Top Chiang Rai Hotel Reviews

Nak Nakara Hotel

Nak Nakara Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely loved our stay here. Great facilities- we used the fitness room which was excellent and drinks & dinner by the pool in the evening was lovely. The room was great - extremely comfortable with every amenity we could want. Loved the daily towel sculptures on the bed - those little personal touches really added to our whole experience. The hotel itself is a lovely building- quite a colonial feel- and very well maintained as well as a great location. The staff were awesome. Very friendly, welcoming and helpful- a real asset to the hotel. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would love to stay here again."
