Phrae hotels & places to stay

We had a vehicle so found this small but charming hotel very convenient and delightful. The free breakfast was fine, but we never put high priority on that at any hotel. We had three rooms and all members of our group enjoyed the stay. The rooms are clean and comfortable. It was great to arrive in Phrae in the early afternoon and just relax for the rest of the day before leaving in the morning.

Everything is so perfect, except the unfriendly front office girls. They seems they do not want me to book the hotel from Agoda, they said the prices are not that big different, which is around 6 USD. At last, I booked the hotel from agoda, even I wait for the book confirmation to save money and to comment for their service! Later on, I came back to them and ask for the internet password, and they told me with the unfriendly face. But the other departments gave a warm welcome, like security guards, house keepers, and the waiters. No smell on the bed, perfectly clean. I recommend this hotel if you have a chance to visit Phrae, just ignore the service from front office.

Phrae is a bit off the beaten track, so one shouldn't expect to see the same high levels of sophistication as in BKK or Chiang Mai. The pace is slower here, but the people are nicer and the prices are cheaper. We found this hotel to be clean and comfortable, staffed by people who are kind and good hearted (ใจดีมาก). We stayed in two different rooms for our 2-night stay, and in both cases, the rooms were clean, in good condition (most hotel beds in Thailand are very firm), and had good amenities. The breakfast buffet, contrary to what some other reviews have said, was excellent, but may intimidate some people who aren't familiar with Thai breakfasts. All of the staff were friendly and kind, and exemplified the very best in Thai customer service. We wanted to tour around the city and surrounding villages -- one of the best parts of Thai domestic tourism -- and the manager gave us a detailed overview of places to go, but never steered us toward any tourist traps. When I was having trouble with my in-room wifi, one extremely kind gentleman (Khun Roon) stopped what he was doing to reboot the wifi servers. Voila! Problem solved. To be honest, we were so charmed by the staff that we brought them back some food treats when we went to the night market/food stalls, The garden area is nice for breakfast, and you could linger as long as you wanted without feeling hurried or crowded. But you need to beware of mosquitos if you hang out there in the evening.

Secure parking, large bed, building a little tired but clean. Our breakfast was included first morning was a set because not to many guests. Second morning was buffet. Only con is the night club music went a bit late and loud. Before choosing this hotel we looked at "The Best Hotel" after 1/2 hour in the heat of the day to find it, absolutely no signage, and the rooms dingy and bed rock hard. So this hotel was like a palace for only a couple of $ more. And included breakfast.

This is the hotel for what u can dream of! Room and price and all facilities are great! Located not far from city and tourist attraction. If u come to visit Phrae u must stay at this Hotel. HUERN NANA JOMSAWAN PHRAE.!!!!! PS. BREAKFAST INCLUDED

The hotel is new and the rooms and bathroom are exceptionally clean. Mr Q is a great host, he picked and dropped us off from the bus station, organised a motorbike rental to be collected from the hotel and told us the best places to visit in Phrae. We felt Phrae was the friendliest Thai city, local people go out of their way to help you, taxis drivers are honest and although there an no tourist attractions, Phrae depicts real Thai life. A great stopover place, untouched by tourists and you get to see and meet local Thai people with very good English.

I had visited Phrae twice before and stayed at two other hotels. The Gingerbread appealed to me because it was close to the old city just a short walk to the night market and the cluster of shops and restaurants that I had visited before. The Gingerbread has recently been repurposed and imaginatively remodeled. Unknown to me at the time of my booking, it also has an association with a man who has inventoried and gives tours to the amazing array of teak structures in Phrae, once a center of foreign logging concessions in the late 19th and early 20th Century. There is even a gallery on the 2nd floor of the Gingerbread that inventories and describes (in Thai) hundreds of wooden structures in the city. He was very helpful in planning my motorbike visits to many of these. The hotel itself is very pleasant. Breakfasts are outstanding, and the coffee is GREAT! I enjoyed my stay in Phrae and appreciated the helpfulness and hospitality provided by the manager and staff. I'll be back.

Nice modern small resort in Phrae, close to town centre (walkable). Our room is cosy and functional. Owner and staffs are friendly and helpful. The resort is part of Hug & Mug Cafe where you can also enjoy a good cup of coffee before exploring the town.

This hotel was good with a simple tasty breakfast. Staff were helpful and kind. We enjoyed our stay. Only 1 small details pillow was a bit lumpy and too big. Not so soft. Thankyou for our time at Come moon. We wish you luck

We stayed for just one night and it was a great place to rest. They are in the middle of the district that sells all the Indigo clothing made in Phrae...hence the name 'Indigo House'. The breakfast was great, I am gluten free and they were so kind to make me a simple breakfast that wasn't on the menu.

