In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Top-rated staff — Guests repeatedly call out the friendly, helpful team who go out of their way – from providing a ramp to assisting with bags.
  • Scenic riverside setting — The Ping River location creates a calm backdrop, with many rooms and the pool area enjoying direct water or temple views.
  • Well-equipped rooms — Rooms feature air conditioning, flat-screen TV, mini-bar, tea/coffee facilities, and private balconies or terraces.
  • Good value for the class — Reviewers find the pricing competitive for Chiang Mai, particularly given the location and facilities on offer.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Riverside means distance from center — The hotel is a 10-minute drive from some attractions, so you'll likely rely on the shuttle or taxis for the old town and walking street.
  • Check-in ends late — Reception is open 24 hours, but the check-in window closes at 23:59, so late-night arrivals need to plan around it.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so travelers with animals need to look elsewhere.
  • Breakfast not always mentioned — While many reviews praise breakfast, it's not listed as included in the base room rate – confirm when booking.

“My stay was wonderful – the riverside setting was gorgeous and so relaxing. The staff went out of their way to help, the room was spotless and comfy with all I needed, and the welcome drink was a lovely touch. The outdoor pool and sun terrace were a bonus. It exceeded my expectations – I'd definitely recommend it.”

“We loved this boutique riverside hotel. Our room was big, well-furnished, and had a small patio leading straight to the infinity pool. The temple view from the water was stunning. Staff were especially attentive when we struggled with the main entrance steps – they set up a ramp for us through a side gate.”
