Stayed here for 3 nights and would say it is a very nice hotel by the river. Rooms are spacious, the pools and grounds are beautiful. Staff on the front desk were great and couldn't be more helpfull. The downsides: breakfast is not good and we had a lunch and evening meal there which was OK.

There is not much to fault in this hotel, but it lacks atmosphere and character, in spite of the ornate architecture and attractive Moroccan decor. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and the shuttle bus service [which was adequate but not that frequent] helped overcome the distance from the old city. I actually cycled very comfortably from the hotel to the old city wall and discovered that it is not so far. But because the environs of the hotel are not very welcoming the hotel feels like it is further out than it actually is. The room was spotlessly clean, and well-desgined. The swimming pool is not really suitable for adults. I would not stay here again, but that is based on personal choice rather than on anything specifically against the hotel.

We stayed 8 nights at this hotel and enjoyed every moment there. It was low season so we were treated like royalty, the staff are all very beautiful, helpful people. We got a great deal from Agoda. Food in restaurant was excellent. The hotel is beautifully decorated and the rooms are spacious, with king size, comfortable beds. It was only 15minutes by Tuk Tuk or Taxi to the main walking streets, take note you cannot walk from the hotel as there are no footpaths which is standard in the outer suburbs of Chang Mai.

Room tip: We were on level 3, so had great views of the river and didn't need the lift. Level 3 or 4 would be the best options.

Stayed here for 3 nights in the beginning of august .It probably was low season as there were hardly any other guests here. Great deal from Agoda. Hotel is beautiful. Nice rooms and bathrooms. Only given one key Card which had to be in the slot for electrics to work,so if you left the room for a short while all electrics and aircon are reset. Cant keep your laptop/mobile charging. Also the Aircon seemed to have only one speed, fast, could be a bit annoying. Rooms were nice and clean and a fitting decor for the hotels theme. Pool area was also nice and the pool was clean.They had two pools, and the smaller pool is near the restaurant (Marakech) and seemed abandoned.The gymnasium was well equipped and beside the main pool. The bathroom and steam room by the gym were not as well cared for as the rest of the hotel.
The restaurant,Marakech was set out nicely by the river. We only had breakfast there and it was bordering on adequate. Service, although friendly was not of a good standard. Definite room for improvement which I'm sure they will work on.
The staff were very pleasant, friendly and willing to please although we did have communication problems at times.
The area around the hotel also has a couple of good restaurants and bars.
The hotel provides transportation into town and to the night bazzar free of cost. You may also organize a taxi through the hotel if their timing does not suit you. They also have a airport pickup and drop of for B200.
All in all a great stay and would recommend it to people who are looking for a quieter getaway
