It is in a good location near a great hawker market. Easy enough to walk around town from. Host was super responsive. Comfortable enough beds etc. Awesome chilled water filter in lobby. Quiet.

“Wonderfull”
The location is superb. nearby almost all attraction. The room was clean and the design itself feel sophisticated. we love it. The aircond function well and suitable with the hot weather outside (after a long day outside, you want to come and rest in a comfortable room right? 😌)

“Good place to stay if you need to visit Royal Thai Consulate”
I booked this hotel as it is located pretty close to Royal Thai Consulate - just a 15 minute walk to the place. I enjoyed the stay with Minima 8. The check-in and check-out processes are smooth and contactless, guided through WhatsApp. The "Craftisan" room was clean and tidy, with a nice view to the mountains. There's FamilyMart really close to the hotel, it's way better than a local 7-eleven.

“Smooth and comfortable.”
The property was in a great location not too close to the busy city but walking distance everywhere. Supermarket downstairs and plenty of food near by. Owner was great with communication and if we needed anything got back to us in a timely manner.
