    A very good but noisey and child focused hotel

    Why not excellent you may ask? Because on almost every occasion I have stayed here, I have always been disturbed by noise of some kind. The most common noise in this hotel is screaming children running around, banging from the room above or to the side but also there is always some form of industrial drilling or metallic banging in the area near the hotel. You would think that there might be some form of noise insulation but there is not, everything can be heard from outside and in the next room. I do like this hotel because it is the only one in Chiang Rai which really knows how to look after their guests, unfortunately, the designers/owners of the building didn't invest in soundproofing of any kind which really affects the whole experience. My advice is don't stay any longer than 2 nights because the inter-room noise, even in an almost empty hotel (which was the case for my latest visit) is always present. The hotel has also recently reduced the size of and moved its fitness room in favour of more child-related entertainment which is a real shame because the original fitness room was a good size and very well equipped. Now it is smaller with far less equipment and very little space to exercise. On my most recent visits I have felt that there is a definite move by the hotel to attract families rather than couples or singles travellers. So you might want to check out the other riverside hotel nearby if you want a peaceful relaxing hotel, unless of course you don't mind kids running around and screaming in literally every part of the hotel including right outside your room.

    I travel to Chiang Rai from Chiang Mai several times per year with my girlfriend to visit her parents so I have stayed in almost every hotel in the area. The Riverie is a safe choice for anyone visiting the city because it ticks nearly all the boxes for an enjoyable stay. I have stayed here probably 10 times of the last 3 years living in Thailand and this hotel is consistently very good.

    Light switches in the room if labelled will be helpful and easy to use.

    We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. The 8th floor room was quiet, cozy, comfortable with a good view of the river and from garden. The breakfast lay was good and tasty food. Even the al-carte dinners, we enjoyed by the riverside where the entire space was beautifully decorated with LED lights. Very romantic and quiet. Staff was helpful for guidance and information about the town.

    We had 3 rooms booked in total and only one of them was ready when we arrived at 2.00. The other two were only ready at 3 pm. The breakfast time was so hectic that it was hard to find a spot for all of us.

    Great place and a lot to look around. The decoration was amazing and we had so much fun walking around at night. Loved the art exhibitions of local artists. The indoor play place was amazing. The rooftop bar has the best view of Chiang Rai.

    When we checked in we weren’t given any information like other hotels. It was only the next day did we realize that there was a shuttle bus in the evening and that you Could walk into town in about 15-20 minutes. On our last evening we realized that there was a restaurant up on the top floor. Again if we had been told we would have had dinner there one evening. Staff at breakfast were slow to respond to refilling items and slow to lay tables and clear up. Great hotel but just lacking in information from the staff.

    Lovely hotel, spacious clean and loved the light garden.

    Walking into Chaing Rai town was a little far. Hiring a taxi or tuk tuk is a necessity

    The hotel itself is beautiful. The staff were exceptional, very friendly and professional. The room was comfortable and nicely appointed. Loved the pool. The food at the restaurant was very good.

    Wish the water in the waterpark area was heated because it was absolutely freezing and even the kids didn't want to get in.

    Riverie exceeded all my expectations with its spotless rooms, excellent amenities, and outstanding service.
