Puripunn Hideaway

We had a great time in Puripunn Chiang Mai. The hotel is situated just outside the city centre on the east side of the river. From the hotel there is a courtesy shuttle to the city center or the night market. If you decide to walk, it takes about 20 minutes. While the neighborhood is busy, the hotel is literally a hideaway and therefore very quiet. The hotel has a nice sized pool and balconies with a seating area. The room itself is medium sized but has everything for a comfortable stay. What we liked most was the peace and quiet as well as the very helpful and friendly staff. The owner even came to welcome us during breakfast. An absolute gem in Chiang Mai, and much more of a Thai experience than the generic Marriott.

The hotel decor was exceptional - the central areas were lavishly decorated, the courtyard with the pool was an urban jungle with birds and in-pool fountains and a hot tub. We stayed in both a superior room and a deluxe room. The only difference was that the deluxe had a much larger bathroom and was on ground level. The superior room had a lovely balcony on the second level with a great couch. Both were nice. The staff were outstanding and greeted us as our tuk tuk pulled up. They helped to arrange a valley tour and an early morning taxi to the airport. The breakfast was elegant, with cloth napkins, indoor or outdoor dining, many options and an egg station.

I never gave a perfect review before but Purripunn Hideaway truly deserves it and I'm really enthusiastic about it. The place is very quiet but close enough to go to the old city walking, the breakfast is great, with daily variations in the buffet, the pool is perfect and the warm jacuzzi has the perfect temperature. The whole house is in old style, with wooden floors, tiles, and you can feel how everything is at the right place. However, what made my stay really outstanding is the staff. Present, attentive to details, pleasant, discreet, and smiling in the purest Thai tradition.

This property exceeded all our expectations…….wonderful find & authentic surroundings…….owners & staff were wonderful

The relaxed quiet and informal atmosphere. The pool area is pleasing to look at and be in. The passion and care that has gone into this renovation is apparent. It is a friendly family run hotel which is in keeping with Thai tradition with a youthful uplift. Staff and owners attentive very friendly and always willing to please. Although hotel is out of town it is only a short walk over a bridge to get to the night markets and restaurants. The hotel has an evening shuttle service which we used at our convenience every night to go into town. I highly recommend this hotel.
