Pai hotellia

Plussat: This is an outstanding property. Our room (#9), was huge. The landscaping and upkeep are top rate. Everyone working there was friendly, helpful and very pleasant. This is one of the top places to stay in Thailand. Pai is not a big town and the free, frequent shuttle is very convenient. It's not cheap, but it's a place you want to be.

Miinukset: Liked it all.

Miinukset: The food in the restaurant was a little disappointing

Plussat: Very quaint

Miinukset: Nothing really we had to check out a day early so would not of minded some discount

Plussat: The place looked like a piece of heaven. It’s was green all over the place and though it’s a resort we always had the feeling that it was private stay.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Such a beautifully decorated place, friendly staff and amazing breakfast. It was one of those places you simply didn't want to say goodbye to

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Rauhallinen ja erittäin lähellä kävelykatua

Miinukset: Yöllä melu kantautui mökkeihin. Huono äänieristys.

Plussat: - Beautiful bamboo bungalows with a quite large terrace in front - the bungalow itself was very small (could barely put down to backpacks). Cozy bed. - Located on the "other", quieter side of Pai - cross the river by small bamboo bridge - Clean bathrooms/toilets

Miinukset: - No mosquito net provided (probably weren't too many mosquitoes anyways as the haze/smoke-situation was out of hand - very thick smog/haze at the time of our stay - don't go there during forest burning season!)

Plussat: The place, near to the center without noises. Bungalows and places was cute.

Plussat: Beautiful sunrise in the hut. Great location close to the town center.

Miinukset: Ant road in the bathroom, but that's not that bad.

Plussat: The place is cozy but too many bugs in the bathroom. Garden is beautiful.

Miinukset: Bugs. shower system.

Plussat: its in quiet area and not too far from the center.

Plussat: The hut was so cute, had own little bathroom. Although no air con, you do not need this at night as it gets chilly. The nice thick duvet is needed and very cosy. Location great, just a short walk into town. Breakfast was fruit and toast, so good for what you pay. All in all, lovely place to stay in Pai.

Miinukset: There are a few mosquitoes in the rooms, as it is a hut they can get in very easily. However, there is a mosquito net for this.

Plussat: EveryThing! Great location, clean, nice property

Plussat: Bath tub and comfy bed

Miinukset: No swimming pool

Plussat: The place is so cozy and peaceful. Staff is super nice and friendly.

Plussat: The bath tub in the garden is an absolute amazing time to relax and so romantic.

Miinukset: No complaints everything was great!

Plussat: Everything fantastic

Plussat: Amazing service, luxurious villa. Complimentary transport to town.

Plussat: What is there to say other than basking in exquisite luxury. Definitely a must for those looking for a peaceful romantic getaway. Our room was a stand-alone cottage with a vaguely Swiss Chalet type of architecture. The bed area was raised, with toilet area off to one side, a step lower, and the "living" area 2 steps lower. The overall effect, although only one room, was of having 3 separate spacious rooms. The living area had a comfortable sofa and a desk off to the side, which was excellent as I was able to use my laptop to catch up on some writing. The TV was of good size but the reception was bad. This was more than compensated, however, by a catalog of DVDs: more than 300 titles, including many which were "family friendly". All you had to do was to write down up to 3 reference numbers, call the front desk, and they were delivered right to your door. Breakfast was on a pre-order basis. We were presented with a checklist that included 4 categories: beverage (coffee/tea + juice), main meal (omelette, bacon and eggs, waffle, rice soup, and a couple of other Thai dishes), toast (white or wheat), and follow-on (yogurt or fresh fruit). The staff also gladly gave me an extra cup of coffee if I asked, all included in the price. The hotel provided a free shuttle to the downtown Pai area which was nice as during the evening, when the night market is in full swing (don't miss it!), it gets very crowded. They even provided a "bubble bath service" (!). All you have to do is to call the front desk, up until 8:30 PM, and a staff member would prepare the outdoors bubble bath for you, water temperature to your specification, with aromatic bath oils. They also lined the bath with candles providing an outrageously romantic setting. The staff were all super friendly, helpful and accommodating.

Miinukset: My wife complained that the Thai breakfast offerings were "not spicy enough" which led me to the conclusion that hotel is more oriented towards foreign guests rather than Thai. My other beef, and I'm sure this is petty, but for the price it seems that the hotel should have provided a swimming pool. Also, of course, the hotel is a bit pricey given the competition in the area.

