einfach aber gemütlich eingerichtet
Nos alojamos durante 3 días y 2 noches y tuvimos una experiencia muy agradable. La habitación estaba muy bien, era amplia, espaciosa y estaba ubicada en un primer piso. La calefacción funcionaba perfectamente y la habitación se encontraba bien ventilada. La limpieza fue excelente y la recepción estuvo muy bien atendida. Además, la ubicación es muy conveniente, ya que está cerca del centro y nosotros pudimos ir caminando. En los alrededores hay un mercado, varias cafeterías y también un centro de masajes, lo que resulta muy práctico. En general, quedamos muy satisfechos con nuestra estancia.
我喜欢古色古香 木质有质感的床,服务人员也很好,对面的咖啡店吃个branch又便宜又好吃
如果可以有洗衣房就很完美了
Very comfortable, great location.
Nothing
Comfy room, very nice staff and cute facilities! Laundry service was a bonus and cheap :)
The walls and door were thin so noise was a bit of a problem
It was somewhere nice to stay, the bed was okay.
It was on top floor which ultimately was a lot for us to do several times a day due to no balcony. We ask for a coffee, and the staff told us that it's closed. And for the whole time we were there, we didn't see the coffee machine being used. Most of the staff were pretty rude. The shower was not great. It looked like I hadn't been cleaned on the head itself.Looked like it was about ten years old, there was a lot of lime scale.
地方不算大,但設計很好,有地位掛衣服,而且附近有很多不同店舖
L atmosfera
Qualche insetto di troppo ( ragnetti ,scolopendra ,scarafaggio piccolo ) ed un nido di piccioni fuori la finestra
I stayed at Rustic River for almost two weeks during my recent trip to Thailand, and honestly, it was one of the nicest places I’ve stayed on this journey. I travel regularly and stay in everything from luxury five-star hotels to small guest houses, and Rustic River reminded me that great hospitality isn’t about marble lobbies or fancy facilities. It’s about people, comfort, and atmosphere. The staff were consistently kind, welcoming and accommodating throughout my stay. My room was cleaned beautifully every day, and I was genuinely happy to leave a tip because the team worked so hard and took real pride in what they do. I’m actually surprised by some of the negative reviews. I had absolutely no issues with mosquitoes during my stay, and the Wi-Fi was reliable enough for me to attend work meetings without any problems. Yes, I stayed in one of the more expensive rooms, but even that was incredibly affordable. In fact, considering the quality, it felt like exceptional value for money. What I loved most was that this is a locally owned and operated guest house with real character. After spending time in larger corporate hotels, where you often get every facility but very little soul, Rustic River felt genuinely Chiang Mai. It has personality, warmth and a sense of place. There is no food service or breakfast, but that’s clearly stated when you book, so it wasn’t an issue for me. The location was perfect: close enough to explore, enjoy fantastic local massages, wander through nearby markets, and experience the city, while still feeling peaceful and tucked away. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the atmosphere was relaxed, and there was a lovely mix of travellers staying there. Is it a luxury hotel? No. Is it trying to be? Also no. What it is, is a charming, comfortable, affordable guest house run by lovely local people who genuinely care about their guests. For me, it was exactly right, and I would happily stay here again.
No complaints
I love traditional timber buildings, and the conversion of this one into a hotel is a great thing to see. My large room faced the rear of the building, so was protected from traffic noise. It was clean, and cleaned every day, with a large comfortable bed, and spacious ensuite. The air-con was a must because it was really hot while I was there. Lovely staff member Yo helped me with several things I needed. You can walk to most sights and markets from here, and songtheows are on the front street.
Loved my stay here. Great location, comfy bed, hot shower and very clean!!
Nothing i didn't like.
Staff were so helpful and kind. Room was spotless and bathroom facilities were amazing :) would definitely come back <3
Très bon rapport qualité prix, logement très adapté pour visiter Chiang Mai
قريب من جميع السوق
قديم جداً
مكان جميل 👍🏻
Zimmer war ok, alles etwas abgewohnt, das Personal war freundlich, die Lage grundsätzlich super.
Sehr laut da an stark befahrener Straße gelegen, ausserdem, wie so oft in in Südostasien, sehr hellhörig.
Big room, nice location , supportive stuff, quiet and clean
All good, breakfast missing
L’ambiance était très paisible et le personnel était une crème, le ménage est fait tout les jours et avec deux bouteilles offertes. 😱 Merci encore pour votre gentillesse! 🫶🏼
L’esprit….
