Fantastic 5.0
Travelodge Nimman is truly my favorite place to stay every time I visit Chiang Mai. It's not far from the bustling area, but it's located in a quiet neighborhood. What I look forward to most is the breakfast; while there aren't many options, the quality is consistently good and delicious. The rooms are also clean.

We stayed at G Nimman Chiang Mai Hotel from 06/30~07/04 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The minimalist architecture is reminancent of Tadao Ando’s Benesse House Museum, very impressive. And everyone works there is very kind and friendly, can’t recommend the hotel enough!!

Located in the heart of the Nimman area, surrounded by numerous coffee shops and massage parlors, the location is perfect! The front desk staff are very friendly, and there's a charming, small pool. The room was also neat and clean, and the price was reasonable. Overall, it offers excellent value for money!

Great 4.0
The room is in the heart of Chiang Mai city, clean, and close to cafes, restaurants, and bars. However, the bedroom lighting is extremely dim and confusing.

From the moment I checked in, I felt welcomed and relaxed. The hotel itself is modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed, but the real highlight is the rooftop bar. It’s the perfect escape from the busy city below—calm music, cozy seating, and panoramic views that make every evening feel special. I loved how the atmosphere was chill yet stylish, making it ideal for both solo unwinding and hanging out with friends. The cocktails were creative and well-balanced, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything felt seamless. Watching the sunset from up there with a drink in hand was honestly one of the best parts of my trip. If you’re looking for a hotel that combines comfort with a unique experience, this place is a must. The rooftop bar alone is worth the stay!

hands down on this beautiful hotel. Old Classic vibe the way I liked it. Wide big rooms also, spacious but they make sure to clean and tidy up every day. Breakfast was same every day with few added menu each day. Thank you Shangrila!

I was originally a bit nervous about checking in. As soon as I arrived at the airport, I headed straight to the hotel, getting there before 11:00 AM. The reception desk immediately processed both of my reservations, assigned me to the same room, and allowed me to check in early within ten minutes. The room had excellent soundproofing and strong air conditioning. The surrounding environment is beautiful with a river, and the central swimming pool is a natural lagoon shape with children's play facilities. There's also a buggy service for transportation. Nearby, there's a Big C supermarket and it's very close to Central Festival department store, offering great amenities. A 7-Eleven is just a 2-3 minute walk away, and there's a night market in the evenings. The bathtub is a jacuzzi. This is a five-star hotel. I will definitely come back again.

We booked this for our stay in Chiang Mai a total of 4 days. Staff were always very kind and helpful. the breakfast buffet is good. They even have a resturant which has different types of food. Just a little far away from old town, if that’s where you planning most your itinerary. We had the duluxe mountain view room, which was good. Overall would highly recommend.

The hotel's location is excellent, right next to Warorot Market, and it includes parking. So, after parking, you can take a stroll to explore the charming shops nearby. The room itself is clean and modern, providing a perfect place to relax after a tiring day.

What to know before visiting Chiang Mai Province

Things to Do in Chiang Mai

Night Bazaar

You can explore the Chiang Mai Night Bazaar for handmade goods, snacks, and easy evening walks. Many travelers come here for street food, small shops, and a relaxed night out. It’s one of the most visited attractions in Chiang Mai.

Wat Phra That Doi Suthep

You can ride up the mountain to visit Wat Phra That Doi Suthep by songthaew (red truck) or taxi from the city center. The temple is known for its views over central Chiang Mai. You can also climb the long staircase if you prefer, with detailed steps and gold details along the way.

Wat Phra Singh

Walk through Wat Phra Singh to see its halls and quiet corners. It's one of the most respected temples in Northern Thailand.

Wat Chedi Luang

Visit Wat Chedi Luang to see its large ancient structure in the middle of the city. The grounds are open for walking, and monk chat programs sometimes take place here.

Living Green Elephant Sanctuary

You can spend a peaceful half day learning about rescued elephants at the Living Green Elephant Sanctuary. You can feed them, walk with guides, and enjoy a slow, thoughtful visit.

Get your Living Green Elephant Sanctuary tickets through Klook ahead of time to make your trip easy!

Wua Lai Road

Enjoy food stalls, crafts, and music along Wua Lai Road on Saturday nights. You can try dishes like pad thai, northern Thai sausage, or vegetarian khao soi.

Tips before visiting Chiang Mai

1. Plan for the weather

Chiang Mai can be warm during the day, especially in March and April. Bring light clothes, drink water, and rest indoors if the sun feels strong. (Klook tip: You can walk into coffee shops or food courts to cool off.)

2. Visit temples with proper clothing

In most temples, you'll be asked to cover your shoulders and knees. Make sure to bring a light scarf or long shorts that work well. This will help you feel comfortable during longer walks.

3. Try local food with an open mind

Street markets offer dishes like khao soi, sticky rice, and northern Thai sausage. You can try small portions first if you’re unsure. Fresh produce and all the tropical fruits are also easy to find at local markets.

4. Learn simple transport options

Red trucks, taxis, and app-based rides like Grab will make moving around easy. Chiang Mai International Airport is close to the city, so transfers are quick. You can also rent a bike if you want to explore central Chiang Mai at your own pace.

5. Bring cash for markets

Many food stalls and small vendors prefer Thai baht rather than cards. Make sure to keep small bills for snacks, drinks, and simple gifts. This will make your visit to night markets and street markets smoother.
