Chiang Mai, Thailand Hotel Rooms at the Independent

Great location, near all the temples and local sights. Right on the east edge of the wall/moat of the old city. Clean rooms, friendly staff, great breakfast. Only downside if the typical high internet costs for Thailand's hotels.

Grounds are very well taken care of. Rooms are spacious and comfortable ; very well appointed . Location is a bit far from downtown area and there is not much around it. Breakfast needs to be upgraded; you have the choice of Japanese or American brekfast but it is not enough food and you get half a glass of FANTA as your "orange" drink . Staff is very corteous . Overall, I like this hotel and would stay in it again.

We have been there for few days to relax and discover Chiang Mai during the quiet season Hotel team has always been very helpful and very very gentle The place is very charming and quiet (15/20 min via tuk tuk from city center) The pool is amazing and very hot, room very clean with lot of space and a private balcony. The hotel is located in the land close to a small village. From outside your room door you can see farmer working on their rice culture... We realy enjoyed that place and strongly recommand it Don't forget to ask hotel team for a map to go to the hotel for the tuk tuk drivers who always know where you want to go, but very often get lost :-)

Need a break from over-spicy food, pollution and the best spa my wife and I have ever experienced? Narritaya was our key to happiness after 4 weeks in Thailand. Yes, it is a bit out of the way from the tourist area of Chiang Mai, but we traveled in or out, as needed. The staff treats it like a Ritz Carlton with attentive personalized service and take care of every little detail. Everything from the food to the shampoo, soaps and teas are made from scratch with herbs and items from the garden grounds. They do all the little things right and can help you with anything. They packed me breakfast to go when we left for early morning tours. My wife said it was the best massage and facial she had ever had in her life (she is a spa pro). If you a spa-lover, yoga-enthusiast or just want attentive relaxation and fresh food, this should be your place of stay. I cannot say enough good things. Many thanks, Narritaya!

We spent 2 nights in February at the hotel and enjoyed our stay there. We were within walking distances of good restaurants and the river. It was very quiet and the food at breakfast was good and plentiful. We also enjoyed using the coffee shop to meet with friends. Used the laundry services and were pleased with fast service.

we had a wonderful one night's stay at this hotel. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The evening meal we had was very good and excellent value. Our room was very clean & comfortable. We had a superb breakfast in the outdoor dining area. The hotel is set in very pleasant grounds. We would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel and would definitely book to stay again the next time we visit Chiang Mai

A beautiful hotel perfectly located between the down town market and Angkor Watt. The hotel is organized especially for tourist with fantastic staff that can handle all everything for you. Unlike other hotels, they do not add surcharge for tour, taxi, laundry, or guide. We had such a wonderful time at this hotel. They make you feel welcome from the time you set foot on the place to the time that you leave.

Lovely quiet hotel, gives a very calm experience, old world style with a lot of wood work. A really serene stay, just the right atmosphere to chill out and relax. The pool area is beautiful, and there is a small area nearby for reading, playing chess, watching the fountains and having some drinks. The staff are lovely, nothing is too much trouble for them, they will help you to get a taxi, Tuk tuk, tell you the correct price for your journey, organise excursions, suggest restaurants as well. Lots of brochures are available at reception. The food is terrific, a lot of choice for breakfast and for dinner as well; breakfast finishes at 10am, so a sleep- in is possible and the dinner is available until 10pm which is terrific if you have had a long day. Breakfast box is possible for an early morning start.

This is a lovely little hotel tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The staff is warm and friendly and helped with all our needs. They offered to share and explain their traditions associated with the Thai New Year and everything to do with the Songkram Festival! It is just tuk tuk ride to the city's center.