Plussat: Absoulely memorable experience in Pai. The service from the crew was exellent, very considerate in all area. Room was a bit smaller than we expected but very clean, ant and small gecko (if dont mind) were reminding us that we are living in a natuarl enviorment. Meals provided in hotel were great, full of choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner were also very nice so that we had several times during our 3 nights stay.

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Very nice place beside the Pai river. Despite 1 min from walking street is it a very quite location. Very nice people especially for the children. Tasty breakfast. Family with baby Julie and 4 year old girl Marie

Miinukset: The room and shower were very cold. During the night it gets very cold in Pai during December.

Plussat: Beautiful spot by the river and nice and quiet. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

Miinukset: The toilet smelled of sulfur and my friends and I stayed in a triple and the extra bed was hard as a rock.

Plussat: Location was good, next to river and close to Main Street.

Miinukset: Bathroom was terrible, water barely warm with low pressure, breakfast very average, amenities average. I stayed at a private room in another hostel before at one third the price and honestly that was way better in every aspect.

Plussat: Very peaceful hotel next to the river yet only a 2 minute walk to the centre of town Nice pool

Miinukset: Disappointed that there wasn’t a fridge

Plussat: Very friendly. Clean and comfortable. Nice location. Good food.

Plussat: Great location Very friendly

Miinukset: Not always warm water

Plussat: Location, friendly staff , cleanliness and amazing breakfast

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The location was excellent - in easy walking distance from the bus station and to the night market. Excellent breakfasts made to order and of a generous size with a lovely view of the river and bamboo bridge. Staff where very friendly. Cocktails where reasonably priced and generous in size compared to others in the area. Pai was very cold at night when I was there in mid-January and the staff made sure I knew where the extra blankets and heater was in my room so I'd be prepared. Pool looked lovely but I hadn't brought a costume to swim. They had towels and floaties for guests to use.

Miinukset: The showers didn't have hot water - small geyser providing on the cold side of luke warm even on highest gauge and no pressure at all. Having a cold shower in the morning when it's 8 degrees is not a great start to the day. I'm sure, on a hot day, it wouldn't have been such an issue.

Plussat: Loved everything. No complaints at all.

Miinukset: Leaving ☹️☹️

Plussat: The location is fantastic and almost certainly the main reason why this place gets quite a few high ratings, especially from first-time visitors to Pai who know no better. Right next to the river, walking street and main drag of bars.

Miinukset: My partner and I live in Chiang Mai and have stayed here before, in October 2018, and thought it was average and over-priced then, but as there was a festival on in Pai during our recent visit, and we like to be central, we decided to risk an 'upgrade' to one of the older cottages this time. At £74 per night it wasn't cheap, and we immediately regretted it. There were three people - not guests - lying directly under our balcony and I had to go and ask for them to be moved on. The manager - a British man in his 60s, I would guess - weakly apologised to them and invited them to sit near the pool, despite the fact they weren't guests. It's a very small pool and we decided to give a refreshing post-car-journey dip a miss. The balcony was dirty and the lounger had hair and what looked like bodily fluids on it (see review by Flowerchaser, 14th August 2019). We had to ask for it to be cleaned. When I showered in the evening the water turned ice cold after 3 or 4 minutes... very uncomfortable (see review by Gil, 8th October 2019). There was no shampoo, conditioner or shower gel - not what you expect for £74 per night in Thailand. The Wifi wasn't working when we arrived and although it was briefly fixed it hardly worked during our whole two night stay (see reviews by Melissa on 22nd January 2020 and Toranis on 5th November 2019). In response to the latter complaint about no Wifi connection, the manager wrote: "Just a case of bad timing. The more technically qualified staff have holidays too. Your visit coincided with their annual leave." A pathetic response indicative of his cocky, weak and ineffective management style. I have stayed at another hotel very close to Rim Pai Cottage twice and had no wifi problems at all. Recent reviews on booking.

Plussat: Good breakfast and location was great!

Miinukset: The beds were a bit hard to sleep on

Plussat: Really convenient location to walk the night market. Beautiful view of the river! Nice pool!

Plussat: Beautiful rooms in secluded cottages next to Pai river. Lovely, spacious grounds, with lush tropical foliage. Staff went out of their way to be cordial and helpful. Plenty of on-site parking. Night market right outside the property. The positives well-outweigh the negatives.

Miinukset: Close proximity to loud night market and morning loud speakers from nearby temple. Food is good, but geared to foreign, not local tastes (a negative if looking for authentic Northern Thai flavors).

