Hillside 3

Nimman Soi 8, Suthep

Hillside 3 is a 370-unit V Group condo on Nimman Soi 8, built in 2009 across 10 floors. It has a Google rating of 4.1/5 from 68 reviews and scores 9.4/10 for location on Booking.com. Among the three Hillside buildings, it's generally considered the best-maintained — it has a gym, yoga studio, on-site coffee shop, laundry room, and building-wide WiFi that Hillside 2 lacks entirely. From Google reviews: "very well managed and super clean" with "friendly, helpful" staff. The older build means significantly larger units than modern Nimman condos — studios here are 40sqm vs 28-30sqm in newer buildings, and 1-beds run 75sqm vs the typical 45sqm. A "luxury retrofit" trend means some units have been completely modernized while others retain original 2009 finishes. Note: multiple property listing sites (FazWaz, Thailand-Property, PropertyScout) list a communal pool, but this conflicts with on-the-ground reports — verify the pool situation in person before signing.

“Generally considered the best of the three Hillside buildings. Gym, yoga studio, laundry, coffee shop on-site, included WiFi, and bigger units than most newer condos — a typical 1-bed here is 75sqm vs 45sqm in modern builds. Set back 100m from Nimman on quieter Soi 8 but still walkable to everything. The big catch is renovation noise: owners are constantly gutting and modernizing individual units, especially April-October. Ask for floors 5+ to escape bar noise on weekends. Unit quality is a complete lottery — view the actual unit, not photos.”

Expat Tips

•Studios from 8,900 THB on Soi 8 (100m from main Nimman) with included WiFi and gym is excellent value. Roughly 10-17 units available at any given time, so there's usually something to see

•WiFi is included building-wide, but for serious remote work upgrade to private in-unit fiber. AIS Fibre and True Online serve the building (590-1,200 THB/month)

•Electric at 5 THB/unit is near the government rate — one of the cheapest in Nimman

•10-minute walk to Maya Mall. The soi itself has bars, restaurants, and a cafe scene. Walkable to One Nimman, the whole Nimman strip, and Sirimangklajarn

•Older building means larger floor plans. If space matters more than shiny new finishes, this is where to look

•Ask to view multiple units. Because owners renovate individually, the difference between a bad unit and a great one can be dramatic. Some are "cheap material, already falling off" while others are fully modern

Gotchas

•Renovation noise is the #1 complaint from Google reviews. "Loud drilling and hammering," "loud cutting of wood," "strong-smelling paint" from ongoing unit renovations. This is worst April-October when owners renovate during low season. Multiple reviewers call it "a nightmare"

•Bar noise from Soi 8 reaches lower floors on weekends. Request floor 5+ and north or east facing to minimize this

•Unit quality is a complete lottery. One Google reviewer reported bed bugs on arrival. Another described "cheap material already falling off." Always inspect in person

•Elevator keycard system can be annoying — some arrangements require getting a shared keycard from reception each time

•2009-era wiring may not handle high electrical loads. Reports of blown fuses "when using certain appliances simultaneously"

•Watch for excessive cleaning charges at checkout — one departing tenant was charged 2,000 THB for minor kitchen cleaning
