The location was great, only about a 10 minute cab ride into the Old City. The breakfast that they provide is delicious and fresh.

Makkachiva

A room with a large indoor garden, a central water feature, and a traditional Asian-style wall with intricate designs.

Location: Old City
Review: Such a beautifully designed small hotel. Picture perfect in almost every way. Only criticism is that the designer had a little too much fun planning this hotel. Perfect visually, but the rooms are not well thought out functionally. Few places to place unpacked clothing. And all the furniture has faux drawers. Would help to have made them REAL drawers. Perhaps the designer needs to stay in more hotels him/herself. Otherwise a great central place to stay in Chiang Mai., by Anonymous traveler, October 30, 2017, rated 10/10 Excellent

I specifically picked this hotel because of it's location in Nimman. There are tons of small shops, art studios, restaurants to check out. Chiang Mai is also not that big so we were able to walk from the middle of the Old City back to the hotel.