Plussat: Sijainti hyvä, henkilökunta oli ystävällistä, meidänkin huonettamme vaihdettiin ensimmäisen yön jälkeen, sillä sänky oli aivan surkeassa kunnossa. Ajanjaksolle sattui hyvin kylmiä iltojaa/öitä, lisäpeitteitä tuotiin kun pyydettiin.

Miinukset: Aamupala hotellin hintatasoon nähden surkea, mielstämme hinta-laatusuhde ei kohdannut muutoinkaan. Tähän osaltaan vaikuttanee se, että hotelli joen rannassa (luultavasti nosti hintaa). Tällä hinnalla jonka maksoimme olisimme saaneet parempaa muualta, mutta tyhmyyksissämme varasimme ko. hotellin koko loman ajaksi (8yötä).

Plussat: Location at the bottom of walking street. Lovely balconies to sit out on in the River front rooms.

Miinukset: River front rooms have a fabulous view and brilliant location at the bottom of walking street. Breakfast could be improved for the price but adequate. Lovely swimming pool and gardens.

Plussat: Great space with wonderful staff! Location was right in the main area of the city, walkable to almost everything and the pool view of the river is awesome! They have off street parking for cars and scooters as well.

Plussat: Great location, just out of the centre of Town, beautiful views from our room balcony. Very friendly Staff, good Breakfast.

Miinukset: Can not think of anything

Plussat: Beautiful premises, idyllic. Stunning views of the mountain, the white Buddha and outside rice fields with local farmers attending to their crops. Cherry blossom tree and beautifully nurtured gardens, lovely cactus balcony and amazing breakfrast. Also lovely staff, like a big family. Very queit and peaceful

Miinukset: Hard cushion on bed, no English speaking cable channel (not a big deal) no shampoo or conditioner in bathroom but still nice

Plussat: Me and my boyfriend absolutely loved this place, it’s was very tranquil and chilled out. Breakfast was an amazing and the staff were very helpful, we would definitely recommend and have said we would definitely come back.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The property was out of town in a quiet area with the mountains in the background. The pool was lovely and our ground floor room had a nice little seating area outside.

Miinukset: The breakfast was lacking any good vegan options.

Plussat: We loved everything about this place- rooms, breakfast, bathroom. The staff was nice and helpful and there is a free shuttle bus- on request, that will take you to town and back, whenever you want. The swimming pool area is nice to chill out, though water is cold for swimming.

Plussat: It’s a nice place to be, the pool is nice (cold!) but clean. Staff are very keen to get in and clean your room; they replace towels and bedding every day. Easy 10 min walk into town and there is a shuttle or you can rent a scooter (it’s with Dragon Fly Rentals in town), 200 baht per day. 2000 deposit and a copy of your passport. Quite a decent buffet breakfast.

Miinukset: It was actually quite hard to communicate anything other than the very basics with staff (even that can be difficult) as their English is extremely limited. Whilst I acknowledge that this can sound ethnocentric, these are Thai people in Thailand; however, they’re also working at an hotel that deals with international guests and English is often the common denominator. This made is quite hard to ask even basic things such as: “do you do food?” I asked this one evening and needed to reword it several ways and then gesture.

Plussat: The pool and grounds are absolutely beautiful. Rooms were basic, but nice and comfortable with good bathrooms. Location is good, close to centre of town without being annoyed by noise or traffic.

Plussat: Sijainti hieman syrjässä keskustasta, mutta mopolla pääsee hyvin liikkumaan. Hotellilta myös ilmainen kuljetus keskustaan ja takaisin klo 22 asti. Ympäristö vehreää maalaismaisemaa. Hotelli on siisti, piha viihtyisä ja vehreä. Uima-allasalue kiva. Huone päärakennuksen yläkerrassa oli tilava ja siisti, kaksi parveketta. Aamupala oli ihan perus, mitä Thaimaassa yleensä on tarjolla. Oikein riittävä ja hyvä. Oikein kiva hotelli, suosittelen!

Plussat: They are a very nice family, and very good to us, and our guests! Henry & Siri, (Hang Dong)

Plussat: The pool was very nice The superior bungalow outdoor space was great

Miinukset: The barking owners dogs didn’t do much for the dinner atmosphere The beds were very hard

Plussat: Water temperature was good and we had a nice view of the pool

Miinukset: There was no free shuttle as it says on the profile. Dogs owned by the property were obnoxious and barked as guests went past

Plussat: Nice bungalow, good size, clean and modern. Nice pool and grounds. Short walk away from town centre means that it is quiet. Rooms are away from main road so are extra quiet.

