  Terrible is an understatement

  We booked this hotel through booking.com. Looking at the pictures we were very excited to stay there, once we got there it had a completely different feel to what we were expecting. The staff were friendly on arrival and they had someone take us up to show us our rooms, apparently they had a large booking coming in and were limited on rooms, we asked to inspect them first. The rooms were tiny, old… Read moreWe booked this hotel through booking.com.

  Ideally located to many of Chiang Mai's attractions, but temporarily closed at present (2018)

  Pornping Tower Hotel is one Chiang's oldest high-rise hotels and is well situated east of downtown, between the night bazaar area and the River Ping.As well as a rang of bars and shops within, it has a good swimming pool, and a popular roof restaurant and garden which offers superb views.It was getting a range of reviews, mainly due to its age, and it is now fully closed for a period whilst underg… Read morePornping Tower Hotel is one Chiang's oldest high-rise hotels and is well situated east of downtown, between the night bazaar area and the River Ping.As well as a rang of bars and shops within, it has a good swimming pool, and a popular roof restaurant and gard… Read more

  A lot to be desired...

  My boyfriend and I stayed here for one night only (thankfully) and we were not in the least bit impressed with the hotel! My initial thoughts were that it was nice judging from pictures and upon arrival to reception... but don't be fooled! Once you go upstairs you notice how grubby and dated the entire hotel is. There is also an awful lingering stale smell in the hallways and the bedroom.. there w… Read moreMy boyfriend and I stayed here for one night only (thankfully) and we were not in the least bit impressed with the hotel!

  Very dated hotel!!

  Hotel very old and tired. Photos must have been taken when the hotel opened in 1988!! The shower wouldn't work unless you held the knob of the bath up constantly. Dried mud on the floor when we ended our room. Wires visible in loose wooden panel between the beds. Pigeons nesting the the windows which were cooing in the morning. Pros: bed was clean, close to night walking street. Pattana R, Gene… Read moreHotel very old and tired. Photos must have been taken when the hotel opened in 1988!!

  Good location for night market area, & many food places very close by, also near the bars etc.

  I've now stayed there I think five times, this time 2 weeks, so I keep going back so its OK, yes its a bit old bit dated, showing signs of wear, but better the devil you know. Its good value. Breakfast buffet is fine, pool is good, never crowded. there can be a considerable variation in room quality even on the same floor, so if when you walk in you don't like or its rough, go back down ask to see… Read moreI've now stayed there I think five times, this time 2 weeks, so I keep going back so its OK, yes its a bit old bit dated, showing signs of wear, but better the devil you know.
