About

Changpuak Hotel

Changpuak Hotel is a modest 2-star property on Changpuak Road, just outside the old city walls of Chiang Mai. It puts you within easy reach of the historic quarter's temples, including Wat Phra Singh and Wat Chedi Luang, and the famous Tha Phae Gate is about 1.4 km away.

The hotel is run by a family and has a relaxed, unpretentious feel. The outdoor pool and well-tended garden are the heart of the place, with sun loungers and a cafe serving inexpensive meals. Rooms are air-conditioned and include soundproofing, a flat-screen TV, and an electric kettle.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Rooms can be quirky — Some guests found the bedrooms a bit unusual in layout, and comfort scores are the lowest category at 7.5/10.
  • Not a central tourist location — While close to the old city, it's not in the heart of the tourist area, so some sights and markets require a short walk or ride.
  • Mixed guest experiences — The majority of reviews are positive, but a few guests were disappointed, so temper expectations accordingly.
  • Limited in-room amenities in basic categories — Budget and basic room types come with fewer amenities; only the Superior Double Room is listed with shower and air conditioning.