The hotel is situated right on the old 101 road in the middle of Phrae (pronounce Phrair), ie not the new by-pass road, also called 101. It is a fair sized budget hotel with both fan and air-con rooms, we had two air-con rooms. The rooms were a decent size and had high ceilings so gave a good impression of spaciousness. The twin beds were good size singles but unfortunately were extremely hard so not at all conducive to a good nights sleep. Lighting was reasonable. The room had 2 spare electrical sockets for guest use as well as a shaver point in the bathroom – great. TV was a decent size and there was Cable TV though I couldn't find any English language channels on it. We were on the 2nd floor in 308 & 310 and the view was of the main road below and a building opposite so not great. Also it was fairly noisy at times when some of the bigger lorries passed. Free internet access was available, get the 10 number password from Reception. Connection speeds in our room were slow and sometimes failed but it was OK for checking e-mail etc. The bathroom was a adequate size with a shower, toilet and washbasin. Water pressure was OK, no hot water tap in the washbasin so you had to use water from the shower if you wanted warm/hot water. No toiletries apart from soap. We ate in the hotel restaurant in the evening and although we were the only customers there, service was friendly and the food quality perfectly fine. Breakfast however was very poor, with the only food being provided buffet style was Kow Thom (Thai rice soup) and 2 fried rice, and fruit Service was generally fine with the staff being polite and helpful. English understanding though was very limited. Parking was plentiful and accessed from either the main road or the side road which goes past the side of the hotel at the traffic lights. Although there were some drawbacks, the hotel was good value for the price that we paid and if we came back to Phrae for a short visit we would probably use it again.

Once we found the hotel, it is in a different area of Phrae than the one we normally stay in, it was easy to park and the staff on duty made us feel very welcome. Once the booking in process was completed we made our way to our room and it was just what we wanted and I must say the size of the TV screen was a nice surprise. We had a nice quiet stay before moving on to our final destination and will defiantly use this hotel again, its nice and clean & very modern.

Owner seemed to always be on site and take personal interest. Very friendly and helpful in giving advice about Phrae. Place was spotless and in great condition. A great place to stay and I hope to have the occasion to stay there again.

It as a perfect setting near al the activities offered in charming Phrae with a very friendly staff and an exceent buffet breakfast. I will recommend for a nice weekend away for Chiang Mai and more than very reasonable

Great stay. Very clean room and the beds were amazing. I like firm beds and these were some of the best beds I've ever slept in in Thailand. Very friendly and helpful staff with a good range of services including motorbike rental. Hotel was quite busy and they could not fulfill my request for a large bed so I got two twins instead.

Location: Excellent location, approx. 2k from the bus station (I went there from the bus station on foot). Many attractions are within 500 m radius of the home stay (Khum Chao Luang museum, approx.300 m, Wongburi House, approx.500 m, Wichairaja House approx.300 m, etc.) including the night food zone (Pratu Chai, approx.350 m). However, if you wanna save some time, they have bicycles to lend you, not sure how many bicycles are available so it is best to inform them upon check-in that you would like to borrow one. Accommodation: Very nice wood house, I had an air-con twin room. The room was spacious and well-arranged. You might find the room a little dark because of the colour of the wood but the lightings were adequate (bed lamps, working desk lamp, mirror lamp, etc.). Many plug sockets to use, at each bed, the working desk, the mirror, enough to allow me to charge a few devices at the same time. There is one regular size fridge to keep the drinks cool. The water temperature of the shower is easy to adjust :). Overall atmosphere: very quiet at night, very peaceful. People: the owners and their staff are very kind and could give you useful suggestions about the attractions. It was also very nice of them to give me a ride to the bus station on the day I went home.

Although the hotel is just a standard modern three storey building on the outside, inside it is pleasant and comfortable. The double rooms, with AC, flatscreen tv and a nice shower room, are attractive and good value for money. Breakfast is included in the price and there is free coffee or chocolate available at any time so the hotel offers a good deal to travellers. The little roofed outdoor restaurant area at the back of the hotel - behind the small car park - is pleasant and the food is fine, especially the rice soup. Other guests there seemed happy with the place, not least because the staff are very pleasant indeed: friendly and helpful. If you want a basic, but comfortable place to staff in Phrae, this is it.

I stayed 1 night at Homestay Ban Suan Khuean while travelling through north Thailand by motorcycle. I have to say I had some difficulty finding the house, but the effort well worth it. I was made to feel at home and enjoyed joining them for a real home cooked dinner. My room on the first floor of the house was perfect in every way. Exceptionally clean and beautifully furnished. Again, breakfast was steaming hot and home cooked. In summary, I could not fault this home stay.

You get more than you pay for here. The rooms are a good size. Both the aircon and refrigerator work well and the wifi was good. Really the only issue here is the bed. It is without a doubt the hardest mattress in Thailand. My wife and I like our bed to be firm/hard but I think the tiled floor was softer. It’s a pity really as everything else in the hotel was good, terrific really for the price.
