Baan Orapin

The pool and historic charm of the building were amazing. The breakfast was amazing - but be aware if you want one of the special breakfasts you need to request it the day before. The location is great - walking distance to restaurants, cafes, the river and not too far to get to China town. The room was spacious, as was the bathroom and all was well maintained. Staff made effort to make the trip special and did provide a lot of guidance and information on the local tourist spots.

The pool is directly in the middle of walkways of the accomodation, reception, and dine in area and doesn’t feel very private. Communication was difficult as there was some confusion where I requested an early breakfast one day as I had a different schedule to my partner. They provided early room breakfast for both of us - but I was quite clear about just one. He didn’t eat the room breakfast and was rejected from ordering a breakfast in the main dining room. He had to walk to a nearby cafe and order breakfast there. There was also a family staying above with kids running around and screaming a lot. This was circumstantial and is not fault of the accommodation.

Exquisite historic property and gardens hidden behind a big gate in a central but quiet area by the river. Smaller buildings dotted around the garden house rooms for guests. Our room (a junior suite) was clean, calm, beautiful, with a comfortable four poster with pretty mosquito net (we didn’t see any mosquitoes) and lovely authentic furniture befitting the age of the main property. Staff and owners were charming and helpful. Delicious breakfast on a terrace of the main house overlooking the pool. Some breakfast items have to be preordered, but everything we had was excellent and included lots of fresh fruit. Easy to walk to markets or the old city over the footbridge, or a tuktuk to the bus or train stations in about 10 mins. One of the nicest places we’ve ever stayed in.

Beautiful heritage building with traditional building style for the four accomodation blocks. Location was perfect and suited our family of four with older teenagers. 2 min walk to great food/coffee, 15 min walk to markets. Baan Orapin is an oasis with easy access to all that Chiang Mai has to offer.

Traditional Thai architecture and style. Very homey and tucked away

The road in front has gotten really busy over the years, so it’s a trek with lots of busy road crossings to get to main parts of Chiang Mai

Peace & tranquility in the heart of a city! Beautiful gardens filled with incredible plants bringing shade and relaxation. Our room “201” was just perfect, spacious, comfortable bed, balcony overlooking the garden & pool, tucked away at the back making it very quiet at night. We loved the Laana Thai decor authentic & homely. Cleaners cleaned our room daily, topped the water up. Breakfast was delicious & fresh, staff were so lovely to be around. Quite honestly the best place I’ve stayed in during my Asian travels. I do not want to leave, in fact we extended our stay.

We loved everything

Everything - the pool, the staff, the breakfast. Great room - very spacious and relaxing. The bed was very comfy. We stayed at another end of Chiang Mai recently and this part was a lot more chilled out.

Nothing. I want to go back!

The calm and the setting of the hotel

Nothing

In a lovely area surrounded by coffee shops with easy access to the footbridge across the Ping river. An oasis of calm during the day but close to all amenities. I particularly liked the shower at Baan Oripin - water pressure was the best I’ve ever known in Thailand and the rooms are a good size with authentic local decor. It’s a bit of a gem if I’m honest. I have paid far more for 5 star chain hotels in Chang Mai but prefer Baan Oripin. Breakfast is really good too.
