Blackandwhite Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 The Rydges in Chiang Mai is a super hotel very smart clean and tidy rooms perfect in condition. But If you are looking for a good all round service and value for money I do suggest you think carefully. The pool is very nice and perfectly clean good posotion for sun and shade, but if you want a beer it will cost you for a small can of Carlsburg 120 Baht that is subject to 10% service charge and 7% vatabout 140 Baht in total and a bottle of water small Vittel will cost 100 Baht. The price for food are way out as well 140 Baht for a Chicken fried rice plus 10 % service and 7% VAT, Room service is the around the same price. One small box of Pringles will cost you about 120 Baht from the mini bar. If you wish to use the safe box in the room that is another 100 Baht a day, but there is a free one in the lobby down stairs. The staff are very professional but by no means friendly nor do they seam to have much in the way of personality which I normally see in LOS. Some were nice but more often than not they would not seam to bothered to talk to you unless they needed to. Night security men were fantastic guys both always on the ball and ready to help when you need them to. In the day the door / reception staff let you struggle through the doors with your shopping ect, where ever I have been before there is always someone to open the door for the guests. There are lots of other things which I found both good and bad, but these are just some of the points people need to realise before you take advantage of any of the cheap room rates they offer. The IT service were very good and always available. One other thing one small Ice Cream Bar or tub by the pool or from the room service was 235 Baht. Just up the road in the shop the same Ice cream was 35 Baht. !!!!!!!!! Please note as I said the overall the Rydges Hotel is very clean tidy modern and professional and the reduced rates for the rooms are very reasonable. Shame there is not a Gym or somewhere you can play a game of pool. Anybody else been there what did you think ?????? Please excuse my grammar in this post.
