Scene
Quiet budget hotel popular with couples
The 3 Sis is a quiet hotel, sitting in a shady niche just across from Wat Chedi Luang Temple in the heart of the old city in Chiang Mai. Guests here tend to be those looking for a budget value stay in a prime location; most folks are out exploring the temples and other sights during the day. The hub of the place is the cozy cafe, which gets crowded during breakfast, and then is a bit more peaceful during the day, providing a tranquil spot in which to have a coffee, read a book, and relax. At night, the cafe lights up and is a popular spot for dinner. A colorful chalkboard sign advertises specialty shakes, sodas, and coffees. The hotel lobby is the other place to relax. It has plenty of couch space and squishy bean bag chairs, lots of tourist brochures and magazines to read, and a carp pond at one end. Pieces of art and planted ferns add color and interest to the space. As the guest rooms here are small, the hotel attracts couples as opposed to large groups or families.
Location
Great location in the center of Chiang Mai's historical old town near temples and the Sunday Night Walking Street Market
The 3 Sis has a walkable location right in the center of historical old town Chiang Mai. The hotel sits right across the street from Wat Chedi Luang Temple and it's a short walk to many other historic sights. The Sunday Night Walking Street Market is just up the road, and there are plenty of restaurants, bars, and shops around the hotel to choose from, along with the Thai Orchid Cookery School. It's about a 10-minute drive to the airport, and about five- to-10 minutes drive to the downtown and Night Bazaar.
Rooms
Hardwood floors and cozy Thai extras
Rooms are divided into the Front Building Wing and Vacation Lodge Wing; rooms in the former building are cheapest. Decor includes dark hardwood floors, white walls, and interesting windows covered with intricate black railings. Views of neighboring roofs or the street below aren't that interesting. All rooms come standard with free Wi-Fi, small wall-mounted flat-screen TVs, electric kettles, hairdryers, patterned slippers, and mini-fridges stocked with bottled water. Small bathrooms have single sinks and large showers. Towels are presented on a bamboo ladder leaning against the wall.
Features
Free breakfast and Wi-Fi, plus a cute cafe
As this is a budget-property, guests shouldn't expect too much in the way of extra facilities. A free breakfast is served every morning, then a la carte lunch, dinner, and drinks for the remainder of the day. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, and it's a nice spot to watch the world go by. A small shop sells souvenirs in the back of the cafe. Wi-Fi is free throughout the property.
