Gordnuea Boutique House anmeldelser

The Gordneua is a small family run hotel set back from a quiet road, but very central within the old quarter of Chiang Mai and its attractions. From the road you can not see it as it is at the end of a 30m drive (there is a sign at the entrance), set behind houses closer to the road. Therefore you would be forgiven for overlooking it, but you will be missing out on visiting a very special place. The hotel is a mixture of guest accommodation and the owner's quarters, set like a horse shoe around a beautiful and tranquil courtyard, where there are tables to eat your breakfast (excellent, very cheap, and huge quantity), have a cup of coffee (Nong, one of the owners is a skilled barista who even roasts his own beans), or just generally have a quiet moment of relaxation. Rooms are very clean, spacious and have very powerful air conditioning. I found the bed very comfortable and noticed how good the quality of the linen was. However, the thing that really makes this hotel so special is the proprietors, Nom (Mrs) and Nong (Mr). They are both so friendly and can not do enough for you, and they clearly want you to enjoy your stay with them. In some way, it felt like staying with your favourite relatives. This hotel was excellent value for money. It is described as 2* but I would rate it 3*, and a very good one at that. If ever I was in Chiang Mai again, this is the only hotel I would go to, not only because of how comfortable and pleasant I found it, but because I would want to see Nom and Nong again
