When I found this hotel online, it looked perfect, away from the city. After spending only one night in Chiang Mai, I shoud've wished checking in in a hotel closer to Ping river or the old city where the happy people are. 7 Days Hotel is close to the big highways. For a tourist, exploring by foot to where the fun happens is way better than taking a cab. I was smart enough to rent a motorbike so I could go wherever I want. The rooms are new and clean. But you're not going to stay in all day, aren't you? Not wise, if you want to see and really be "in" Chiang Mai.
