiet most of the time. Competent staff

A silly thing. My rubber soles squeaked quite loudly walking on the floors So did others, not as bad as mine though.

It’s a very nice hotel and a very convenient price Room is big and clean, bathtub was nice. Very close to the beach, acceptable breakfast and small but nice pool

Breakfast could have more variety of food and better coffee. But in overall it’s a very good place to stay

location was very good for the night bazaars , good wifi, good size room

very dated , needs a refurb, but we understand these things cost a lot of money and times have been bad the last few years

Great room very large and comfortable with comfortable beds.

Very much understaffed. Reception non existent,, as I waited ten minutes for someone to turn up. No porter, no doormam, no luggage trolleys, so difficult for an eighty year old with cases.
