Ruen Come In

“Home away from home!”

Absolutely fantastic place! Clean, modern, comfortable and a big big TV in every room. I stayed here for over two months. The hosts are a lovely Thai family that go above and beyond to make sure all their guests have a good stay. Can’t complain will be back later. Felt like a home away from home.

“Your Thai Home Away from Home”

Like staying in the home of your long-lost Thai family. Architecturally notable property of vintage teakwood construction and carvings, interesting tile work and murals. Located in a mixed-use area with everything from the usual massage places and laundries to busy late-night entertainment spots. The house was originally the family home of your host, Mai, who will do everything to ensure you have a pleasant stay. I loved the pool and the breakfast choices. Don't miss Mai's macrobiotic breakfast, which includes her homemade miso, congee, fresh fruit, and sautéed vegetables from the organic farm. Of course, bacon, eggs and toast available too. A little off the tourist path, but dial a Grab, and you can be just about anywhere in Chiang Mai in under 10 minutes.

“Genuinely different”

There are a number of hotels you can pick around Chiang Mai, but I doubt you'll find anything like this, which is a collection of teak houses on a decent sized plot, a family owned hotel which feels like it's gradually been engulfed by modern Chiang Mai as the city expands.

There are a number of hotels you can pick around Chiang Mai, but I doubt you'll find anything like this, which is a collection of teak houses on a decent sized plot, a family owned hotel which feels like it's gradually been engulfed by modern Chiang Mai as the city expands. The owners are lovely people, and the lady of the house goes out of her way to ensure everything is to your liking ( as well as giving us a lift over to the station to get rail ticlets when there was a tropical downpour). The pool is enough to swim in, the gardens are lovely and the breakfast brilliant. HOWEVER - it is a good bit out of the old city....we borrowed hotel cycles, but they are a bit old, and therefore a bit of a slog. We also hired scooters, which worked really well. But there are no worthwhile bars /restaurants in strolling distance, which makes life difficult, especially in 36 plus heat. If you get the choice I'd suggest the rooms on the left of the compound. The rooms on the right, whilst older and more authentic, are also nearer the bypass, and thus noisier. But overall I really loved staying here - it's warm, it's different, it's Thai.

“Ruen Come In - Chiang Mai.”

We chose this hotel because it was recommended by The Telegraph - however we were disappointed. The rooms although authentic weren’t very clean.

We chose this hotel because it was recommended by The Telegraph - however we were disappointed. The rooms although authentic weren’t very clean. It is not a central hotel and out on a limb and it is next door to an incredibly noisy nightclub. The owners were very polite and helpful and breakfast was interesting. It’s shabby chic but certainly more shabby than chic.
