Bottom Line

The Sakorn Residence is a pleasant mid-range hotel located in a quiet area on the east side of the Ping River, about a 20-minute walk from downtown. The rooms here are simple but spacious, and are outfitted with amenities suited to long-term guests, including kitchenettes with large refrigerators in some. The hotel has an outdoor swimming pool and gym, as well as a cozy restaurant and colorful little coffee shop. Overall, it's a great value, certainly cheaper than many of the competing properties and breakfast is free.

Sakorn Residence & Hotel

Scene

Quiet hotel popular with long-term visitors

The Sakorn Residence is a quiet place in a residential area that caters to long-term visitors. There's a restaurant and a pool area, but neither get too busy, and the colorful little coffee shop has the most action at the property. The lobby is simply set with wooden furniture and little in the way of aesthetics, aside from a few Buddhist statues behind the front desk. Big rooms make it a good choice with families and groups, although the main market seems to be longer-term business visitors.

Location

In a quiet spot on the east side of the Ping River, a 20-minute walk from the Night Bazaar 

The Sakorn Residence is located on the quieter east side of the Ping River, about 20 minutes on foot from downtown Chiang Mai and the Night Bazaar. The hotel is set back from the street, with a lawn and the restaurant and coffeeshop separating it from traffic, so it's pretty quiet. While there are not as many restaurants and shops in the neighborhood as there are in downtown, it isn't far to find plenty to eat and drink, and taxis and tuk-tuks are readily available to go further afield. It's a 15-minute drive to the Old City and 20 to 25 minutes to the airport.

Rooms

Spacious rooms with king-sized beds and DVD players; some with kitchenettes

The rooms at the Sakorn Residence are outfitted for long-term residents and feature large refrigerators, extra-big king beds, and kitchenettes with microwaves and cutlery in the Deluxe Rooms and Suites. Decor is relatively simple and includes little in the way of Thai floor. Think: tile floors and bold accent walls painted red or lime green.  All rooms have large flat-screen TVs with DVD players, electric kettles, and  small balconies. Superior Rooms only have walk-in showers, while the other room categories come with bathtubs. All have hairdryers. Windows overlook the parking lot or swimming pool. Wi-Fi is free in rooms and throughout the property.
