We stayed at Sofitel Riverside Chiang Mai last month and felt compelled to report it was one of our best hotel expericences in Thailand. I was quite apprehensive staying at this property prior to our arrival due to all the comments submitted by other Tripadvisor members. However, it turned out to be one of the most enjoyable hotel stays we... more

We stayed for 6 nights in March 2008. The room was absolutely fabulous, I recommend the suites. We have stayed in Thailand many times before at numerous destinations and are generally seasoned travellers. We are also familiar with the Sofitel group and know to expect a high standard when staying at the Sofitel. This Sofitel didn't disappoint, well maintained, good... more

It's a very funny story how I ended up at the Sofitel Riverside for my new year's vacation. It started when my family and I were in Chiang Mai at a beautiful resort in the Mae Rim Mountain area (where my aunt is the GM) and we were unexpectedly invited by the owner (Mr. Boonlert) ,a good friend of my... more

I travel around the world in all luxury hotels, but this is one of the best I ever got into. Already by coming into the lobby, the hotel gives you peace and a relaxed feeling. The staff was very friendly and very help full. I wasn't even allowed to open my bottle of water, they felt embaressed when I wanted... more

Our room was very quiet, extremely comfortable with all the facilities we required. It was clean and well maintained. We thought the staff were wonderful people who genuinely loved helping their guests. There is... more

At first glance the Sofitel is gorgeous, must admit that I was impressed with the hotel surroundings and the size of the room, the spacious bathroom with personal water feature. My toddler loved it too, she was ambling everywhere in the room and we particularly liked lazing together on the daybed in the balcony. However, on closer look, the sheen... more

We recommend this hotel for a comfortable stay close to the city. Very friendly staff. Rooms, bathrooms, the riverside location and the spa are superb. The housekeeping service is attentive, at five-star level. We used the spa, fitness facilities, IT-services and poolside restaurant service. The spa is also at five star level. The hotel is pricy but still good value... more

Thankyou for a wonderful stay. The Thai people are among the friendliest in the world and the staff at the Sofitel Chiang Mai are no exception. They always had a big smile & hello. The hotel makes you feel like you are staying in the grounds of a temple, very tranquil & beautifully finished. The rooms were very big, comfortable,... more

We stayed 3 nights in this hotel during our trip in Thailand last November 2007 and we really envoyed this great hotel. The hotel and the rooms have been refreshed and refrunished only 4 months ago so everything looks new, clean and not out of date like some other hotels we stayed in Thailand. Hotel is located on the river,... more
