The oddly named Raming Lodge is set in the centre of the Loi Kroh shopping and bar strip and is great value for those determined to stay at the heart of the action. Both the standard and superior rooms are super-clean and well furnished, though only those on the higher floors have any view to speak of. The bathrooms are spotless. Staff are courteous and professional. If this is the area you want to stay in, you'll struggle to do better than here. Walk-in discounts often available ans some may find the Loi Kroh area rather sleazy. Another downside is there's no pool, a facility that's available in many cheaper places.

Fantastic - 15th January, 2010
Reviews seem way off, this is a great place and it has everything you could want...Location is the best, food was fantastic, service was simply fantastic. This place has done everything right, rooms were very nice, staff and management that really cares. I was most impressed with the place and extended our stay to enjoy more of what chiang mai has to offer. Did I mention location! Great daily breakfast buffet, and yes they do have a pool, its just located across the street..short walk out the back door...this is thailand and it is very common to add on a pool without being directly in the middle of the place. Go and enjoy.

good for sleeping - 29th March, 2006
Got a room at Julie Guesthouse but couldn't sleep without a/c so ended up here after the night market. The rooms are very very clean and the air con is heaven sent after a HOT night out on the town; however, not much ambiance to speak of and the crowd is older- don't expect to meet many traveling companions or even anyone to really talk to.
