Promoting animal cruelty is not acceptable
Pros:

Good rooms , friendly staff

Cons:

I can’t believe in 2025 there are still establishments promoting animal cruelty in the form of elephant riding on in room brochures. It’s a real shame as it means I cannot recommend this hotel

A lovely all-suite hotel by the river.
Pros:

The location is very nice - by the river. It's quiet and peaceful, which is what we wanted. The staff were very courteous and always helpful.

Cons:

If you want to be in the middle of the city, this is not for you. But they do offer a free shuttle to the Old Town.

Excellent Hotel!
Pros:

I cannot say enough good things about this hotel. The hotel itself was a boutique hotel where each room is like a small apartment. It was very modern and clean. It has snacks and drinks in the lobby every day for you eat/drink that are complementary. You have to order your breakfast the night before, but it is a wonderful breakfast and they have it ready for you the next morning at your chosen time slot. What made this hotel exceptional was the staff. In particular, the front desk staff. They were always helpful and were able to assist us with our needs. I had a minor accident and they arranged for a driver to take us and pick us up from the hospital for free. They were willing to pick us up no matter how late we were going to be. In addition, they noticed that I was in pain while walking to breakfast and when I came back, they had a wheelchair waiting for me to assist me when I am at the hotel.

Cons:

The only thing was that is was about 10 mins outside from the downtown core however that was not a big deal. We often used the hotel complementary shuttle or used a Grab app which was very affordable. It was right by the river which was very nice and there was a 7/11 right across the street.

Wonderful!
Pros:

This boutique hotel is wonderful! The staff are attentive and courteous and nothing is too much trouble. The apartments are immaculate, kudos to the cleaning team. We ordered breakfast to be served in our room and it was well presented and delicious. I stayed in a few hotels in Thailand and this was my absolute favourite. The location is not walkable but that didn’t bother us, the hotel provided a car into town and the night market or we sometimes used the Bolt App. Would stay here again.

Pros:

The perfect place to base yourself. Quiet location, wonderful staff and the suite was spacious, clean and quiet. Free transport to the old City takes about 10 to 15 minutes. 10 minutes to the airport.

Big on luxury, small in size
Pros:

This 16 suite hotel was probably the best value for money hotel that I have ever stayed in.
There were 4 of us staying in a 115 sqm suite with 2 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, a dining room, a kitchenette, a living room and a balcony.
Service from the staff was very attentive.
Breakfast could be ordered the day before from an ala carte menu, with no limit on the items just the quantities. It was served punctually to the suite and nicely laid out on the dining table.
It was a luxury and a time saver. There was no need to leave our suite to go to a restaurant. The only set back was because all items had to be ready before being brought to the suite, they were a bit cold, especially the hot drinks. Perhaps some solution can be found for this. For us, it was a small price to pay for the convenience.
One issue that we had in both bathrooms was the water temperature. It simply could not keep steady.

Pros:

One of the best places we have ever stayed. It was a few minutes from downtown but we had the hotel driver take us to several areas in town on our request. He was not only on time but early every day waiting on us. . The staff went out of their way to help with all our needs. My wife’s shoes were severely wet from a Toto the National Park and the staff helped with an extra fan so the she’s would be dry before or our flight in the morning. The rooms and service are well deserving of a five star rating. We left for a five star hotel in Phuket and the Chiang Mia Riverside is head and shoulders above the hotel in Phuket. Thank you Chiang Mia Riverside for such a great experience. We may not be back to Chiang Mia but we will refer our family and friends who plan on visiting.
