An absolutely beautiful location overlooking the river, and fabulous hotel, we found the staff extremely attentive, our room was overlooking the river and pool, the room was nicely decorated with a touch of local theme, the buffet breakfast was great with plenty of choice, we couldn’t fault this hotel in any way.
We couldn’t recommend this hotel enough 😊
Thank you for your hospitality 👍

What a Fabulous Hotel

We stayed here for 4 days during April 2023 with our two children aged 12 and 9. We had a family room, which was spacious and open. Lovely shower, clean and comfy beds with a nice balcony looking over the swimming pool and river. Great air conditioning, and coffee facilities. The location is stunning and is so peaceful with it being out of the main city. It only takes 5 mins to get into the night markets using a Grab costing about 100baht. 
The breakfast is okay, and we managed to have something everyday, and they were so friendly. The rooms and the resort is tranquil and simply beautiful, however it does need a little updating, and touching up. They were doing some things whilst we were there. The pool was great for the kids and we often had this to ourselves which was perfect. 
We booked in advance as wanted something coming off the night train from Bangkok and they let us have our room from 9am which was great. 
If you want peaceful and something relaxing after the busy days of chaing Mai then this is perfect for the price. 

Tranquil small hotel 

I’m not sure if I will be allowed to publish as we (my wife (Thai) , son and myself ended up leaving within 30 mins of arrival. The photos online are many years old and do not represent what you’re getting. the place is quite run down and the rooms and public areas need painting at least. When we arrived at our “relaxing weekend with dinner by the river” there was construction going on, which is going to start at 8am on a Sunday morning! There was no restaurant after 5pm, there was no bar. Felt really cheated. When I requested a refund the front desk manager refused and told me to phone the booking site, which we did, and thankfully they called the hotel who confirmed the points above and the website said they would refund us. A real shame, as the hotel has a great potential with a little work to clean up and decorate.

Check carefully before you book here

Stayed 3 nights of a long weekend. Place itself is relatively old and has nice gardens, check-in easy. We had a room overlooking the swimming pool and river which is nice but can have disadvantages. Room was ok, but bathroom very dark with no natural light. Breakfast was basic, bread not fresh. If I may suggest to the owner a few points: 1. The room boy who sweeps the garden from 06:30 is very enthusiastic and noisy, not exactly suitable for guests who like to sleep later. 2. The swimming pool has a sign which says open from 08:00 but on the last morning had some inconsiderate guest who took their 3 loud toddlers at 06:45, again if you are overlooking the pool an inconvenience and no one to tell them of opening times. 3. This hotel is good but could be a lot better with some small upgrades and a cost of paint.

Reasonably good in a city of many choices

My wife (Thai) and I live in Chiang Mai, and wanted a special night out for the Valentines. From the time of booking, prices began to change. The dinner price doubled, because of the holiday. The room price doubled because we wanted to see the river. Then, the champion of rip-offs; The price of a local drink, which sells everywhere in Thailand for a maximum of 150 baht was put on our bill for 350 baht each, or 1,100 total! I was convinced this was a mistake, and tried to present this issue as just a simple misunderstanding. But this was not to be. I was read policy of this hotel, and taught never to question their logic or rules. I was an ignorant foreigner, looking for a cheap discount! Of course I didnt bother telling anyone that I was a retired General Manager for Intercontinental Hotels, with 25 years and 21 countries experience, since it would have further made me look cheap, needing to flash my CV in order to be treated like a human being. The rude and hapless owner sat and sneered as I explained the situation to the sad front desk staff. This place is like staying in a post-war soviet hostel. Dont bother, there are literally dozens of much better places along the river on both sides. Really a sad and offensive experience.

Overpriced and dishonest

From the moment we passed through their gates and entered the beautiful courtyard, we knew we would feel comfortable, cosseted, and catered to while staying at the Lanna Dustin. While in need of some updating in their rooms, this hotel has retained its charm and has beauty to spare. The grounds are truly  magnificent with a riverside location, interior pond complete with resident ducks, and a lovely swimming pool. The restaurant is quite nice, offering buffet style breakfasts every morning. There is enough variety to satisfy the pickiest of palettes. The pace is unhurried and the atmosphere serene. After arduous days of sightseeing we were thrilled for the respite this hotel provided. It was our fiftieth wedding anniversary and our hosts, with the hotel, provided us with an evening we will never forget...complete with Thai dancers, small band, a welcome ceremony, a dancing yak, and fireworks at the end. We were treated like royalty and cannot praise the staff enough. I would happily return.

Location, location, location!

Entering the hotel is an indication that you are about to enjoy a beautiful setting, and that's how our stay here has been.  Our room has a lovely pond outside, and we can sit on the balcony and watch the ducks play.  The breakfast area, right on the river, is a treat first thing in the morning, and you can dip a finger in the pool on the way by.  Cool on a hot afternoon! We had lunch at the riverside today - delicious.  Cashew chicken with veg and rice.  Ladda served us and was attentive regarding my intolerance to wheat.  Overall, a lovely stay and a lovely room and staff.

Oasis

This resort is amazing! Rooms are very comfortable and clean! The staff is super friendly and the location is super nice! Its really quiet, you hear the nature around you. It’s a bit far out of Chiang Mai town, but you can rent a bicycle of take the free shuttle bus. 

Beautiful resort with amazing staff

Back in Early november 2019. I searched for lanna dusita on Agoda.com. 

the Lanna dusita listing showed free cancellation and payment on arrival. Totally misleading. On booking, i was charged the full amount immediately. 

After a 2 days. I decided to cancel my booking. I was a little shocked to see that it has become a zero refund booking. i rang the property asking for a refund. They stuck by their policy rigidly. Told me to seek Agoda for help.

My booking was for feb 2020. There is a 3 month gap from date of booking and actual stay. 

This is a precautionary message about the way Agoda conducts business. I paid a 1000dollar schooling fees.

Rigid refund policy.wasted 1000Singapore Dollars.

The outside environment looks really good,  very green. But the services in the room is average. Every hotel offers couple of water bottles,  here none. The bathroom needs major overhaul. The worst was the coffee served in the breakfast.  That was a major letdown. Since it's away from the city,  we had to pay 200 baht coming back after night market.
