Bella Nara Hotel Chiang Mai

This hotel must have been hyped up! The room layout felt cramped and a bit strange – how can 30 square meters feel so small? For this price, I really feel like it's not worth it. The slippers were super cheap and poor quality, and the toothbrush bristles were so hard I was afraid they'd make my gums bleed, so I didn't even dare to use it. Good thing I only booked one night out of curiosity... what a relief!

The hotel room was very clean and tidy. The location is excellent, within walking distance to Nimmanhaemin Road, and there are many breakfast spots nearby, offering both savory and sweet options. It's also close to a popular, award-winning coffee shop.

The hotel is very photogenic, with a unique French style. The staff primarily speak English, so if you only speak Chinese, communication can be difficult and you'll need to use a translation app.

The hotel's style is absolutely stunning. Breakfast was just okay. The location is excellent, only a ten-minute walk to Nimman One. It's also not far to take a taxi to the Old City or the airport. The hotel staff were lovely. The swimming pool water was really, really cold.

Mediocre at best, and definitely not good value for money. The common areas were decent, but the room itself was tiny, with no balcony and very poor lighting. Breakfast was just okay.

I ended up extending my stay for another day and was generally very happy with everything. The pool was a bit awkward, but it wasn't the right season for swimming anyway. It's only a 5-minute walk to One Nimman and about 6-7 minutes to Maya. Highly recommend!
