excellent hotel, very thai.An oasis of quietness in a superb location right in the center of the old city ,walking distance of main temples.
Nice rooms , thai style...good service, good restaurant , at very reasonable prices.

I think it is important to keep all these reviews in perspective. We stayed at the Tamarind and paid a massive amount ~ 200USD. For this price, I expected better. Under the guise of "boutique hotel", the rooms are basic and austere. The fixtures, mainly, came off. The ladder that holds towels fell on me. The sink tap cover came off loose and at one point, the flsuh did not work. There was minimal storage space. The rooms are dark and no light enters until mid day. Yet despite this, the place is truly lovely and I may still stay at teh same place. On this third visit, though, we footwalked to many other places to scout more choices as we really felt we had overpaid and got little in return. For 1200 Baht for a massage per hour, and 300 outside, that is an indicator. I also found the crowd to homogeneous - too many Germans and we Asians stuck out like sore thumbs.

Very close to main markets and temples

Excellent breakfast

Quiet and secluded

Nice, large pool

Friendly staff

Pretty rooms, nice design

We staid 3 nights at Tamarind Village. It's perfectly located, very quiet, Standard room was nice, service was excellent, restaurant served great food. Had a massage at their SPA. I would definitly go back and I strongly recommand this hotel. I just hope they won't increase their rates, as they are in my opinion in the high range for this category.

They booked us a tour with PATARA Elephant Farm, but we had a bad experience (expected service/activities not fully delivered and poorly handled).
