My husband and I spent 6 nights in this hotel and we really loved the cozy feel and welcoming staff. The women at the front desk marked off all of the close by restaurants and attractions on a map for us and were very helpful in booking a tour of the national park. Our room was clean and relatively spacious and very comfortable. The only downside was that the hotel felt a little bit far away from lots of the things we wanted to do and see.

lovely, quiet, cosy hostel. we agreed it was best place we stayed so far! the staff are so helpful and friendly and willing to help any way they can. the rooms (we stayed in 8 & 12) are spacious, beds comfortable, good shower and air con! downstairs is a lovely area to relax too. the wifi did not work for me on my phone in our room but my fiancé had no issues. would stay again, thank you rustic river team for an enjoyable stay and knowing we would have a wonderful place to sleep at night! 🥰 Laura & Aaron

We enjoyed our stay at the Rustic River Hotel. We wanted something a little more quiet and small, and this hotel fit that need perfectly. I was traveling with my family of 6 and they managed to get us three rooms next to each other. The rooms are well kept and clean, and it does have a rustic feel to the place. The staff is helpful for tours or taxis and were very friendly. The breakfast is very light, but we were grateful it was available. If you don't need a lot of frills, consider the Rustic River hotel

We stayed here for 4 nights at the beginning of December and absolutely loved it. We stayed in one of the more basic rooms but it was extremely clean, spacious and comfortable. The breakfast is made to order and delicious - you can have something extremely Thai or go for basic eggs and toast if you'd prefer. We found it a little cheaper than an equivalent hotel in the Old Town and considering it is just a 10 minute walk away if is very much worth it!

So far nice and polite staff but rules they don't explain on the website when you book as for instance, you have no right to wear your shoes after you pass the lobby. Well no big deal... Now ,more important, the water here is not hot but barely warm and that is what really ruined my stay of 2 days here. First, because i ended up in this hotel after riding a bike for 4 hours and a hot shower was welcome after the trip but more important because i got really sick , ended up pinned in bed with high fever for 2 days without being able to take a shower with a staff who give you excuses rather than solution. Not to mention at last, the wifi so unstable in your room that if you stay the all day in your room as i did, you cannot even get an access to your email or your browser... only was stable at the reception area. I will not forget how lovely was the receptionist and how she took care of giving me the right food when i was in pain this morning but that will not be enough for me to come back or to recommend this place.

Responded Dec 10, 2019
Thank you for the feedback and we would like to explain the issue. The guest got fever and want boiling hot water. We have explain the guest about the temperature of water as the guest want the boiling hot water and the machine only operate to certain temperature to limit of temperature but not boiling hot. The wifi is working as normal as we ask the guest to reopen the laptop again after the guest mention about the wifi and it is working just fine as well as on the guest's mobile. It must be the problem with guest computer during login at beginning or bring the device to us so we can help with login wifi. Moreover , we understand that the guest sick but no need to swearing and use "F" word all the time during conversation at the hotel as we try our best to serve you.

This is a an extremely quaint guesthouse, clean and well kept, well decorated with attention to detail. They serve a free breakfast that is made to order from a varied menu and is delicious. However, for us, the selling point was the staff who provided five star service. From assisting us with our luggage up three flights of stairs (no elevator but don’t be put off, the quaint rooms are worth the extra steps!), to heating up food for my sick husband, to helping us order in and providing us with wonderful food recommendations to booking me on a last minute tour when mine got canceled there is nothing that was too big or too small for them. We felt at home from the moment we entered and watched as people got the same lovely service time and time again. The owner was visible in and around the property and is as lovely as his staff. It made leaving bitter sweet for us. We would highly recommend booking a room here without a second thought and with the confidence that you are booking a home away from home.

When we arrived at Rustic River Boutique after a long flight we were warmly greeted but our room would not be avaiable until 4 hours later. Just how it is. Our bags were stored for us and we were told of some local attractions and places to eat. When we arrived back our room was ready and we were helped with our bags upstairs. The rooms are beautiful, comfy, clean and quiet. Breakfast is included in the room rate. Good selection and food was lovely. Ice water is available at al times. Bottles in your room or a dispencer in reception. Lovely central, safe and clean. The young people running Rustic were very friendly and profesional. Would highly recomend Rustic River. But if stairs are a problem it would not be ideal for you.

We stay 2 nights at rustic river boutique and we have a great time here. Receptions speak very good english and give us map for food places around the area during check in. This place is decorated in rustic style with wooden floor and teak furnitures. There are also tour services available at lobby area which is great help for us as we booked a one day elephant tour here.Thank you rustic staffs for great hospitality
