We really enjoyed the ambiance of Rainforest Changmai Hotel. It was a bit far from city center (see cons below), which meant that it was very quiet and we woke up to the sound of birds every morning. There was a lovely pool and breakfast area. The staff were also very helpful in assisting us to book activities in and around Chiang Mai. The room was basic but comfortable, with a lovely rustic bathtub. We were able to do laundry here for much cheaper than the price offered by many other hotels.

Though we enjoyed the quieter location, we didn't find many great places to eat, shop, etc. within walking distance of the hotel. To get to the old city/market area, you need to take a taxi or tuktuk which is relatively cheap but a bit out of the way.

We had amazing time in the hotel! The bed was super comfy, wide, very good bed linen. And it was so comfortable to sleep in a such quiet place full of cool air. Staff is very friendly and well-coming. Breakfast is amazing (eggs station, pancakes, delicious yogurt, some savory dishes, a big choice of veggies, ripe fruits) and located in a such nice building with a great view to a swimming pool (we couldn’t stop comparing the place with Ubud!). The hotel is located a bit aside of all activities, but you will get unbelievable quietness, there are a few places to eat around + you can eat at the restaurant. Also it’s easy to go to the old town (the gate) with Grab or red pickups, price is around 60-120 thb. One minus: we couldn’t fill our nice bathroom as a water tap was placed very strange - lots of water was going back to the pipe.. We were trying to become engineers and put a stone and a plate there but unfortunately we were not engineers and that idea didn’t work properly :)

The staff were friendly and helpful, the breakfast was sufficient and accommodated most tastes, they also started slightly early on a day we had a trip booked where pickup time was breakfast start time. The hotel is far enough away from the main city that you don't have the hustle and bustle, but close enough to cost 80 baht with a bolt car to most places

Water pressure in shower or the inability to change the temperature from boiling to anything other than scolding hot

The breakfast, cleanliness, and everyone says hello or good morning to you. It's clean, lots of character, two pools and cool beers. The room was great but we had no hot water on a couple of occasions, thinking it was solar issues but this was quickly rectified and we had a lovely time! Location is perfect if you want quiet after a night out and a good lay in the next day then thus is the one. Still local to everything. Thoroughly enjoyed!

One of my all-time favourite hotels and chose to come here again upon return to Chiang Mai. Pools and restaurant are exquisite, although dinner menu is limited the food is delicious. Breakfast is eastern and western with an egg station. A few kilometres from the main gate of old city, it'll only cost you about 50 baht for ride in. The best part is it's so quiet, you can hear birds and cicadas in room like you're in the forest.

Beautiful room, supercomfortable bed, luxurious sheets.

Cold water in the pool, modest selection of dishes in the restaurant - and at least the spaghetti carbonara was an absolutely minimalistic portion (breakfast buffet was plentiful, though). No good restaurants near-by. The air-con (at least in room 301) was either very cold or had to be turned off (you couldn't adjust it). The barking dogs in the alley next to the hotel make it not pleasant to walk by in the evening.

The Breakfast was absolutely brilliant with so many options available. There were cereals, pancakes, eggs, ham.as well as Asian options. The staff were charming and so helpful.

It was a pity that distance from the hotel to the night markets and food courts in the city were so great, about an 45 min walking by the most direct route. Most of the food courts don't really get going until after 18:00 so our trick was to stay in town and have an early dinner.

it is beautiful, very comfortable, not noisy. I can lounge in my room or outside of my room. Beautiful surrounding!

if I stay longer I would inquire about the fridge. When I opened the fridge no light came on and place my hand in fridge to see if it was cold . I do not believe it was working. By staying more than 1 day I will need fridge to be working , bottle water in fridge was not cold, I would like to put cold drinks in fridge and meds.

Wonderful buffet breakfast overlooking the pool and only 800 metres walk from the train station. I didn't know before arriving but the hotel do provide a free collection service from the station, we did however use this service when we left the Rainforest.

It was about a 1 hour walk from the Rainforest to the city centre and night market, but there are plenty of tuk tuks available.

Lovely traditional design, beds were huge and comfortable, best shower so far in Thailand! 2 pools were very nice, good breakfast, location was perfect for us because we needed to be next to the train station however it may be a bit far out of you aren’t looking for that.

The pools were quite shady in the afternoon and the location isn’t ideal if you don’t require the station to be close but you would be perfectly fine with a scooter and the taxi was 100 baht to town.
