This is a small boutique resort in typical Lanna-style with spacious rooms and beautiful interiors. I really enjoyed the quietness of the place, sitting in a courtyard shaded by trees in the cool mornings, sipping a cappuccino prepared by very hospitable people. Traveling with a little boy, it was also great to have a small garden where we could play football in late afternoons. The house cat, Moo Nom (=soft pig :o), became almost like our own friendly little pet.

The breakfast menu was limited, so don't expect too much or go have breakfast outside the resort at some of the many great breakfast and brunch places around town. The location feels a bit awkward, dark and isolated, although very near one of the central areas of Chiang Rai. The road approaching the resort is undergoing work and is bumpy and dusty. You definitely need your own transportation. The resort does not have a swimming pool or fitness, however it was a very comfortable base from which we made day trips.

I was apprehensive when reading some of the views but it turns out I had absolutely nothing to worry about. The room was larger than I expected and very clean. I don’t mind walking so wasn’t worried about the 30 minute walk into Chiang Rai centre. I did however, hire a scooter for my stay as I wanted to visit other places. The garden area I walked through to get to my ground floor apartment was very pleasant and well tended to on a daily basis with benches all around if you wished to sit and enjoy the outside. I also noticed a small play area for younger children which consisted of plastic playground slides etc. I had a small, private outdoor area so I could sit outside of my room which looked out to the rear of the property. The rear view wasn’t as nice as the front but the water tanks and things need to go somewhere on the property but I didn’t find them offensive. I appreciate you cannot please everyone but the comment about mosquitoes - really? You are in a tropical country so they are expected. The hotel had gone to the trouble of putting large opening windows, front and back for fresh air if you didn’t want the ceiling fan (which was great incidentally) or air conditioning. They also had a heavy duty mosquito screen so no insects could get in when opened. The breakfast consisted of eggs cooked three ways and frankfurters but salad was available buffet style. Toast, coffee, orange juice and water were available and refilled if you wanted. The staff were all fantastic and nothing was too much trouble. I extended my stay as I had problems with flights but I certainly didn’t think about going elsewhere.

More variety on the breakfast menu but this is an observation and not a criticism as they were always cooked very well.

Family like atmosphere Warm and friendly service Quiet

The hotel is rather old. No lift-I have knee problems now, so difficulty with go up and down the room.

Beautiful setting in a green neighborhood just a short drive away from the city center. Gorgeously styled room, comfortable, original, super spacious and clean. Everyone working at Palin is so nice, welcoming and available. Breakfast included. Exceptional value for money. Just a relaxing and beautiful stay

The property was very comfortable and perfectly adequate for what we needed! Extremely good value for the price. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. Seems like a place where locals stay when they go to Chiang Rai.

Every staff is kind and friendly :) and the breakfast was so goooood !! Highly recommend

Found ants in the rooms. Do not leave sweet things without cover and noisy when it’s festival season in Chiang rai

- spacious rooms - comfortable bed - outside bad on balcony - playground for kids outside

Great value for the money! Really no point to complain for affordable rate.

Very cozy cottage with friendly staff and good looking design

There is no wardrobe in the room, which can be not so convenient for long stays

Everything is spot on, and the breakfast and staff are awesome. I highly recommend this place if you travel to Chiang Rai.

Everything was perfect !
