There's a bit of a debate about this hotel. Is the decor and theme modern minimalist or just lacking in soul? I think the latter. Don't get me wrong, this hotel is in a beautiful setting with all the mod-cons, very comfy bed and friendly staff, but I left feeling something was lacking. Staff try hard, but there does seem...

We spent 2 nights here after driving up from Chiang Mai. We should have stayed 2 weeks. This property is situated on the banks of the Kok river just out of the city. There is a free shuttle bus from the hotel into the city. There are many restuarants within walking distance from the hotel along the river. It is... More

The size and quality of the room is amazing. I love the speed and coldness of the AC, comfort rest. Hotel location is excellent to explore the region or neighbouring countries. Only problem is that the food at the resturant relatively the same after a few days of stay. More

Driving through town my expectations were somewhat limited, but when you pass through the gate one is blown over by the impressive sight of this extraordinary hotel.

We enjoyed our stay here very much, though it was only OK in that the rooms didn't have anything to them, bit all of the staff was very helpful and generous. Overall I guess it is still a noce place. More

I expected a lot more from this hotel, but instead got a lot less. The lobby was grand, but the grounds weren't picturesque, just impersonal and bland. The rooms were the same. The staff claimed there was WiFi in the rooms, but that was not the case and they refused to a different room that would have better WiFi, because... More

Thanks to the help of Tripadvisor's reviews, we switched from booking Dusit Thani Island to this 5 star hotel. We've had great experience with this hotel chain in Bali and Kuala Lumpur, and this one in Chiang Rai lived up to our high expectation. The hotel property is spacious and not overly crowded with travelers. The swimming pool is huge... More

Stage two of our thai trip was to chiang rai and again we booked this hotel throught trailfinders. As I mentioned earlier I will promote again the benefits of the 5 day/4 night guided tour as you get maximum results if you are spending a short time in the north. The guides are excellent. The meridien is a modern hotel,... More
