That said, it is nothing fancy: There are no boutique pretensions nor Lanna decor, but rooms are clean and more than adequate, with workable air-con, hot ensuite showers, decent WiFi and functional furnishings.

Top North Hotel is on the eastern moat road Moonmuang (and they also have a cheaper guesthouse version around the corner on Soi 2), but set back from the main road a way so it avoids the worst of the traffic noise. The hotel is laid out with a ring of four-storey blocks surrounding a very pleasant and spacious pool, bar and cafe area. The included buffet breakfast from 06:30 to 11:00 is very good and indeed at 100 baht per head is well worth considering even if you’re not staying at Top North.

Superior rooms are on the plain side, with tiled floors and spartan white walls, but are adequate, reasonably sized and clean. For a mere 700 baht including pool and breakfast, it's a good deal. Superior rooms see a bit more effort decor-wise, and they’re bright with large windows, better furniture and varnished floors. Deluxe rooms are correspondingly fancier again while their top-of-the-range suites are comparable to any midrange boutique spot.

If a simple, clean and inexpensive room is all you’re after, then Top North is a good bet, just don’t expect anything too fancy.
