Cheva Gallery Boutique Hotel

Cheva Gallery Boutique Hotel is a 5-star property 4.4 kilometres from the Old City centre and 3.1 kilometres from Chiang Mai International Airport, with a 8.2 out of 10 review score across 71 reviews. Uncle Kham reads a score in the mid-eights as neither a standout nor a disappointment — a hotel worth judging on what it actually offers rather than a glowing headline number.

Getting to Cheva Gallery Boutique Hotel

The Old City centre sits 4.4 kilometres away, and the airport is closer, at 3.1 kilometres, with an airport transfer service available. Right by the hotel, Glory Dew Farm is just 20 metres off. Wat Koh Klang is 800 metres away, and Hongthong Muay Thai Gym 900 metres. Further out, Wat Chedi Liam sits 1.17 kilometres from the property.

Rooms & What to Expect

Four room types are on file. The Deluxe Twin Room and Deluxe Double both run 32 square metres with two single beds each and an outdoor-facing view. The Suite River View, despite its name, is confirmed with a pool-facing outlook rather than the river — a useful thing to know before booking if the water view is the deciding factor — and at 75 square metres with a king bed, it's by far the largest option here. The Premier Twin (40 square metres, two large beds) sits between the two in size.

Amenities & Facilities

This hotel covers the basics well: an indoor pool and an outdoor pool with a view are both confirmed, along with a gym, gardens, and a restaurant. A tour desk is available for booking excursions. Free Wi-Fi, blackout curtains, and daily housekeeping round out the room-level offer. Having both an indoor and an outdoor pool on the same property is a genuine point of difference at this price point — most budget-tier stays in Chiang Mai settle for one or the other, if they have a pool at all.

What's Nearby — Temples, Markets & Local Life

Glory Dew Farm is just 20 metres from the hotel — practically at the door. Wat Koh Klang is 800 metres away, and Hongthong Muay Thai Gym 900 metres, both an easy walk. Wat Chedi Liam is 1.17 kilometres out. For the city's major landmarks, Art in Paradise 3D Art Museum is 3.39 kilometres away, Wua Lai Walking Street 3.62 kilometres, Wat Chedi Luang 4.29 kilometres, Chiang Mai Night Bazaar 4.36 kilometres, and Tha Phae Gate — the furthest of the group — 4.44 kilometres. This isn't a walking-distance base for the Old City; plan on a short ride for most sightseeing.

Dining

The hotel has its own restaurant on-site, serving guests without a trip out — a straightforward option rather than an elaborate multi-venue spread.

Other Hotels Nearby

A few other properties sit close by. The Chiang Mai Riverside is just 0.1 kilometres away, also 5-star, rated 8.6/10. 3 Specious Villas Rental For A Group Near Center, 1.0 kilometres out, is a 5-star option at 8.8/10. Ma-Umi Luxury Pool Villa 5BRs, 1.3 kilometres away, scores highest of the three at 9.6/10, rated 4-star.

Guest Reviews

Across 71 reviews, the category breakdown tells a mixed story: cleanliness comes in at 8.7/10 against a city average of 8.9, facilities at 7.9/10 versus 8.8, location at 7.7/10 versus 8.1, staff service at 8.7/10 versus 9, and value for money exactly matches the city average at 8.4/10. Uncle Kham says plainly: several of these categories sit below what a typical Chiang Mai stay scores, and this isn't the standout choice in its stretch of the city — but it's an honest one, not oversold.

Good to Know

Rates have started as low as 875 THB a night — a genuinely low figure that goes some way to explaining the mid-range review scores. Check-in is from 14:00, and check-out is by 12:00.

Cheva Gallery Boutique Hotel is a straightforward, budget-priced stay with a real pool and gym on-site, honestly a few kilometres from the Old City rather than inside it. For travellers prioritising price over polish, and who don't mind a short ride into town, it's a workable, unpretentious option.
