About
Ratana Hotel
Ratana Hotel sits on a quiet soi off Charoen Prathet Road, a 9-minute walk from the buzz of Chiang Mai Night Bazaar. It's the kind of place where the front desk knows your plans before you ask, and the corridors stay hushed even when the market is in full swing.
Rooms are simple and spotless, with flat-screen TVs, air conditioning, and tea and coffee facilities. Superior and Deluxe categories add a balcony and pool views. There's a small pool to cool off in, a fitness centre for guests who like to keep moving, and a restaurant that turns out a breakfast worth getting up for.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Perfectly placed for the Night Bazaar — A 9-minute walk from Chiang Mai Night Bazaar, and several guests note it's easy to reach from the train station. Restaurants and street food are on the doorstep.
- Exceptionally clean rooms — Reviews repeatedly call the rooms 'spotless' and 'bright', with comfortable beds and amenities like flat-screen TVs, safes, and tea/coffee facilities.
- Friendly, attentive staff — Guests consistently mention helpful, English-speaking staff who go out of their way to make stays comfortable, from check-in to local recommendations.
- Honest value for money — At £218 from, with clean rooms, a pool, and breakfast (when included), reviewers feel the price is right for what you get.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Some rooms face a hallway — Standard Queen rooms have windows onto an internal corridor rather than outside, so natural light is limited and there's less of a view.
- Breakfast isn't always included — At least one guest notes breakfast is not part of the room rate, so factor that into your budget—though nearby restaurants offer plenty of options.
- Pool is on the small side — The pool is a 'nice little' addition rather than a lap pool, and some guests note it's small—fine for a cool dip, not for serious swimming.
- Wi-Fi can be slow at times — While many guests praise the Wi-Fi, one reviewer found it slightly slow, so don't rely on it for heavy streaming.
