Lampang Residence

On Tripadvisor it only has one review (and now two) so you wouldn't have high hopes - but on other booking sites, there are hundreds of reviews all of which rate it very high - and upon entering your room, you will realize the high marks are very well deserved. First, rooms are spacious - if not downright huge - large bed, significant storage areas, built in area to work/study. It seems like this hotel has been designed for long stay/business though it is certainly relaxing as well. Coffee, tea, water restocked daily in addition to a couple bags of chips and soda/pop at no cost in addition to a small fruit plate waiting upon arrival in the full sized fridge (again see comment about being planned for longer stays) It might be the secret high end hotel in Lampang judging by the rooms and also by the brand and quality of cars in the parking lot! Rooms were clean with quiet strips under the door and black out curtains. Breakfast is a simple buffet including thai rice soup/porridge as well as sticky rice and chicken/pork skewers (again also not common in hotels.) Staff wear masks in the dining area and kitchen. So overall a really pleasant surprising find! It's location is down a nondescript street with not much around at first glance (dead at night but bustling during the day) and one street over from the bus station (very walkable in a couple minutes) so views from your windows if high up will just be of the flat expanse of Lampang City with hills in the distance. Along the main road there are many higher end coffee shops so if you walk toward the train station you will find several large hi so frequented establishments. Kad Kong Ta Walking/Street Market is 20-25 minutes walk away - so again, not in the tourist center but certainly very much in real downtown Lampang with it's wide streets which are fun to explore.
