The Chum Boutique

The accommodation impresses with its stylish, clean rooms, and friendly staff. Its central location provides easy access to dining and attractions. However, some reviews mention no standout amenities.

We picked Chum’s for its great location, and the staff were lovely, friendly and welcoming. It’s definitely a bit different, quirky even as far as hotels are concerned. Overall we were happy with our choice but like other reviewers there are some things to note before booking; - there’s no elevator, not a problem for us as we’re fit and able to do 3 flights of stairs with luggage - it can be a bit noisy and there’s not much soundproofing - no breakfast available but lots of options locally and one morning the receptionist even sent out for some Ban Mi for us but lots of good breakfast options nearby in the street or the adjacent street to Chum’s or if you’re happy to walk 5-10 minutes I would recommend Cafe on Thu Wheels. - the mattresses on the beds are quite hard but you sort of get used to it. - there’s a sauna in the basement that guests can use but we didn’t. - We’d booked a duplex room but didn’t really need the second bed as only two of us (think it must have been the only room available when we booked). I would seriously worry about a child or elderly person using the mezzanine level though as it involves having to go up and down the spiral staircase. See photos! The room we had also had a bath which we didn’t feel like using, it’s a shame in a way as it compromises the useable space in the room so the shower room and toilet are small but other guests may love having a bath as well as a shower. Would recommend a stay but we might try a different room next time.
