Come on inside the house and rest here in a warm private place in the heart of Chiang Mai. We call it a house, because we love a safe home like atmosphere where things are simply comfortable, kind and mindful that we look after our guests as a part of our family. We are the only place in the old city of Chiang Mai that has 14 swimming pools and all the private pools are temperature controlled

It's a beautiful property, though the best thing about it may be the staff. They are very well trained, with an attention to detail that is exemplary. I stayed in a Waterfall Suite and would very happily return if I went back to Chiang Mai. The breakfast was first class, too.

The Inside House is not directly located by the hustle and bustle of the main tourist area but is only a short walk away and well worth the slight inconvenience for the peaceful location, hotel quality and amazing staff. From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming and friendly. The check in process took a few extra minutes but they want to make sure every detail is covered, especially if you book any tours or airport transfers with them.
The rooms are beautifully furnished, and no detail is overlooked regarding amenities. Most hotels have hairdryers, but I have never stayed in one that also had a hair flat iron for use as well. Our rooms both had a garden tub available although we did not have an opportunity to use it as the weather was much too hot.
All meals are served in the small restaurant. We booked directly with the hotel and had an included promotion of breakfast and afternoon tea daily plus one dinner. Breakfast was ordered from a menu with many excellent choices, the tea provided an ample amount of food and the set menu for dinner was very good. The restaurant staff was always attentive and made sure to answer any questions.
The rooms and grounds were lovely but what set The Inside House apart for us was the staff. Everyone was always smiling and welcoming no matter the time of day or weather. To single out any one person for extraordinary service would be impossible as everyone we dealt with was exceptional.

What can we say.. a beautiful boutique hotel in the middle of the old town Chiang Mai.
It’s a hotel that my husband would like to go back to and that does not happen very often.
The staff are just wonderful, professional, approachable and personable. Attention to detail in the restaurant was some of the best we have experienced worldwide. It made dining a pure pleasure and we looked forward to breakfast time.
We booked via the hotel website so by doing so there are little extras included in the package.
The room/bedding was of a high quality and we slept very well every night. We had the Chedi Suite which was perfect in size and layout. A couple of minor observations but in no way did they affect our stay: Curtains did not shut completely and the pool sitting area could have done with a little more cleaning.
We did a night street food tour which was very enjoyable. (Booked independently). We booked a 4hr tour through the hotel to visit Wat Phra Singh. We thoroughly enjoyed it and the company the hotel uses was excellent.
Keep doing what you are doing Inside House, we will definitely visit again and have recommended you to our friends and family.
We must thank some of the staff: Poo, Jimmy, Eve, especially Big, she was such a breath of fresh air. I’m sorry I can’t name everyone as I know you work as a team and a jolly good one at that.

Stayed for 6 nights in the lovely and spacious Bodhi Pool Suite on the 4th floor. I booked directly with the hotel and got some extra benefits. Every morning at the Ghin restaurant we had an exquisite breakfast cooked to order. We first chose from the drinks menu where there were cold pressed juices and smoothies in addition to coffee and tea. The food menu had three courses with salads, entrees, and dessert. Daily afternoon tea was also included with the room. After morning walks to temples we refreshed ourselves in our private pool. We overlooked the main pool. I only saw it being used once. The mini bar was also included and it was stocked with beer, water, and snacks. We also ate at the Ghin restaurant a couple of times for dinner and the service and food were both great. We tip our hat to Miss Nui who is the best masseuse ever and introduced us to the wonders of Thai massage. In general, service is really top notch all around. Upon checking out they ask you to wait a few minutes until housekeeping can go through your room to make sure nothing has been left behind. They then give you a sandwich packed in a sweet little bag so you don’t go hungry at the airport! Really! Who does that?! I plan to return. Life is too short.

From check in until the moment we departed for the airport in the house Mercedes, our two days at the Inside House exceeded our expectations.
Check in was swift and friendly and as we were a little early, our room wasn't quite ready and we were escorted to the patio to have afternoon tea (included in rate) which was very good and enhanced by the outside location.
We had a Bodhi Pool Suite which was clean, light and spacious and as the name of the room suggests, our own pool on the balcony.
Treats and a bottle of bubbles were waiting for us in the room and I was delighted that they use one of my favourite L'occitane amenities. There was a shower cubicle and a bath tub in the good sized bathroom and the bed was large and very comfortable. There was even a packaged nail clipper provided - something I have never seen provided in a hotel!
All the staff we engaged with were helpful and friendly and we both thought the location of the 'House' was ideal for walking in and around the city. The Wat Phra Singh temple is only a few hundred yards from the house and is certainly worth a visit.
Our rate included breakfast and one complimentary dinner which were both very good and I found eating breakfast sitting near the Bodhi Tree was a very pleasant experience.
The only slight niggle was the noisy traffic and soi dogs at night that could impact on light sleepers, however, ear plugs are provided and this was no fault of the establishment.
We were only here for two nights and I could have stayed longer if our itinerary wasnt so congested and I wouldn't hesitate booking here again.
An excellent stay!

