De Charme Hotel is a classy boutique hotel right in the center of Chiang Mai’s old city (inside the moat). The building is colonial style, white walls and dark wood features with big windows letting a lot of light into an airy interior. As new place among so many aging guesthouses, its comfort and cleanliness level simply stand out to describe what it offers. Suitable for couples or families as well as cultural travelers who appreciate being walking distance from major temples but having a quiet beautiful sanctuary to return, there is no backpacker party vibe here; something more respectable that invites calm sets the atmosphere.

Quick Take - De Charme Hotel

  • ✓ Just a short walk from the famous Wat Phra Singh temple and main Sunday Walking Street market, you can easily access all the top sights on foot. The location is superb.
  • ✓ Feeling relaxed and clean, mixing modern amenities with traditional Thai decor, photogenic pleasant interiors.
  • ✓ There is a good saltwater swimming pool, which is a lifesaver after a hot day of temple hopping, although the water can be cool as it is often shaded by the building.
  • ✓ The staff are smiling, polite and helpful in arranging tours or taxis. English proficiency among housekeeping or night staff may just be at a basic level.
  • × As in most of Thailand, the mattresses are very firm(hard). This can be construed as uncomfortable by some western travelers who associate firmness with softness.
  • × The food is edible but often described asrepetitive for a hotel this price range. Limited selection of Western options available, average coffee.
  • × The Wi-Fi signal can be inconsistent; during peak evening hours, it may drop in the far corners of the rooms, making video calls difficult.

Complete Review - De Charme Hotel

  • Worth the Price Very good value for the Old City; you get near 4-star conditions for a price only slightly higher than a standard guesthouse.
  • Service Experience Service is friendly and typically Thai in the best way, though communication can sometimes be simple.
  • Location Location is 5/5; staying inside the moat walls is the best choice for a first visit to Chiang Mai as you are in the cultural epicenter.
  • Area Vibe Safe and clean by Asian standards-within a short walking distance of 7-Eleven stores, massage parlors, and dozens of cafes.
  • Cleanliness Level Well maintained. The bright open corridors always look swept and tidy.
  • Breakfast Experience Breakfast is functional (eggs, toast Thai dishes) but not a gastronomic highlight.
