About

Vanilla Residence Chiangmai

Vanilla Residence Chiangmai is a 3-star hotel in Chiang Mai, set on Tewan Road in the Changpuak area. It sits close enough to the ancient city walls to reach them on foot, yet far enough from the busiest tourist streets to feel quieter. The hotel has a terrace, a garden, and a tour desk, and rooms come with city views.

The stay is built around essentials done well: air conditioning that works properly, clean and spacious rooms, and staff who go out of their way to help – whether that is ordering a taxi or tuktuk or recommending a local tour. There is also covered parking, a paid shuttle, and bike storage for those exploring by bicycle.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Not in the old city — The hotel is a short walk from the ancient walls, but it's outside the main tourist hub – a trade-off for those who want to be in the thick of it.
  • Limited room variety — All room types are basic doubles or a family room; no suites or deluxe categories beyond that.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with an animal, this isn't the place – the policy is strict.

“Great value – the price is honest and the small touches show. Staff are friendly, the room has everything needed, and the air con is excellent. Location is close enough to everything, including the old city walls, without being in the thick of the tourist zone.”

8.3Verified guest

“Clean, modern, and very reasonable. The reception is warm, and my room was large, nicely decorated, and overlooked a national park – it even had a fridge and a small kitchen. The hot shower and bathroom essentials gave it a homely feel. Free Wi-Fi throughout worked well for work. The couple who run the place helped arrange activities and tours, and the area felt safe, just minutes from shops and the centre.”

8.3Verified guest

“Everything you need for a comfortable stay. Rooms are spacious and well decorated, with real attention to detail and a brilliant air conditioning unit. The staff are friendly and genuinely helpful – they’ll order a taxi or tuktuk whenever you need. The location is ideal: close enough to everything, not in the heart of the tourist area.”
