The hype
The staff treat pets like royalty, giving them welcome snacks and beds, but the human amenities are a bit basic.
Ketawa Pet Friendly Hotel
$50-85 / nótt
Pantaðu þetta ef You’re a dog parent who prioritizes your pet’s vacation over your own silence.
Af hverju fólk elskar þetta
- Genuine pet-obsession (staff remember dog names better than human ones)
- Massive polished concrete rooms that are easy to clean
- Social vibe where dogs can roam and swim freely
Stutt samantekt: A fantastic playground for dogs that happens to let humans sleep there too, provided they can sleep through the noise from the nearby riverside bars.
Farið yfir af @nycyorkiegirls: I brought my Yorkie here and honestly, she had a better vacation than I did! The staff treated her like royalty, and watching her paddle in the private dog pool was the cutest thing ever. If you're in Chiang Mai, this is a non-negotiable stay for pet parents.

Hreinlæti og viðhald

- Bathroom hygiene: Generally clean, though some reports of water pressure issues or lukewarm water.
- Maintenance: Industrial style hides wear well, but some fixtures (shower heads) can be finicky.
- Linens & towels: Clean, but basic quality. Pet beds provided are a nice touch.
- Odors & scents: Remarkably fresh. Reviews consistently praise the lack of 'dog smell' in rooms.

“I am a light sleeper traveling with my dog. Please assign a room as far as possible from the street and the riverside bar noise. A top-floor room is preferred to avoid footsteps from above.”
Algengar spurningar og falin ábendingar
Allt sem þú vilt vita áður en þú bókar.
Is the pool for humans?
Technically yes, but it's designed for dogs. Reviews explicitly warn it smells like dog and is full of fur. Don't book this for a human swim.
Is there a pet fee?
Usually no room fee for pets (unlike most hotels), but verify your specific booking platform. Pool use for pets costs extra.
Is it walkable to the Old City?
It's a bit of a trek (20-25 mins). You are closer to the Night Bazaar (15 mins) and the Riverside bar scene (5 mins).
Is breakfast included?
Depends on the rate. The on-site cafe serves a solid breakfast, but it's often a la carte.
How is the Wifi?
Hit or miss. Public areas are fine, but corner rooms often struggle with signal.
Are big dogs allowed?
Yes! They are famous for welcoming dogs of all sizes, not just purse dogs.
Innherja ábendingar
- ✨
The 'fireplace' in the Premier room is decorative/aesthetic stone, don't expect a roaring fire in tropical Thailand.
- ✨
Walk across the iron bridge (Khua Lek) at sunset for great photos and a shortcut to the Night Bazaar.
- ✨
The hotel offers dog grooming and bathing services on-site—book this for a clean pup before checkout.
5 hlutir sem þú ættir að vita áður en þú ferð
💡The 'human' pool is basically a dog bath; you will be the weird one if you swim in it.
💡The polished concrete floors are incredibly slippery for dogs with furry paws.
💡You can hear your neighbors' conversations (and their dogs' dreams) through the walls.
💡The location is actually in a very cool, historic neighborhood (Wat Gate) that is often overlooked for Nimman.
💡There is a Muay Thai gym next door if you want to workout (since the hotel lacks a human gym).
