Pornping Tower Hotel, Muang, Chiang Mai 50100 - Review ...
A fine hotel, the newer tower of 20 floors well constructed about 20 years ago. The guests are a good mix of Asian and European. It has a lovely old-world Lanna feel about it and in the lobby we admire the genuine quality of the marble, wood, chandeliers, very high celiling and exotic decoration. The staff are pleasant and charming. At the moment there are some signs of ‘wear and tear’, but Renovation of bedrooms is planned for May 2011. The location is excellent — near markets: night, anusarn and galare, also near river Ping - taxis, tuk-tuks and songtaews are always available.
Our view from the 18th floor made us feel as if we were in a penthouse overlooking the river ping. The quiet carpeted rooms are large, with armchairs, coffee table, desk and chair. The beds are very comfortable, and sheets and pillowcases are of the highest quality Egyptian cotton. The airconditioning is quite silent and efficient. There is a fridge and TV, but only a few channels available (including BBC world). The bathroom is all in marble. Best of all — there is no irritating muzak! There are the usual bars, disco and restaurants, but these are not intrusive.
There are plenty of restaurants outside but we dined a few times on the roof at the Blue Bat Barbecue - again, very good value and superb views of course. Breakfast quality is variable but plentiful; a fine variety of western and oriental food with good coffee and a fresh egg-making station. The service is reasonably efficient and the crockery has seen better days. By the pool there is a delightful seating area overlooking a well-kept water garden. All in all, an excellent hotel with good value for money and which we have been using for about 5 years. |
Perfect. Thank you. |

Breakfast quality is variable; good fresh omelets, but generally could be better and more varied. The service was reasonably efficient but somewhat laid back; the crockery has seen better days. All in all, an excellent hotel which we have been using for about 5 years. |

Our stay at the Pornping Tower was very good. We have stayed previously at the Pornping and enjoy the close proximity to the night bazaar. Breakfast has improved over previous stays. |

Pornping Tower Hotel, Muang, Chiang Mai 50100 - Review ...
All I can say is the room was adequate, even though it was one of the newly refurbished one’s. There is no safe in the room, and in this day and age going to reception for safe deposits should be a thing of the past. Tea and coffee making in the room is a bit of a joke, large kettle but only two sachets of coffee you’ll not use much water. Wi-Fi access is charged at 100 bht per hour don’t bother this is very expensive, go to a internet cafe or to one of the many cafes or bars that offer it free while you have a drink. Don’t book the hotel to pick you up, they charge 100 bht per person, the airport car service is only 120 bht per car and there all new cars. |
Excellent as usual |

Reasonably priced. Rooms in dire need of refurbishing. Lights in room are too dim. Cannot read in morning and evening. This hotel sometimes hosts large tour groups, making the buffet breakfast facility very crowded.
The staff is pleasant and fluent in English. |
Sawadee is ALWAYS ths best. Never have a problem with their service |

The room itself was old and outdated and I stayed in the new tower, there was nothing special about it, which was a shame in 2005 when I stayed there I had a different experience and loved the room, which is why I came back. The facilities are good, and the staff were friendly, the location was great. I was on the 14th floor, and still could hear the disco down below at night. I believe I could have paid much less somewhere else, and had a better room. Next time I go back to Chiang Mai, I will probably stay somewhere else. |
Great no problems. |

We stayed at the old building, not too spacious. We do not hear any noise from disco or bar. The best is the location, next to night bazaar. IF we planned for next year we should stray at the same hotel. |
Great job. I will use them again for my next travel plan. |

The hotel is ideally situated for the night bazar in a busy tourist part of town. The hotel staff were helpful and polite and the despite the overall downturn in tourism it was still very busy and popular. The whole hotel is a little tired and could do with redecoration but, having said that, it was not run down, was clean and had good facilities. |
The booking system was excellent. Ihad a number of changes at short notice over a protracted period and everyone of them was met within hours. Brilliant. Thank you. |

Generally the hotel is clean and nice though it look a bit old. I am not sure if they have given me the new building or old building because I remembered I saw from the reviews here that the new building is better as it will not be as noisy as the old building. When I booked, I have requested for the new building, however, during the night before the Disco is closed, I can hear the music from the Disco (I m staying at the 7th floor).
Other than that, the staffs there were nice, ops before I forget, they have timing for the hot water for shower. It s from 4pm till next morning 10am. But it was fine with us as we were out during the day.
The only bad point was on our first day, there is a power failure that last for about 1 hour in the middle of the night. It was stuffy as the windows were locked due to security and safety reason.
I will go there again, but will ask for a higher floor :) |
Booking service was fast and easy. Great service. THanks. |

This hotel is ok. The cheaper rooms are slightly dated. The buffet breakfast is average. Plus side is it located right next to Night Markets. |
Great service, thanks! |