Het bed lag heerlijk en gaf een charmante sfeer.
Nice rooms
Not near embassy as they say. Cannot walk to embassy Us consulate moved Need to change their website
It was lovely, very elegant and cosy. The manager was very kind and helpful. I totally recommend.
Sooo cute and clean. Great AC, friendly staff
Magnifique hôtel en bois avec beaucoup de charme
Great location. Quiet, clean, and very cute!
Excellent location
Hope to have more hangers
Sehr nettes Personal und eigentlich auch gutes Zimmer. Die Lage nahe China town war für uns noch ma was neues und lud ein zum entdecken.
Leider war vor unserem Zimmerfenster ein schwarm von AC-Anlagen und eine davon war so wahnsinnig laut das wir kaum schlafen konnten. Ohne Ohrstöpsel wären wir hier nicht zu Ruhe gekommen. Leider Ameisen im Bad.
Overall location to market & restaurants
No breakfast/ no pool/ no view
Sehr nettes und hilfsbereites Personal. Zimmer waren groß und hatten sehr bequeme Betten
Zimmer können laut sein durch Aussengeräusche von Strasse oder Lüftung von nebenliegender Werkshalle. Das Hotel liegt außerhalb der Innenstadt.
Wonderful stays.
Sehr nettes und hilfsbereites Personal. Das Zimmer sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Auch die Lage war ok, nur bisschen laut, wegen der Straße.
Personnel charmant.
편하게 잘 쉬다 왔어요 저렴한데 시설도 깔끔하고 조용하고 좋아요
조식없는건 조금 그랬는데 저렴하니까 괜찮아요 커피같은거 있었으면 좋겠어요
Clean. Helpful staff. Central for markets. 7/11 and restaurants. Lots of sight seeing choices provided by the hotel.
It was a very pleasant so I have no complaints. A word of warning I paid for an extra day as check out is 12 noon latest. My flight was late evening so having somewhere with ac to shower before the flight was essential.
The room was big enough, clean and the decor as the name suggests is rustic. There was storage space so we could put our belongs away and not live out of a suitcase. The bed was comfortable but could use some better pillows and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The location is convenient to walk to markets, restaurants and other sights.
The internet was very weak where some days we were unable to use it on our last day the there was no internet at all. The windows are very thin so you hear the street noise all the time and the pigeons cooing in the early morning as well as dogs barking. Our room was on the 4th floor with no elevator, the staff did give us an option of one on the 2nd but it was quite a bit smaller.
Small, personal feel to the hotel
Photos make the “rustic” part look more like an aesthetic. However the hotel is more just actually rustic
Très propre et chambre spacieuse
Un peu d’odeur de cuisine pour la chambre au Rez de chaussé en début de soirée
The staff are accommodating, the bed is comfortable, and the floor looks squeaky clean.
I have stayed in a lot of basic hotels in Thailand, but at least we always got our money’s worth. Here, there’s no elevator and it was quite noisy even on the fourth floor. The toilet didn’t look very clean to me. I’m genuinely unsure why the rating is high. The first hotel we stayed at in the area was much better and cheaper, and they even offered a buffet breakfast.
Lovely helpful staff. All wooden flooring and had a great feel Served coffee downstairs
No lift and our room was on top floor. We were travelling with 20kg but staff helpef.
Tadelloses geräumiges Zimmer. Alles da, was man braucht und was dem gewählten Standard und Preisniveau entspricht.
Leider hört man die Straße sehr gut.
Chambre super, mieux isolée que d’autres pour le bruit et rien à dire, tout parfait !
Super hôtel, très joli et chaleureux, personnel très gentil et réactif, très propre, les lits très confortables !!
Le bruit de la route, un peu désagréable (certaines fenêtres dans certaines chambres ne sont pas très bien isolées) mais sinon tout était super
Relatively quiet area only when it was busy traffic. Close to the markets and some restaurants.
The shower drainage was poor. The plastic tray in the fridge was full of juice, probably left by previous guests. Therefore cleaning work should be done after people check-out.
it’s close to the main tourist attractions.
The beddings have smell which made me uncomfortable to sleep.
Het is een heel klein hotel met slechts 12 kamers maar er zit de hele dag tot 23 uur iemand aan de receptie. Alle dames die daar gedurende mijn verblijf aan de receptie hebben gezeten waren even vriendelijk en behulpzaam
Er is niet iets wat echt tegenviel. Eén avond deed de wifi het niet op mijn etage maar de dag erna was dat weer opgelost en ook daarbij was het personeel heel behulpzaam.
