Come Moon Loft Hotel is a small loft-style boutique hotel of around 15 rooms, down a quiet lane in the riverside quarter by the Yom River in central Phrae. The draw is its raw bare-concrete loft design, new and spacious rooms, and a riverside spot within walking reach of Rim Nam Yom Park, Wat Phra Non, and the Saturday walking street. Many reviews say it feels like a small, quiet, private stay — unhurried, with the easygoing side of Phrae — and the hotel's resident cats wandering out to greet guests are a touch a lot of people love.
Rooms come mainly as a Standard Double with one large bed for couples, and a Standard Twin with two beds for friends or anyone who prefers separate beds, at around 20 sq.m. Rooms have air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a fridge, a minibar, and a bathroom that reviews praise for good hot-water pressure. What guests often note is that the rooms are new, clean, and spacious, with plenty of power points and easy space for luggage. Couples or solo travellers will find the Standard Double plenty and the cheapest option, while groups of friends can take the Standard Twin.
"New, clean, spacious rooms with good hot-water pressure, a very friendly owner and staff, a peaceful atmosphere, by the Yom River within walking reach of the walking street — with cats to play with too. Great value."
What guests praise most is the new, clean rooms and the friendly staff — many reviews mention the kind, helpful owner and front-desk staff, and the quiet atmosphere of the lane it sits on. Another highlight is the bare-concrete loft design with a charm of its own, raw and unlike the usual hotels in Phrae. On top of that there are free bikes for riding along the river and into town, generous free parking, an in-house restaurant, and 24-hour reception. The Yom riverside location makes it easy to stroll the riverside park at dusk and head to the Saturday walking street.
Location is a real strength here. Sitting down a quiet lane by the Yom River, it is within walking reach of Rim Nam Yom Park, Wat Phra Non, and the Saturday walking street (Kad Kong Kao). From here it is about 6–9 minutes by car to Khum Chao Luang, Baan Wongburi, and Wat Pong Sunan, and around 15 minutes to Wat Phra That Cho Hae, making it a good base for exploring Phrae. There are convenience stores and local eateries within reach, though some reviews note that for a wider choice of restaurants at night a car is handier.
To be honest, there are things to keep in mind. The bare-concrete loft design means some rooms are fairly dim or low on light, so if you like a bright, airy room ask to see photos of the exact room first. A share of reviews say the Wi-Fi is slow and unreliable at times, not ideal for anyone who needs to work online seriously. Some nights there can be evening noise and audible plumbing between floors. Breakfast is simple or, at times, not offered, and reception is occasionally unmanned. This is the voice of real guest reviews and points to a small, value-focused stay that leans on design, new rooms, and a riverside spot rather than full big-hotel service.
Overall, Come Moon Loft Hotel suits anyone after a small loft-design hotel with new, spacious rooms, a Yom riverside spot, the walking street in walking reach, and a price in the hundreds. If you value new, clean rooms, a cool design, a quiet atmosphere, friendly staff, and good value over full big-hotel service, it does that job well for the money. It works for couples, groups of friends, and travellers who want a quiet riverside stay in central Phrae.
A tip drawn from reading lots of reviews: if you like a bright room, ask to see photos of the exact room first, since the bare-concrete loft design leaves some rooms dim. Borrow a hotel bike to ride the Yom riverside park and the Saturday walking street in the cooler evening air. If you must work online seriously, keep a backup plan for the Wi-Fi. And because there are few rooms and it sits near the walking street, book ahead on long weekends.
