4 Stars Hotels in Mae Hong Son Province, Thailand

The hotel is located slightly out of the town centre… 10-12 min on foot, might be a bit tricky if you don’t drive. The management photos certainly don’t represent the true state of things, incl. swimming pool area and the actual rooms. The room itself was spacious enough and functional, however there’re certain things that took us by surprise to say the least. First of all, there’s no proper bathroom, instead there’re two microscopic spaces designated on a side (shower room & toilet) + sink located inside the room! Pillows super hard and difficult to sleep on, no hot water while taking shower only lukewarm at best. Next, the walls were full of various stains & marks, the bulkhead area (where the air-com unit was located) was all damp with plaster hanging in places, ready to peel off anytime. The space designed for the luggage was inadequate hence its wasn’t possible to spread anything down there which was a shame. Finally, for some unknown reason, on the terrace there’re no chairs or tables which again turned out to be a wasted space… On a positive note, the reception staff was very helpful and positive at all times. We liked the area around swimming pool since there’re not many people hanging around at the time. Air con worked well, so did the mini fridge & safe box. Strong wifi signal across the room and decent size TV. After we checked out, I asked if we’d use their luggage storage for 24 hrs and they happily agreed. Overall, there’s plenty to be improved in this type of hotel, in particular those few practical / aesthetic issues. I can’t say we didn’t enjoy our stay, however some of the things that I mentioned bothered us quite a bit and should have been resolved differently. I hope the management can take a closer look and address those matters in near future.

We had a wonderful relaxing time at the Quarter Pai. We had two rooms with a shared balcony for our family - two adults and two children. The rooms were spacious and tastefully decorated and the cleaning was effective. The hotel staff were helpful - for example using the pool net to rescue a small ball that nearly got lost under the low balcony outside our room. The pool was great for the kids and we spent lots of time playing in it. There are very shallow sections at one end for younger children. The reception staff were helpful and attentive, though sometimes google translate came in handy. The hotel is a a short walk out of town (5-10 minutes from the start of the main 'walking street') and the hotel runs a shuttle which is helpful on very hot days or in the rain. There was a lot of work going on at the hotel when we were there to spruce it up after the quieter times that all of the hotels in this area have experienced. Pai itself is lovely. There are tons of lovely small cafes and little shops. Lots of activities nearby. And it's easy to get to with a 3-4 hour bus journey from Chiang Mai. The hotel breakfast was good.

Lovely hotel, perfect walking distance from Pai centre. Free shuttle also offered. Breakfast is fresh and delicious. Big mugs for coffee, large bowls for cereal. Eggs made to order. Loved the finishing touches, robes, local soaps and herbal washes. Room is perfect, views to die for. Absolute value for money, would certainly book every time. My baby catered for with extra water, towels and a huge comfy cot.

The photos of the indoor courtyard are not up-to-date, a kind of house was built as a breakfast room, thereby 8 rooms are almost without light, the terrace is bordered to the breakfast room and you must always keep the closed views of the hangs closed. As soon as breakfast begins, you don't sleep anymore. The pool is not cleaned! On the day the swimming pool is running pump, which is so noisy that a conversation does not go, this stands directly at the breakfast room and window of the rooms. The hotel is not worth the money! I wouldn't stay here anymore! Otherwise the rooms in other areas of the hotel would be OK.

Village hut style rooms are compact and non sound proof so your neighbor does hear u rocking the bed or squelchy floorboard while u walk around. 3 car lot just at front of hotel along a busy street that turn into a night market infused with scooters for rental and bars. Seconds away from street food. Lovely frog sounds while u sleep. Muzzie coil are provided daily. Simple breakfast menu and not bad chargrill steak at night. Housekeeping does provide random gift/staff every evening.

The villa is beautiful, though the walk from the check in to the villa is far (we got the river view) so not for those handicap people to lug bags around. The spa pool in the room are not cleaned, so it's a waste of one of the best features. The entrance is hard to find so try not to go at night, one 1 staff working that I saw for check in, the walk to the villa is also quite dark. TIPS: Quite alot of insect, so bring your own insecticide if you hate bugs. They have a hot spa pool though, bring your swim suit.

The room was good. The second-floor sky room we lived in had relatively few mosquitoes and had a balcony, but it was blocked by a tree and the scenery in the distance could not be seen. The toilet is super big and it's a bit scary to be empty. The breakfast is delicious, and there are quite a few types. The waiter serves very well.

