About
The Chiang Mai Riverside

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited on-site dining options — While there is a restaurant and snack bar, some guests might find the variety limited for longer stays, especially if they prefer dining out.
- No pets allowed — If you're traveling with a furry friend, this hotel won't be suitable, as pets are not permitted.
- Check-in window is strict — Check-in is only available between 14:00 and 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight will need to arrange alternative entry or wait until the next day.
- Value score slightly lower than other categories — While overall value is rated high, the Value score of 9.1 is the lowest among the main categories, suggesting that some guests feel the price is a bit high for what's offered.
