    We were here last minute over New Year's Eve and paid a really high price for our room, which made it really bad value for money. For a third of what we paid, it would've been a 9.

    It's super central, directly at Pai river, yet still quiet.

    Noise from the bars nearby kept us up until 3 am 2 of of 3 nights. For some reason the third night (a Saturday) was silent.

    The buildings and property were very attractive.

    The breakfast was a bit awkward one day it’s a cooked and the next you just make some toast

    Lovely staff, you have to pay in cash and they didn’t pressure you to go and get the cash out right away you could check in and everything first We had a beautiful room next to the river and after three days we wanted to stay longer but had to change room this room was a bit dark but still really nice

    The hotel wi-fi is not good.

    There is a choice of cooked breakfast to suit eastern and western taste. The hotel is located by the Pai River and guests can relax by it. The hotel has a rustic charm. This is our second 2-day stay at this hotel in twelve months.

    the pillows are too hard for my liking and the bathroom light is so dark. small issues but overall a great little hotel.

    very clean and good location, close to everything in town but quiet. nice big rooms with a lovely balcony area. freshly staff and fresh little breakfast included.

    We booked a deluxe double room and on arrival were told we had to have twin beds. Upon reflection I should have asked for a discounted rate, but it didn't really matter because the beds were comfortable and the room was very nice. We loved the terrace.

    Beautiful traditional wooden building, gorgeous well looked after gardens and in a fantastic location. We only stayed here for one night as we needed somewhere last minute. After arriving we wished that we had spent a few more nights here as it was just beautiful.

    The minuses didn't bother us much but it would be fair to mention them. Our aircon remote wasn't working and they couldn't fix it or give a new remote during the whole 5-days stay, so it was only on/off option. The bed is pretty hard. The door is locked on the padlock and there is no safe if that is important to you. Although we didn't have any problems with safety. There is a rooster nearby who can wake you up in the morning before your alarm clock :)

    A nice traditional looking place next to the walking street in Pai. The rooms are a bit outdated, but big and clean. Shower was strong and hot. The staff is very nice, we extended our stay in Pai and they gave us a nice price as well. The breakfast was tasty and filling.

    Uncomfortable bed. Disappointing breakfast. Buildings not well maintained, and rotting wood replaced with cheap non-wood materials, losing their distinctive charm and character, a real pity. In need of of proper renovations with real wood to restore the property to its former style.

    Beautiful gardens, idyllic setting next to the river and perfect location. Strong, hot shower. Charming Lanna style wooden architecture, but in dire need of maintenance.
