The Duangtawan Hotel is clearly a tourist hotel and meant to impress with lots of marble and large lobby, although the front desk was oddly on the 2nd floor. It is not a boutique hotel with individual character. Having said that, the hotel does appear to be relatively new (I stayed in Feb 2005). My room was in fine shape, not worn out at all. The pool was gorgeous with lots of lounging options. The breakfast buffet was very extensive, and included Asian dishes (stir fry, rice porridge, etc.), continental breakfast items (pastries, tons of fruit), salad bar from the Royal Garden Project, juices, and even made-to-order omellete chef. I found the staff to be professional. Location next to the Night Bazaar was perfect. I would definitely stay again on my return visit. Was this review helpful?

If your room faces the north, you have an excellent view of the hills and the Doi Suthep Temple. My room had this fabulous view of Doi Suthep and the Night Market. The rates at this hotel are very reasonable - US$40 for a standard room with buffet breakfast. Walk out of the hotel, turn right and you will be at the Night Market - a hub of activity with stalls selling traditional northern Thai handicraft, fake goods and souvenirs. There are many travel agents just around the corner of the hotel in the Night Market where you can book day trips to the Golden Triangle, elephant safri tours and hilltribe tours. The hotel has an L-shaped swimming pool where you can take a dip and relax after the day's outing. Was this review helpful?

I loved the location...so much to walk to. My only complaints are that the carpet in our room was quite dirty, as was the hallway carpet, and the shower was moldy. The beds were great! We girls got our hair washed and blow-dryed for $5.00 in the salon...a nice treat. I would stay again...a great place for the price! Was this review helpful?

The receptionist at the Duangtawan was especially friendly and helpful. My husband went twice for a massage and felt the masseur had done an excellent job. The hotel's location one block from Starbucks and next to the Night Bazaar is very convenient. We would probably stay there half of our visit and spend the other half at a more Thai-style guest house surrounded by greenery in a quiet neighborhood. Was this review helpful?

The pool is exceptionally large for a hotel, though not very warm due to it's position. Staff tried to be helpful when asked, but few spoke good English and our Thai was rubbish. The location is very good, right on the doorstep of the night bazaar and a short walk to the moat and river. Overall an enjoyable stay and a good breakfast! We negotiated a good monthly rate direct with the hotel and stayed for nearly five weeks! Was this review helpful?

Room was not cleaned for 4 hours in spite of requesting reception to request room cleaning. 2. Recommend making one reservation per night as you get 2 hours free internet and 2 free items laundry for each stay and not per night. 3. Internet charges are a rip off. If your pop ups are blocked you do not see the log out screen and the system will continue deduction of your paid up time even after you switch off your system. They do not give you this information when you pay for your usbscription. 4, Many areas are not covered by the wi-fi hot spots. Was this review helpful?

Rooms in large hotels in Thailand are a little 'boring' and the atmosphere often rather dull and this was no exception. The details are not there you'd see in Europe or Australasia, BUT, for the price, could not expect more. Breakfast was great and included, and the location next to nigh bazaar fantastic. The only genuine problem with the place was the lifts.......25 stories and 4 slow lifts is not enough, sounds a small point but when you have to check out and get a flight....... I'd use the hotel again no problem. Was this review helpful?

One irritant--They only have a heavy comforter which makes beds too hot (if used) and too cool (if it isn't). It is nearly impossible to get them to replace that with a simple sheet Was this review helpful?

Also, no movie channel... Great location for those who want to be near the Night Market and western comfort zone outlets such as McDonalds, Starbucks, HaagenDaaz... Very hot Finnish saunas in the fitness center... Better than average (in Thailand)Western hotel breakfast buffet, but very little in the buffet for those oriented orientally...

I have stayed there every time i have come to thailand, culminating in a wedding reception for my wife and myselfin may .The reception that was put on for us was superb , in fact it exceeded all my expectations. From what i have experienced from my stays in the duangtawan it is a very well run establishment where everyone is very friendly and hospitable.keep up the good work because i certainly will be coming back to you when i am in thailand again.

Very close to night market, 10 mins from airport, staff very good, excellent pool and leisure facilities, very good breakfast, wifi (not cheap) good on upper floors on 16th was unreliable signal. Would suggest paypal to avoid sending credit info over unsecured network. Tours from outside the hotel are approx half price but the hotel arranged tour we had was far superior. We would definitely return. Found this booking service to be very good. Was this review helpful?
