this beautiful 'colonial home' has impeccably clean rooms with lovely furnishings, large bathrooms and even turn down service. the infiniti pool and its surroundings lends itself to a serene escape from the hustle bustle of the city. the staff here should also be noted as they are extremely helpful, friendly and accommodating. incidentally the morning breakfasts were plentiful and quite...

This is a very small hotel (5 tables in restaurant,17 rooms). At anything near full occupancy, I can't imagine what it would be like. The building is L-shaped, the long edge facing directly onto road (other than a narrow pavement). A lane runs behind. In short, two sides of the hotel are flanked by roads. Traffic noise is quite considerable.... More

Dear Guest, We are very sorry that our hotel did not appeal to you. We work hard to develop the soul of our colonial house style property, and so many of our guests are happy being here as one can see from TripAdvisor’s reviews. I should correct some mistaken facts about the hotel. Our restaurant has twelve tables both indoor... More

This is the sort of hotel you just dont want to leave. It is beautiful in design, every detail has been thought of (love the pillow menu) and the staff were exceptional (this was highlighted by our previous bad experience at The Passage, Ko Samui). The location is near the night market and the river and a short tuk tuk... More

Throughout our trip in Thailand we stayed at several fantastic hotels, of which Ping Nakara was our favourite, unfortunately we only styed for one night. The building is as beautiful as it look in the photos, the food in the restaurant is very good and I really enjoyed the Thai breakfast. We also found the service provided by the staff... More

Everything about this place is wonderful. The boutique hotel with just 19 rooms is a colonial design with period piece furniture throughout. The architecture and decor is delightful. There is a lovely pool in the centre of the property with a veranda to sit and relax. The room I was in was large and had a balcony. There is free... More

Great stay at Ping Nakara. The building is as charming as the photos suggest. Loved getting picked up at the airport by a uniformed driver in a vintage Mercedes. Excellent service at the front desk with all the basic stuff (help getting songthaews, tuktuks, directions, etc.) and providing DVDs, special pillows, etc. Pretty good breakfast in a nice setting.

The Ping Nakara is stunning, with beautiful external areas and rooms. The restaurant is very nice, the bar does tasty smoothies and cocktails, the staff are extremely helpful. We found it pretty much perfect in every way! There is some traffic noise from the busy street - but to be honest the room was still quieter than most we stayed... More

This was a perfect hotel to finish our trip in Thailand. It’s a fabulous colonial style boutique hotel that has all you need in this great city. The staff were always willing to help, the rooms were very comfortable and they had everything you need even a great pillow menu. The room had plenty of space, very clean, great bathroom... More

Stayed here with my girlfriend in december and from the moment we arrived I didn't really feel that my money was spent well. The room was fine but the noise from outside during the nights was terrible. I suppose people from outside could probably hear what we were saying as well, as the door to our room was very thin....

Dear Guest, The Ping Nakara was built in the colonial style of a grouping of houses, so it is true that the hotel looks like a large house—or, in fact a very large house. With the total floor space of over 37,500 square foot there is plenty of space for 19 large rooms, 4 spa rooms, restaurant, library, bar and... More

My wife and I have just returned from our first visit to Chiang Mai. We stayed at the Ping Nakara boutique hotel. The hotel houses about a dozen spacious and very comfortable rooms. Our balcony overlooked the pool on the first floor which most rooms do offering peace and tranquility unlike the front of the hotel which, is on a... More
