I stayed here for two nights when passing through Phrae. At the time, there was a conference in town and a lot of the hotels were full; this one was one of the few available. The room is clean and comfy and everything went smoothly. There are two points to note about this hotel. Firstly, there is a nightclub attached to the ground floor which seems to be the hottest ticket in town after midnight when the other venues close. I popped in a drink or two and it was still in full swing when I left at 3am. And from my room on the 5th floor, I couldn't hear a thing, so noise is not a problem. The only issue with this hotel is the location. Every time I left, I faced either a long walk or a Grab ride somewhere. If I visited Phrae again, I'd stay on Yantrakit Koson Road or somewhere closer to the bus station. But if you're into clubbing, game on.

“Comfortable bed, spacious room”

The spacious room I got was very bare, while there was a kettle, there were no coffee mugs. Staff at check-in were friendly, not so much at check-out. Could not regulate aircon as batteries went flat during the night on the remote. Lots of parking available, nice view from the room.

“Respectable Thai Upcountry Hotel”

The Thai wife and I stayed here for a night recently. She needed a medical procedure that got delayed a day so we needed somewhere to stay.

The Thai wife and I stayed here for a night recently. She needed a medical procedure that got delayed a day so we needed somewhere to stay. Did our usual and looked at TA for selection and decided this hotel looked okay. Drove to it and sent the wife in to ask for and secure a room. We paid 1,200 baht for a room on the 8th floor which the website said had been renovated. There is plenty of parking on the hotel grounds and we were soon upstairs. Wife went out and collected some food and drinks for a nearby convenience store. The room had indeed been renovated and everything was clean and working in it. However later I did find the bathroom door was sticking and the shower did not drain quickly. The worst aspect of the room was that the wifi was unusable unless you were standing next to the room entrance door. The tea/coffee making facilities were good. Only Thai language television stations. I decided to use the massage service in the hotel foyer and was pleasantly surprised and relaxed by the head and shoulders, then foot massages. Was given a nice soap amenity. The bed was comfortable and we slept well. Our room had a good view to the south east and we got a nice sunrise against the distant mountains. The hotel feels secure. Our room rate included breakfast. It was pretty standard fare including bread/toast, fried rice, fried eggs, fruit, congee and pastries (I think). Tea, coffee and orange juice also available. There is a coffee shop off the foyer and a restaurant as well. There is a limited room service menu. This is a reasonable hotel and I think probably best suited to Thais but quite acceptable for a short stay by others.
