We booked this hotel through booking.com. Looking at the pictures we were very excited to stay there, once we got there it had a completely different feel to what we were expecting. The staff were friendly on arrival and they had someone take us up to show us our rooms, apparently they had a large booking coming in and were limited on rooms, we asked to inspect them first. The rooms were tiny, old, stunk and seemed dirty, we walked back down and said we are not taking the rooms. The staff talked us into looking at other rooms they had, and against our better judgement we went with the staff to inspect. These room were on the other side of the building with better views out the window (no balcony), on looking out the window I noticed pigeons nesting on the ledge! The room was slight better than the first ones we viewed but not much better and we decided not to stay. We headed down to reception and informed them we were not staying, at first as you can expect they were not happy and did not want to refund our money, after 20 mins of intense discussion they said they would refund the money and sent an email to me saying this, the refund took weeks to go into my account but I did get it back. I did however have to contact booking.com to make sure they didn’t charge me too, as they go the hotel for the money and if the hotel say you did not stay booking.com are within there rights to take the share from the person booking, anyway they didn’t as I contacted them straightaway. We left this hotel and stayed at the Chiang Mai Night Bizzar Hotel and could not have been happier! I wrote a review if you want to here about our experience with them. I must say, the hotel we booked with Pornping was one of the budget rooms but it was below budget on inspection. My partner is Thai which helped when speaking to them, even though there English is quiet good. Most of the staff were very nice and I feel sorry for them as they are left to face the music. Lastly, the elevators were from the stone age and I would not like to be in this place if there was ever a fire. Hopefully this does not ever happen!

Pornping Tower Hotel is one Chiang's oldest high-rise hotels and is well situated east of downtown, between the night bazaar area and the River Ping. As well as a rang of bars and shops within, it has a good swimming pool, and a popular roof restaurant and garden which offers superb views. It was getting a range of reviews, mainly due to its age, and it is now fully closed for a period whilst undergoing a complete renovation. When this is completed, it should once again be a popular place to stay in Chiang Mai.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for one night only (thankfully) and we were not in the least bit impressed with the hotel! My initial thoughts were that it was nice judging from pictures and upon arrival to reception... but don't be fooled! Once you go upstairs you notice how grubby and dated the entire hotel is. There is also an awful lingering stale smell in the hallways and the bedroom.. there were also a crazy number of ants in the bathroom. I found that there was a dirty and uncomfortable feel to the hotel. I have to say location was ideal for the night bazarre but you're better off staying elsewhere if you can!!

Hotel very old and tired. Photos must have been taken when the hotel opened in 1988!! The shower wouldn't work unless you held the knob of the bath up constantly. Dried mud on the floor when we ended our room. Wires visible in loose wooden panel between the beds. Pigeons nesting the the windows which were cooing in the morning. Pros: bed was clean, close to night walking street.

I've now stayed there I think five times, this time 2 weeks, so I keep going back so its OK, yes its a bit old bit dated, showing signs of wear, but better the devil you know. Its good value. Breakfast buffet is fine, pool is good, never crowded. there can be a considerable variation in room quality even on the same floor, so if when you walk in you don't like or its rough, go back down ask to see another room. I'm very sensitive on sleep but the beds have always been good.

The hotel is perfectly located next to night markets and food courts (this is an adventage for all traveleres) as well as Loi Kroh Road and massage places (this is an advantage for male traveleres; guest friendly). The Walled City is in a walking distance. The hotel needs a refreshment but my room was very spacious, the lobby was monumental and for sure this hotel was a premium 5 stars establishment some time / years ago - it is an interesting example of Asian premium hotel architecture with stairs and mirrors in the lobby. The buffe breakfasts were genuine (continental buffe, curry, vermicelli, soups, rice, a lot of vegetables and fruits). Wifi was working fine. The pool was also very good. The staff was helpful and booked me a tour to Doi Inchanon for a reasonable price. 2 complimentary bottles of water for each day were included in the price. There was an ATM in the lobby.

It's old but the view is very nice at night. The room is spacious and clean but it smelled old as expected. The location is excellent, right at the night bazaar market, Warorot market and popular Fah Lanna spa.

This hotel needs a renovation however for the price it is really worth it. Very comfortable rooms and beds. The breakfast is amazing. The staff are friendly. We stayed for 3 nights and we felt relaxed and safe. We recommend this hotel for a budget accommodation with beautiful views of the City. It is a 15 minute walk to the city centre but lots of shops around and only a 1 minute walk to the Night Bazaar.
