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.

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 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.
