Victoria Nimman Hotel

Clean and nice, just an older hotel. In its day it must of been extravagant.

I stayed here for one night before moving into a studio I had rented. The room was comfortable enough, the staff were friendly and a nice breakfast was included in the hotel rate.

Good hotel with a good view from the balcony, clean and you get free water every day. In front of it is a 7/11. Receptionists and stuff members are friendly and welcoming. Breakfast is in Asian style, I liked it. The coffee, however, was really bad at breakfast. The location is more far outside from the city center than I imagined - around 40 walking minutes to the north gate of the old town. Now to the biggest contra: For the whole 300 bhat I arranged a transfer at 6 am with the hotel to the airport (10 minutes drive). You can get a taxi for (under) a 100 bhat with any app. I wanted to arrange a transfer with the hotel because I wasn’t sure that I get a taxi at this time. The car was really old and one seat belt wasn’t working. There were no head cushions in the back - it’s actually quite dangerous.

My stay at Victoria Nimman Hotel was for only one night, to accommodate a night between my visit to Chiang Rai and a flight to Bangkok, from Chiang Mai, so my experience with this hotel is limited. The check in was smooth. I arrived a half hour before the 2:00 pm official check in time, and the staff confirmed my reservation and held my luggage in a secure area so I could shop at the Makro grocery store across the street in the meantime. There were two negative points that I could mention: first (not the hotels fault) is noisy construction directly across the street from my room, and lastly is the very hard mattress on the bed. I usually prefer a firm mattress but but this one is more like sleeping on a rock! Overall, I would stay at Victoria Nimman Hotel again, despite these two drawbacks, but I would ask for a room on the opposite side of the hotel, away from the jackhammering noise from the construction project.
