This is a very beautiful colonial style hotel. Our stay was wonderful from start to finish. The staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent and in a delightful outdoor setting by the lovely pool. They also had a garden cafe a 5 minute walk from the hotel on the river. We ate a late lunch there several times - their Thai ice teas were super. We would definitely stay there again.

We had a wonderful experience with Ping Nakara management and team members. Everyone was wonderful . We arrived at the hotel very early in the morning. But they did everything they could to help us check in early without extra charge. During the time we were there everyone helped us with any requests. Would recommend Ping Nakara to anybody. If we ever come back we definitely stay at Ping Nakara again.

We feel that this boutique hotel is ideal for couples, whilst it is situated in relatively quiet area it is a short walk to a river cruise as well as a really large night market with over a hundred food and clothing stalls. There are ample restaurants within an easy walk, it's only 15 minutes from the airport by taxi and 5 minutes from the old city by tuk tuk. The staff here are amazing, they are warm and friendly and really go out of there way to care for their guest's. The hotel has that old colonial feel, it has a lovely pool and serves a very good breakfast. Mr Noom works the tour desk and can not only take you on a tour, he can advise you on a tour that suits your tastes. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and would gladly stay here again. We even got taken for drive in the 1966 Mercedes.

Wonderful boutique hotel in colonial planter style
A wonderful boutique hotel in colonial planter style. Located very conveniently to some larger hotels and independent restaurants, but the highlights are within the hotel: the pool, library-bar, breakfast terrace, delightful spa, and the rooms themselves. The hotel car is a beautifully maintained Mercedes 220 and the staff are friendly and helpful. Overall, a wonderful experience.

A wonderful gem filled with a colonial air of teak and art - no restaurant for dinner was not as big of a problem as thought as easy places nearby and felt like a guest in a lovely home. Would stay again

The hotel is fairly new, but was built in the colonial style, giving it a unique character. The staff is well trained and attentive, and the Thai massage is the best I had anywhere in Thailand. The area is quiet, and the greenery around the pool/dining area makes it feel like a little oasis. I highly recommend this place ! Gabrielle Korell

A beautiful old colonial hotel in impeccable condition, room spacious with late en suite bathroom, free mini-bar, excellent staff and delicious included breakfast with both Thai and American options both from a menu and buffet. There is also a free car service for the area. They took us to pick up our train tickets the day before. The service is impeccable! There is an infinitely pool and a cozy library with many art and travel books and we had a well-made cocktail during their 2-for1 Happy Hour! We highly recommend this hotel!

We had an amazing stay at Ping Nakara. It is a beautiful boutique hotel located downtown. The facilities are done in the Lanna Colonial style. It is a beautiful, relaxing and picturesque home away from home.

เป็นโรงแรมที่ตกแต่งสไตล์ Colonial Style ที่ทำได้ดีมากๆ ห้องกว้าง และ สะอาดมาก ตกแต่งได้ดี ส่วนห้องน้ำก็กว้างมากเช่นกัน และ ที่สำคัญนั้น rain shower นั้นน้ำแรงมากๆ เรียกว่า ไม่เคยเจอน้ำแรงขนาดนี้มาก่อนเลย ที่เคยพักมาก็จะน่าจะเป็นที่ Sofitel Manila Plaza Hotel ที่เดียวที่น้ำแรงแบบนี้ ใครชอบอาบ rain shower จะต้องชอบมากแน่ๆ เลย พนักงานเอาใจใส่ดีมาก เตียงนอนสบาย และ อาหารเช้าก็อร่อยด้วย

The best hotel I’ve ever stayed at!
My husband and I stayed here during our trip to Chiang Mai and it exceeded our expectations. The hotel staff is SO friendly and accommodating, the views are beautiful, the rooms are cozy and spacious and the free breakfast is delicious (as is their room service menu). We also had massages here and they were so relaxing. I have nothing but good things to say about Ping Nakara and we cannot wait to stay again!

The property feels dripping in history and warmth. The rooms are comfortable and beautiful as well as spacious. There is a fabulous French restaurant with afternoon tea attached to the back that looks out on the river. It's hard to leave, but the tour company Lanna boutique is also in the lobbey and Mr. Noom is engaging and personalizes everything. The hotel's location is near the river and the night market, easy 5 minute walk. Breakfast by the pool delicious and relaxing.
