“If you have no expectations you will be happy with this hotel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 November 2010
1
person found this review helpful

The location is great and the view is fantastic. However service is indifferent.. Staff have a couldn't care less attitude - they behave as if you will never be back and that they don't care. On arrrival they took my luggage and left it outside my door with no regard for security. I had requested a non-smoking room - they gave me a smoking room. The staff did offer to relocate me the next day, however, it seemed every room they showed me was in the same worn condition. I was confirmed in a room with a king size bed, they gave me double. WIFI didn't work in my room. Included buffet breakfast was poor. I would have liked to use the pool, but didn't because I never saw it being cleaned during the three days that I was here. If you want a hotel that is not a two star and you can't afford a five star then I'd reluctantly recommend this hotel. But don't expect a 4 star experience. Tour operator in hotel lobby was a fantastic guide, great value. I wanted to leave the hotel a day early, they said okay but you'll have to pay anyway. This was within their right, but they could have decided differently given the problem with my room WIFI.

“Medium to High standard hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 June 2010

Medium to High standard hotel with a beautiful view on the river Mae Khong separating Thailand from Burma and Laos. It is located in walking distance to the town center to do boat tours or other sightseeing.
Rooms are comfortable given the poor environment in this area of the country.
Breakfast is either on individual order or two different good quality set menues.
Swimming pool area including furniture was very old and used up.
I and a water snake (appearantly all water snakes are non poison) that was entering the pool (1 m away from me) were the only guests.
Hotel ok to visit the Golden Triangle for a short stay.

“A great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 April 2010

A reasonable and reliable 4*, and rooms had all the facilities you would expect, except for a safe ! However they charged for internet use and a hotel mini bus to Chiang Saen. We stayed for 4 nights, and the hotel was empty during the day, we had the swimming pool to ourselves. The tour groups poured in at night and departed the next morning. The food was average with a buffet at 850thb, but there was an a la carte menu, as a cheaper option. The location was excellent, overlooking the Golden Triangle, and all rooms have views of Laos, Thailand and Burma. Having visited the area 12 years ago, the immediate area is very touristy and quite tacky, however take a songtawh to the Burma border or Chiang Saen, plenty of walking, and special dinner at the Anantara (20 minutes walk away) and you experience the real Northern Thailand.

“We had a really awful meal in the hotel restaurant!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 April 2010

Like other travellers I agree that one of the downsides to staying in this area is a lack of decent restaurants, yes the views were fantastic but it is out on a limb about 10k from Chiang Saen and although we enjoyed the experience I would look for somewhere nearer to Chiang Saen if I was in the area again. The meal we had in the hotel restaurant was terrible and overpriced. The hotel has seen better days and most of the business seemed to come from coach parties staying just one night. However we enjoyed our stay and found a great tour guide Mr Gan, who we spent a day with visiting hill tribes and treking etc.,