Very spacious, bright and clean room. Staff was also friendly.
The room we had was facing the main road and thus quite noisy - probably the rooms at the back are quieter. Wifi was not strong/stable.
Good location. The wooden decor is quite unique.
This hotel is probably luxurious by backpacking standards, but for people who are used to proper hotels this place is not sufficient. There is no elevator, and for twin bed rooms that ALWAYS means a climb to the upper floors. The room itself has antique airconditioning that requires some creative angles to turn on consistently, and a fan that doesn't do enough on its own. The door to the bathroom is not the type that keeps out all sounds. The shower is especially subpar, it took us a moment to figure out how to even make the water warm. The water never really got hot. Most annoying perhaps was the lack of a proper closet or rack to hang clothes on. For a long stay this is especially annoying. This basically forced us to live out of our luggage during our stay. Oh yeah, the street is loud as hell too. The window doesn't close fully, so the person sleeping at the window can feel a continuous draft. The price is good but if I had known this place took the "rustic" theme this seriously I would have skipped it.
Das Personal war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Die Betten waren bequem. Das Zimmer war zum Glück nicht direkt zur viel befahrenen Strasse. Dennoch hat man nachts die Lüftungsanlage der benachbarten Firma gehört.
Die Lage ist etwas ausserhalb
Staff very friendly and helpful. Great thanks. 😊
Mooie ruime kamer, rustig hotel. Centrale ligging, 7-eleven op loopafstand. Personeel is behulpzaam, maar spreekt niet heel goed Engels.
Wij hebben onze was laten doen, zelfde dag schoon terug maar helaas wel een aantal kledingstukken flink gekrompen.
Staff great and rooms made up with fresh sheets everyday. Staff lovely and tried for everything we wanted. Quiet stay with everything close by. Roads noisy but in quiet room at back. Stayed a few extra nights before moving on. Traffic stupidly busy but walked everywhere. Got bikes. Public transport hard to access but to be honest, didn't try. Would use again. Nice coffee. Nice chat.
Had to change rooms but it was sold out. Nothing.
boutique- personal- hotel with charm
More for backpackers. Zero late night amenities, no gym, no extra blankets on very cold nights, no hot water in basin, … only shower.
Hated leaving my shoes in the foyer downstairs and walking up and down very slippery stairs, … virtually an accident or fall waiting to happen.
Het was ok, ik vond de service niet heel erg gastvrij, niet echt contact-makend, prima voor de prijs. Ok kamers
Badkamer was super basic. Geen warm water.
Posto umile ma il personale molto gentile, accogliente, tutto in ordine e pulito.
La posizione non era proprio centrale.
Good place to stay, There is 99 THB buffet Mukata which is beside of the hotel. The hotel is near to the river and walkable distance to Chinatown.
I have a meeting which is not completed yet 12:15 PM and the hotel check out time is actually 11:30 PM. They let us stay until 12:30 PM. The blame is on both side, Yes, we are staying almost 1 hour over. But the staff is rushing us to finish my meeting immediately and check out the room. That one thing makes me uncomfort. But I agree, I also have to check out on time.
Staff were very friendly, bed was comfortable and location was great.
Paying a little extra for the large room was well worth it
The shower curtain in the bathroom
Perfecto todo
ทุกอย่าง
ไม่มีลิฟท์
Wygodne łóżko, pościel z czystej 100% bawełny, wystrój
Umywalka w pokoju, zamiast w łazience
We decided to stay here during the lantern festival. It was a great central location. There are so many venues across the bridge on the river, a 5 minute walk to Chinatown market, 10 minute walk to lots of other markets, live music venues and rooftop bars. The rooms are "rustic" but in a good way. Staff is awesome!
No elevator which normally is ok but we were on the 4th floor and there is no AC in the common areas. Need a shelf or something in the bathroom for toiletries.
Chambre sapcieuse et propre, lit confortable. Pas loin du centre, au calme la nuit. Personnel très agréable.
Des odeurs d’égout un peu persistante dans la salle de bain, mais quand on ferme la porte tout va bien
Tout était parfait 🤩 magnifique 🌟🙏
Le style l’emplacement la qualité des échanges avec le personnel 🌟
Room very nice and clean, staff really friendly, I’ll be back again for sure
