About Nak Nakara Hotel
Situated on Uttarakit Road in central Chiang Rai, this well-regarded city hotel places guests within easy reach of the Night Bazaar, the Clock Tower, and reliable transport connections to landmarks including the White Temple and Blue Temple. Despite its urban location, the property maintains a notably quiet and private atmosphere — a combination that sets it apart from more typical city-center accommodation.
Rooms are spacious, clean, and kept to a consistently high standard. A swimming pool adds a welcome touch of comfort after days spent sightseeing, and the staff earn particular praise for their attentiveness and willingness to help. Several complimentary extras distinguish the hotel from comparable properties, since guests have access to a free minibar, unlimited fresh fruit, non-alcoholic drinks, umbrellas, and bicycles — practical inclusions that make independent exploration of the city and its surroundings noticeably easier. The building's architecture also gives the property a more distinctive character than most hotels in this price bracket.

Reviews from Google
By far the best hotel we stayed at in Thailand. The staff was genuinely nice. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The architecture of the hotel is also interesting. We were so happy the shower water gets really hot since our Chiang Mai hotel it only was slightly warm. The included breakfast was also good for hotel breakfast quality. Would definitely book here again.
Our room was clean and comfortable, the grounds were beautiful, breakfast was very good, and staff were friendly and helpful. Complimentary non-alcoholic drinks, use of umbrellas and bicycles were nice bonuses. The only negative was that the wi-fi in our room was spotty, but that was an inconvenience rather than an actual problem.
The hotel is excellent and well located, around a 15-minute walk from the Night Bazaar, with convenient access to popular attractions such as the Blue Temple and White Temple. The rooms are spacious, beautifully maintained, and very clean. The overall facilities are impressive, including a lovely swimming pool. The staff are consistently respectful, friendly, and very helpful. They also gave us the printed map for out easier travel around the city. However, there were a few drawbacks. The shower water was not always hot. Breakfast is charged as included, but for pure vegetarians it feels like unnecessary expense, as there are very limited vegetarian options. On one occasion, we ordered a sandwich and were later told the kitchen was too busy to prepare it. We were asked to place our breakfast order a day in advance, but even then the service was disappointing. The food was not provided properly and was only partially packed for us. Overall, the stay was comfortable in terms of rooms, facilities, and service, but the food experience—especially for vegetarians—was not satisfactory.

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.
