Sabaidee Chiangmai Hotel

The Sabaidee was in the perfect location… everything was within walking distance or a short tuktuk ride. The overnight front desk girl was fantastic… she helped make phone calls for us, arranged for a toilet repair, and allowed us access to the employee bathrooms when the toilet repair took longer than expected (not the hotel’s fault when it busts at night and no repair places are open). None of the cons listed below are deal-breakers, and we would absolutely stay here again next time we come to Chiang Mai. 😁 Pros: - fantastic location (Northern part of Old City) - fantastic staff - daily breakfast buffet - gorgeous outdoor space - tons of amazing restaurants nearby - Super safe area - free wifi - 24-hour front desk Cons: - buildings in the area are close together so our room didn’t get much natural light - the overhead lights in the room were aggressively bright, so I had to MacGyver a bed canopy so that I could lay in bed without triggering a migraine - breakfast buffet is not veggie-friendly… every hot option had meat in it, and everything had eggs - each person gets a separate wifi login that can only be used on one device at a time… so you can’t multitask (ex: laptop and phone) - beds are typical Asian beds: very firm, and no “pillow top”… it wasn’t uncomfortable though and we slept well.

Oh, that's a great hotel! The room is very big, and the window overlooks the center of Chiang Mai City, so there are a lot of restaurants around this area. I went to an Indian restaurant. The places were clean, the staff was friendly, and they also included breakfast."

Good location, huge room, comfy mats for sitting on the floor. Otherwise not quite what we were hoping for. Room had a window, but it was facing the back alley so no natural light. Overhead lights were super fluorescent. Breakfast left a lot to be desired (hardboiled eggs, hot dogs, cornflakes) and someone kept feeding the pigeons out where you ate breakfast, so they were constantly swarming around us.
