Wiang Inn Hotel Chiang Rai

“Attractive and great location”

I stay there frequently. The room is large,well equipped and quiet. Check-in was shambolic. The lobby has an excellent musician but the bar service is poor. Buffet breakfast is excellent. Staff are friendly.

“Nice stay, good location.”

We had a good stay at Wiang Inn Hotel, we got the Green Bus service from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai and the bus terminal was literally around the corner from the hotel so really convenient location, we walked there which took less than 5 minutes.

We had a good stay at Wiang Inn Hotel, we got the Green Bus service from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai and the bus terminal was literally around the corner from the hotel so really convenient location, we walked there which took less than 5 minutes. Lots of bars/restaurants within walking distance from the hotel so really good location. We had interconnecting rooms which was great, comfy double bed in one and two single beds in the other, nice bathroom (bits were dated) with a bath and shower, soap/shampoo etc provided, water replenished daily, tea/coffee and kettle, safe, fridge, towels supplied, rooms cleaned daily, TV with cable channels. Outside there is a big pool, it was pretty cold but the kids didn't mind and had it to themselves every time we used it, there were sun loungers but they were rusty and felt like they were going to collapse when you sat on them! definitely need new ones. The breakfast wasn't great, fine if you stick to toast and jam! The eggs were left out and no fresh ones available, cold sausages and ham, there was fruit but normally just sliced water melon, the staff stood and stared while you were getting breakfast and when sat down eating, little off putting! We noticed that there was a karaoke bar in the hotel but when we asked about it they said covid shut it down and it will not be reopening again, real shame, there was a bar in the reception area that had a man playing piano, not the best, no one sat there either, its a nice hotel but like a lot of the area it seems since covid its had a big impact and a lot has shut down and never reopened, sad to see. Overall the hotel was good, big hotel, great rooms, good pool, great location, if we return to Chiang Rai we would return here, great value.

“OK hotel, but very disappointing pool area”

The hotel was quite dated, but the location was good and it was close to everything. Staff were nice, especially at breakfast. Breakfast was quite limited and mainly Asian food, but they were happy to make eggs and omelettes for you if requested. The biggest disappointment was the pool. We had pa… more

The hotel was quite dated, but the location was good and it was close to everything. Staff were nice, especially at breakfast. Breakfast was quite limited and mainly Asian food, but they were happy to make eggs and omelettes for you if requested. The biggest disappointment was the pool. We had partially picked the hotel because of the pool, as we'd just arrived from the UK and wanted to get some sun while we were there. The pool is in the most ridiculous location, such that there is no point in the day when it gets any sun at all. It's hard to imagine anyone designing a hotel with a completely shaded-at-all times pool, but that's what's happened here. It's therefore virtually useless, so if you're after a hotel with a pool, I'd suggest trying somewhere else.

Chiang Rai was the second leg of our Thailand travel and we arrived at the hotel early evening and hit the streets for dinner. There were plenty of places to eat close by and there was a small night market a block away from the hotel. Loads of places along the street to get massage, which we took advantage of. The rooms were good size, but dark and had a bit of a musty smell. The bed was very hard and not very comfortable I literally thought there were two box springs stacked instead of a box spring and mattress. Not our best night sleeping. The breakfast buffet was average. Best thing about this hotel was the location, but not as comfortable as other hotels we stayed at on this trip. The area was good, so if I could, i would try and find a different hotel in the same general area. after a long day of travel, a comfortable bed is the most important thing to me and these beds just weren't that great.
