Jing’s Residence: "You must stay here!"
"It's beautiful. really. The rooms and courtyards and hotel lobby. All done excellently. The restaurant is beyond fantastic. We had two dinners there (they were included in the package we selected). It's a fixed menu and each dish was superb. My girlfriend, who is Chinese, said each dish really captures the essence of Chinese cooking with a subtle balance of tastes. It's quiet. We were in the back of the hotel (and there were few other guests). We were able to sleep with our window next to the bed open for natural cooling. The hotels offers a free transfer from the railway station and its centrally located in the ancient city, but far enough away from the tourist area not to be noisy or crowded. It is only a 3 minute walk along East street to get to the main intersection with South street. The staff is great, very friendly and helpful. English mastery varies person to person, but it is easy to communicate."Supanniga Eating Room: "Best Thai food in Thailand!"
I realize my title is a bold claim. This is the food capital of the world, after all. (OK maybe NYC). But the passion for quality here is simply remarkable. The cabbage with fish sauce dish, for example, is so simple and yet mind-blowingly delicious. I believe this chef has another restaurant in BKK and one in NYC - both of which also get unbelievable reviews.Maduzi Hotel: "Best hotel ever"
"너무 좋다는 후기들만 있어서 긴가민가했는데 정말 최고였습니다. 모든게 너무 깨끗하고 좋아서 함부로 못쓸것같은 느낌이 들 정도였어요! 침대도편하고 교통도 좋고 직원들도 매우 친절하고 저희 신혼여행이라고 방도 업그레이드해주시고 어매니티도좋고 불만이전혀없는 호텔이었습니다. 아 샤워기가 고정식인데 좀 불편해요.. 그것빼곤 완벽합니다. My hubby and I stayed at Maduzi on the last day of our honeymoon trip and this hotel made the end of our trip very pleasant. The location is good (some 5 mins of walk to the nearest stn), all the facilities and the huge bed were very clean and comfy, and the amanities provided smelled really sweet. Plus, the staff were sooo friendly and helpful that they even upgraded our room, knowing that we were honeymooners. Cannot describe enough how much we were satisfied with our stay at Maduzi! The only downside was the shower which was fixed on the wall or the ceiling.. somehow I felt uncomfortable with it. And yet, we will definitely go back!!"Villa Mathis: "Excellent"
Accueil, service, propreté, rien à dire sinon que tout est parfait, le restaurant est digne d'un 3 étoiles aux normes française. De plus, cet etablisement est géré par un français ce qui facilite le dialogue et les conseils sur les visites à réaliser sont d'autant plus appréciables. Nous conseillons cet etablisement aux charmes hors du commun. Attention toutefois si vous avez des enfants jeunes. Le nombre de points d'eau, piscines, ruisseaux font de cet établissement un endroit où 'il ne faut pas laisser vos enfants sans surveillances.Cuca: "Fantastic"
Went to Cuca for dinner on my wife's birthday few days ago. Food, drinks, service were just amazing. Place is not cheap, but everything was soooooooo good. Worth its money to every cent spent. Absolutely,Villa Song Saigon: "Fantastic stay"
"Would highly recommend Villa Song. Quiet location, lovely rooms, great food very helpful staff. We would definitely go back there if in Ho Chi Min again. Not right in the centre of the city so took longer to get to places but the setting was worth the travelling Stayed April 2017, traveled with family"David’s Kitchen: "True definition of culinary experience in Chiang Mai"
"Spending the evening at David's Kitchen was a total experience. - Food was unbelievably heaven-ish: I had Wagyu Braised Beef Cheek, which as a special menu. - Ambience was impeccable. Nicely decorated. Classy taste of interior design. - Hospitality was top knotch. Conversation with David, Khun Prom and staffs were both entertaining and insightful. If I had more time, I would have loved to try out aperetivo in the Red Room, which will be soon be under renovation, I guess. Culinary experience in Chiang Mai can hardly get better, if at all!"Rachamankha: "Our 4th Stay At Rachamankha"
We keep returning because it is that good. Fine antiques throughout, inside and out. A gracious and attentive staff. They are extremely stealth and quiet. The theme is serenity and quiet. Soft jazz and classical music quietly plays in the background. A bouquet of two dozen fresh roses were in our room. Complimentry breakfast is served on fine bone china. No children under 12.The Island Lodge: "Peak into the Mekong Delta While Sitting in Luxury"
This is a special place, sitting in the middle of the river at the end of an island. It is right in the middle of endless groves of Longan and other fruit trees. The breeze from the river keeps you naturally cool as you enjoy some of the freshly baked goods and/or fresh Vietnamese food. Everything about this place was excellent: rooms, facilities, service, food. Just a couple hours from Saigon, this is a great getaway from the city. Plan to go back often.Reverie Siam: "Peace in Pai"
Reverie Siam Resort provided the peace we were seeking in Pai as it is located away from the tourist fray. All aspects of the property were outstanding, including the beautiful room and friendly staff. Our two meals in the restaurant were phenomenal. We hope to visit again!
