Overall Ratings & Reviews The Opium Chiang Mai

Lots of cafes nearby and huge rooms

Great place to stay and friendly staff

Front desk staff are extremely helpful. The room was clean and there were many places within walking distance. Catching cabs to other places was very convenient

I found this property amazing for the value. I felt our hotel had all the amenities I needed - option for breakfast, swimming pool, A/C, bedsheets (this I found interesting as many hotels in Chiang Mai had "no bedsheets provided" in their description), options for massages and airport transport. The hot water was readily available and the A/C worked very well. The place was very clean. The people at reception including the owner were all very friendly and helpful. We ran into an issue of our hot water tank not heating up and the issue was fixed quickly. Being picked up from the airport was helpful and the owner gave us useful tips of nearby eating along the drive, along with knowing where the nearest 7-11 was. The hotel also offered tours with comparable pricing to other tour options and websites. I would have loved to be able to have extended my check out time as I had a late flight but was unable to. However it was still very helpful that I could leave as much of my luggage as I needed with them so I could still enjoy the day in Chiang Mai without worrying about my luggage.

The hotel said they had free shuttle there was no shuttle.The hotel was far from old town,or the night market.The hotel was far from most things.

The photos do not look the hotel. They advertise a free airport shuttle,no shuttle. The hotel is far from old town.You have take taxi to get anywhere.

We had a great room, very spacious, clean, well equipped with a nice view of the pool. Our room was clean and very comfortable. They offered breakfast only but are currently adding a restaurant to the property which will be a welcomed addition.

The staff are very friendly and nice.

Very noisy during night time. Music very loud next building.

Lovely hotel in a peaceful location

The pool was pretty cold and the breakfast was small. But other than that this place was great. Bed was large and comfortable, location is near a lot of food and drink opportunities, located back off the main road just enough to be quiet, plenty of trees and plants add to the chilled out vibe. Staff was friendly and helpful. I would love to stay here again.

The key power slot not located beside the door. Groping in the dark to find it. Also, the tiles in the room is very slippery. Be careful, it is hazardous. You can easily slip and fell if your legs are wet.

Very quiet area and staff very nice

The staff is amazing and my room was nice but there are serious issues that will prevent me from returning. First the listing contains a number of false statements. The rooms are far from soundproof and there is a popular night club right behind the hotel. There is no spa, restaurant or bar. They also do not have luggage storage. We had 10 hours between when we checked out and our flight and they wanted to store our luggage in a hallway right nest to the elevator. The biggest concern i have is the lack of security. The lighting is poor in all common areas. There are no deadbolts or any type of actually security grade locks. They also use the scans of peoples ID and passports as scratch paper. I received several receipts with someone's ID printed on the back.

The staff was very nice and helpful with anything I needed or any concern. The breakfast was really good and the ladies preparing it were awesome! The BEST coffee ever! And the cleaning people were also great. The location is pretty good if you want to enjoy the street food or get a massage. The scooters are annoying but you will find that anywhere here. The gym needs some repairs but still usable. All in all a great experience at the hotel. Thank you!

The staff was Excellent. It felt like a little tropical resort in the middle of the city. The cats were always friendly also. It could use some fixing up in the showers and the beds were too old. Other than that, excellent option for the price!

The property is excellent and I will definitely book it again. The hotel have tour guide/program and the staffs are easy to communicate with. I rate 5/5.

My stay here was just ok. One of the first nights I stayed here, a cockroach crawled across my bed as I was getting ready to go to sleep. I told the staff the next day and they were apologetic. A few days later, I saw a pest control truck which leads me to believe this wasn't an isolated incident. Pool chairs are coming apart, the linens were often frayed, my duvet even had a hole in it that was conveniently tucked into the bed to conceal it. The cafe nearby had a better breakfast for a similar price. I will say, the grounds are very attractive. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Property has great Thai charm. Beds are very hard and squeak when moving.

The room wasn't ready until late in the day and they weren't very friendly or accommodating. There were no toiletries and the room was older and more run-down than expected from the pictures. The pool was undergoing construction and was dirty and small. Overall, this was a letdown.
