Mida Hotel Ngamwongwan Nonthaburi — A Ngamwongwan Hotel Near the MRT Purple Line and The Mall
If you need to stay around Ngamwongwan-Khae Rai — for government business, the Ministry of Public Health, the Nonthaburi government center, or simply a value stay with easy access into the city — Mida Hotel Ngamwongwan is a name that comes up often around here. It's a 138-room, 3-star midrange hotel that opened in 2012 on Ngamwongwan Road, about 1 km from the MRT Purple Line at Nonthaburi Civic Center, with a free shuttle to The Mall Ngamwongwan-Khae Rai and the MRT station. It has an outdoor pool, a gym, and free parking, with rates from around ฿1,200/night and a score of about 8.5 from real Trip.com reviews — just know the building is showing its age, and rooms facing the road catch a fair bit of traffic noise.
What wins guests over at Mida Hotel Ngamwongwan is a location that works well for anyone with business around Nonthaburi. The hotel sits on Ngamwongwan Road, close to the Ministry of Public Health, the Nonthaburi government center, and the provincial hall. It's about 1 km from the MRT Purple Line at Nonthaburi Civic Center, and the hotel runs a free shuttle to that station as well as to The Mall Ngamwongwan-Khae Rai and Esplanade Ngamwongwan-Khae Rai, so getting into town or onto the train is straightforward.
There are 138 rooms, from a 23 m² Superior up to a 27 m² Deluxe and a Junior Suite. Rooms are done in a simple business style with a fridge, safe, LCD TV, tea/coffee maker, and a bathroom with a rainfall shower. Many guests say the rooms feel more spacious than expected for the price, which suits solo travelers and working guests who want room to set up. The trade-off is that some of the furniture and finishes are starting to show their age, in line with the year the hotel opened.
"Spacious room, comfortable bed, helpful staff and a decent breakfast. Very convenient if you're here for government business in Nonthaburi, and there's a free shuttle to the mall and the MRT. Good value."
On facilities, there's an outdoor swimming pool, a gym, and the M Cafe restaurant serving a breakfast buffet with Thai, Asian, and Continental options. Breakfast gets credit for being filling and tasting fine, though some reviews note the spread isn't huge. There's also a bar, meeting rooms for seminars, free parking for self-drivers, and a paid airport transfer that's handy for travelers connecting through Don Mueang, about 17 km away.
The thing to set expectations on before booking is that the building has been open since 2012, so it's showing its age. Some reviews mention a musty smell in the bathroom or gym areas, toiletries that aren't always complete, and — most importantly — that rooms facing Ngamwongwan Road catch a clear amount of traffic noise from the Khae Rai intersection. If you're a light sleeper or sensitive to noise, ask for an interior room away from the road.
Overall, Mida Hotel Ngamwongwan scores about 8.5 out of 10 from real Trip.com reviews (over 230 of them). Its strengths are a location that suits anyone doing business around the Nonthaburi government area, an affordable rate, a pool and gym that are uncommon at this level nearby, and the free shuttle to the mall and MRT. Rates start around ฿1,200 and rise with season and room type. If you're fine with a hotel that isn't new and you pick an interior room, it's a solid value base for business around Nonthaburi.
A tip from reading the reviews: if you plan to use the train into the city, ask about the hotel's free shuttle schedule at check-in — there are runs to the MRT station and The Mall Ngamwongwan that can save you Grab fares. For self-drivers, free parking and a spot right on a main road make it easy to reach the expressway and Rattanathibet Road.
