Anodard Hotel Chiang Mai is a simple 2-star hotel in the heart of the Old City, on Ratchamankha Road in the Phra Sing quarter. Guests rate the location an excellent 8.6, with Chiang Mai Gate, Tha Pae Gate and the old town's temples and night markets all within a short walk or a few minutes' drive.
It is a practical, budget-friendly base rather than a boutique retreat. The four room types are set over parquet floors and sleep two to four guests; most are air-conditioned, while one twin is cooled by a fan. Every room has a private bathroom, a satellite flat-screen TV, a seating area and a wardrobe.
Useful extras set it apart from other central options: free private parking on site — a rarity inside the walls — plus a lift, a 24-hour front desk, daily housekeeping, luggage storage and a garden. There is also a public bath, while the outdoor swimming pool is currently closed for renovation.
Anodard Hotel Chiang Mai has four room types, all measuring 28 m² and sharing the same straightforward comforts: parquet floors, a private bathroom with a shower, a satellite flat-screen TV, a seating area, a wardrobe and free Wi-Fi. What changes is the bedding and who each room suits. The Standard Double has one double bed, the Standard Twin two singles, and the Standard Quadruple two double beds for up to four guests — the pick for families. The Twin Room with Fan is the budget choice, cooled by a fan rather than air conditioning. Three of the four rooms are air-conditioned, so if you want that it is worth confirming the room type when you book.
Anodard Hotel Chiang Mai keeps its services simple but practical. The standout is free private parking on site, which is hard to find inside the moated Old City, along with a lift that reaches the upper floors. A 24-hour front desk handles arrivals at any hour, backed by daily housekeeping, luggage storage, lockers, a wake-up service and paid laundry, ironing and photocopying. A shared lounge and a garden give you somewhere to relax, and there is a public bath on site. Every room comes with free Wi-Fi, a satellite flat-screen TV, a telephone and a private bathroom stocked with towels, free toiletries and a hairdryer. Security is covered by 24-hour surveillance, CCTV and a safety deposit box.
Anodard Hotel Chiang Mai stands on Ratchamankha Road in the Phra Sing neighbourhood, in the south-west corner of Chiang Mai's Old City — the roughly 1.5 km square ringed by a moat and the remains of ancient walls, founded in 1296 as the capital of the Lanna kingdom. Guests rate the position an excellent 8.6, with several of the old gates and the city's most famous temples within walking distance.
Chiang Mai International Airport sits about 4 km to the south-west, usually a 10-to-15-minute drive by taxi or by songthaew, the shared red trucks that work like buses; the hotel's free private parking also makes arriving by car easy. Chiang Mai Railway Station is around 3 km to the east, across the Ping River, and the Arcade Bus Terminal a little further out. Inside the walls the old town is compact and best explored on foot, by bike or by songthaew, so you rarely need a car once you have parked.
You are within a short walk of Chiang Mai Gate, the southern gate famous for its evening food market, and Tha Pae Gate, the eastern gate that hosts the Sunday Walking Street — the pedestrian market that fills Ratchadamnoen Road each Sunday with handicrafts and street food such as Khao Soi. The Three Kings Monument and the City Arts & Cultural Centre are close by, while the great temples of Wat Chedi Luang and Wat Phra Singh are an easy stroll away. Nong Buak Hard Public Park offers green space in the old town's south-west corner. The best months are November to February, when the air is cool and clear; avoid March and April, when heat and farmland-burning haze settle over the valley.
