About

Chala Number6

Chala Number6 sits on Phrapokklao Road in the heart of Chiang Mai's Old Town, inside the historic moat. The 5-star property is within walking distance of major temples and the famous Sunday Market, and many guests used it as a base for exploring the old city on foot. The hotel itself is compact: rooms open onto a central garden and pool area, and the design leans modern with a calm, restrained aesthetic.

The property runs a full-service operation: 24-hour reception and security, a fitness centre with a sports trainer, a spa with massage and body treatments, a restaurant and poolside snack bar, and an afternoon tea service from 2 PM to 4 PM that several guests singled out as a memorable touch. A saltwater pool sits in the garden, with a separate children's pool, sun loungers, and a sun terrace.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

5 reasons to book
  • Service that guests consistently praise — Multiple reviews highlight the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, from arranging transport to going 'the extra mile.' The property earns a 9.5/10 for both Service and Staff in guest ratings.

  • Well-regarded rooms and comfort — Rooms score 9.4/10, with guests calling them 'tastefully decorated,' 'spacious,' and 'soundproof.' Several mention balconies, comfortable beds, and garden views.
  • A relaxing pool and spa setup — The saltwater pool, sun terrace, and spa with massage treatments are noted as highlights. The property also has a separate children's pool, making it family-friendly.
  • Value that exceeds expectations — With a Value score of 9.3/10 and a price from £948, guests feel the combination of service, location, and amenities justifies the cost for a 5-star stay.

Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • Pet-free policy — The hotel does not allow pets on site, which may be a drawback for travellers wanting to bring their animal companions.
  • Check-in window closes at midnight — Check-in is from 14:00 to 23:59, so if you arrive after midnight, you'll need to coordinate with the 24-hour reception? Actually, the 24-hour reception suggests flexibility, but the stated window is still a consideration for late-night arrivals.
  • Limited on-site parking — While parking is available, it's not specified whether it's free or reserved. In the Old Town, street parking is scarce, so consider this when planning a rental car.
  • Some guests noted noise from the central location — Although rooms are described as soundproof, the hotel's position near markets and temples means external noise is possible, especially during festival times.
  • Mixed feedback on family experience — While some families enjoyed the garden and pool, one guest rated the stay lower (6/10) without specific detail, suggesting the property may not suit every family's needs perfectly.

“We stayed six nights and found the rooms tasteful, modern, and well-equipped with a balcony and wardrobe. Service was strong across the board. The location is superb, minutes from the city center, and the staff extremely welcoming. Being next to a famous temple and the Sunday market made it an ideal spot to see everything Chiang Mai offers.”

“Dining at Chala Number6 was a real treat. The nearby Cafe de Thaan Aoan served excellent local dishes, and the Italian grilled meat stood out. The hotel's afternoon tea from 2 to 4 PM added a nice touch, and the staff were accommodating, even arranging transport when I needed it. Definitely above average.”

9Verified guest

“The room was beautifully decorated with a free minibar and a nice view—I slept well. The location was ideal for walking to a nearby Buddhist temple, and I visited several spots in the center, all close by.”

“As a solo female traveler, I felt safe. The location is perfect, right across from a temple and close to lively markets. Breakfast was good every morning, and the 2–4 PM afternoon tea was a special extra that set this hotel apart.”

04 — Location

Getting around Chiang Mai

The property sits in Chiang Mai.

Old Town Temples: The hotel is right across from a famous temple and within walking distance of several others. Guests often come back from a morning stroll having visited two or three wats, and the Sunday Market is just outside the door.

Sunday Market: Phrapokklao Road and the surrounding streets fill with stalls every Sunday evening. Guests staying here can simply walk out and join the market, then retreat to the quiet garden when it's time to rest.

City Center: Although the Old Town is a bit away from the modern city center, guests found it 'very close' to the main sights, with many temples and cafes within a short walk. Tuk-tuks and songthaews are easy to flag from the main road.
