The hotel is value for money. Clean and tidy rooms. I was in a double bed room with a co-joined 2 single beds room. Perfect for family. Staff were very helpful with an on arrival last minute room request.

Acceptable for one night. You need a car to get to the hotel. The rooms are not soundproof. Quite loud from the traffic. The hotel is located directly on the main street. The breakfast is not bad and with good coffee to make yourself with a coffee machine.

The shower head was to 50% clogged, and the water was deflected sideways splashing all over. This was the case in both the rooms I had booked! The TV remote control did not work, as the batteries inside were corroded and bloated badly.

Chiang Saen was the first city in Thailand and some of the old walls remain. Scattered all around are the remains of old temples which are mostly marked with information boards. There are basic bicycles provided free to cycle around the town and the ruins. It is not a busy place and the cycling is safe. The Mokong River forms one border of the city and is also forms the border between Laos and Thailand. It is a major waterway and the activities going on are interesting to watch. The city has a relaxed atmosphere and the people quite friendly to visitors. Lots of coffee shops and a few restaurants. The Golden Triangle is a few km away by road and a little further is the hall of Opium museum which is well done and more interesting than perhaps the name suggests. About 7km away is Chaing Saen lake, a site for bird watching and with small villages to drive/cycle through. Probably 2/3 days is enough time to experience Chiang Saen but it is nice and relaxing and you may enjoy visiting more than once.

The hotel is located outside the center of the town near the wall. We chose it so that it would be quiet. The rooms are fine with hot water and air conditioning. Breakfast was fine. Price is also good for what we got. We had food at a restaurant recommended by the hotel and that was a good choice. We wanted to visit the wall, wat Phra That Chedi Luang and Chiang Saen National museum. They were worth the visit.
