BEST. HOTEL. EVER.”
My husband and I have stayed in 20+ hotels over 2 months traveling Thailand and this has been our absolute favorite! We're digital nomads in our 20's (not into night life really) and this place was heaven. The wifi is fast for zoom calls and everything else throughout the WHOLE hotel/pool. The beds are a medium hardness, not super soft but also not the hardest I've slept on in Thailand. The breakfast is the best buffet we've seen yet with pancakes, french toast, croissants, fresh fruits, yogurt, & so much more every morning. The staff is SO KIND and very chill to accommodate with any thing. We actually split up our 8 day stay between a deluxe King room as well as a River View cottage. The Deluxe King room was fabulous, very roomy, cozy, great views, no room in the hotel has a bad view either. The rooms are so clean and the bathroom is amazing! I do have to say though the River Cottage was comparable to camping or RVing essentially. The view/deck is cool but it's not worth all the bugs you deal with inside. Even though the cottage is clean it's just impossible to not have the occasional ant, mosquito or moth on the floor or even bed sometimes. You kinda feel banished from the hotel and to fully enjoy this hotel I don't recommend the cottages, but the wifi is still good even out there! Finally, the restaurant is open all day and into the night, it's not 5 stars but it's nice to have some Thai and international options right there. The 3 pools are so fun, open to 8pm, and no crazy chlorine smell. Also the hotel let's you borrow these beach cruiser bikes anytime you want which makes going out to eat or criuse around the famous Blue Temple next door, super easy!

Great!”
Pro: I’ m very impressed with the service, nice staffs ,especially a housekeeper , Mr. Pol ,he did not touch diamond earrings that I forgot in the room and cleaned the room very well. Very thank you to you again🙏. So far , I have really appreciate almost everything in this hotel. The room is quite larger than normal standard , very comfortable warm and sometimes feel like home. Cons: There was not variety of food in buffets, so the next day we went have breakfast outside.

An amazing place and fabulous restaurant ”
I can only rave about this hotel. I have been here in April 2021 and was so happy to return. I have been to other hotels in Chiang Rai and this resort is the best by far. The rooms are super spacious, comfortable and clean. Somebody put really some thought in where to position power outlets and light switches. The staff is amazing and one aspect I need to rave about is the hotel restaurant. Normally I always venture out for dinner but not this time. The food is just simply amazing and I have been in Thailand since November 2020 and seen good restaurants. So overall, it was an amazing experience and I am looking forward to returning.

Budget Ritz”
Caveat: we paid about 1/2 the usual price, due to seasonal slack--but what a steal. The grounds and lobby are extensive, well-maintained, beautified with riverside gardens and fine art. One big downside--the bed was very hard, so not the best sleep quality. And our room lacked a balcony. Otherwise, the room is very comfortably outfitted, with many thoughtful touches in storage space, lighting, and plumbing.

Large and comfortable room. Lovely semi rural setting.”
Generally very good. Beautiful large and clean pool. Nice little restaurant with very fair pricing. Only complaint was cold fried eggs (like they had just been taken from the refrigerator!), and no bacon! But I would stay again.

Beautiful resort on the river”
My family enjoyed our time here, swimming in the beautiful pool, taking hot baths, eating breakfast in the sunshine, and making evening trips to the park across the river. Very clean rooms. Good food. Hard beds, but that’s typical of Thailand.

Pleasant quiet place to relax”
We booked on the day of arrival and got a pretty nice deal. We only stayed one night, but we enjoyed the large room and bathroom. The staff were friendly and helpful. The pool isn't suitable for very young children as it is a bit deep, but if you want to swim lengths, it's a decent size. It's right on the river where there are quite a few restaurants, including Chivit Thamadaa, a superb bistro, about a 10-minute walk away.

Big room and good facilities”
I very happy with this cost (deluxe room is approximately about 1391 Baht/room/night). It has many facilities, big room and breakfast variety. But I feel a little bit fail about option of room (I choose double beds in every room) and repeated them again in special request since I reserved the rooms. When I arrived the hotel, they told me that they didn’t receive any my option of room and special request that I want double beds. Fortunately, one of the rooms that I stay had double beds by chance.

Lovely pool, on the river and close to town”
the city is a little spread out so the location of this hotel is a short distance from many of the key attractions. Pool is beautiful, staff very friendly and food a combination of western and thai.

Best stay yet”
Third trip to Chiang Rai and I must say the Imperial was the best hotel yet. I think my search is over as far as trying to step up the accomodations from previous trips. I'm hooked. This is where I will be coming back to on future trips. The staff went out of their way to make sure our needs were met. The grounds were amazing and drinks by the river at night was a great way to end the day