Miinukset: Staff at reception a little impolite and not overly helpful. The owners have large dogs that bark loudly as you walk by (they are fenced in though) The bathroom had some plumbing issue, needing to flush toilet twice and the water from the sink runs across the floor and not down it’s own drain. Theses were only minor issues and overall a very pleasant stay and would recommend.

Plussat: Location close to walking street,bed is comfortable

Miinukset: Cold shower ,no breakfast and room is too small

Plussat: I did not eat breakfast there, although it was available. I have stayed here many years, and the hosts are kind, and it is an excellent place for friends to gather on a trip to Pai. Nearby, there is a roadside bar, Thai style, a small eatery, just meters from the (hospital); not that you would it! Comfortable, budget friendly, with a small (cooling) pool. Lot's of trees. Close to (Walking Street), too.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: I liked the surroundings and pool. It was very chill and not far from centre

Miinukset: The WiFi didn’t work at all which made it really hard to book our upcoming trip and contact family/ friends. TV didn’t work. The villa was very tired and didn’t feel extremely clean like shown in pictures

Plussat: The size of the room.

Miinukset: The fact that the website says free bicycle for use as well as restaurant and bar facilities. The only bar was a fridge in reception and no restaurant available at night. The bathroom was very old and dirty.

Plussat: Nice swimming pool and hotspring pool. Nice vieuws over the river from the hut and the open-airrestaurant.

Miinukset: The power failed daily. The emergency-generator was working, but only little power for some lights, but no airco.... About 10 km. from Pai-town so take your own wheels for transport.

Plussat: Todella kivalla paikalla ja mukavan rauhallista. Uima-allas on rauhallinen ja pieni, mutta erittäin kiva tuulettua kun ulkona on 36 astetta lämpöä. Henkilökunta on auttavaista ja iloista. Saa tilattua ruokaa suoraan vaikka uima-altaalle, vaikkakin ruoka ei kovin erikoista olekkaan.

Plussat: The location is peaceful and beautiful mountain views

Miinukset: None

Plussat: The location is good if you have your own wheels and the view from the property is fantastic. There are plenty of space to chill in the garden (hammocks, etc). The staff is super nice and you can also order food from several places.

Miinukset: The bed matress was really uncomfortable, you can feel all the springs and it’s very loud of you make any small movement on the bed. There were also a LOT of ants in the bathroom - part of it dead and partly pouring from the space between the tiles and the wall. The water heater could not really heat up the water.

Plussat: Location is amazing ! Calm and paecefull, amazing sights. You can rent a motorcycle by the resort. Service was perfect. BEST STAY IN PAI !

Miinukset: Shower is a bit basic, but still all right !

Plussat: I liked the location and natural country views and setting. Lots of lounging areas to choose from. Bed was comfortable. The fridge was nice to have.

Miinukset: On my 3rd day ants started walking around on wall in bathroom but I was leaving that morning so didn't bother me very much but if I were staying longer I'm sure i could have asked staff to do a cleanup.

Plussat: This is the most perfect, little resort -I did not want to leave! The location is slightly outside of the town (about 10/15 minutes walk) so it's very quiet at night! They offer a free pickup from the bus station, free coffee and fruit throughout the day and rent scooters for 120 bahts a day. The staff are incredibly friendly. The resort itself is amazing. The huts are quirky -bright yellow inside, and such a comfortable bed! The highlight, for us, was being able to walk up to the roof of the hut. There's two chair/ beds up there, so we brought books and strawberries then watched the sunset. They even have a lamp up there! The pool is beautiful, and much deeper than it looks. I didn't use it in the morning but by the late afternoon it was very warm. It's another great place to watch the sun set from. Overall, it's an incredibly beautiful, peaceful and friendly resort. I would recommend getting a bike as although it's a short walk to the town, it is quite a steep hill, and can be a tiring journey in the sun. A bike also allows you to explore the stunning surrounding area. It's the perfect place to relax. It's worth a trip up to Pai just to stay here! Beautiful, beautiful place!

Miinukset: It's flawless! 100% stay here if you're in Pai!

Plussat: Given the recent covid19 situation we had to shorten our stay there. The management were very understanding and refunded us the difference. This place is in a lovely location with cute little villas that stay cool In the heat and with lovely garden and mountain views.

Miinukset: Nothing, this place is charming and we would come back

Plussat: i love the peaceful garden and the bungalows are very comfortable, light, clean . The family who own it are super friendly and kind.

