De Lanna Hotel

“Great location, nice pool & breakfast, no hot water”

Stayed at De Lanna for 4 nights. Location is wonderful, within walking distance to most old city attractions and walking street. Pool was refreshing, some pool towels have seen better days. Breakfast adequate. Spacious room with comfy king size bed. The only let down was no hot water after our first night. The tap fixture fell apart, it was late at night but maintenance came quickly to fit as we could turn the tap off. He was nonchalant so expect this is a normal occurrence. Sad to say we never had hot water after that. Didn’t want to cause a fuss so had cold showers for the rest of our stay. Also we have read that hot water is not guaranteed in many Thai hotels. Even the De Lanna hotel compendium warns about this as they are trying to be “green”. Average stay but not too bad in the grand scheme. We were booked to return to stay after our brief trip to Chiang Rai but decided to cancel and book somewhere else.

“Good hotel in a central area”

We had four nights in the De Lanna Hotel. The first room I was shown to was on the 2nd floor. The bed was really low to the floor and there were steps up into the room and down to the toilet.

We had four nights in the De Lanna Hotel. The first room I was shown to was on the 2nd floor. The bed was really low to the floor and there were steps up into the room and down to the toilet. There was also a step down to the balcony. I was a bit worried about the bed height as I knew I would have difficulty getting out of it and the steps were also a concern. I thought that all the rooms were like that but when i went to my companions room I saw that the ground floor rooms had normal height beds and no steps. We went to reception and the staff had no difficulty finding us a ground floor room. We had lunch in the courtyard a couple of times and it was quite nice. One evening we decided to have dinner but were told that we could only have room service, the courtyard area had been set up for a large group staying at the hotel and there was nothing available to anyone else. It was quite disappointing as we were a small group that wanted to have dinner together not in our rooms. Breakfast was ok but nothing stands out a being wonderful. The pool area was nice and there was enough enough sunbeds for the numbers using the pool. We used the laundry facilities and that worked out great. There was loads of staff in the hotel and I found anyone that I dealt with very helpful
