Follow the address and the changed name

Yellow Pillow Hotel is the small property at 65/1 Sanamkeela Soi 1, north of Chiang Mai’s Old City. Traveloka identifies it as renamed The Wishes Hotel at Chiangmai. Match the address when checking availability under either name; Yellow Pillow Village is a different property.

The listing places the hotel in Si Phum and includes air conditioning, Wi-Fi, parking and luggage storage. Its position outside the Old City gives it a different daily rhythm from accommodation within the moat. No pool facilities from Yellow Pillow Village should be transferred to this hotel.

A family room with loft mattresses

Mujib’s three-night family stay in June 2018, reviewed that July, supplies the most distinctive room detail: a spacious room with mattresses on a loft level. The review praised immaculate linen and bathroom condition, a garden breakfast and a quiet setting, while noting the walk to the Old City.

That is an account of the family’s room, not a description of every category. Anyone seeking the same arrangement should confirm that the loft configuration belongs to the room currently offered, including how its sleeping level is reached.

Breakfast and finding the entrance

BM’s March 2018 review liked the beds, air conditioning, shower and freshly cooked breakfast, and placed the hotel outside the old-town moat. Darren stayed on 26 December 2017 and reviewed in February 2018. He liked the refurbished-looking room and fresh breakfast, mentioned a resident dog, and reported that drivers had difficulty locating the property.

The resulting picture is of a small, quiet base with memorable breakfast service during those visits. For a booking today, the changed name makes a clear address and arrival pin especially useful. Historical guest praise should guide the questions you ask, without becoming a promise about present breakfast or room condition.
