The place had a real historic charm with beautiful woodwork in the large lobby. The pool was large and clean. The room was nice, The staff were friendly and helpful and breakfast was good and plentiful. It was a buffet with mostly Thai food but they had toast, coffee, eggs and fruit. They rented me a bike to explore the old town to see the Teak mansions and gave a useful map. There was a restaurant cross the street to eat and drink. It was less than five minutes walk to the bus station and a 10 minute bike ride to the old town center.

The hotel has ample parking without awkward maneuvering and one friendly, helpful and perfectly anglophone afternoon receptionist. The other receptionists are friendly and polite, but less anglophone. When booking online, i made two special requests. I immediately got a reply in smooth English that they noted my request – and both requests were perfectly honored upon check-in, that’s great. Other hotels never reply and might not honor your request. The laundry was returned within 8 hours or so and halfway affordable. My standard room (not deluxe) on the fifth floor was large, quiet, comfortable and with good daylight. I missed a water kettle (only in deluxe), but you get boiling water at reception.

The shower is within a bathtub, which is dangerous, and the hot water is sometimes not very hot and always a wild river. When you go out with the key, the room has no more electricity, so you can’t charge devices or do long up- and downloads. The hotel wifi was the slowest i ever had in Thailand, and sometimes no connection was possible; this is awkward if you use a laptop (i know the workarounds). It was December and i never tried aircon nor TV. The hotel location is not ideal for a Phrae tourist. It is not in the „wooden heart“ of Phrae, near the famous temples and wooden mansions, even though it is also not way far out and the big road next door can also be convenient, depending on your needs. Grab motorcycle taxis can often be had in daylight hours, but rarely in the dark.

The beds were comfortable. Good size room. Staff very helpful. Not Buffet breakfast as advertised but American Breakfast was ok.

Had a step into the bath to have a shower and being part disabled I could not step in.

The pool is the big bonus here. It's a good size and was quiet during my visit. Rooms are well equipped with very comfortable beds. If you are arriving by bus it's only a few minutes walk from the bus station.

Breakfast was excellent. You could choose from the menu. The pool was clean. It was super close to the bus station. The staff was flexible as well.

The Wifi was a bit too slow.

Wonderful pool, kind attentive staff, and very clean. We asked for a vegetarian breakfast with eggs and it was perfect. I am impressed and would stay in this grand hotel again.

Hotel is big by local standards, aged look but rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. Breakfast choice of local or western was good and adequate. Bus terminal is just a couple of hundred meters away.

Wifi signal was weak occasionally.
