99 The Heritage Hotel

99 The Heritage Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We had such a lovely stay at The 99 Heritage Hotel! ❤️ From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed and well taken care of. The staff were incredibly kind and thoughtful, and their warm hospitality made our stay feel extra special. We were especially grateful for the VIP coupons and all the lovely little surprises, including welcome drinks, dinner coupons for three evenings, and a special tea set. These thoughtful touches really made us feel appreciated and added so much to our experience. The breakfast was wonderful, too! Everything was delicious, but the rice porridge was a particular favorite of mine. It was so comforting and tasty that I looked forward to having it every morning! The hotel has such a charming atmosphere, and it’s the little details, the genuine kindness of the staff, and the feeling of being cared for that make this place so special. We left with such happy memories and would absolutely love to come back. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay in Chiang Mai so memorable. We wholeheartedly recommend The 99 Heritage Hotel to anyone looking for a beautiful, welcoming place to stay. It truly felt like a home away from home! 💕"

10/10 Excellent
"This is a great budget option in the middle of Old Town. The rooms are comfortable and basically furnished. Staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. There is a small pool and sunbathing and seating area which gets the sun from around 1pm. There are two small gym areas which have AC - one with weights and another with cardio equipment. The gym equipment is pretty new and all in working order. It is set in a quiet area, however, you can hear people in neighbouring rooms, plug and unplug itmes, stomp about etc. I would definitely recommend this hotel, and if you want something a bit more upmarket, they have a more upscale, sister hotel next door."
