Lanna Mantra Hotel Chiang Mai Reviews & Ratings

A delightful family run small Thai boutique hotel which is only 7 months old. Lanna Mantra is on a quiet reach of the Ping River about a 10 minute drive from the centre of Chang Mai!

The landscaping in the garden was lovely, a team of gardeners tend the grounds each day and they are really beautiful and create a very peaceful and romantic ambiance - the large balcony of our room overlooked the lotus pond - absolutely perfect for reading a book! Other rooms overlook the large swimming pool, childrens swimming pool and river. All rooms feature a water( pond or pool(s) and river) views.

Rooms were spacious and included 'luxury' items such as tea/coffee making facilities, mini-bar, hairdryer and the TV movie channels HBO and Star Movies. Breakfast comprised of fresh fruit, a range of juices, cereals, pastries, breads, bacon , eggs, sausages, ham, Thai style food and you could order freshly made scrambled eggs or omelettes. Restaurant food and beverage prices were very reasonable. Most food items between 60 -80 baht. Soft drinks 15 baht and a can of sing-ha beer 40 baht.

We loved the hotel sooooo much, we stayed 3 weeks ( instead of 3 days) and plan to return next year.

"Everything is done with a smile on their dials" and by the time we left we felt part of their extended family. We were invited to a family birthday party, wonderful array of food, lit white lanterns with fire and released them into the night sky from the edge of the riverbank! Very special.

For those of you with a car, parking is available and a security guard is employed to ensure the security of the compound. Transport to and from the hotel was available, the hotel will take you to the city by car for 200 baht (about US$5.00 or Australian $6.00) per car, a private metered Taxi will charge you 150 Baht, we used Taxi 41 Mr Pravit extensively over a three week period and found him to be very good and reliable. As the hotel is relatively new some local city drivers are unsure of its location, so it is always handy to take a brochure from the hotel with the address in Thai.

If you want "to chill" in a lovely, peaceful and relaxed environment with easy access to the hustle and bustle of Chang Mai you will love Lanna Mantra.

We were looking for a nice, quiet & romantic place to spend our second honeymoon. Lanna Mantra was exactly what we were looking for.

The architecture, room, grounds, view, quietness was incredible. Service was impeccable without being obtrusive. The menu at the restaurant/room service was sufficient for our needs. Prices of the mini bar items and food & beverage were very reasonable.

Given that we wanted somewhere quiet, away from the hustle & bustle of the more touristy areas of Chiangmai, we find the 100 baht per person hotel for hotel transportation bearable.

The only snag we hit was trying to find our way back from the hotel from the city via tuk-tuk. The taxi drivers seem to have never heard of it before! Quite harrowing trying to hunt down a driver that only have a vague idea how to get to that area.

Overall, we enjoyed our short stay there very much and have recommended it highly to people who are looking for a romantic hideaway in Chiangmai.

My wife & I stayed for 4 nights at this hideaway tranquil hotel. The service is good and staff are very polite & attentive. The location is for those who wish to have complete rest and the setting by the river is beautiful.

Arrange for you to have breakfast by the river bank. The hotel is clean and the rooms are neatly arranged. I will come again.

The cost from the hotel to the city is 100 bahts /person so build this into your costings.

The massage is recommended @ 400 bahts for 2 hrs. A real treat.
