We arrived in Phayao tired after a day of traveling (June 22, 2022) and were having trouble finding affordable accommodation and ended up here as it was the cheapest available. Well, we got what we paid for. I found the reception staff rude and when we got to our room it felt and smelled like the room was sealed for the last couple years. The smell of staleness and mold was terrible, there was mold on the walls and dead bugs on the bathroom floor. Maybe we were simply the first people in the room after covid but that was our experience. The place has a lot of potential and it wasn’t all bad. The bedding was clean and shower was nice, the cleaning staff were pleasant and we were able to park our scooters in their parkade.
This is not about the hotel but the rooftop hotel restaurant. The food was all perfectly cooked, courteously served and the prices very fair. My wife had the spareribs - to honest some of the best I have ever eaten. I took the pork chop, European style, with mixed vegetables - once again, very good. next time we visit Phayao this restaurant will certainly be on our to do list.
