Staying at this boutique hotel was a delightful experience. Nestled near the Ping River, it offered a beautiful European-style ambiance that took me back in time. The service was fantastic, always warm and attentive, but the Wi-Fi could use some improvement. While the breakfast by the pool was a highlight, the chilly water in the pool kept me from taking a swim during my winter visit.

I had a wonderful stay at Ping Nakara, a true gem in Chiang Mai. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and beautifully decorated, though a bit pricier than I anticipated for the area. The service was incredibly warm and helpful, especially from the doormen who assisted with my day trips. While the dining options were good, I found the breakfast offerings to be somewhat modest. The location was convenient, albeit a bit outside the old town. Overall, the hotel offers great value for money with its luxurious ambiance and fantastic amenities.

I had an incredibly enjoyable stay at this charming boutique hotel that feels like stepping back into a more elegant time. The rooms are spacious and exquisitely furnished, though a balcony would have been a lovely addition. The service was exceptional and attentive, making my experience even more memorable. However, the dining options could definitely use some improvement, as the restaurant felt a bit small for the number of guests. Overall, a fantastic short getaway in a peaceful setting.
