Huandalha Resort — spacious rooms with a kitchenette, a quiet garden and a budget price, close to central Lamphun
If you are coming to Lamphun on a budget but want a room bigger than a small town hotel, with a little kitchenette to boil water or heat food, Huandalha Resort is a popular pick. It is a small resort of around 30 rooms, laid out as single-storey buildings around a garden in Pa Sak, Mueang Lamphun, close to the town centre. Rooms have a small kitchenette, fridge, TV, air-con and free Wi-Fi, with free parking, a restaurant and a massage room on-site. It opened in 2019. From approx. ฿800/night.
Huandalha Resort sits at 118 Moo 15, Pa Sak, Mueang Lamphun — still within Mueang district, a few minutes' drive from the town centre. It is about 5 km from Wat Phra That Hariphunchai and roughly 20 km from Chiang Mai Airport, so Lamphun makes an easy base for visiting both towns. The resort sits near a main road, which makes it easy to find — but rooms on the road side do catch traffic noise, so light sleepers should ask for a garden-side room set back from the road.
What guests mention most is that the rooms are more spacious than you would expect for the price. They are single-storey, arranged around a garden, with single, twin (two single beds) and double options. Inside there is fast-cooling air-con, a fridge, an LCD TV, and — the bit many like — a small in-room kitchenette to boil water or reheat food, handy for longer stays or saving on meals. The large bathroom is another point reviews praise. Decor is simple for the price — nothing fancy, but clean and complete.
"Very spacious room, big bathroom too, air-con cools fast, and the little in-room kitchenette is handy. Friendly, helpful staff and great value for Lamphun."
On facilities, it covers the essentials on a budget. There is an on-site restaurant, a massage room, a garden to stroll, free parking, free Wi-Fi, laundry service and a front desk. Self-drivers like the easy parking and that the resort is simple to find, being near the main road. Breakfast is local-style and served in the morning (charged separately). There is no swimming pool, so if you are set on a swim, look at other options in this list alongside it. Overall it leans on spacious, good-value rooms rather than luxury facilities.
On scores, Huandalha Resort earns steady praise for room size and value. Trip.com rates it around 7.7 from 19 reviews, and Tripadvisor around 3.3 out of 5. It scores well on room size, cleanliness, friendly staff, and prices starting in the low ฿800s — good value for a room this size with a kitchenette built in. Across platforms, the consensus is that it suits travellers who want value and a roomy base to relax in.
There are a few things to know before booking. Because it sits near a main road, road-side rooms catch traffic noise, especially trucks at night — light sleepers should request a garden-side room. A few reviews mention construction or refurbishment noise at certain times, and limited flexibility on house rules, so confirm the terms when you book. The resort is plain and simple, with no pool, and it is not in a walkable old-town strip — most dinners and cafes mean a drive into town. If you expect a boutique feel or brand-new fittings, set expectations to the price.
In short, Huandalha Resort suits travellers who want a spacious, clean room with a kitchenette, in the low-฿800s, a quiet garden setting, and still close to central Lamphun. If you are driving, staying several nights, or want to save on meals with the in-room kitchenette, it fits well. If you want to walk to old-town restaurants and cafes, need a pool, prefer a boutique style, or are bothered by traffic noise, look at in-town options alongside it.
A tip from following the reviews here: ask for a garden-side room set back from the road — it is much quieter at night. On longer stays, the in-room kitchenette genuinely saves on meals, so bring some dry goods or shop at Lamphun's market. Set the resort's GPS pin before you arrive for an easy approach. During temple festivals and merit-making days at Wat Phra That Hariphunchai rooms fill fast, so book ahead and lock in a free-cancellation rate first.
