mark 2010-01-07	Lanna Mantra Relais, Patan Lanna Mantra is an beautiful lush country retreat, stunning garden setting and river side pool/bar make this a very peaceful and restful hotel. For anyone who wants to get away from it all, this is the perfect hotel. Service is good, maybe it a little too laid back, but still helpful when you want it. 10 mins ride into Chang Mai town can be a problem come back in the evening as some tuk tuk s don t want to make the ride. All in all this place is highly recommended, we loved it!	good
Khun Sirinate Meenakul 2008-12-23	Lanna Mantra Relais, Patan The resort has a lovely setting by the river with lush garden which could be one of the highlights of the stay. Located about 15 minutes away from the city centre, so this is a good choice for those who prefer more peaceful environment. The room offers basic facilities which can make the stay comfortable. They should upgraded the blankets to duvets. The room was relatively dark due to limited lighting but could be quite romantic for those who prefer. The balcony makes it more special. Menu offers limited choices, breakfast was basic with cooked eggs. The resort should consider to offer choices of coffees for breakfast instead of making additional charges. The resort offers shuttle services which were very useful. I must say that they were very flexible with the shuttle service. Staff were attentive and helpful. All in all, it was a wonderful stay and good value for money.	The booking service was smooth and quick. Professional and well handled.
Laura & JF 2008-09-18	Lanna Mantra Relais, Patan Loved this hotel! So beautiful and quiet and clean. Large rooms, nice balconies and clean bathrooms. Gorgeous pool, setting and excellent restaurant. The staff are amazing and bend over backwards to help you. The in room massages are good and affordable! One of the things we liked and disliked the most was the location - it is outside of Chiang Mai city so you have to plan to go into town and get home at night (can be a bit expensive). If you are interested in a relaxing, peaceful, natural setting and experience then this is it! If you want to be in the action and fun or if you are scared of lizards then do not stay here! We would definately return in a second!	Very good - would definately use it again and recommend it highly to others!
Russell Boustead 2008-06-26 until 2008-07-01	Lanna Mantra Relais, Patan Great place out of town 6-8km (150-200 Baht by Tuk Tuk).Rooms, garden, pool excellent. Staff v.helpful. I highly recommend it.	No problems. Sawadee also allowed a change of date at another hotel which we appreciated

Thorsten Tonndorf 2007-12-25 until 2007-12-28	Lanna Mantra Relais, Patan What a wonderful place! Peaceful athmosphere, nice and clean rooms, helpful staff, swimmingpool in the garden near the river ... paradise! However it is located quite far from Chiang Mai inner city - at least 10 minutes by taxi or tuk tuk. Anyway: Our children and we loved this place!
Jerry Spiegel 2007-12-15 until 2007-12-19	Lanna Mantra Relais, Patan Highly recommended! A very relaxing place with its own own character. My wife and I stayed in a standard room by the pond; and although we thought of upgrading to be by the river, we thoroughly enjoyed our spacious room with its beautiful setting. Pool setting by the river is truly magical. Lighting could be a bit stronger in the room - but a small matter. Staff were great, food very good... and the grounds exceptional. We rented a car which made the place very convenient, so highly recommend this combo for those interested in driving in the area... although access would still be convenient by tuk-tuk or cab. We would definitely return.	Excellent. Easy to use and efficient in having all the information needed.
Rima E. from USA 2007-12-14 until 2007-12-20	Lanna Mantra Relais, Patan We loved our stay at the Lanna Mantra Hotel in Chiang Mai. The room was lovely, the grounds beautiful, and the staff extremely kind and welcoming. When we arrived at the hotel we were given the standard room we requested. It was a bit musty, but adequate. The next day we moved to a triple (which was on the second floor). It was perfect for the duration of our stay. It is a bit inconvenient to be outside of the city, and the taxi fare can certainly add up. The hotel s restaurant is adequate after a long day of touring, but not somewhere you d want to eat regularly. Overall, we loved our time at Lanna Mantra and missed the intimate hospitality when we flew south to the beaches. I actually got teary saying goodbye to the staff.	Easy and friendly--just like travel in Thailand!
Ms Eva Lim 2007-07-06 until 2007-07-09	Lanna Mantra Relais, Patan Its a wonderful hotel away from the busy city. There is even a river just behind the hotel. I think its a great place for people who have been to chaingmai before and have seen all the touristy sites in the city centre. If you are a first timer, the distance of the hotel away from the city may be a problem. When I was there, if I need to get to the city, i would need to take the tuk tuk/ taxi from the hotel. The receptionist are very helpful in this. each trip cost us THB150 per one way. So if you are looking for a place to relax, this is IT! to my opinion, its even better than tamarind village. however, if you want to sightsee, tamarind village would be better as its location is in the town centre. My mom and I really enyoyed our stay at Lanna Mantra and the staffs have been a great help. One particular staff, her name is Joy was most helpful. She even took the trouble to ferry us to a nearby restaurant with her motorbike which is way beyond her duty. Fnatastic place.	I have been using sawadee for the past 5yrs. I have no problems at all. Great service. htx
Martin Walter 2007-07-02 until 2007-07-09	Lanna Mantra Relais, Patan This was a perfect stay!!! We stayed there one week during July in a two bed appartment and used it as a base for our trips through the beautiful and exciting north of Thailand. The rooms were a little bit dark, though, but the friendly and so very much engaged staff made up for this a thousand times. Breakfast and food in general was fine in that calm and friendly place and it was a little bit like joining a family. The pool is very clean and located with a great sight above the river, the resort itself is like a little paradise separated from the busy town, there is a beautiful pond with waterlillies in the entrance yard wich makes you forget that you live very close to Thailand s second biggest city. Most important were the nice gestures of the staff. When you waited for a pick up service in the morning, they came and offered to call them when they felt it was late, and when leaving we got some bookmarkers with a picture of us and the resort as a good buy present. All in all it is very much recommendable.	Sawadee.com is a polite and reliable service that leaves no points to complain about. Thank you!
