I had a very pleasant stay here. Would recommend and stay again in the future. Breakfast had a nice variety and staff were friendly and kind as usual in my Thai experience. I loved the entire experience in Chiang Rai!

Place is very quiet. My family stay during slow season. If yoh look for a live hotel area its not a place for you. The place is more of a sleep and wake up and go. The hotel is older but if you really want a Thai feel but still in modern than yes. The place do need a work on the garden to make the place look more alive but other than that my family had a great time because we don't really like crowded and noisy place so it fits our family well.

It’s nice but it’s a bit run down. I’d say it’s more a 3 star with nice service. Breakfast could be better but we didn’t prepay so only did it once. It is secluded but close enough to easily get a ride. Staff are great which we find to be true all over Thailand

Do not pick this hotel based on the photos. As others have mentioned. The property today does not match those images. It is very run down. Our room had a broken shower head that leaked water everywhere. Plus you could not change the temperature on either the shower or hand basin. It came out boiling hot. Its a shame as the property has so much potential if it was maintained and upgraded. Having said that if you are aware of what you are getting, then its not the worst place to stay. Staff are lovely and super helpful.

We had no complaints on this hotel and in general enjoyed our stay, however unfortunately the hotel is not well kept and is becoming a little run down. We believe some renovation was happening, which led to noise at times but compared to other properties we stayed at in Asia there seem to be no efforts to keep the general grounds tidy (in particular dead leaves everywhere and the lakes and gardens looked messy).
The shower head in our was broken and we only had a bath tub and no shower. But other than that no issues with the room. The property is outside of town so taxis are required. Great potential with some investment and whilst no major issue, we left a little disappointed.

When booked, breakfast was included in description however, not include included on arrival. The grounds need a lot of upkeep to maintain what was once a beautiful property. The restaurants were mostly closed. The spa was closed. The pool was open, but not clean and the bar was closed.There are no amenities in the surrounding area for food or entertainment. The room was nice and clean and comfortable, however very noisy with Neighbours.

Die begrüssung am Abend war sehr kurz und spärlich. Wir haben keine Informationen bezüglich den Angeboten oder Frühstückzeiten erhalten. Der Raum sah ok aus. Im Bad gab es jedoch Schimmel und die duschkabine/badewanne war aus einem Plastikguss. Die stufen in die Dusche waren mega hoch und unangenehme. Das wasser war entweder kochend heiss oder kalt. Das Frühstück war ok . Die Anlage war allgemein eher runter gekommen. Und wir hatten Abends für 20-40 min immer wieder Strommausfall.
