Catherine McMahon-Rousseau 2008-10-08	The Amata Lanna Chiangmai, Chang Klan Beautiful rooms in a lovely and peaceful environment (too bad there was some construction noise just across the street, but that should be finished in ~6 mos - we were there the 1st wk of Oct 2008). The staff is very pleasant & helpful - just be sure you get someone who speaks English well if you want to book a tour...) Only 12 rooms, you really feel at home - and are spoiled with daily fruit treats, etc. Despite the inconvenience of the noise across the street (which will no longer be an issue once construction is completed), we d return in a heartbeat! We definitely recommend it (and it s within easy walking distance to night bazaar, etc without the hustle and bustle of being within the walled city.)
Antony Wickens 2008-09-02	The Amata Lanna Chiangmai, Chang Klan Our holiday was planned as a present to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and what a lovely place we picked to stay. Originally we chose to stay 4 nights and extended to 7. The Amata Lanna is relatively new, spotless, staff are lovely and the serenity a perfect place to relax in. This place is not in your local travel agents, but it should be. Yes, you have to leave the hotel for your lunch and evening meals but everything is within walking distance including the shopping. Thank you Amata Lanna for making our celebration a special holiday. Tony and Shelley	Thank you Sawadee.com for the booking. Everything went according to plan and there were no problems.
Guido Raymond Molinaro 2008-08-24	The Amata Lanna Chiangmai, Chang Klan Great Hotel: great location in walking distance of the Night Bazar. Friendly and nice staff. Great and big breakfast. The room was just excellent and couldn t have been better. Overall one of the most beautiful rooms I ever stayed in.	booking with sawadee.com was without a problem; the free pick-up included in my package worked perfectly: taxi driver was waiting at the airport.
Mrs Sonia M Maycock 2008-08-23	The Amata Lanna Chiangmai, Chang Klan This really is a great place to stay - staff are so friendly and helpful and rooms are truly beautiful. It is 5-10 mins from night bazaar. Plenty of choice at breakfast and free internet service using their computer( much appreciated by my 2 teenage daughters). No problems with hotel s Pick up service from airport. There is some building work noise from nearby property in day but as hotel plays discrete classical music around pool don t let this put you off. Would definitely stay here again.	No problems at all and price much cheaper than advertised in hotel reception.
Ms.Lauri khazraei 2008-08-16 until 2008-08-19	The Amata Lanna Chiangmai, Chang Klan such a quaint and lovely boutique hotel. gracious and kind staff were so helpful in planning a fun and exciting stay. good location, close to night market. sunday market had great food vendors with each food 20b. cheap and delicious. beautifully decorated in true thai style. would stay here again!!
Felicity Handford 2008-08-06	The Amata Lanna Chiangmai, Chang Klan This was the best hotel we stayed in while in Thailand. Our room was extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean. The garden courtyard and swimming pool area had a jungle feeling to it. Although it does not have a restaurant there are plenty, including the night market, within a 5-10 minute walk. The only downside is the traffic noise from the road on the other side of the hotel wall.	Booking worked faultlessly
M Begona Serrano Sainz 2008-07-22 until 2008-07-27	The Amata Lanna Chiangmai, Chang Klan It is one of the most beautiful hotels I´ve ever been. Bedrooms, location and staff are excellent. The hotel is decorated in a Thailand style with all the smart details you can imagine. We were a group of 15 friends and all of us were pleasantly surprised when we arrived to the hotel. Even if it is categorized as 3 star I can ensure that all the bedrooms are much more better than the 5 star hotels I was in Thailand. I hardly recommend it	I made several reservations with sawadee and all of them were perfect
LAURA CEREZO GARCIA 2008-05-20 until 2008-05-22	The Amata Lanna Chiangmai, Chang Klan This hotel is the best one I have been in my life. It is really beautiful. the location is perfect, very near from the night bazar, only five minutes walking. Breakfast very good. When you come back to the hotel in the afternoon, you have a plate of fruit in your room. The best hotel in Thailand. Laura y Rober
Nadine Gauthier 2008-04-20 until 2008-04-23	The Amata Lanna Chiangmai, Chang Klan Extraordinary Lanna-style hotel in Chiang Mai. The most amazing experience from room decor, bedding, bathroom, hotel staff were extremely nice and courteous and helpfult Nice clean pool, very refreshing. Daily fresh fruits, amazing breakfast. Hotel can arrange excursions for you. 10 minute walk from Night Bazaar and food court, great location. Would return in a heart beat. Well worth the price, would recommend to anyone who is looking for a warm and comfortable atmosphere away from busy city centre.	Excellent and convenient. Thank you.
