I loved that the rooms were quiet, clean, aircon worked well . Bathroom was clean. iWualai breakfast was decent. The only thing was that the wifi was a bit spotty. A bit far (walking wise) from center of Chiang Mai but not too bad. Close to night market. Excellent value.

Amazong all round. Staff are lovely and friendly, always on hand to help. Good with local information. Breakfast every morning is spot on and the coffee is always available and always delicious. Saturday night market right outside on the street which is amazing.

Worth trying the hotel .
It’s a good hotel for the price . Customer service people were very nice . The slippers they gave to wear inside the room are very very bad even with a drop of water on the floor and you’ll slip if you have those slippers on . Toilet paper was very very cheap kind it just sticks onto your hand . Tooth brush etc very not good at all . Breakfast buffet was mediocre for the price they charged and what other hotels offer , but on the whole Like I said the price you pay for the kind of hotel I will say I liked the hotel .

Great location, can easily walk to, like everything. Restaurants, laundry, bank, open street food, 7-11, salons, simply everything w/out need for taxi. Simple thing, but means a lot when hot and humid - free bottled water in cooler. Wonderful breakfast. We should have cancelled Bangkok visit and lengthened stay.

The condition is exactly the same as the photos shown on its website. The mostly appreciation is they provide drinks, fruits and snack all day long! Location is good, just 20 minutes walk into the old town and 5 mins. to the Chiang Mai gate. At the Chiang Mai gate, there are food stalls open at night until 11pm. I will stay at Iwualai Hotel again next time.

My favourite budget hotel in Chiang Mai
I've stayed several times at this excellent property and I am sure I will do so again in the future. It hits ll the right buttons for me. Very fairly priced, the iWualai offer modern, simple, bu very comfortable rooms that really work, staff that fall over backwards to be welcoming and helpful, a super buffet breakfast in the trendy lobby, complimentary (good) coffee and chilled water 24 hours a day. The hotel has been well maintained over the year since I started staying here - something sorely missing at many budget properties in Thailand. Highly recommended

Fantastic budget hotel concept
My third one-night stay at this little gem five minutes walk from the old city gate, and each time it is a delight. The staff are super friendly, helpful and efficient, and the rooms have everything you need. Breakfast is great, and the lobby has 24-hour chilled water and (very good) coffee available. The ground floor rooms with a little patio are great as you can sit outside if you want to smoke, for example The lobby is the centre of activity, with the small swimming pool just off to one side. It all creates a great atmosphere of modernity and chic, but simple, style. And the hotel (unlike many budget offerings in Thailand) has been well-maintained since I first stayed over a year ago. It's hard to think of a better place for a stopover en route to somewhere else, or as a base if you plans in Chiang Mai have you out every day sightseeing in the area. Maybe if you want to chill out by a pool every day and relax, you may want to stretch the budget to a larger hotel with a bigger range of recreational options, but I shall certainly be back here again on future trips to CM

Booked a real charm without knowing
Amazing hotel, we were really impressed. After getting there we realized it is really conveniently located. We had at walking distance the night market, the car rental, and then the bus stop we had to take the last day. The staff is really professional, the facilities were neat, the restaurant really good, and we were surprised of the good security at the hotel also.

Fabulous modern boutique hotel in the city centre
Stayed here for one night on a recent swing through Thailand's wonderful north with a bunch of pals. One of them picked this hotel and what a lucky choice it turned out to be. I adored the place. It's a small, very modern, boutiquey sort of style, with simple cleanly-designed rooms that really work with a tiny balcony good enough for a smoke (but not for sitting out on). Best in-room wifi I've experienced in Thailand. Fabulous lobby with free coffee, water and snacks 24/24, and a simple buffet breakfast laid out in the morning, plus a tiny pool for those that need it. If you want a super luxury hotel for your stay in Chiang Mai, or a riverside resort, or a big pool area to relax at - then iWualai is not the place. But for a business trip or a couple of nights to see the sights or shop then I recommend this place highly. Couple of caveats: 1) tiny parking area for motorbikes and perhaps two cars 2) the Saturday night market is centred on Wualai road, so not sure what access would be like on Saturdays. I adored this place, and the price is very good indeed for what you get.

Schönes kleines Hotel mit liebenswertem Personal. Sogar ein Pool konnte auf der kleinen Fläche integriert werden, auch wenn er recht kalt war. Zimmer mit kleinem Balkon und Sitzmöglichkeit. Sehr bequeme Betten, angenehm weich und nicht durchgelegen. Wenig Platz für Kleidung, aber man kann sich für ein paar Tage gut behelfen. Toll ist, dass man die Möglichkeit hat sich jederzeit kostenlos Wasser und Kaffee zu nehmen und es stehen, je nachdem was wohl vom Frühstücksbuffet übrig geblieben ist, auch kleine Sacks, Obst und Kekse bereit. So wird weniger weggeworfen, was wiederum nachhaltig ist. Am Samstag findet auf der Straße, an dem das Hotel ist, immer der Nachtmarkt statt, was wir ganz gut fanden. Fußläufig schnell in der Altstadt und auch sonst sind es keine langen Wege, wenn man was sucht. Ansonsten fahren überall TukTuks rum. Wir würden das Hotel auf jeden Fall wieder buchen und können es bedenkenlos weiterempfehlen.

地點方便易找
酒店旺中帶靜，在週六夜市中的街道。環境很舒適，但是洗手間的淋浴間沒有手拿的花灑，及水力太小。早餐種類不多但很有泰國風味。洒店前向左轉有一間泰式粉店，很好吃很多當地人吃，但好像星期一休息。

性價比高
三人房型於同區不多房源，有這間地點、空間、價錢性價比超高的酒店。 地點：如想行周日周末夜市間直無可挑剔，因為星期六夜市街就在門外一百米內，行到一半買到累了可回去小休再shopping,星期日夜市用街行就能到達。舊城區轉個街角就到，新區和超市就要搭巴士或打的，車費都不貴，的士才不過3美元左右 空間：三人房房間夠大入門仍有地方作玄關放東西，三人可同時開行理箱仍有空間，感謝把我們安排在三樓，除了星期六日有些比較嘈的同層住客早早就開門關門嘈嘈吵吵，平日相當寧靜，窗外綠綠的，可惜露台有點小，不能三人在露台悠閒享受時光，但可到common area有大量桌椅sofa可看看書。經營模式似backpack hostel 價格：相宜，7天只要400美元

Excelente relación precio-calidad
Llegamos muy temprano porque veníamos en tren y nos regalaron el desayuno antes del check-in. El servicio de la recepción es muy bueno, solucionaron de inmediato todas nuestras dudas (lavandería, tours, renta de scooters). El desayuno incluido está bien (hay fruta, huevo, pan, café), y tienen un refrigerador con agua gratis todo el día, además de una cafetera. La habitación era sencilla y algo pequeña pero suficiente para estar cómodos. El hotel queda a una media hora a pie de las mejores atracciones turísticas, sugiero rentar directamente con el hotel un scooter. En términos generales es un excelente hotel por la relación precio-calidad.

Nice and clean hotel
The hotel is near the Saturday market where you can back to the hotel right after the walking in the night market. Staff are nice and helpful, it offers 24 hours coffee and tea as well as bottles of water which is quite convenient. My room is just on the ground floor and near the swimming pool, however, the toilet flushing system is not that well built as it keeps smelly. All in all, it's good to have a short stay in the hotel.
