There were few factors I have to take into consideration when booking a hotel in Chiang Mai. My aunt who's joining us is not able to walk far since she's 85 years old. After doing my homework I finally decided on Dusit D2 Chiang Mai due to the good reviews, walking distance to the night market, walk-in shower (my aunt can't use the bathtub) and breakfast. In a way, I'm glad that I was able find this little gem.
On the day we stepped into the hotel premise, we were treated with 5 stars service from then on. We were greeted by the staff and were guided to the sofa to be seated and then served with a refreshing cold drink.
After a while, the staff guided us to club lodge on the 7th floor to check-in.
The check-in process was breeze and in no time we were guided to our rooms on the 9th floor. When I booked the room, I requested to have a connecting room. As the rooms were fully booked, one of the room was upgraded to a 'studio suite'.
The room I booked is a 'club deluxe room' with twin bed. We were quite impressed with the interior designs and the colour theme. It was bright and striking.
There's a separate working desk for those who needs to finish their work while on their holiday.
They offer laundry and dry cleaning service.
The content in the orange box is a souvenir for guest to take back home, which it's quite thoughtful of them.
The room is quite spacious and there is space to walk about. There's a tea and coffee maker facilities, with complimentary bottled water which is replenish daily.
Valuables can be kept in the safety deposit box in one of the closet, which includes extra pillows and fridge. You'll be happy to know that there is a complimentary wifi for guest during your stay. :)
Big and bright toilet is what I love although the toilet is small but it's well designed. Toiletries were given and replenished daily.
Moving on to the 'studio suite' via the connecting door.
Studio suits comes with a big double bed.
Love the studio suite which not only comes with a spacious living area....
...even the bathroom is 3 to 4 times bigger than the club deluxe bathroom!
For those who is not a fan of bathtub, there's a walk-in shower in the bathroom.
Big spacious closet and wardrobe. Great for guest who have big luggage and plans to do a lot of shopping while in Chiang Mai.
We were given a 200 baht vouchers which can be used in the restaurant.
Guest who stays in a club deluxe room (with breakfast) are entitled to use the club lounge on the 7th floor. Apart from that, it comes with other benefits too.
The club lodge is the same floor where we check-in earlier.
The lodge is pretty big and it can easily accommodates quite a number of guest.
Complimentary pre-dinner drinks and snacks from 5pm to 7pm.
Simply delicious. Went back for few more cause the serving size was quite small.
Magazine and newspaper for guest who wants to catch up some reading.
Right in front of the hotel is the night market.
You can enjoy shopping every night while staying here.
The bed was made after our dinner/shopping and the hotel slipper was put out for us, which I think is a nice gesture.
Our rooms comes with a buffet breakfast. Breakfast is served in Moxie, which is located on the ground floor.
The choice of foods is plentiful with a choice of American and Asian dishes.
Sadly during my stay at Dusit D2 I never get the chance to use the facility such as the gym and the swimming pool.
The hotel turned out to be a great choice for all of us, including my aunt. Our room was nice and the breakfast were plentiful. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially towards my aunt who needs some assistance when walking. Although the hotel is located near the night market, the room was quiet. I would defiantly come back again to stay in Dusit D2 if I ever return back to Chiang Mai for a holiday.