Lawrence Theo Chaplin 2008-04-07 until 2008-04-11	The Amata Lanna Chiangmai, Chang Klan Its delicately upmarket, delightfully sophisticated, for the discerning traveller only. The Owners are the Operators and are the most gracious of hosts. We divebombed into this sanctuary and floated out with Karma restored....like nothing on Earth !!	Super *****
Geir Magne Lode 2008-03-26 until 2008-03-29	The Amata Lanna Chiangmai, Chang Klan Beautiful 10-room hotel with friendly and helpful staff who seems to put a lot of pride into their treatment of their guests. Personal attention without ever getting to the point of being annoying. Built in old Northern Thai style but with a jacuzzi and a fairly big flat screen TV in the room. Everything is well maintained and looks new. If not travelling on a tight budget a few days at Amata Lanna Chiangmai should be a very plesant experience. Definately a place to remember.	Fast and reliable. Recommended.
Stephen 2008-03-23 until 2008-03-24	The Amata Lanna Chiangmai, Chang Klan a delightful hotel, well located near the nightmarket area but in a realatively peaceful position. Staff very friendly and helpful.	everything went very smoothly - I have used before and will again
David Jones 2008-03-12 until 2008-03-15	The Amata Lanna Chiangmai, Chang Klan Recommended by Bangkok friend s secretary and proved a real gem. Only 12 beautiful rooms with fab bathrooms. Toy ,the owner is first class and has a young staff keen to oblige...nothing too much trouble. Hope this review doesn t ruin things and you all go there!(sorry Toy )	as always efficient and good
Brenton Noel Daniel 2008-03-11 until 2008-03-15	The Amata Lanna Chiangmai, Chang Klan What A Fantastic Hotel. What you see in the pictures on Sawadee is what you get. This Hotel is a great retreat. The rooms are fantastic with excellent facilities. The Breakfast was very nice. Staff excellent. to the owners.....Thank You for a very enjoyable stay. We will definitely stay at your establishment again when next in Chang Mai.	Great No Hassle Way of Booking Accomodation
Mr Peter N Rosser 2008-03-10 until 2008-03-13	The Amata Lanna Chiangmai, Chang Klan A Stunning little piece of paradise in close proximity to the main city/night bazar. Fantastic rooms, fantastic Service and general helpfulness of the staff. Could not have asked any more from them at all. Our only disapointment, was the location of the swiming pool, that seemed to be in the shade for most of the day. But then if your out all day, then this is not an issue. Would definately return again.	Fantastic, fast and very effective booking company facility for Thailand accomodation. I have used the service many times without fault.
Roland Luetzenburg 2008-03-09 until 2008-03-16	The Amata Lanna Chiangmai, Chang Klan This is the most beautifull place that we ever saw.The Rooms are full of lovely things and we felt the love to wonderfull details for the old Lannastyle of the owner. The Staff are so friendly courteous .We are shure,we will stay again.Only a question of time.Please take care of you and i look forward to see you again.Roland Luetzenburg/ Munich/Germany	very good service.Thank you1
Carol Smith 2008-03-07 until 2008-03-09	The Amata Lanna Chiangmai, Chang Klan Absolutely stunningly gorgeous place! High quality, lavish, tastefully authentic interior decor. The exterior of the Lanna-style buildings are beautiful too (the library/internet room is up in the trees on stilts!) and the garden/landscaping perfect with a lovely calm, soothing atmosphere (instrumental traditional Thai music playing in the courtyard/pool area undercut with the sound of the fountains). There were hardly any other guests there on the same weekend as us and the service top notch. We felt like the whole place was just for us. Heavenly. Oh and the location is quite good too, right near Wat Chaimongkol that has a pier on the Ping from which you can take river cruises and best of all, it s just a 5-min. walk to the night market. Oh and you must check out the restaurant across the street (at the next corner on your left when you step out the gate of the Amanta Lanna), it s a bit pricey (for Thailand) but top-notch and apparently world-renowned in the foodie set (some French co. did a coffee table book about it).
