Decent accommodations, nice pool.
Room was nice and clean, spacious and extra large king sized bed. Bathroom was okay, nothing fancy and every worked as well as good hot water supply. Room fit out is proportional with price...a good basic room. Hotel in convenient location. Several eateries, massage and laundry services close by. Would normally be fairly quiet, but evening roadworks happening during our stay.

My family and I stayed at this hotel for 4 days, and we really liked it. First of all the workers were always very friendly, they kept our rooms very clean as well as all their facilities. A great advantage of this place is that it is next to a variety of restaurants, markets and shops, every night you will find something new to do in the area, it is also a place where you can request to be picked up for tours, and it is only 17 minutes from the airport. I really recommend it!

Good value; bad communication
Overall, my stay at BB Mantra was a pleasant one, but there were a couple of unfortunate incidents that soured the experience. Upon check in, we found out the hotel had overbooked; we had to check in to a different room, then re-check in the next morning. While this was a minor annoyance, the staff was helpful ensuring a smooth transition. Everything else was fine until check out, when I was informed we needed to pay for the breakfasts we had eaten. I thought I had been told at check in that breakfast was included, but since I foolishly had not verbally confirmed this policy, I agreed to pay without issue. However, despite the sign on the counter confirming credit cards as an acceptable method of payment, apparently this doesn't apply to breakfast... because "that's separate"? I might have wrongly assumed breakfast was included, but there's no way someone told me it was cash only. Seems important. Since this was the end of our trip, we were low on cash, and so I was pressured to use the ATM across the street, thus incurring an additional $20 in credit card/ATM fees. Very bad taste in the mouth driving away. So, in conclusion, BB Mantra is good value, but could stand to improve the front desk's communication and organization. Future guests would do well to stay on their toes.

Comfortable & Convenient Stay
One of the most friendliest hotels I've stayed in during my time in Thailand. I would like to compliment the exceptional good service from Pasin - she was so helpful and such a delight throughout my entire stay. Other pleasant staff members include Jib, Apple, Pooh, Con and Dunk. The room is spacious and the balcony is a nice addition - I recommend requesting the street side room due to the nice view of the mountains. Convenient to all attractions within the Old City area The best way to describe this hotel is home-like, cosy and comfortably-compact.

One of the best in Chiang Mai
At an excellent price point. Been traveling to Chiang Mai for many years and have stayed in a lot of different places. BB Mantra is a win! The biggest plus - soft beds and good pillow selection. This is rare in the land of the plank bed. Also, the shower puts out a torrential downpour on high and has a curtain to keep the floor dry - another rarity in Thailand. The rooms (stayed in 3 different ones over two months Jan and Feb 2016) are all very well cleaned and the decks overlooking the really pretty pool are a bonus. Staff are super friendly and accommodating. I had trouble with a slow drain once and they were on it with the fix immediately. Very good location away from the diesel exhaust of the moat road, close to Somphet Market, good scooter rentals on site. Highly recommend!

Great stay!
Excellent little hotel in the old part. Very good restaurant as well! The rooms were clean and quite big. The staff were excellent: very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The only problem was if you get a room facing the street, instead of into the garden, it can be a bit noisy. Excellent location as well!

Great hotel near Thapae Gate
The hotel was in a small street with 15 minutes walk to the Thapae Gate inside the Old City. The location was great. There were message spas, coconuts, restaurants nearby and it was not noisy. The hotel had YAMAHA motorbikes for rent. Stuff was nice, the room was clean, and nice swimming pool also. I will stay in BB Mantra again.

Wonderful Little Hotel
My Wife and I arrived on the12th in Chiang Mai. It was our 1st trip to Thailand.We found BB Mantra on Expedia. From our arrival tlill we departed, this hotel did everything to make our experience wonderful. The staff is friendly , out going and helpful . Any time we needed assisstance, they were right there. The hotel is ideallly located in the Old City of Chiang Mai.You can walk to everything. Markets, temples, restaurants and shopping. There are coffee shops, ATM, laundry and spas right out the front door. The hotel is small ( 25 rooms??), has a nice refreshing pool after a long day in the heat, restaurant and bar for drinks. We were only goimg to stay 3 nigjhts, but we fell in love with Chiang Mai and BB Mantra. We extended our stay for 7 nights. The staff was outstanding in helping with airline tickets and extending our stay. The hotel has a nice intimate feeling if you are into small hotels. We all ready planning our next trip back to Thailand and planning on staying at the BB Mantra. Also , their sister hotel has a great food for another dining option. Not far either.

I wish I could give bonus stars!
My wife and I stayed for 6 days in mid-November 2015. Our stay at the BB Mantra was like staying with family - it was incredible. The room was lovely - comfortable, clean, and the little deck overlooking the pool was a great place to eat food we bought from street vendors or simply to just hang out. The staff are young and vibrant, always eager to please. For the lamp festival of Loy Krathong, they made boats for the guests to use free of charge - each boat they made was made with care and love. The neighborhood has everything you could want - wonderful food stalls and the cafe downstairs (always amazing food and drink), tour organizers, markets, temples, massages, laundry, and more. We were sad to leave and will definitely be back.

Great stay
The hotel was quaint and attractive. The street it was on was very narrow, but across the street was an atm machine, laundry service and a good massage place. We discovered the old city easily by foot, as there were many temples nearby. The staff was good at arranging tours and a taxi to the airport. The food at the restaurant was delicious and modestly priced. The rooms had nice balconies overlooking the beautiful pool. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioning worked well. The only negative is we were assured by one staff member that breakfast was served after 6am. The morning of our departure, we went to order breakfast at 6:15am because our taxi was sheduled to arrive at 6:45am. The man running the front desk said breakfast wasn't served that early. We told him that we had been informed otherwise. He took our breakfast order and cooked it himself. I took longer than expected and our taxi driver had to wait 10 minutes, which turned out ok, as the airport is a short 15 minutes away. Still, it was bit nerve-wracking wondering if we were going to make our flight.

Great Hotel- just be prepared for a few things
The lovely staff members and all of their smiling faces and desire to help are the reasons this hotel gets a 4. There are a few things I would have liked to know before I booked, so I will pass them on: the room is dark...very dark, as in 3 20-watt light bulbs total dark. It is not possible to read at night if you are over age 20- this could easily be remedied with a higher wattage light bulb in the lamp ( hint hint to staff!) The beds are concrete- we have travelled extensively in Asia and have come across many hard beds but these rank in the top hardest ever- this might not bother some guests, but just letting you know to be prepared. There is an amazing amount of noise starting at about 6 am- guests banging doors, maids talking, maids using some sort of pulley contraption to bring their supplies up to the upper floors- I actually had to beg them to stop one morning at 730. If you rise early, this will not be an issue- if you want to sleep late, download the white noise feature onto your electronic devices- we found we needed to run them every night as well as use earplugs. Now, the good news- even coming in unprepared for all of the above, we loved the staff,service, and location of this hotel.... And the price if nice too!