If Maehongson has a 'grand dame' of a hotel, this is it. It's the largest hotel and in theory the one local hotel that can offer full service options - catering for meeting and banquets/ receptions that are often held here by government officials. It arguably has the most beautiful and largest large pool in MHS, overshadowed by tall teak trees - very peaceful to swim in and/or just look out at from your poolside room. Rooms are large with comfortable sitting areas - AND as others have commented, they feel dated and somewhat worn - but they are clean and quiet, each with a decent sized balcony and I believe most rooms have a bathtub! Plenty of hot water and good water pressure. Most surprising to me was that the wifi was strong and worked great the entire stay. I did not expect this. I appreciate the wood floors and furnishings throughout the hotel. I was given an early check in which was so appreciated. A basic buffet was available the first day with made to order eggs as well as fruit, cereals and Thai options. On my 2nd day, the buffet options disappeared and it was just made to order eggs and cereal/toast/fruit/coffee and tea - apparently the buffet only happens if there are over 30 guests and this being the green season, numbers are down. Staff were helpful and friendly and there is an onsite massage available. The hotel is just outside of town so not really walkable into town - but if you have your own transport, this is a great option. And it is a great option if you just need a peaceful break from a mostly full service hotel with a beautiful pool. Long stay rates are also available beginning at 9000 baht  a month currently. 

Arguably one of the best hostels we’ve ever stayed in worldwide! Location is excellent, only 5 min walk to the main street including night market. Beds are comfortable, and dorm beds are equipped with curtain, shelf, huge locker storage, plug sockets conveniently placed and two lights above your bed. Wi-Fi works absolutely brilliantly throughout the entire hostel including in the room. Pool is spotlessly clean and there were always enough sun beds. Staff are very friendly and helpful, and can assist with booking tours (e.g tubing) and buses to Chiang Mai. We didn’t eat the food but it looked fantastic and affordable. Overall, perfect place to stay in Pai!

Suggest to take the balcony room to enjoy the ambience by the small stream running pass by. It s so good sitting at balcony. The property is very clean and well maintained. Staffs are friendly and polite. Breakfast is a la cart but served as much as you want, which is good. The only pitfall staying would be the noise from the pub nearby. I was staying at the end of the property upstairs , still heard the music clearly. But that was friday night. Not sure whether the music would be this loud on weekdays.

After a long period of epidemic, I finally came back and stayed at my beloved hotel again. I love the environment, scenery, and food as much as ever, so much so that I dragged my friends to stay in the hotel for 24 hours. When I went out, I felt that I didn't want to book a room here.

Friendly welcome, upgraded to swim up room which I would highly recommend. Small issue with payment which was promptly rectified, room was amazing with a very comfortable bed. Complimentary snacks and sodas with excellent bathroom amenities. Location cannot be beaten right on the corner of walking street. Pai has a very relaxed vibe and this hotel continues that theme. Would highly recommend

Sang Poy is simply superb…graceful, peaceful, beautiful… Sang Poy Cottage is everything that is evocative of Thailand and more! A place that has been built from recycled Teak in the traditional Thai style and decorated with a great deal of thought and soul. I loved the attention to detail, and there were many… the handmade floor tiles… the timber fretwork above the shower, the beautiful timber flooring on the verandahs. Modern amenities, a very comfortable huge bed, great shower,complimentary toiletries, bottled water, fluffy towels, well appointed room, sliding glass doors out on to a private quite big verandah to sit and enjoy the views. A hairdryer and a straightener which is not often seen in hotels. Breakfast and dinner are served on a huge verandah overlooking picture post card views across the fields and the mountains beyond. Wonderful breakfast, both western and Thai. Parking is available if you are driving. A garden to sit in to read or just soak in the views. The owner speaks English both she and her staff were absolutely fantastic, helpful and wonderful... I was given a great map of the area with all the things to see and do. A wonderful, kind and helpful owner who speaks excellent English. A fabulous restaurant on site with the best breakfasts I have had all over Thailand! excellent beautiful staff… thank you!

Absolutely amazing experience here. I was doing the Mae Hong Son loop on my bike. I unfortunately had my bike battery die and the manager found someone to get me up and running again. Labasse was incredibly welcoming when I arrived too. He asked me if I was tired from my drive and gave me a complimentary iced tea upon checking in. Mai Sariang, this is the place to go when staying in town.