Bruce G Azzariti 2008-02-26 until 2008-03-02	The Amata Lanna Chiangmai, Chang Klan This is an absolute GEM~!! Like all the other reviews of this hotel, it is NOT like any hotel you have ever stayed in, with 12 quaint rooms styled in the true Northern Thsi Lanna style....you will feel like you are staying in someone s home and not a hotel. They provide Level 10 Hospitality and Service, the staff makes you feel like a long time friend and not a guest. The breakfast is made to order not a buffet, followed by a nicely prepared fruit tray, and every day when you return to the hotel, they will bring a nice fruit tray to you. The rooms are elegant in the Lanna style with wooden floors and a HUGE Jacuuzi in the bathroom. When I return to Chiang Mai.....I will stay NO Where else. You must try Amata Lanna, even if only for one night, treat yourself. It ws 4000 BHAT a night but worth every dime. The only drawback for me was a long time wait for hot water and then the water pressure was low which I thing is attributed to the type of shower head, they have large round overhead nozzle so it feels like you are standing in the rain which would be nice if there was more pressure and hot water came quicker. I asked the hotel to provide a driver for me and they got me a very nice female taxi driver, she was very knowldgeable and took us everywhere.......we were 8 hrs one day and 10 the next and it was 1500 Bhat the first day and 2000 BHAT for the longer day, for me, it was also a good value.	The booking service was also very quick, easy, and efficient.
Anja Schoof 2008-02-20 until 2008-02-23	The Amata Lanna Chiangmai, Chang Klan Very nice hotel, beautiful decorated and very friendly and helpful staff. Bathroom with jacuzzi. Breakfast is made to order and in the late afternoon you get some fresh fruit ready to eat to your room. Great!! Only small disadvantage: the hotel is nearby a sometimes busy road. Two computers and free internet also available. Strongly recommended.	It was for the first time we used this service and everything went smoothly.
Holger Schwarz 2008-01-27 until 2008-01-30	The Amata Lanna Chiangmai, Chang Klan The hotel is small but very nice. From outside it is hard to find, but when you step in the patio you feel like in a small paradise. It s not comparable with one of these great hotels with big impressive lobby but rooms like cages. Here all is very personal. Every room - they have names not numbers - is very special. It has nice handmade furniture and the contrat of lanna style with modern elements fits very well. The stuff is very helpful and friendly in all ways. I can suggest this hotel without any limitation.
Lynne Renwick 2008-01-25 until 2008-02-04	The Amata Lanna Chiangmai, Chang Klan Excellent hotel, very highly recommended, would stay there again. Beautiful surroundings and great service. far better than any hotel I have previously stayed in.
Justine Connolly 2008-01-04 until 2008-01-05	The Amata Lanna Chiangmai, Chang Klan The Amata Lanna is a small boutique hotel which is reasonably priced and outstanding value for money. The hotel is absolutey stunning and extremely well maintained. All communal areas were beautifully designed and well thought out. The rooms were gorgeously decorated, with every facility required - widescreen tv, soft bed, silk pillows, coffee & tea making facilities, marble bath, even scented tissues. The decor is traditional Thai style and very nicely done. I have never stayed in a room so beautiful and comfortable. The staff at the hotel are friendly, corteous and very efficient, from a glass of juice immediately on arriving to bringing fresh fruits in the afternoon. Nothing is too much trouble and they took the time to chat to us about our stay each morning and evening. The table service breakfast was also very nice, allowing us to have our food cooked exactly as we wanted it. The location was perfect for visiting Chiang Mai - 5 minutes from the night bazaar where we could shop and eat each evening. The Amata Lanna is probably the nicest hotel I have ever stayed in, so much more personal than luxury chains and to a much higher standard in my opinion. We had a wonderful stay here. If we come back to Chiang Mai (which I sincerely hope we are able to) I will definately stay at The Amata Lanna. Thank you!	Outstanding. Great communication, easy transactions, all our particular requests dealt with efficiently.
