Staff is AMAZING. They were the most helpful and freindliest staff we encountered while staying in Thailand. All speak VERY good English which was very helpful for us. Free breakfast was excellent. Very quiet, peaceful, and beautiful place to stay. Location doesn't get any better This was my favorite hotel we stayed in Thailand. Beautiful and comfortable. Excellent deal if you book online. Customer service doesn't get any better. Hotel is located right in city center. Free breakfast is very good and you also get a free 10 minute hand massage. Stay here. You'll be happy you did.
Restaurant Tip : Make sure to take advantage of the great free breakfast!

Atmosphere, quality of services, location, restaurant, room comfort. Moskitos, price of the spa (we benefited from a promotion on our last day but we regreted not to be able to use it more often). We really enjoyed the hotel. It is probably one of the best located hotel in Chiang Mai. Also we really appreciated the staff kindness and the general atmosphere of the hotel. You have to try the massage there!! A shame it is so pricey.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Don't hesitate to do the excursions proposed by the hotel (could be just a chauffeur by day/half day).

Location, staff, charming atmosphere. Tamarind Village is perfect hotel to visit and relax Chiang Mai in a charming boutique hotel. I have been several times to Chiang Mai, and in my view this it the best boutique hotel there for that range of prices.
Location is perfect, and staff very friendly. The place is amazingly natural and quiet for that location: you are in the center of Chiang Mai but still surrounded by giant trees and temples. Lovely place for couples or families.

Highly recommended
Travel tip : Walk past the restaurant out to the street then turn left, walk 100 meters to the massage centre on the left and get a massage at less than a quarter of the price than the hotel Spa.

This place isn't a Novotel style accommodation.
It has personal feel, and little extras (such as a scroll explaining a thai custom) which appeared in our room in the morning, added to enjoyment.
Hotel Feature Tip : Tour booked through the Hotel was better than the one we booked online before we went.

The Spa is a must. Also 'Sunday Walking Street', a kind of city center flea market on Sunday afternoon/evening is really enjoyable.

Great hotel with a cool Thai atmosphere. Very friendly staff who make everything easy for you. It's like an oasis of calm in the middle of Chiang Mai!
Shopping Tip : The Sunday Street Market is great as it's right on the doorstep of The Tamarind Village.

The hotel premises surround a beautiful old Tamarind tree. The staff seem to enjoy working at the hotel and were happy to point out all of the hotel features and details to us. There's a spa onsite, which we didn't use in the end, but it looked quite nice. The breakfast buffet included was quite expensive and the poolside outside dining is a unique touch that you won't find in most hotels offering free breakfast. In short, we found no serious faults with the hotel.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Checkout all of the temples that are within walking distance of the hotel. When you become too tired, take a Tuk-Tuk. Mornings were cool and afternoons were HOT, so keep this in mind for planning walking tours and other activties.

The resort is near the city center and near to many wats too. A good tuk-tuk service to go around the city is just out of the resort entrance. Great international breakfast with very good service.

I loved the quiet, lush grounds of this place, and the sense of escape from the outside world (especially since it's off a noisy main road in the middle of the city). It's a great jumping-off point to exploring the Old City on foot, or to other daytrips outside Chiang Mai. There are several coffee shops and cafes very nearby if you want to go "off-campus," too.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : The hotel is right on Rachadamnern Road, where the Sunday night "walking market" is held. Very convenient! Also, don't miss the many boutique shops & Siam Celadon Tea Shop just a short walk down Thapae Road!

Quiet, serene, good amenities, clean rooms, staff spoke good english and were very helpful. maybe more sunloungers around pool great hotel, very quiet and restful even though it is in the heart of the old city. Staff were more than helpful, the pool was central and very relaxing. Restaurant was very good, breakfast was divine with heaps of choices. Close to lots of wats, easy to get to the big markets, heaps of tuk tuks right outside the gate. Easy to explore on foot, lots of cafes and restaurants close by.
Hotel Feature Tip : Be sure to try the sticky rice in the breakfast menu. Its a local delicacy and really yummy, the chef is also more than willing to show you how to make it.

Treated ourselves to a wonderful massage in their new spa facilities.(opened Feb 2007) Therapists were very professional and what a great way to unwind after a busy day of touring.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : 1. Elephant Nature Park - One day learning elephant course - amazing to see what one woman is doing for the Asian Elephants.

2. Thai Cooking Class - Great good, fun instructors, beautiful location.
