Just got back from a nice long weekend away in Chaing Mai. I had a very nice relaxing stay at Aruntara Hotel. It's a boutique hotel so you get a very personalised service. Staff were very friendly and helped me with booking group tours, spas and organising private tours. It was very quiet and I hardly saw any people there... More

We loved this hotel during our stay in late April. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. Our room was nicely decorated and very cute. We loved the little patio each room has off the main courtyard. It's close enough to everything that getting around is easy, but far enough away to be quiet and peaceful. Lovely!

Hotel was very relaxing during off-season. And so was Chiang Mai. Staff was very friendly, but could pay more attention to details (sunbeds not ready to be used, towels missing on the pool, overall presentation of breakfast behind our expectations) We had a standard room, that from my perspective was decorated nicely. Though it was rather dark. Bed was not... More

Spent three nights at this peaceful boutique hotel. Garden and pool areas are very calm. Rooms are rather dark, which is partly because of the courtyard view and the need to keep net curtains closed to maintain privacy - however they are large and well equipped. Restaurant prices very fair and menu is well balanced between Thai and international. Airport... More

I was on a short business trip and the hotel allowed early check in. Being located on the river was a great thing. The rooms were good except that the bathroom facilities are a bit strange. The shower is on one side and the tub and basin on the other side. Had free internet which was very useful. A good... More

Aruntara is a beautiful designed, boutique hotel situated on the banks of the Mae Ping River. The rooms are tastefully designed too, but are not very practical with beds on a platform with a smooth surface. Shower and toilet are on the left side of the corridor; bath and sink on the right side. The coartyard and garden are beautiful... More

My wife, son and I stayed at the Aruntara for about a week in Mar 2013. My wife and I shared a room, and my son had his own room. The hotel is beautifully decorated, and set on a lovely property on the river. The rooms are spacious, nicely decorated, clean, and comfortable. My wife, who is very particular about... More

We stayed two nights at the Aruntara boutique hotel and loved it very much. Secluded, yet not far from the city center by tuk tuk; friendly staff, excellent food and spacious and comfortable room. The architecture is also excellent. Excellent getaway.