Mathieu Jean-Claude 2007-12-22 until 2007-12-26	The Amata Lanna Chiangmai, Chang Klan Excellent hotel from all its sides : refined Thai architecture and decoration, sophisticated materials, comfortable wide rooms, human sized hotel (12 rooms)...in other words a little paradise well located next to Night Bazar, temples and other facilities. Last but not least, welcoming and helpful staff. Much better than 5 stars cold and smooth hotels !! On vous le recommande sans hesiter	Reliable and efficient
Mrs Lesley kay williams 2007-12-15 until 2007-12-20	The Amata Lanna Chiangmai, Chang Klan i was very happy with my stay at this hotel. The rooms were beautiful as was the hotel, immaculately clean and the staff were fantastic. Only one negative point was that in the morning there was some traffic noise, but it certainly didnt spoil our stay.	Excellent
Weber jean-francois 2007-12-13 until 2007-12-18	The Amata Lanna Chiangmai, Chang Klan Amata lanna is a very beautiful and cosy hotel, with nice and helpful people. I would recomend this hotel for couples who want to stay in a romantic place and a small hotel with only few rooms and no noise. the hotel is just 5 minutes from the night bazar, 3 minutes from a massage salon and also from a laundry. the pool is very small and in december is not possible to swim because nights are chilly.I don t recomend the hotel for couples with small children because there is not enough place in the hotel to play or to run.But even with children I loved this place.	perfect in every way!!
Weber jean-francois 2007-12-13 until 2007-12-18	The Amata Lanna Chiangmai, Chang Klan un hotel de charme en plein centre.Un calme absolu, un personnel fantastique. La piscine est petite et pendant l hiver elle est très froide. Ce sont seulement les danois qui ont piqué une tête! je conseille cet hôtel pour des voyageurs qui souhaitent découvrir un hotel de charme et rester dans un endroit central mais très calme, sans animation. il y a seuelement 12 chambres.nous y sommes restés avec 2 enfants de bases ages, nous avons adoré l hôtel mais je ne conseille pas pour des couples avec petits enfants car l hôtel est petit et il n y a pas assez d espace pour les enfants. l hôtel n est pas vraiment fait familles nombreuses, ni pour handicapés.	impecable
Ken Posgate 2007-11-14 until 2007-11-18	The Amata Lanna Chiangmai, Chang Klan This is a lovely boutique hotel, comprised of 12 units in two stories surrounding a small swimming pool. The architecture and furnishings, in the lanna style, are very unique. It is a 10 minute walk to the famous night market. The staff are very helpful and friendly and the breakfasts, served outdoors around the pool, are delicious.	Very efficient, but unusual to require full payment before arrival. A deposit should be adequate.
Fiona Michelle Motum 2007-09-30 until 2007-10-02	The Amata Lanna Chiangmai, Chang Klan A great hotel in an excellent location. Only 5 minutes walk to the night bazaar and 10 - 15 min to the Walking markets and Old City centre. The rooms are beautiful and the staff could not be more helpful.	Very good service
Carol Licht 2007-07-08 until 2007-07-11	The Amata Lanna Chiangmai, Chang Klan This is an exceptionally wonderful boutique hotel in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The decor has been tastefully done in northern Thai style with gorgeous carved wood doors, ellegantly appointed bathrooms, comfortable canopy beds, framed historical photographs of Chiang Mai and numerous other unique touches. The location is quiet and peaceful, yet within walking distance of downtown. The staff is very attentive and thoughtful. The included multi-course breakfast is fabulous and they serve artfully carved fresh fruit in the late afternoon. I hated to leave. We enjoyed our stay very much and plan to return.	efficient, easy to use
ALEXANDRE AGNES 2007-04-13 until 2007-04-16	The Amata Lanna Chiangmai, Chang Klan The most beautiful hotel we ever stayed in ! The staff is very helpful and takes care of customers. We stayed there only 3 nights, but it was wonderful. Rooms are very clean, staff offer you delicious fresh fruits during the day, the breakfast is mouthwatering and it is close to all convenience. Really nice! (just a remark; That s a pity that used water is thrown in nature...)	Very efficient
