Reviews and Ratings
This hotel was a true oasis! The tranquil atmosphere offered a peaceful escape from the busy parts of Chiang Mai, with beautifully manicured gardens and a lovely riverside view. The staff made us feel right at home, being warm and attentive, especially Tent who took great care of us. While our room was absolutely delightful, I wish the water temperature was a bit more consistent during our stay. Overall, we felt this boutique hotel was excellent value for the experience it provides.
The hotel is a peaceful retreat away from the city's hustle and bustle, with beautiful surroundings and amazing food. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, but some areas could use better lighting. Overall, it’s an excellent choice for those seeking a tranquil getaway, although the dining options could be improved.
This boutique hotel is a true gem with a beautiful mix of traditional and modern design. The gardens and riverside views are breathtaking, creating a tranquil atmosphere. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed, making for a comfortable stay. However, the dining options could use improvement and the pool area lacks sunlight, making it less appealing for sunbathing. Overall, it's a delightful place but with a few areas needing attention.
This boutique hotel is a hidden gem with a charming blend of traditional Thai style and modern amenities. My stay was fantastic, with spotlessly clean and spacious rooms that offered a lovely view of the gardens and river. The staff were particularly helpful and attentive, making the stay even more enjoyable. The dining experience was highlight, with excellent food and great options, though the location, while peaceful, is somewhat removed from the main attractions. Overall, a wonderful experience with high value for money.
This hotel offered an incredible experience with its beautiful blend of traditional and modern Thai decor. The rooms were spacious and well-maintained, creating a comfortable environment. The staff were genuinely helpful and attentive, but at times, some requests took longer than expected. The location along the river created a serene atmosphere, though it required a short taxi ride to the city center. Dining was delightful with excellent meals, particularly enjoyed next to the river, but the breakfast variety was somewhat limited. Overall, it’s a fantastic place to unwind after exploring nearby attractions.
