My partner and I stayed 7 nights at Rustic River Boutique and it became our little home away from home! The girls were so lovely and always helpful. Delicious coffee and tea downstairs from the cafe at the hotel and a gorgeous common area to chill out or do some work. The location was perfect for us and spoilt for choice with local restaurants (highly recommend Ivy). Everything was walkable also or just a short grab.

Best value for such a low price. Very clean. Staff is very accommodating. Used their laundry service and had it ready earlier than usual so we could catch a flight. Rent a scooter through them. Made it very convenient. Spent one night there and booked it for another night days later when we had to spend an unscheduled extra night in town.

Amazing hotel with friendly staff

Super Nice and friendly staff, that always would be there with a Helping hand. Only little tiny downside was that the aircon didnt function properly, so the room was Got very hot (even though we are in february). The hotel is around 15 min walk from east gate, so not so many turists. We would def. Recommend it and Will return ❤️❤️🧘‍♀️

Hidden Gem!

I was surprisingly pleased at my choice. I relied on the reviews to choose and am happy with my decision. Mai, the manager, is an absolute sweetheart. Goes way out of her way to assist. The place was very clean and the property in very good shape and modernization. Streets a bit noisy, especially in the day, but in the back m, I didn’t hear street noise. View wasn’t much but it was walking dish to everything. I’d chose it again.

Absolutely loved my stay at Rustic River Boutique. Such a charming little place with lovely boutique touches and zero pretentiousness.

The room was spotlessly clean, the towels were very soft and the choice of breakfast which is included, was the perfect way to start my day.

What impressed me most about this hotel were the staff, I was always greeted with a smile, asked about my day, they provide a custom made map of the local area which not only highlights good food spots but it gives a little description to help you decide on where to eat.

It's the little touches that can make a stay perfectly easy and relaxing, Rustic River Boutique Hotel do all the little things correctly.

I would highly recommend you stay here and next time I'm in Chiang Mai, I will definitely staying here again.

Good price but nothing special

Rustic river was so-so. It was a room for us and that’s it. Service was nothing special and there was an odor that filtered throughout the hotel. Location is good as it is easy to walk to a bunch of places we wanted to stay. If you’re looking for a place that will go the extra mile, this is not it, but if you’re looking for a place that will hold your luggage and for you to crash, then it’s a good price.

Not too bad for the price.

The room was large. For the price it's not a bad deal, however a few things which could improve, the shower was so incredibly weak.
Road facing rooms can be noisy due to traffic. Room is a bit dated, could do with a new paint and a bit of updating.

I got a room at the ground level of the hotel and it was super small with a window looking out on a wall. Upgrade to a room on the upper level, way better!
Also this room doesn't have a decent lock (no one in the hotel).
After a couple of days I felt like I got some attitude of the staff and I have no idea why.
The breakfast is great!

Not sure if I would come back here.

REASONABLE NICE PLACE TO STAY

I got to know of Rustic River Boutique while booking through expedia. I always liked rustic woody furnishing so the Hotel naturally attracted me.
The lobby is cozy and the rooms are clean and clean. We had very good sleep throughout our 4 nights. Rooms cleaned every day, towels are changed and bed are tidied up daily too. Breakfast is simple but tasty . You choose 1 breakfast from the menu given. There is hair dryer in the room and iron provided if needed

The location is great. 20 mins drive to and fro to airport, 10 mins drive to Central Festival Mall (highly recommend to eat and shop there). 10 mins drive to PLOEN RUEDEE NIGHT MARKET and conveniently located to many other places.

The only setback was the shower area where I feel the tiles needed to be replaced or overlaid as it looks badly stained. And the lobby bathroom area as a very dam smell that is unpleasant.

Other than that its a hotel I would high recommend for the price we paid

Get more than you pay for

Rustic River was the perfect choice for staying in Chiang Mai under a tight budget. I definitely got a lot more than I expected considering the price. Breakfast is made fresh to order every morning. The staff is very friendly and will gladly assist with any events or trips you want to schedule. The only drawbacks are no elevator and appro 10 min walk to main shopping bazaars. 4th floor with luggage is no fun. Outside of that I would highly recommend staying here.

Worth a try

Nice.little.hotel very near to the riverside area for.bars and restaurants. Room was nice and as per pictures however id recommend a room at the rear as room.8.which we were.in is on front of hotel and subject to relentless traffic noise day and to a lesser.extent over night too which was disappointing.

Staff were great, breakfast was a set menu and nice enough. No self service.food.buffet available at all just tea and coffee.

There are many options in chiang mai so competition is ripe.and i.have stayed in better.for places for.less money.

