I can say that any time I come to Chiang Rai I'd stay here at the Wangcome Hotel. Many friends ask me why. My simple answer is they have the same respect for me as a valued customer. They don't treat me lowly because I'm a Thai and they have other western or non-Thai clients. No. I always love this reception and the fact that they have been around for a long time, meaning that they have survived all the odds, including the pandemic. In fact, I think I've used their service for a little more than 15 years now, and will still continue going back there. In sum, I love their breakfast buffet, the comfy beds, excellent shower pressure (and hot water--almost instantly), and, most of all, their wonderful service--always in bright smiles and I always get informative answers from the efficient staff.

The decor of the interior may look a bit worn out (but not inside the room). Also, it'd be nice if they have a fitness center (what I did was to walk around the hotel for 1 hour after dinner--and I could get a glimpse of the nearby Jet Yord temple too).

Friendly staff, cleanliness, atmosphere. Hotel is old but very clean, charming! Good location, perfect starting point to explore Chiang Rai on foot. Good value for the money.

Breakfast buffet not available because of off-season (not enough guests), although a la carte breakfast was very good. Payment by card did not work. Airport pickup unavailable.

Location & Service

Shower

Great location. My room was very big and the bed was comfortable. Some people have given the beds bad reviews but they were great for me. I had a great nights sleep. AC good. Bathroom clean and bathtub was very comfortable to lay down in and relax

Make sure you ask for a room that's not facing the bars or restaurants. It's very loud. I asked to switch rooms and they did it with no issue. Breakfast was very basic and not very good but their Thai style coffee is great!

The Wangcome Hotel is always a very nice place to visit, it has a pleasant "Big Hotel" atmosphere with very friendly staff and service. The parking is very spacious, easy to get to and right outside the entrance. They serve a great breakfast selection and the rooms are usually very quiet and roomy with good TV channels.

The rooms are getting a little bit dated now but I find that very attractive ... lots of atmosphere!

The location was great, very close to the bus station and night market. The hotel has a nostalgic vibe, however our room was well maintained and clean. We loved the breakfast. Overall excellent value for money.

The beds were quite hard. We booked a twin room, and ended up with a king sized bed. The bed was so big it didn’t bother us.

Large room that has a central hot water system. Even the faucet has hot water. This is important when the mornings are 10 degrees Celsius. . Wangcome is an older hotel in ChiangRai but still good. It has cable TV like the Golf channel and international news. Plenty of parking.

No safety box in the room. But you can deposit your belongings at the hotel safety box. It can be a bit noisy depending where your room window is. The area has a lot of bars, restaurants, etc. The breakfast should have better coffee.

Location and staff and parking.

I have spinal issues and have had spinal surgery. The beds are too hard, and my spine locks up overnight. The staff did their best, but there aren't really any options. Despite this, I will stay there again mostly due to parking and location. I just have to keep each stay short.

Staff were amazing! We initially booked one night & extended - they facilitated a very easy room change. Also booked transport for us at affordable rates. Location is city centre so handy to markets etc. Family room was bigger than we were expecting.

The building is very old fashioned with beautiful furniture/decor and one of the biggest lobbies I've seen. The room was the same and had a great view of the city. The bathroom had a bath tub so it was great to have a long hot bath. The bed was very soft and comfortable. The hotel is as central as it gets - a two minute walk to the Clock Tower.

Nothing to dislike.