Plussat: The staff are really friendly and helpfull. They'll bring you to the walking street if you want. Next to the hotel is a yoga place in case you're interested in yoga.

Miinukset: There were ants everywhere in the room. Also the matress of the bed felt like sleeping on the floor, not nice.

Plussat: The 2 rooms apartment was good for our Family of 5. The staff were friendly and tried to understand our requests and needs.

Miinukset: Breakfast. And a bit far from the center, there tuk-tuk service is comfortable but only to the beginning of the Main Street.

Plussat: Loved the decorations of the rooms in this colourful fun hotel. Very comfy beds and powerful shower. Nice areas to chill in the gardens. The hotel is a little out of the main town but they arrange a free drop off and pick when pretty much whenever you want before 10 which was very useful! Staff were also lovely!

Miinukset: Would be good if the hotel sold beer and other drinks/snacks but other than that nothing.

Plussat: Very nice decor, nice surrounding scenery. Quiet at night

Miinukset: It's outside the town of Pai so if you want to party in town this isn't the place for you. They'll take you into town and back until 10 pm though.

Plussat: Amazing!!!! We had such a great time!! The resort is beautiful in the middle of rice fields, and yet close enough to the town center, so you can either walk 15min, or take their transit which is free, works all day and you can ask for it when ever you want (until 22pm). Also The room was comfortable, clean and well decorated, the water were hot. There was also a nice pool, and a nice sitting area with hammocks. The whole resort was well maintained. Also the yoga class was really good!! And the owners were so nice and helpfull!

Miinukset: Nothing!!

Plussat: The hotel was one of the most cleanest we saw around our trip in Thailand, so we felt really comfortable the moment we entered. All day/night long you can have free water, coffee and tea plus toast and bananas on a table thats inside the urbanization. The situation of the guesthouse was just perfect, cause it is really close to the walking street/night market, but anyway really quiet at night time, so you will find a good rest. The family whih owned the guesthouse are super friendly and helpful!!!

Plussat: It is close to the walking street but still quiet at night, which is good for a alone Traveller. The room was clean. The owner are really nice. They also let me print some documents.

Plussat: Great place to stay. Close to everything and very helpful staff

Plussat: Great location with friendly staff and clean nice room.

Miinukset: Bed was a little hard

Plussat: Brilliant location just off of the main strip, quiet and there rooms were decent! If you get an air conditioned room you get a balcony with a nice view of the hills. If you get a fan room, it’s a cosy spot around the back!

Miinukset: Beds were a bit hard, bathroom was a wet room.

Plussat: Friendly staff. Only stayed 1 night, so can’t comment allot

Plussat: Convenient to center / friendly hosts.

Miinukset: Price primarily based on Pai location and not value for money. Can find a better deal in Bangkok for same price.

Plussat: The place was very clean. Location is perfect - 5-10 minutes walk to Pai night market with loooooot of great food

Plussat: It was a really short distance (5minute walk) from the bus station to the hostel, they had plug sockets and had a nice little cafe at the front! We loved our balcony to see the beautiful views!

Miinukset: There was nothing we didn’t particularly like about the hotel.

Plussat: Quiet, beautiful scenery. Spacious rooms.

Miinukset: Needs maintenance - the pool had tiles missing, the bathtub needed a good scrub, the paint was peeling. No English channels on the tv.

Plussat: Close to town but has a quiet country feel. Good shuttle service. We enjoyed the pools

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Air conditioning only seemed to have a cooling function which wasn’t a help to the nights which are freezing in Pai. Spent both my nights freezing in bed. Location was close to the airport but far from the town, you’ll need to have a scooter to get around - with a scooter everything is close (took me 2 minutes to drive from town centre to the resort)

Plussat: Service was excellent.

Miinukset: Shower could be improved.

Plussat: They were happy to give us late checkout and staff ultra helpful.

Plussat: Great value for money, started in a pool side suit which had a secluded balcony on to a very clean pool. We had sun on the balcony from early morning until about 2pm which made a nice relaxing pool day possible.

Miinukset: Location was 20 minutes walk from the town centre which was nice because it was quiet and the hotel offered a shuttle bus to the town and back. However, this bus stopped at 10pm and the town has no taxis so had to walk back each night. Although the town and walk felt very safe.

Plussat: Front desk staffs are friendly n there's free wifi n 1 desktop with free Internet for use but only at the front desk area.

Miinukset: Wifi shld be available thruout resort. Shldnt be too exp to do that. Swimming pool shld be in a usable condition.
