Stay with Nimman Chiang Mai

10/10 Excellent
" Clean large spacious room. Staff is excellent, very friendly and welcoming. Abundant breakfast and service in a beautiful restaurant. AC works great. Location was perfect, so many food options and stores to visit. I highly recommend this hotel. The only thing I’d mention is that you should bring earplugs because there’s a lot of loud restaurants in the area. Walls a bit thin also. "
