Rasa Boutique Hotel

Friendly welcoming staff and great service

Love our staying, the staff was the best! Would stay here again

Quarto e cama bem confortável, silencioso e escuro pra dormir, bem localizado também.

Great upgrade to suite!

Nous avons passé 9 jours dans cet hôtel! initialement ça devait être 5, mais nous avons ajouté 4 jours de plus, car nous y étions bien. Il est environ à 15 minutes de marche du centre, mais si on aime la tranquillité, c’est l’endroit parfait.. la terrasse et la piscine sont très bien, malgré que la piscine est beaucoup trop froide pour s’y baigner. Petit-déjeuner chaque matin assez variés et le café est excellent! Grande chambre spacieuse par contre le lit est assez dur et la salle de bain très petite et qui devient toute mouillée dès qu’on prend une douche.. Les employés sont tous excessivement gentils et serviables, nous recommandons cette hôtel!

Our stay at the Rasa Boutique Hotel in Chiang Rai was generally pleasant. The reception was friendly and efficient and less bureaucratic than some Thai hotels: We had two rooms, one for me and my wife and a second for my wife's sister and her young adult daughter, who arrived later. We were able to check into both rooms without needing to have everyone's ID copied. The hotel is slightly dated but is designed in a nice Moorish theme. The pool was easily accessible but did not appear to be that well maintained; quite a bit of small debris was floating in it, but that was a minot annoyance. Our rooms had no water pressure for the showers when we arrived, but after we alerted the front desk, maintenance people took care of the issue quickly. Breakfast buffet is adequate, but not fancy, though fresh brewed coffee was served. Our rooms were on the second floor, but there was no elevator. (Not bad for us, but a caveat for people needing accessibility.) One comment on printed information in the hotel description: The Chiang Rai night bazaar is described as being a "17-minute walk" from the hotel, when it's actually about three kilometers away, and you really need to take a cab. The King Meng Rai the Great Monument also is a bit more than the "2-minute walk" in the description. It's fairly close, but more like 8-10 minutes away!

Very friendly staff, good pool. Receptionist gave me tips on local restaurants and attractions. Rooms are nice, clean, thick pillows, hot showers. Main complaint is the lack of attractions nearby, with most of the scenery 1km away.

For the price, I think there are much better hotels out there (I met folks staying in them, I was jealous!). The hotel was clean enough and common areas cute, but the room, especially the bathroom, felt old, tired and needing upgrades. The room was large, but with tiled floors, cheap sheets, a hard mattress, and only 2 pillows. It felt more like a motel. The bathroom was pretty rough (and older than what other reviews seem to picture) and minuscule. This is technically walkable to the center, but on a very busy commercial road and it’s not a nice walk, so the staff recommended I get a grab taxi. Cheap enough, but it’s not like location was a redeeming feature. The breakfast was fine but very basic, and if you are looking for a lovely continental breakfast this isn’t it (wonder bread and water melon was it on that front). Staff were kind but not so geared for recommendations etc. The photos looked nice, but I was bummed I spent three nights here.

Friendly and helpful staff, excellent breakfast buffet, funky pool, adequate rooms. Well-located in Chiang Rai to grab transportation to the major sites (White Temple, Blue Temple, night market and town area), and there is ample parking if you are driving to Chiang Rai. Our only compliant is that the walk to the night market area was a little dicey with lots of bigger roads to cross - OK for us as two adults, maybe not for others.

Pool was clean and staff were very attentive. 10 minutes walk to the centra area, plenty of parking.
