Heaven Hotel Chachoengsao — A New In-Town Stay in Paet Riu With Clean Rooms, Near Wat Sothon
If you're in Paet Riu (Chachoengsao) to pay respects to Luang Pho Sothon and want somewhere new, clean, affordable, and easy to park — Heaven Hotel Chachoengsao is the name leading the review scores in town. This 3-star hotel opened in 2020 with 71 rooms, sitting on Chachoengsao-Bang Pakong Road in the Na Mueang subdistrict. The building is still new, rooms are kept clean, staff are helpful, and rates start from around ฿790/night — which is why it scores surprisingly high for a small-town hotel.
What drives Heaven Hotel's high review score is how new and clean it feels. The hotel only opened in 2020, so the building and rooms are still in good shape. Guests repeatedly say the rooms are very clean, well kept, the beds comfortable, and there's none of the musty smell you get from many older hotels in town. For a stay in the low-hundreds-to-low-thousands baht range in a small city like Paet Riu, that level of freshness isn't easy to find.
The hotel sits on Chachoengsao-Bang Pakong Road in the Na Mueang subdistrict — just a few minutes' drive to Wat Sothon Wararam and within easy reach of the town center, market, and the riverside restaurants along the Bang Pakong. Parking is free with room to spare, which matters to anyone arriving by car. One thing to note: Chachoengsao train station is about 5 km away, so if you come by rail you'll need to grab a ride into the hotel.
There's a range of room types, from Superior and Deluxe up to Family rooms and a suite. Rooms come with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a fridge, and the basic amenities, and some have a small balcony with a town view. Hot water works well, and the common areas include a lounge, garden, and terrace to sit out in. The front desk is open 24 hours, with luggage storage and laundry service on hand.
"New room, very clean, friendly and helpful staff, easy parking, and just a short drive to pay respects to Luang Pho Sothon — great value for the price."
To be honest, there are a few things to brace for. The entry-level rooms are on the small side, and some balconies are so tiny they're barely usable. A point that comes up often in reviews is that some bathrooms have no shower partition, so the whole floor gets wet after you shower. Breakfast is simple with limited choices — most guests say it's enough to tide you over but don't expect a big buffet.
Overall, Heaven Hotel scores 9.2 out of 10 on Trip.com from 129 reviews, which is very high for a hotel in Chachoengsao town. TripAdvisor scores are more mixed, a reminder that your experience can depend on which room you get. But measured on freshness, cleanliness, free parking, a location that's a quick drive to Wat Sothon, and rates that start around ฿790 and climb into the low thousands by season and room type — it does the job nicely as a base for temple visits, a stopover, or a business trip on a friendly budget.
