DUSITD2 CHIANG MAI

i was in hospital for quite some time thats why i write this trip report rather late. we stayed at dusit d2 chiang mai one year ago (april 9-11, 2016) but still remember each minute of it as it was one of the best hotel experiences we ever had while in thailand. thats why i still like to express my gratitude to the management n staff of this wonderful place n write this report.. we stayed in a studio suite with club lounge access (#905).. we contacted hotel by email n arranged limousine service from/to chiang mai airport n it worked well.. upon arrival we eentvto club lounge for the check-in procedure which was done in a very friendly, explanatory n speedy way. i paid the room in advance thru my travel agent so i just had to leave a reasonable deposit for extra charges as i dont use credit card. but that is very common n no problem at all. so first impression was ++ .. once we saw our room it was another wow factor. especialy if u like the color orange (seems to be the brand color of d2).. nearly everything was in orange but all was to our liking n much more than what a traveller expects from a hotel..it felt more like a homy apartment! the room size is more than expected (abt 64sqm) but most important is that each part of the design n architecture of the room makes sense. u have power plugs, lamps, drawer, etc at the right places n all seemed to work properly.. there is a desk which is truly large enough to work on it. the chairs were comfy.. the sofa in the adjacent livingroom was huge n so comfy too.. the bed, in my opinion the most important feature of a hotel room, was excellent n gave me hour long deep sleep, which is quite rare for me. so the matress was great. i move around during my sleep but the bed was wide enough.. the bathroom was well equipped, shower cabin impeccably clean n no stains or limescale. the bathtub even big enough for large person that i am.. the cleaning department makes an excellent job. which can be said for the entire room. the complementry shower gel, soap, lotion, shampoo etc is of very high quality n enough quantity.. now commenting on f&b.. we ate breakfast at the cafe soi restaurant n the buffet choice was outstanding n quality very good n all fresh. buffet was always replenished n service always on hand to refill coffee tea or whatever one required. i hv to compliment about the eggs benedict/poached eggs. best i ever got at any hotel.. we never had lunch or dinner at the hotel. but we attended the daily pre-evening happy hours at the club lounge. great experience. truly nice athmosphere. staff always there for u n complimentary snacks (real food actualy, was enough to enable u to skip dinner) n drinks were of good quality n huge variety! the only drawback is the very small pool. so we just took a look n left! my partner n me had a 2 hour massage each n it was so relaxing n wonderful. the spa staff was outstanding. all the treatments were explained in details enabling u to chose the right one.. the treatment i booked was one of the best i ever had in thailand! the check-out process (also at club lounge) was as speedy as the check-in. baggage pick up frm room without a problem, called reception n somebody came within 5minutes.. checking the bill was easy cause all correct. the cash deposit deducted frm bill - as it should be. to sum it up: it was a wonderful experience n i wished we could have stayed longer. but surely we will be back n we will wholeheartedly recommend the dusit d2 chiang mai to our friends n to everybody here at tripadvisor..

The hotel is not far from the touristic places which is good in one point as i can walk or just cycle around. The staff are amazing especially the reception. Only note was that, I felt like it was expensive compared to the other hotels nearby. There were heaps of new hotel around the area and the breakfast was below average. It was a good stay but not outstanding.

Now we've stayed in cheap and cheerful and rough and ready before. But sometimes when you are exploring Thailand you need to grab yourself some modern, stylish comfort. Coming about midway through our trip, this newish property came as a breath of fresh air. An offshoot of the better known Thai brand Dusit Thani - which still has an older established property around the corner - Dusit d2 is arty and clean and very close to the brilliant night markets, as well as central walking distance to most of the major temples, bars and other draws. With all the cheap eats nearby it is all too easy to overlook the hotel's main restaurant for your evening meal, but you'll be missing out on some innovative Thai cuisine quite unlike anything else we found on our travels, and at very reasonable prices. Great design, lovely staff and convenient.

just the good thing is it near food street .easy to walk easy to find good food room a bit small i think a bit to expensive for what you paid.Since you paid for dusit name .cnx have a lot of good hotel but this one is good for some one like to stay near night market

We were so pleasantly surprised with how great this hotel is. Stayed 4 nights in a beautiful suite with the most modern amenities. The staff was incredibly helpful and concierge service was amazing. She helped us book the most wonderful day tour (guide and driver) after I was reluctant to use the company I had booked with and wanted to change. Great buffet breakfast and again wonderful service. I highly recommend this hotel.
