Montha Hotel

THIS hotel just keeps getting better and better. It was already my hotel of choice in Chiang Mai when I last visited just before Covid. When I returned this time I found that the little German restaurant near the entrance had been taken over by the Montha which had turned it into its own superb breakfast area. There was everything from hot bacon and sausages to yoghurt, fresh fruit and juice, bread, a choice of cold meats, several cereals, tea and coffee and an attached kitchen in which staff would make guests everything from omelettes to eggs how you wanted them. I also liked the way dishes were taken away quickly while any food showing signs of being used up was speedily refreshed Inside the hotel is the same attention to detail seen in the restaurant. Free computer use in the foyer, free chilled water, large area of leaflets on attractions and very helpful reception staff. My room was a real pleasure to stay in. A clothes rail with hangers, a very good room safe with a six figure combination which was easy to use, multiple power points and a light system which ensured that when you retired to sleep you could switch the last lights off without getting out of bed. A real asset was the flat storage surface which stretched right down one wall. It made it possible to lay clothes out for the next day, to open out maps to look at them while seated and to store shoulder bags, shopping bags, water bottles and similar things off to one side out of the way. The bed itself was so comfortable that I had some of the best nights of my entire holiday here while the bathroom was excellent. It had a separate shower area, a large mirrored wall with a long thin shelf in front of it and crisp fresh towels. Crucially the staff in charge of cleaning my room did a top job every time, replacing towels, making the bed, replacing toilet rolls, emptying bins and tidying up. I couldn't fault the job they did. All in all this is a hotel at the top of its game where top quality service is delivered with a smile. I have no hesitation in recommending anyone to give the Hotel Montha a try and I will be back.
