We have just stayed there for 5 nights and we were very happy. The staff are very friendly and helpful, always willing to help you with anything. Restaurant food was good. The rooms were very clean all with a great river views, my only complaint would be the shower leaks every time onto the bathroom floor which is quite annoying.... More

Rooms were very clean, king size bed and we had a patio facing the river. Also there were two pools. People in that area were very friendly, and it was just... More

The moment you arrive you know that you are truly in Chaing Mai, the staff are so beautiful (Siway) gentle and sharing. The rooms are so clean and charming as is the full hotel - to top of the beautiful hotel - you step onto your balcony and look directly at the river and a Temple - in the evening... More

This place is a Moroccan theme and has a great breakfast to start your day. It is not close to the city centre which is good and bad. Nice to have quiet at night. Bad to have to get to town - although they help you and give you a ride into the city for the night markets and only... More

We just spent two nights at this hotel (Feb 1-3) with our 13 month old and our 4 year old. I chose this hotel based on TA reviews, the fact that there was a pool and free parking and the special rates being offered on their website. The hotel looked interesting and we weren't disappointed. Overall impressions are: -Friendly, helpful... More

We stayed for five nights and were impressed with the friendly staff, the character of the hotel, and how clean our room was. The hotel is about a ten minute drive from the Old City but they do offer a shuttle three times a day and it is very easy to get an inexpensive taxi or tuk tuk to take... More

They decorated their hotel in Moroccan Style which apart from Chiang Mai design. Locating beside Ping river where you can see the river from your room or from their restaurant balcony. Room is bigger than similar. Very well decorate. The only thing we didn't like is their water. As they located beside river, then we assumed that they pump water... More
