Nivas Chiangmai

Nivas Chiangmai has been open since 2018, and in that time it's built one of the stronger review records in this batch — a five-star apartment property scoring 9 out of 10 from 129 reviews. Set in Nimman, 3.8 km from the Old City centre and 4.7 km from Chiang Mai International Airport, this is serviced-apartment living rather than a conventional hotel, and Uncle Kham has watched Nimman grow into the city's most design-conscious neighbourhood, full of cafés and galleries that didn't exist a decade ago.

Getting to Nivas Chiangmai

Public transport is confirmed within 440 metres of the property, a genuine convenience for guests who'd rather not rely on grab cars for every trip. The Old City centre sits 3.8 km away and the airport 4.7 km, both easy by taxi, and airport transfer is listed among the guest-loved highlights. Free WiFi covers every apartment throughout the stay.

Rooms & What to Expect

Four apartment types are on file, each with a distinct outlook. The 2-Bedroom Suite (mountain-facing) is the standout at 77 square metres, offering flexible bed configurations from a single king to two kings or a queen — genuinely adaptable for families or groups with different sleeping needs. The Standard Twin Room, 39 sqm with two single beds, looks over the street and suits solo travellers or friends on a shorter stay. A second Two Bedroom Suite, also 77 sqm with the same flexible bedding options, looks over the city instead of the mountains. The Superior King, 39 sqm with a king bed and a garden outlook, rounds out the range as the most compact option.

Amenities & Facilities

Nivas Chiangmai centres its offering on two outdoor pools, including one with a notable outlook, alongside two separate fitness rooms for guests keeping up a routine during their stay. Balconies or terraces feature among what guests loved most, giving every apartment a genuine outdoor spot rather than just a window.

What's Nearby — Temples, Markets & Local Life

Chiang Mai Zoo is the closest major attraction at 1.14 km, an easy trip for families. Wat Phra Singh sits 3.35 km away, Wat Chedi Luang 3.83 km, Tha Phae Gate 4.37 km, and Wua Lai Walking Street 4.38 km — all realistic for a full day out in the Old City. Closer to the apartment, indoor parking is available just 200 metres off, and the Lanna Kiat Busaba Muay Thai camp sits at the same distance for guests curious about the sport. Kad Theatre, 330 metres away, is a genuine local cinema, and dedicated tourist parking sits 340 metres out. The Chiang Mai University night market, 350 metres away, is exactly the kind of student-priced, locally loved evening spot Uncle Kham would send a guest to before any tourist-focused alternative.

Dining

No specific on-site restaurant is confirmed here, which fits the serviced-apartment model — guests are set up to cook or eat out as they please rather than rely on a single hotel kitchen. Nimman's own dense cluster of cafés and restaurants sits within easy reach for anyone who'd rather not cook every night.

Other Hotels Nearby

For guests weighing other options nearby, Ang Kaew Pool Villa 4BR 5 Min Drive to Nimmanhemin sits just 0.1 km away at 4.5 stars with a 9.1/10 score. The Core Gallery Hotel, 0.2 km off, offers a more conventional hotel format at four stars and 8.7/10. ibis Styles Chiang Mai, 0.4 km away, rounds out the group at four stars and 8.4/10 — a recognisable international chain option in the same pocket of Nimman.

Guest Reviews

Cleanliness and staff service both lead the category scores at 9.6 out of 10, well above their respective city averages of 8.5. Value for money follows at 9.3 against an average of 8.2, and facilities score 9.1 versus 8 — all strong numbers. Location, at 8.8 against a city average of 7.8, rounds out a genuinely consistent set of reviews across every category measured.

Good to Know

Check-in opens at 15:00 and check-out is due by 11:00 — worth noting, as it's earlier than the standard midday check-out found at most hotels in this batch. Free WiFi covers every apartment. Having opened in 2018, Nivas Chiangmai has had several years to refine its serviced-apartment concept.

Nivas Chiangmai isn't a hotel pretending to be an apartment. It's a genuine apartment stay in Nimman's design district, with two pools, real kitchen-adjacent comfort, and a review record that backs up the confidence.
