About HOTEL SELENE CHIANG RAI
Situated on Soi Taviphan in Chiang Rai's central Wiang district, Hotel Selene is a modern property that consistently earns praise for its combination of space, comfort, and value. Guests regularly highlight the generously sized rooms and bathrooms, the well-maintained swimming pool, and a breakfast spread that more than meets expectations. The hotel's relatively new condition is apparent throughout, with a clean, contemporary feel that appeals to both couples and independent travelers exploring northern Thailand.
The staff receive particular attention in visitor feedback, noted for being attentive, friendly, and efficient at check-in and check-out. Pool access rooms on upper floors offer an especially comfortable base, with large beds and good natural light. The location sits approximately a ten-minute walk from Chiang Rai's city center, striking a practical balance between a quieter setting and easy access to the night markets, temples, and local dining the city is known for.

Reviews from Google
A lovely hotel in Chiang Rai for 3 nights. This was the best hotel for price/ luxury we stayed in Thailand on our month trip. Staff was super friendly. Rooms are very spacious and clean, with a very comfy bed. Only thing we noticed was the slow shower drainage. The location is slightly out of town, 15 minute walk along busy roads to get to the centre. Id still choose this hotel location if I returned as I wouldn’t want to be in the busy city. We hired a scooter & there was undercover parking at the hotel. Handy location for the bus station & the airport which we used both. Breakfast was really good- I am Gluten free & had wrote this on the booking notes. On the first day I was met with ‘we have no bread’ this wasn’t an issue to me as we are in Thailand and it’s very difficult to come by- I never mentioned it again but at breakfast the next day but the waitress came over with the most amazing gluten free bread, which was so appreciated & I had this again on day 3! Lovely roof top pool for any spare time. Would totally recommend this hotel 🙂
Had the most perfect stay in Hotel Selene Chiang Rai! Staff service were extremely attentive and service was excellent. Check-in/out was swift & easy. Location is about 10minutes walk from city centre, quiet from the hustle & bustle but still in a prime location. We got the superior twin room, it was very spacious & cosy. Beds were super comfy, shower pressure and temperature hits the spot. Gotta give a shoutout for the bidet too! There’s also a swimming pool at the rooftop which offers a nice view of the city. Breakfast was provided, was a decent spread of western and Thai menu on rotation each day. We even got a souvenir during checkout as it was Christmas - how nice of them! Hotel Selene Chiang Rai will definitely be my first choice if I’m coming back to Chiang Rai again. Kudos to the staff for the pleasant stay!
Room was spacious with a pretty decent shower room. The staff were excellent and always helpful. Breakfast was more than adequate. It has a veranda around the entrance which was nice to sit and enjoy a drink after a day of sightseeing. Hotel is located in a relatively quiet area 👍🏼 so getting to the busier parts of Chiang Rai on foot was a slight challenge of crossing a main road but once across, things were accessible.

Tips for Visiting Hotels & Resorts
Compare OTAs and Direct Rates
Always check the hotel's own website after finding a rate on Agoda or Booking.com. Many Thai properties offer a best-rate guarantee or throw in perks like free breakfast when you book direct.
Location Matters More Than Stars
A well-located 3-star hotel often beats a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, staying near a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the beach you actually want matters most.
