As said in other reviews, this is a wooden guesthouse, next to the river. We had a fantastic suite with two large rooms and a bathroom. The room, including its furniture, is beautiful. We had a TV with satellite / cable TV. As the guesthouse is built of wood, you could hear the neighbors or they could hear you, if... More

Rooms cost around 600 baht and are great in that there are no tv's - pretty basic but keeping with the traditional, northern Thai setting. The common area is relaxing and well furnished. There is a/c and the staff are great, with the boss, Lorenza, a true Lampang great. It's quiet, peaceful and well situated for the weekend walking market.... More

My wife and I stayed here as part of a tour we took through Northern Thailand. We arrived in the evening and left the next morning, so we didn't spend much time here during the day. We really loved the gardens and seating out by the river. We found the communal area to be great for chatting/playing cards/having a drink.... More

Rooms here are rather small and no tv, The staff is very polite and helpful, the owner is a very kind lady from Italy who also happens to speak perfect thai. The view of the river is relaxing and romantic. The overall design of the guesthouse reminds me of a Chinese home back in the 19th century,very tasteful. Rates do... More

We only stayed one night, arriving in the evening and leaving early morning, so I can't comment extensively. However, like others, I loved the wooden structure which adds a lot of character. It's not great for keeping noise or insects out, but we didn't suffer from either as other guests were respectful and there are mosquito nets and burning coils... More

My stay was everything I was expecting, and more. Run by a lovely lady who has lived in Thailand for 30 years (since her teens) she is a pleasant combination of European graciousness and laid-back Thai hospitality. She made me feel right at home from the moment I walked in. My first night I stayed in one of the river... More

I stayed here for 2 nights in room number 11 (one of the few shared bathroom rooms). The room was on the 1st floor, above the parking spaces, and very traditional - made entirely out of wood, with wooden shutters and screens on the windows, instead of glass. There was a very comfy double bed, as well as a very... More

Dear Management of Riverside Guest House, It is a shame to make a hotel manager to call for you (in Thai of course), in order to make a reservation and upon arrival discover that no rooms are available. Mistakes happen, that is not an issue. Trying to cheat on guests, however, is a complete different matter. We arrived in Lampang... More

This quaint, characterful guest house is on the river on the bottom of the main 'strip' where all the places to eat and drink are. I found the service, price, quality and rooms all to be without a single fault. The rooms are lovely and they have an outside area to hang out. The rooms even have a bath -... More

Lovely traditional thai wooden house but huge list of donts like the gate gets locked at 12 whether you are in or not make it a bit like you are on a school trip. Ran by some unthai people this was the most unfriendly place we stayed in the whole of thailand. Bed was hard but was clean and quiet.... More
