Our favorite hotel in all of Chiang Mai
This is a fantastic hotel, excellent in every way. We have stayed there at least three times and are never disappointed. The staff are all first-class, from Alex the manager to housekeeping. The fees are very reasonable for the value. We visit Chiang Mai every year, and the Centara is our favorite hotel in all of Chiang Mai.

I have been staying in Centara Riverside every time I come to Chiang Mai for the past 5 years.
The room is spacious with view. The breakfast buffet is tremendous. However, the bathrooms in the room desperately needs upgrade/remodel. Another complaint is long wait for the 5 guest elevators during checkout time, up to 30’minutes wait for a vacant elevator

The rooms are spacious; the staff is attentive and polite. Compared to many hotels in the U.S., this experience is exceptional! They offer daily room cleaning, which we no longer receive in the U.S., warm hospitality, and a beautiful breakfast buffet. Centara is not located in the Night Bazaar, but is not far away, so those looking for that experience would need to take a short tuktuk or songtaew ride. We enjoyed being away from the Night Bazaar noise and busyness. I would recommend Centara to all.

We loved our stay at the hotel. The room was very comfortable and clean. The breakfast and evening buffets were really outstanding in terms of quality and selection. The staff were all so helpful and kind and had obviously been trained extremely well. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone and we found it very good value for money.