My wife and I stayed at the Inside House in the DOI SUTHEP pool suite and it honestly couldn't have been more wonderful. The suite was on the pricier side for Chiang Mai but it was very well worth it. The suite itself is large and beautiful with amazing views but the private (heated) pool is absolutely a treat.
The facility itself is stunning and the onsite dining is absolutely amazing. We only had the included breakfast and the afternoon tea, but the attention to detail in everything they served elevated both meals.
Finally, the staff were amazing from picking us up at the airport, checking us in and welcoming us, and serving food and drinks. They hand made special treats for our honeymoon which was a wonderful surprise and the speed at which any room service request was filled made us feel like we were the only people in the hotel.
This is my first review as I felt compelled to create an account just to let people know how great our stay was.

Everything about our four night stay at The Inside House was magnificent. Upon arrival the staff were really friendly and helpful, we were shown around the hotel and got a great run down about the room and what was included in our package. We had one of the King Rooms with Balcony and it was just such a tranquil space with a real air of colonial splendour.
Booking direct meant we got some perks thrown in, including 4 items of laundry per day (really useful), the fabulous afternoon tea and dinner at the hotel for one night.
The dining room was a real treat. A great breakfast menu with some interesting choices. The Pad Thai Scramble was a really great breakfast, a real twist on the classic Pad Thai. Afternoon Tea was a real surprise with a great selection of patisserie and cakes. We looked forward to that each day.
It was great to be able to sit on the balcony and the high living garden wall was a really clever way of hiding what was probably an uninspiring view.
Location is great being inside the old town itself and it's just a 5/10 minute walk to the main temple and walking market street.

From the moment we were greeted by a smiling Annie at the airport and collected in the air-conditioned car complete with complimentary water we knew we were in safe hands but it only got better. After a detailed description of what was included in our stay (which was basically everything) and welcome drink we were shown to our lovely room. We found a welcome card with bubbly and treats there. I cried...partly due to exhaustion after Bangkok! This hotel should give lessons to others. The room, food and service are exceptional. The staff really represent 'the land of a thousand smiles'. The location is perfect for visiting local temples and you can get taxis from the hotel for further exploration. However you won't want to venture too far or you could miss the complimentary afternoon tea! Don't miss a massage in the lovely spa or forget to relax by the pool either. All in all an incredible experience and we would have loved to stay longer. The Inside house has spoiled us for all other hotels. Hopefully we will get back one day. Thank you to all. Khop khun kha 🙏

We have had several wonderful hotel experiences here in SE Asia, but I'm inspired to write a review of the Inside House, because it really stood out! There was so much attention to detail. The beautiful room was loaded with freebies; all the drinks in the fridge were free of charge, from beer to soft drinks changed daily, and they had a bottle of sparking wine and fruit waiting for us in the room! In the bathroom there were lots of free toiletries: beside toothbrush/toothpaste razor, and the usual items, there was a lip balm stick, mouthwash, a face mask, 2 kinds of lotion, and even a nail clipper! The breakfast, included in the price, was extensive, but not a buffet. You could order as much as you wanted from the menu (croissants and sweet rolls were on the table) extensive drink selection, a salad category, and the main dishes, which were made to order. The daily tea was fancy and yummy, and I even had it for lunch! We had a private pool (no need for bathing suits!) but the "big" pool was beautiful, and definitely worth going to for more of a swim, and the ambiance. Best of all were the staff, who made it seem that all they wanted was to make us happy in any way they could! For instance, when I said that we'd be gone all day to an elephant sanctuary and would probably miss "tea", they said they would save it and bring it to our room when we got back... which they did! What could be better?

If you don't want to read my whole review - I LOVED IT. 5 stars.
My husband and I spent only two days in Chiang Mai in Sept 2024 - nowhere near enough time to enjoy this glorious hotel, nor this wonderful city. From the moment our driver met us at the train station we knew we were in for a treat. The hotel is immaculate - clean, well kept, and simply stunning. We were greeted by a lovely associate named Amp, who was beautiful, kind, friendly, and just everything you could ever want in a hostess. We can't say enough great things about her. She set the tone for the whole stay and never disappointed. We made sure to get her name because she deserves the highest praise possible in this review (please also note there wasn't a single staff member who was any less than incredible, they're all top tier).
We stayed in the Doi Sothep suite, which is exactly as pictured on every website and review you've seen. We thought the photos were better than we could imagine - nope, they were identical to the reality. The value you get for this place - I've attached a photo of the afternoon tea and WOW. Just WOW. We also got a 30 min complimentary massage and a set sit down dinner we didn't have time to avail of - I'm sure, like the rest of this place, they'd have been out of this world. The value for your dollar here is through the roof. We also used the complimentary 8 item laundry service, as this visit was in the middle of a two week trip. Zero issues, great laundry service.
They packed a us a small breakfast on day one because we had an early morning excursion. We regretted not ordering a breakfast ahead of time - as they offered - because the sit down one we had the next day was indescribable. I'm sure everything else we never got to taste in the restaurant was just as exceptional.
The day we left they also packed us a little snack for the flight. Again, amazing, personal touches and it was the highlight of our 10 day stay in Thailand. You simply can't beat this place. If I were to come back to Thailand it would be to this beautiful city and this incredible hotel.

Hi!
As a senior without any children, I actually prefer non-kid-friendly hotels 😳 but I will say that there were a lot of families with young children. The pool area is decent and the dining room staff bent over backwards to accomodate families. It isn’t like a resort with lots of family-related activites, and in Chiang Mai, location doesn’t really matter as it is so wide-spread. We could always find a TukTuk or Taxi. Hope this helps!
There are more places to choose from in the Chiang Mai area.
