A well laid out hotel with well appointed guest rooms. A good view of the river yet convenient for the town. no real weaknesses - just a bit slow with the coffee at breakfast time. The hotel is set in grounds by the river, the pool has an infinity design so you feel as if you are virtually in the river. The staff are very friendly and the guest rooms are in excellent condition with a very authentic feel.The shower room is large with an feeling of being part of nature.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : The night market is a reasonable walk and you can take a Took Took back- cheaper than the hotel trip.
The Hill Tribes Museum is worth a visit and a good place to book any trips.
A trip up the river to the elephant camp can be arranged through the hotel. The river trip alone was worthwhile.

Beautiful, natural setting along the river bank private patio not too comfortable for lounging or having morning coffee. only 2 small backless stools, small table and small wooden swing We chose this hotel on the referral from a friend and definitely were not disappointed. The setting was so tranquil and beautiful. They have made good use of local flowers in the gardens. The pool was wonderful and a great spot to watch the activities on the river passing by. The staff was courteous. The shower and bathtub room in our suite was very nice!

The hotel and rooms are excellent, we were really impressed The restaurant could have been better, but this could have been because it was out of season. The view from the restaurant was great. The legend is a great hotel, situated close to the centre and easy to find from the main road. It's in a really nice location, nice a quiet with great views of the river. The rooms are excellent, got to be seen to be believed. We highly recommend this hotel, the service, location and facilities are great.
Shopping Tip : We drive up to Mai Sai and did some shopping across the border

Comfortable room, separate dressing/robe area, good alfresco dining area by the river.
Machinery noise from the aircon heat exchangers, aircon could have been more efficient. No WiFi in room, technical problem - and very slow in reception area. The legend is well laid out attractively sited next to the river and the staff are helpful and attentive. The buffet breakfast could have had a larger range of food more in keeping with the room price. However, overall the hotel is a very pleasant place to stay and is close enough to Chiangrai for sightseeing etc
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Boat trips to nearby villages

- Good proximity to city
- helpful staff
- nice accommodation
- Nice pool - More vegetarian options on the breakfast menu (staff did accommodate) We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Legend. The staff were great and the accommodation was clean and very comfortable. They have a great pool along the river and the landscaping is great. The location was also good - not too far from the main town.The food was good however from the hot menu they did not cater for Indian Vegetarians as a standard - most "vegetarian" options had egg in them - having said that, the cooks were willing to make something for you on request.
For those that like to get their laundry done, there is a laundry about a 100 metres walk from the hotel that provides great service and is cheap (make sure you have a phrase book handy as the couple that run the laundtry do not speak a lot of English)

Everything, beautiful, quiet and a shuttle service to the night market Everything about the hotel was a positive from From our airport pick up, to the warm welcome we received at check in we couldn't have wanted a better place to stay after our 23+ hours flying from New York City to Chiang Rai.The hotel is comprised or two story bungalows set in flowering gardens. Our room on the second floor had an outside balcony with comfortable furniture, our room was divided into teo areas, one with a large comfortable bed, dresser, tv, etc. The other with a desk/work area and a small frig. The hotel provided drinking water in glass resealable bottles, which is much better then throw away plastic bottles. The pool has a view of the river along with more gardens. We had one of the best massages we have ever had and before dinner a hotel shuttle took us to the night market and picked us up at the agreed upon time.For a candle lit dinner outside with live music and the sounds of the river flowing by, not to mention a truly delicious Thai meal and great service. A hotel not to be missed if visiting the area.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : The night market was fun, not only for shopping, but food and music and people watching as there were more locals then tourists

quiet and very romantic for couples a bit out of the way; need to take transportation into town. a nice hotel giving good value for the money; a bit out of the way, but very quiet and very private. I would avoid Chaing Rai in March due to the contaminated air from the farmers burning their fields. Hotel provides shuttle bus service into town for 50BHT each way and a tuck tuck is easy to catch to get back. I would stay at this hotel again.

| Terrific hotel! |

Room-well appointed with water canals in front.
Breakfast buffet great. We loved the feel of this hotel. Very comfortable, elegant and relaxing. The pool is beautiful and the reclining chairs also face the river which is quite scenic. Breakfast was a huge tasty buffet.The tuk tuks come and take you to town to the night bazaar. We regret having only one night there.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : The boat trip up the river for elephant trek and hike was the highlight of our Thailand trip. We visited 3 villages and had an excellent lunch at one.

The suite design. The location on the river. The gardens. I don't remember thinking that there was anything I disliked or thought needed improving. We stayed in the Grand Deluxe Suite and loved how the jacuzzi was filled with water ready for our arrival. It was very inviting. The suite was well arranged, original in it's design and very well suited for a relaxing stay. The staff were friendly and helpful. We had the BBQ Buffet dinner at the restaurant. It was very tasty and the ambiance of the restaurant with the live music was just lovely.

A very quiet and restful bolt hole - away from the main city centre A bit of a walk to town - but cheap to travel by tuk tuk. Avoid using the hotels shuttle bus which is expensive. A great - retreat for a few days, particularly if you take advantage of the wonderful spa facilities. The rooms are beautiful and reflect a traditional style of decor.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : The hotel can organise some great trips, and they are quite affordable

Lovely rooms, nice pool, great setting I would recommend this hotel to anybody staying in Chiang Rai. The cleanliness of the rooms is excellent. The value for money is very good for the rooms as they are a good size, especially the shower room. The pool is very nice and looks over the river which makes a nice setting. The tours are expensive so it would make sense to book these through a different agent
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Take a tour to the Hilltribes with an organisation which gives money back to the tribes. Avoid the manufactured hilltribe camps

Impresive layout, fantastic view, good food, warm service. A distance from the city centre.
The hotel provides a relaxing enviroment for the body and soul. There are spas and massage services for you right at the hotel. The food at the in-house restaurants serve tantalizing local and Western dishes that blend with the surrounding atmosphere. The near by river allows for a cooling experience even in summer periods. Transportation to town is convenient and frequent and can be arranged by the hotel front desk. Local tours are also available for those who wish to explore the beauty and splendor that Chiang Rai has to offer.

Ideal for families or young couples that want to relax to do some tours, I would not recommend this for singles who want to emjoy the nightlife.
Travel tip : Don't get a bike or car in the hotel, they are mch cheaper outside (120/motor bike, 800 car)
