It was a wonderful stay. Very relaxing ☺️. I would stay here again if I’m visiting Chiang Mai again.
Pros:

The location is great. The hotel room was clean and big. We were granted to have the river view so we appreciate that a lot. ☺️The room cleaning staff was very good at cleaning and they kindly hang our wet clothes by the window to dry. We were so touched. 😊 Moreover, a lot of coffee shops around the area if you are a coffee lover, it’s a good place for you. 👍

Cons:

The keycards didn’t work sometimes.

Preis/Leistung passen nicht und wir können es auf keinen Fall empfehlen. Leider...
Pros:

Kostenloses Upgrade (auch wenn es kein tolles Zimmer war), aber der Wille und die nette Geste war da.
Check-In und Kofferpersonal sehr nett und ebenfalls der Küchenchef.
Alles andere leider eher.... neeeee....

Cons:

Zimmer sehr alt und in die Jahre gekommen. Einige Dinge funktionierten nicht 1a, Klimaanlage sehr laut und sehr sehr uneffizient, dazu Gerüche auf Fluren und in Zimmern, auch etwas seltsamer Geruch aus der Klimaanlage, dazu Abplatzungen in beiden Waschbecken und der Badewanne, die dadurch nicht nutzbar war, es sei denn man wolle sich den Rücken aufreißen können.
Wir hatten ein Update von Junior auf Grand Suite bekommen, was ganz nett war, bis wir dann den Zustand gesehen haben.
Dazu ein toller Blick auf den Fluss, jedoch war eine total wellige und blasige Folie auf den Scheiben, also war kein klarer Ausblick möglich.
Frühstück sehr auf Chinesen ausgerichtet. Staff allgemein (Koffer, Check-In) nett, aber im Restaurant eher so lala (bis auf den Küchenchef, der sehr nett war).
Alles in allem 3/10 Punkten und definitiv zu teuer für das, was geboten wird.
Würden leider nicht erneut kommen.
Restaurant etwas in die Jahre gekommen, dafür mit River View Außenbereich - diesen durften wir aber nicht nutzen, da wohl viele Tauben draußen ware und deren "Geschäft" noch nicht gereinigt worden war. Also hatte man nichts von der tollen Lage am Fluss und saß beim Frühstück zwischen 100 leider oft sehr lauten Chinesen, die sich hier und da leider nicht benehmen konnten (oder wollten, sprich Rotzen beim Frühstück, viel Essen auf Tellern lassen, den Staff anmotzen...).
Stark auf Chinesen ausgerichtet. Kaum Auswahl für Vegetarier / Veganer.
Dazu fragte ich nach Oat Milk beim Frühstück. Der Küchenchef meinte kein Problem und brachte mir diese. Danach wollte ich für den Kaffe ein weiteres Glas und der Staff sagte, es gäbe keine Oat Milk. Ich sagte, dass ich doch gerade ein Glas hatte. Sie meinten das stimmt nicht, höchstens Almond Milk. Ich sagte ok, dann nehme ich die eben. Dann kamen sie mit Soja Milch und sagten, es gäbe im Hotel keine Oat oder Almond Milk... und ich würde lügen.

🌿A Warm Stay with Beautiful Views & Kind Staff - Just a Few Areas for Improvement
Pros:

We recently stayed at Centara Riverside Chiang Mai for 7 nights and overall had a lovely experience💛

- Smooth check-in & surprise upgrade
We arrived a little early, and the front desk staff kindly checked whether our room was ready. To our surprise, we were upgraded during check-in, which was such a wonderful way to begin our 7-night stay.

- Kind and helpful staff
The team was consistently warm and welcoming. A special mention to the staff member who assisted with our luggage — he gave us a little tour of the room and shared suggestions of places to visit. Because of his recommendation, we visited Doi Suthep, which became one of the highlights of our trip.

- Thoughtful touches
We were welcomed with a complimentary fruit bowl and a sweet note in our room. With Chinese/Lunar New Year approaching, the lantern decorations were beautiful, and the staff even personally delivered tangerines/pomelos to the rooms — such a meaningful gesture.

- Food & breakfast
The lobby restaurant offered delicious meals at great value for money — generous portions and very good quality. We also opted for the breakfast-included package, and the variety each morning was impressive.

- Spacious room & views
Our room was very spacious, and being on the 20th floor meant we had exceptional views — peaceful and scenic.

Cons:

We share these gently, as the hotel truly has potential💛

- Carpet smell
There was a noticeable smell in the hallway carpets and inside the room, which caused some sinus irritation. We managed by using scented candles and diffusers, which helped. Perhaps adding subtle fresh scents in the hallways or refreshing the carpets could enhance the experience greatly.

- Housekeeping details
While our room was generally kept neat, small threads or dust remained even after cleaning. It may help to review vacuum equipment or cleaning checks. One day, toilet paper wasn’t replenished and tissues were placed instead — perhaps supplies had run low, but clearer attention to these details would improve consistency.

- A little TLC in the bathrooms/rooms
The shower walls and certain areas of the bathroom could benefit from some refreshing. We also noticed occasional drain smells when toilets were flushed from higher floors, and the flushing system felt slightly weak at times. Small maintenance updates could make a big difference.

- Restaurant availability & communication
Although the food was excellent, several menu items were unavailable during our stay. Additionally, for about three days, certain restaurant areas were booked for private events. It would have been helpful if this had been communicated in advance so guests could plan accordingly.

Overall, we truly appreciated the kindness of the staff and the warmth of our stay. With a few maintenance improvements and small communication adjustments, this hotel could easily elevate the experience even further.

Thank you to the team for a memorable visit to Chiang Mai💚
