    A wonderful hotel in Chiang Rai for three nights. It was the best hotel in terms of value for money and comfort that we stayed in during our month-long trip to Thailand. The staff was incredibly friendly. The rooms are very spacious and clean, with a very comfortable bed. The only downside was that the shower water drained a bit slowly. The location is a little outside the city center; it's a 15-minute walk through busy streets to get there. I would choose this location again on a future trip, as I don't want to stay right in the heart of the city. We rented a scooter, and there was covered parking at the hotel. The location is convenient for the bus station and the airport, both of which we used. Breakfast was really good – I'm gluten-free and had indicated this when booking. On the first day, they said, "We don't have any bread." This wasn't a problem for me, as it's very difficult to find gluten-free bread in Thailand. I didn't mention it again, but the next morning the waitress brought me incredibly delicious gluten-free bread at breakfast, which I was very happy about. I even had it again on the third day! The lovely rooftop pool is perfect for relaxing. I would absolutely recommend this hotel 🙂

    We had an absolutely perfect stay at the Selene Chiang Rai Hotel! The staff was extremely attentive and the service excellent. Check-in and check-out were quick and easy. The location is only about a 10-minute walk from the city center, quiet yet central. We had a superior twin room, which was very spacious and comfortable. The beds were super comfortable, and the water pressure and temperature in the shower were just right. The bidet was also a highlight! There's a rooftop swimming pool with a beautiful view of the city. Breakfast was included and offered a good selection of Western and Thai dishes that changed daily. We even received a small souvenir upon check-out, as it was Christmas – how nice! The Selene Chiang Rai Hotel is definitely my first choice when I return to Chiang Rai. A big thank you to the staff for a wonderful stay!

    The room was spacious and had a decent shower room. The staff was excellent and always helpful. Breakfast was more than adequate. The veranda at the entrance was inviting for relaxing and enjoying a drink after a day of sightseeing. The hotel is located in a relatively quiet area 👍🏼, so walking to the busier parts of Chiang Rai was a bit inconvenient, as it involved crossing a main road. Once across the street, however, everything was easily accessible.

    Tips for visiting hotels and resorts

    Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.

    After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.

    Location is more important than the stars

    A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
