• Unfortunately a dissapointment

  I found the Top-North Guesthouse (not to be mistaken for Top North Hotel, which is a different accomodation!) on the internet. It has a very nice website and the pictures were nice. The booking through the internet went perfect. I arrived at Top-North after a long journey by train from Ayutthaya and I was quite tired. I decided to take a shower before ordering dinner. Downsides: the room was very dirty and there were huge spiderwebs across the ceiling, the shower was even worse. Also there was a lot of noise from the clubs, which were located very nearby, so it cost me some time to finally fall asleep even though I consider myself to be a hardcore sleeper (then again; I was very tired). I should better have checked in in the new rooms across the pool, which were depicted on the website but of course these were more expensive. The room I checked in wasn't on their website, so I kinda got the wrong idea about it. Plussides: Very nice pool, helpfull and friendly staff, okay dinner. It was really relaxing to dine at the poolside. Though the room was awfull, the bed was allright. Nonetheless I thought I could do better for the same rate so I decided to check out after staying for one night and moved to Tawan Guesthouse (Tapae Rd, soi 6), which turned out to be even cheaper.

• Loud Music nextdoors!

  Unfortunately the Top North Guesthouse doesn't qualify for good housing unless lack of sleep is of no concern. Main issue that there are some major nightclubs one block away and they have so powerful soundsystem that the bedframe was shaking and windows rattled until late morning. Estimate is that they start this around 22:00 and end sometime 02:00-03:00. Otherwise the room offered a mini-balcony, decently clean room and bed sheets. Nice to have the pool and spa with sauna. If the nightclubs would move elsewhere I could recommend this place.

• Loud and dirrrty

  I went there when I arrived at Chiang Mai because on the web it seemed nice, but after one night I went over to the Tawan Guesthouse. Reasons why I didn't like it here: I was tired after travelling for more than 10 hours and needed some sleep, but The loud music of the Disco kept me awake for a long time. Also the room was dirty with big spiderwebs. The bathroom was even dirtier than the room, and the shower was awful! Pluspoint: A nice swimmingpool. So don't go here, unless you want to hang around the pool all day!

• Forget it!

  I just can say: Don´t go there! We go there, cause it looks very nice on the homepage. But after arriving, we was very dissapointed. The rooms are dirty (realy dirty with bigger spiderwebs than in the djungle) and also very old. First we want to stay there four nights, but after two nights without one minute of sleep we moved to another place, cause there is a very loud Discothek just around the corner. At least we found a nother guest house which was very new and clean and we paid only 50 Baht more for the room. I can´t understand how some people or travelguides can recommend the Top North Guest House. For me there is not one only reason to go there again.

• Dirty

  The Top North Hotel messed up our booking and decided to put us up here. The room was very basic and dirty but the pool area was good, as was the location. Staff were the surliest we met in Thailand.

• Worth it for the pool

  Some of the rooms here are a bit grotty, so look at a few to make sure you're happy. Having the pool was brilliant, and the tour desk was very helpful and informative. Would stay here again.

• Don't go

  The rooms were ugly, not very clean, and one AC didn't function. The staff wasn't efficient and the swimming pool was crowded. We left after one night.

• Nice place, good location.

  We paid 200B a night at the Top North Guesthouse for a twin room (hot water). We had two rooms, and both were basic but clean. The provided towels -- didn't always smell clean though! Nice to have a pool, but it needs replacing, the broken tiles cut my feet! Lots of families here, but I would disagree that it's a good place for families. The surrounding bars are mostly brothels. You get used to being surrounded by prostitution when travelling around Thailand, it's just their way, and can be quite a laugh especially as a white female travelling with white men! That said, if I was a mum I wouldn't be taking my kids. Although, for Chiang Mai, this is probably as family orientated as your gonna get!

• Pretty bad!

  I booked ahead but luckily looked at the room first. Wouldn't want to spend a night there, especially for the steep price. Only good feature might be the pool.

• Stay away!

  Filthy as ****, and run-down. Only 150B less than the much better newer TN Hotel.

• Pretty good

  The rooms are a close match for hotels twice the price and the pool is also pretty decent. Parts of the pool area are quite shaded at certain times of the day, but that's not always a bad thing. Decent restaurant, good location and overall if I go back to Chiang Mai I'll probably stay here again.
