Very elegant, classy hotel, well situated. Tanquay, the manager is super dedicated to achieving superb levels of excellence. Staff is friendly, helpful, very careful to make sure that water bottles are well supplied.

The breakfast was confusing - on arrival we were asked to choose from a tick-box menu for what we would like for breakfast; however when we went to breakfast the next morning, that was disregarded, and we helped ourselves to a very lovely buffet. Not a big critique or even anything that was inconvenient, just a bit confusing.

Upscale boutique hotel with wonderful decor, beautiful rooms, fantastic beds and overall a simply brilliant experience. The breakfast was amazing, and the staff were wonderful. Very conveniently located. Not a budget option, but worth it if you have the option to splash out a little bit more, but by no means exorbitant.

Nothing.

The hotel has been beautifully decorated, and attention to detail is elegant. There are so many beautiful and peaceful sitting areas both inside and outside in their beautiful gardens. The rooms are large, clean, and again beautifully done. The restaurant is also beautiful and elegant, the breakfast options were great and the food was excellent. Staff are incredibly helpful and go over and above in their service. I would definitely stay nowhere else but Sooknirund.

Stingy breakfast. Half of the options were mostly empty and were only refilled on request and then sparsely.

Great Location but room with no view. Friendly staff.

The breakfast could be better, especially western options. Would be better to do a la carte breakfast.

Location is very good. Rooms are good size. Cleaning staff very friendly.

For the price, the rooms were a bit dated and the breakfast sub-par. Also, the outrageously expensive laundry service is a joke. We chose to do laundry somewhere else nearby. After 3 weeks of traveling in Thailand, this is the most expensive laundry service I have seen…

Nice location and nice architecture and decor. Very relaxing and completely clashes with the rest of the city, which I found quite nice

The hotel rooms can use some upgrading . It was odd having the toilet in the shower stall.

Staff is very nice

Decent location in town, yet also feels a bit secluded on the inside.

The bed was very hard, and we struggled to get the tv to work (but that could just be us)

Lovely staff, Great location. We lived the aesthetics, the rooms were clean and spacious.

First, the room did not live up to the description provided: "1 living room and 1 separate bedroom". What we found instead was a cushioned setting under the windows next to the bed. This discrepancy was misleading. Additionally, we were disappointed by the lack of English proficiency among the staff, which made communication difficult. Unlike other hotels we've stayed at in SEA, we found the staff to be unhelpful when it came to assisting us with booking tours and taxis. The comfort of the room left much to be desired. The mattress was hard, and the water temperature in the shower was inconsistent, fluctuating between extremely hot and cold. Although we appreciated the complimentary bottle of wine we received on our last night as a gesture of gratitude for staying four nights, it did little to make up for the overall dissatisfaction. Moreover, we found the hotel to be stingy with essential amenities such as toilet paper and coffee pods, providing only one roll and two pods per day. However, we did appreciate the provision of complimentary robes and bottled water. On a positive note, laundry services were available, but we found them to be expensive compared to nearby alternatives. In conclusion, while the Sooknirund Hotel has its merits, such as its location and aesthetic appeal, we ultimately felt that it fell short of its reputation and did not provide the level of comfort and service we expected, especially given the price point.

Our experience at Sooknirund Hotel left us feeling rather disappointed, especially considering the hype surrounding it. While the hotel's location was undoubtedly convenient and the hotel's aesthetic and ambience were pleasant, we found several aspects of our stay to be below expectations.

Overall it's good, no major issue, but the loft room that we booked didn't feel as spacious as we imagined it to be; eventually going up and down the stairs was troublesome. Some other rooms has smell issue from the bathroom, too. (Room 108). Receptionist staffs are okay, overall, but I think they can be more proactive. We arrived early at 11:30AM, and with minimum interaction we were told off with "Check in from 2PM". No offer to help with our luggage. First impression counts, and I can't say that's a welcoming one. Also, we asked them to help with booking a car for a day trip. They called back, told us it's 4,500 THB per day, from 9AM until evening, no time limit. We agreed and confirmed. The next day, the driver came, but he told us he's been waiting since 8AM and have to be back by 5PM. We had to rush back. Seemed like there's a miscommunication. Restaurant staffs are great, though.

Superb location, right in front of the Clock Tower. It's also located near the local market, so walking around the areas really give an unique experience. Many bars, night markets, too. Also, we stayed there during New Year, and to our surprise, Chiang Rai's broadcasted new year event was right in front of the hotel! The roads in front of the hotel were blocked and filled with open air tables and chairs set. Really exclusive location. Nice charming interior designs.

Very good value for an elegant hotel. Very clean. Beautiful inner courtyard. Staff very friendly.

despite the most staff members being friendly, but on our last day when we checked out, they charged our credit card a second time by error, and this was voided after a while without informing us, we were notified by our bank of this transaction half hour later that we were worried and spent another half hour to clarify the issue.

the location is just about 30 meters from the clock tower, very convenient.

Confusion over rates the first night was frustrating

I prefer a softer bed but the room as great, Air conditioning could benefit from having a silent mode as still quite load at night, Manager was a very nice guy and I enjoyed chatting to him.

Misrepresentation of booking.com. The room booked in booking.com stated comes with balcony but when check-in there is no balcony