Enjoyed the small, local feel of Rustic River. A quieter location near Wororot Market and the river but only a short 15 minute walk to the old city. The service was friendly and helpful and we enjoyed their homely breakfasts (Thai or western).

Wonderful, inexpensive hotel in Chiangmai. Rooms are very clean and well air-conditioned. May seem a bit out of the way on the map, but about 10 minutes to the Thapae gate and very quiet at night. The included breakfast was awesome - you get to choose from a menu every morning, and they serve you your meal with juice and fresh fruit. The lobby has free filtered water, so you can bring a reusable water bottle. The front desk staff were super knowledgeable - we booked tickets to Pai through them and asked suggestions for things to do, which they were able to provide. Overall, great place to stay in Chiangmai, especially for the price!

Great stay!

Very friendly/helpful staff. The taller female and male staff were so kind! They were very helpful with recommending things to do, etc. The location is good - if you're okay with walking. The hotel was about a 15-20 minute walk from the Night Bazar and lots of places to eat within walking distance.

good location but room not great

good hotel option in fairly convenient (though not central) location.
breakfast was good (though lots of noise from street since located on busy road and dining area open to street) and staff very nice and helpful.
room was ok but not brilliant and located on ground floor with window facing a brick wall 3 feet away. Ok for a short stay and would insist on better room!

Great Stay!

The staff were very friendly, very helpful... a very homey feeling. Breakfasts were great, lots of choice, both western and Thai. Rooms are large and very comfortable. Location is very good for the walled city, close to the Night Bazaar and Sunday Night market-overall very good place to stay in Chiang Mai

Very nice place to stay. 😄

I stayed for 2 nights. It was a very good experience. Great stuff, good location, nice room. I had a chance to meet the owner of the place. He is a brilliant young gentleman who also works at the Hotel fixing things when necessary. He told me that he personally worked on renovating the building and converting it to the small, rustic hotel. Way to go!!

Nice friendly find and good value stay.

This was a very nice place with super friendly staff. It was close to to China Town, the old city and the river. The rooms were spacious and clean with some comfortable facilities. Value for money was excellent.
There were only two negatives for me, as follows;
The rooms lock with a padlock, because this is a very hard thing to do in a silent way, other guests can wake you up in the night (including us to others). Breakfast can be a little sparse.
However, a nice stay overall.

Nice hotel with great location

Great experience! The staff were pleasant and were always there to help me in terms of direction and calling tutu. The location is convenient which is in between the old city and Ping river. A good walking trip for me! The room was clean and cozy.

This was a great find. We had a nice soft bed! Everyone was very pleasant and helpful. The breakfast choices were great. It would be nice to include a coffee from the coffee bar because the breakfast includes instant coffee only. But an American is only 50 Bhat to purchase,

Management thoughtful

The hotel initially failed to imphtful map supplied forress with request/demand straight up for a key deposit of 500baht. If you had come straight from the plane this could be a major problem. However on further acquaintance the thoughtful map supplied so you taxi could find your hotel a mud map of local restaurants and a guide to prices showed a thoughtful mind to those new in town. Overall a first rate experience.

Not recommended

I don't really recommend this hotel. It's more of a hostel, the room is tiny and there's not much to offer. Breakfast is free but you will have to pay for even an extra slice of toast. I stayed on the ground floor and was woken up every morning at 5am by the staff who prepare breakfast etc. Travellers on a budget should spend $10-15/night more and get a very nice hotel such as Thapae Loft.

Cutest hotel

We loved this hotel. Adorable design, very clean rooms, excellent and accommodating staff, great laundry service and location is KEY. Also we were able to book day trips (i.e., thai cooking lessons which i also highly reccommend, spa services, etc.) through the staff as well. Plus, they serve an amazing free breakfast in the morning and great coffee. Would not have wanted to stay anywhere else. Only downside was the mattress was hard as a rock and the room was either too hot or too cold (which could be due to operator error LOL) but otherwise, this hotel was perfect!

Rustic by name, rustic by nature

we arrived very early morning and the room wasnt ready which wasnt a problem, we left our bags and headed into the local area. We stayed on the ground floor for 1 night and then we returned after spending a night in the elephant sanctuary, we left our main luggage with them too whilst we were away and then had a room on the top floor. No lifts which is downside and no-one to assist with luggage. Having said that, staff were all very friendly and polite and as others have said, breakfast is cooked fresh and coffee is nice too. There isnt a huge amount going on, on the street this is on which is great but the river is a ten minute walk and into the main centre square is avout 20 mins walk. we stayed uring the water festival and was a great spot. would stay again, it was a no frills experience but pleasant enough to revisit
