This was just an overnight stay in the provincial capital to meet friends for dinner and hang out a bit, as our home is about 30km away from town. The hotel is decent, a bit dated in design and décor but clean and like most Phayao hotels very inexpensive by Western standards. There are shops and a few small restaurants in the immediate area, and the Kwan Phayao lakefront is almost walking distance, though we didn't go to the lake as recent flooding in the area meant some restaurants were closed. In the hotel itself, the pool was closed for renovations, which was disappointing; the fitness center was open, and fairly large and well equipped. Breakfast was included but nothing really to "write home about."

Amazing view from level 10, but the water pressure in what was a beautiful room was poor.

This is the only place near to bus station . There are strangely no taxis in Phayao . other hotels are a long walk away . Room was just OK . Bathwater only lukewarm . No English TV channels . Breakfast choices are v. limited & mediocre - strictly Asian . it is a long walk to lakefront entertainment area .

The Phayao Gateway is probably the most well known hotel in Muang Phayao. The hotel is 10 stories tall with rooms starting on 5th floor. Snooker, massage, outdoor swimming pool, and a workout area are located on 4th floor. Rooms have a mini fridge, satellite TV, AC, and bathtub/shower combo. Fair warning about the shower head: it is really low (I'm 6'4" (196cm) and have to kneel to take a shower). It is a little strange that they have a higher price point for a room with a double bed than a room with two twin size beds. They offer the standard international buffet breakfast, and sometimes have an egg station. The offer free wifi as well. Lunch/dinner are served in the same area and seem popular and affordable, but I didn't sample them. The hotel has convenient access to the lakefront with a 10-15 minute walk. There are shops and restaurants in the immediate vicinity and the bus station is next door to the hotel. I would compare this hotel favorably to the Topland Hotel in Phitsanulok, but without the attached shopping mall and late night noise from the disco. For the price as well, you could do significantly worse. Overall, this hotel was quite lovely and above my expectations considering that it is not generally geared for Western tourists.

GREAT HOTEL ,GREAT PEOPLE

Just down the street from the bus stop. Building and pool are nice, but the bed was very hard and rooms needed updating, especially the bathroom.

This hotel does not cater to Western tourists . Pros: Close to bus station & 7/11 . Room facilities are very limited . No in-room kettle , coffee , etc . Very low water pressure & limited hot water . Breakfast is poor - maybe fried eggs , toast & those dreadful Wiener "sausages" beloved by Thai hotels . The newish bar/restaurant strip on the lakeshore is a good 20 mins walk . There do not appear to be taxis or full-time in Phayao

Exterior of the building was very appealing. The lobby very welcoming. The frontdesk people were outstanding. Check in was a issue free. The room was neat and clean. The view of the lake from the 9th floor was incredible. Everything was in good working order except for one of the night stand lamps. It worked however the socket was broken and the lamp shade was askewed. Then there is the bathroom which is in serious need of updating. My review would have been at least a 4 but the bathroom condition dropped it to a 3. The hotel had a nice breakfast buffet. Not hugh, but enough to make anyone happy. Check out was easy, returned the key to the front and on my way.
