Great Choice in the Nimman Area
Well located hotel in a very busy & popular area close to Maya Mall and many restaurants, pubs & clubs. Convenient parking in their garage and there are 2 exits (Huay Kaew Rd & Nimmanhaemin Rd) making it easy to get to where you want to go after you learn a little bit about the roads & traffic patterns in the area. EXCELLENT breakfast buffet - one of the very best in Chiang Mai! Nice fitness room and rooftop pool with a view of Doi Suthep & Maya. Getting a good night's sleep can be difficult at many area hotels due to outside noise from traffic, bars & nightclubs, but the rooms at the U Nimman seem to have good sound proofing because I wasn't bothered by that at all. Service very good from all the staff. The bathroom design is a bit odd - OK for a single or couple but would probably be awkward for a family or 2 people twin sharing. Just 2 negatives for me:
(1) In-room Furniture - I don't find the oval shaped low-to-the-ground sofa comfortable, and the simple desk & desk chair in the Premium Deluxe rooms seem of rather cheap quality but OK (the base room category rooms don't have any desk so I would never want to stay in those, as I spend time using my laptop & need a reasonably convenient & comfortable setup for that). And (2) my laundry came back smelling like a bouquet of very fragrant flowers, to the point that I had to wash things twice again to get the strong smell out. All things considered though it was a great stay & I will gladly go back again.
