About
The Rodman Hotel
The Rodman Hotel sits on Prapokklao Road Soi 5, a quiet street that's still within easy reach of Chiang Mai's old city walls and the Sunday night market. It's a 14-minute walk from the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary, and the airport is roughly 5 km away. The hotel keeps things simple: a 3-star property with an outdoor pool, a coffee shop, and a restaurant serving breakfast and packed lunches.
Rooms are designed to be practical and comfortable, with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, mini-bars, and tea and coffee facilities in each unit. The Junior Suite adds a private balcony and pool views. Family extras like cots and a children's menu make it a viable option for those travelling with young kids.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Pets are not allowed — The hotel's policy is no pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Check-in is limited to afternoon hours — Check-in only runs from 14:00 to 23:59, so early arrivals will need to wait or store luggage.
- Room ratings vary across categories — While rooms and staff score well (8.9 each), some general categories score lower (like cat7 at 8.0), indicating possible inconsistencies in some areas.
- Price point may be high for a 3-star — Starting at £218 per night, this is a premium for the star rating, though guests generally felt the location and service justified it.
