The Opium Chiang Mai

The staff are super friendly and really accommodating

Pulizia, dimensioni della camera, gentilezza del personale

Location and super helpful staff ♥️

The staff were very friendly, the apartment was spacious, and the swimming pool was nice. However, we personally found the location a bit disappointing. We knew it was somewhat outside the city center, but it’s not within walking distance and there are not many facilities nearby. On the other hand, you are right in the middle of local life, which does make the area feel authentic.ol.

The main reason for our lower rating, however, is the noise from the nearby Hangout Complex. We live in Amsterdam ourselves and are used to city noise, but this was extremely loud. It literally felt like someone was singing karaoke (rather bad karaoke) next to our bed from 10 pm until 2 am. We were surprised that we hadn’t read about this in earlier reviews, especially since it appears to be a known issue and, according to the staff, previous guests have already complained about it. We would definitely not have booked if we had known since when you are travelling with young kids you appreciate a good night's sleep. We understand that the hotel itself cannot do much about this and they did try to compensate us by not charging breakfast for the first three days (since we complained after three nights as at first thought it was maybe occasionally), which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the noise still significantly affected our stay. During high season it is also not easy to find suitable alternative accommodation when traveling with young children so it would be nice if they compensated the breakfast for the full stay.
