Chiang Mai, Thailand Hotel Rooms at the Independent

We thought this Resort was terrific. The staff were most obliging in every way. The general grounds and surrounds were kept in a very good condition. All in all a top experience. Glad we selected Away Suansawan through Expedia.

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.

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.

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 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

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 :-)

Huge bedroom suite w/ jacuzzi, two patios, both with gorgeous views. Large bedroom and bathroom, great kitchen and living room as well. All the gardens and flowers were so beautiful. Great pool and great staff. Great service and really good food as well.

Ok so the title of my review may sound a little over the top but it really is how I'd describe everything about Rimping village. From the minute I arrived the staff made me feel so welcome it felt like I'd been there forever. If I'm lucky enough to find myself in Chiang Mai again I know where I'll be staying!

My wife and I stayed for one night at this hotel for an anniversary getaway. We had a wonderful stay. The staff was very helpful and quick to help us with a number of requests. The room was wonderful and we loved the private jacuzzi on the deck. The rooms are beautifully adorned and quite large. We loved the little rice treats and tea provided upon our arrival while waiting to check in. For dinner we decided to order the Dinner Set A for room service for two for about 1,000 baht. We weren't expecting dinner to be fantastic at that price, and while it did take a bit longer than we expected to prepare, it was worth the wait. The four course meal was quite delicious (especially the papaya salad!) and presented very nicely. The pool downstairs, while not large, is quite adequate for doing some laps in the morning and they have a small fitness corner with a few machines. The breakfast buffet was good. Although they had a number of a la carte western breakfast selections, I'm glad they recommend we try some of the Thai breakfast buffet items. Very tasty and you can tell how much work was put into preparing the food items. We loved our stay and would be glad to visit again.
